MOBILE-BASED APPLICATIONS DETERMINATION OF NETWORK COMPUTER TECHNIQUES FOR VOCATIONAL COMPETENCE TESTS OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL OF PRINGSEWU DISTRICT

Quality Vocational High Schools are viewed from the feasibility of facilities and infrastructure that help develop students' skills in the learning process so that they can meet the standards of Vocational Competency Test. The purpose of this study is to find out the quality of the Computer Network Engineering laboratory facilities owned in Pringsewu Regency. In this study five alternatives were used as samples to be tested for the feasibility of the Network Computer Engineering laboratory to determine the quality of the laboratory owned by the Vocational High School related to using the calculation process manually and the process of calculating using the system. The due diligence process uses the system faster with accurate results compared to the manual calculation process which takes a long time. Based on the comparison of the due diligence process, it can be said that the due diligence process uses a faster, more precise and easier system

Poverty is a difficult problem to deal with. According to the current BPS poverty rate in Indonesia it still reaches 11.7% with the poverty depth index increasing from 1.75% (March 2013) to 1.89%. Then the poverty severity index increased from 0.43% (March) to 0.48%. The poverty line during the period from March to September 2013 increased by 7.85%. For this reason, criteria are needed to determine whether a family is classified as poor or not in Pringsewu District does not yet have criteria with a level of importance to make these decisions. For this reason, a decision support system is needed that can be an alternative decision support in determining poverty potential in Pringsewu district. In the calculation to determine the level of family poverty the Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making method is used. The manual test results using eight criteria from Nine alternatives where Alternative 6 is the alternative with the highest value of 75.25, and the lowest alternative is in Alternative 4, so Alternative 4 is an alternative identified as potential poverty in the Pringsewu District with a value of 46.25

Humorous worlds: a cognitive stylistic approach to the creation of humour in comic narratives

In this thesis, I examine some of the ways in which humour is created in comic novels. I combine concepts from cognitive stylistics and psychology to address the question: ‘How does the construction of narrative worlds contribute to the creation of humour in narratives?’. I suggest that the narrative world can be designed to enhance the humour of particular elements which appear in it by encouraging a playful interpretation of those elements. I call the narrative worlds which are constructed to elicit an overall experience of humour humorous worlds and outline some of the techniques which writers use to build them, focusing on three aspects: (1) Disrupted Schemata. In the first chapter, I discuss the elements which are used to build humorous worlds. I outline the ways in which representations of settings, objects, characters and situations which make up humorous worlds can be manipulated to achieve an amusing effect. I demonstrate some of the applications of schema theory in the stylistics of humorous texts, including Cook’s schema disruption and schema refreshment (1994), Gibbs’ soft-assembling of schemata (2003) and Schank and Abelson’s notion of scripts thrown off normal course (1977). I link those to McGhee’s concept of fantasy-assimilation (1972). (2) Repetition and Variation. I then outline some of the ways in which the disrupted elements are combined. I write about repetition and variation, which in humorous narratives operates in two ways (conceptual/stylistic) and on two levels (local/extended). I discuss the cognitive mechanisms involved in them (by drawing on, for example, Emmott’s 1997 contextual frame theory) and hypothesise about their amusing effect by basing my work on classic research in psychology (Berlyne 1972, Suls 1972). (3) Humorous Mode. Finally, I discuss the devices which mark humorous worlds as humorous. I point out that comic narratives need to be labelled as humorous discourse and that the humorous cueing/keying in novels is less explicit than that in jokes. I apply Triezenberg’s model of humour enhancers (2004) to humorous extracts, analyse narrative strategies in the opening paragraphs of a number of humorous novels and suggest some ways in which a manipulation of distance (e.g. Leech and Short 2007) between the writer and the reader can be seen as a humorous cueing strategy. I argue that while creating humour in narratives requires a skilful stylistic manipulation on the part of the writer, making sense of it demands a considerable cognitive effort from the reader. Through a range of examples from nine humorous novels (by authors including Heller, Fielding, Pratchett, Amis, Roth and Vonnegut) and relevant secondary literature, I illustrate how a cognitive stylistic analysis of humour in narratives has the potential to offer some hypotheses not only about reading comprehension, but also about the pleasure of reading

Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penerimaan Pegawai Baru Pada Pabrik Penggilingan Padi Dengan Metode Weighted Product

Recruitment is a process of search and withdrawal of workers who have the potential to fill vacancies, qualified workforce is very influential on the performance of the company's progress. In the decision-making process of production employee acceptance is still influenced by subjectivity factor and the company often has difficulty in choosing the employee, because the number of prospective employees who apply for while to be accepted become very limited employee. This study uses the method of weighted product because the method of weighted product is one method of completion of multi criteria where in the recruitment of many criteria to be considered
