Rebranding Greece: Why Nation Branding Matters

Nation branding is an emerging concept with increased practical activity but fairly limited theory. Politicians engage actively in branding practices for their countries. Why do governments utilize certain branding strategies and ignore others? How have politicians come to perceive nation branding as a successful foreign policy strategy? This article seeks to examine the political aspect of nation branding and clarify the concept as a subset of international relations, and more specifically, its connection to public diplomacy. Finally, the article analyzes the case of Greece and the current branding campaign pursued by its government. What has Greece done in the past to enhance its brand and how is it going to resuscitate its image? Is nation branding a phenomenon that increases during a crisis? Through analyzing the Greek government’s policy choices, the article will assess the degree to which branding is one function of a nation’s image enhancement

MODEL LATIHAN KETERAMPILAN PUKULAN HOOK “JIMAX” BERBANTUAN ANDROID PADA ATLET TINJU USIA 16-30 TAHUN

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan dan menguji model latihan keterampilan pukulan hook “Jimax” berbantuan android pada atlet tinju usia 16-30 tahun. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian pengembangan Research and Development (R&D) dari Borg and Gall. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah atlet tinju amatir dan profesional putra di Jakarta yang berusia 16-30 tahun. Uji coba skala kecil dilakukan di dua sasana tinju dengan 20 atlet, uji coba skala besar di empat sasana tinju dengan 40 atlet, sedangkan uji efektivitas dilakukan pada 20 atlet sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan 20 atlet sebagai kelompok kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teknik dasar pukulan hook. Hasil penelitian diperoleh 16 model latihan keterampilan pukulan hook “Jimax” untuk atlet tinju usia 16-30 tahun. Nilai rata-rata N-Gain Score kelompok eksperimen sebesar 0,4078 dengan kategori sedang dan untuk kelompok kontrol sebesar 0,1194 dengan kategori rendah. Perbandingan nilai rata-rata kelompok eksperimen sebesar 9,84 sedangkan kelompok kontrol sebesar 3,35. Uji perbedaan rata- rata kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol didapat t hitung sebesar 8,616 dengan df=38 dan nilai signifikansi (2-tailed) 0,000 < 0,05. Dengan demikian model latihan “Jimax” lebih efektif meningkatkan keterampilan pukulan hook daripada model latihan konvensional. The purpose of this study was to produce and test an android-assisted model of the “Jimax” hook punching skill training on boxing athletes aged 16-30 years by implementing Research and Development (R&D) research method from Borg and Gall. The participants in this study were amateur and professional male boxing athletes in Jakarta aged 16-30 years. In this study, small-scale trials were carried out in two boxing gyms with 20 athletes, while large-scale trials were carried out in four boxing gyms with 40 athletes. Then, the effectiveness test was carried out on 20 athletes as the experimental group and 20 athletes as the control group. The instrument used in this study was the basic hook technique which led this study to obtain 16 models of "Jimax" hook punching skill training for boxing athletes aged 16-30 years. The average value of the N-Gain Score for the experimental group was 0.4078 in the medium category and for the control group was 0.1194 in the low category with the comparison of the average value of the experimental group was 9.84 while the control group was 3.35. The test of the difference in the average of the experimental group and the control group obtained 8.616 with df = 38 and a significance value (2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05 which found that the "Jimax" training model is more effective in improving hook punching skill than the conventional training models

Pendidikan Program Doktor Di Era Digital

The world is now in the era of industrial revolution 4.0, which emphasizes the digital economy, artificial intelligence, big data, robotic phenomenon, or known as the phenomenon of distruptive innovation. Former Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Mohamad Nasir explained, based on an initial evaluation of the country's readiness to face the 4.0 industrial revolution, Indonesia is estimated to be a country with high potential. Although still below Singapore at the Southeast Asia level, Indonesia's position is quite calculated. Meanwhile, in relation to the global competitiveness index at the 2017-2018 World Economic Forum, Indonesia is in the 36th position, up five places from the previous year's 41st position of 137 countries. Nasir in a press conference stated, “When compared to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, we are still below. In 2019, Thailand's global competitiveness index was ranked 32nd, Malaysia 23, and Singapore 3. Several reasons why Indonesia still lost due to weak higher education and training, science and technology readiness, and innovation and business sophistication. This is what needs to be improved so that our competitiveness is not low. This article is a qualitative description with literature study on future Doctoral Education in the digital era 4.0 in welcoming the era of society 5.0. Learning patterns in doctoral university programs are required to change in producing quality and adaptive lecturers to changing times for future generations. Face-to-face lectures in class or online are theoretically two semesters, then write and conduct research related to the dissertation topic under the guidance of the promoter professor to be published in international journals.
