Developing Strategic Reports for National Co-Operative of Malaysia (Angkasa) Using Data Warehouse and Decision Tree Model

Managing an organization requires access to information in order to monitor activities and assess performance. Business Intelligence (BI) solutions provide organizations with timley, itegrated information that is crucial to the understanding of their business. Data Warehouse (DW) technology is one of the important strategic management approaches for decision making in an organizations. The BI combines architectures, tools, databases, analytical tools, and methodologies to enable the implementation of interactive information in generating analytical reports. Strategic reports, which influence the enduring way of the whole company, are typically used by top managers. These kinds of decisions are repeatedly complex and the outcomes unsure, because existing information is habitually incomplete. Managers at this point must normally depend on history experiences and their instincts when making strategic decisions. DW is a technology allows integrating and transforming enterprise data for strategic decision making. Furthermore, Decision Tree (DT) is a decision support tool that uses a tree-like graphof decisions and their possible consequences, including chance event outcomes, resource costs, and utility. The organization, which is, responsible to manage people activities need strategic decisions making. This paper will be focused how to design and develop Strategic Reports using DW and DT Model for National Co-operative Organization of Malaysia (ANGKASA) called DSRNCO, as a case study. This system has been evaluated through the system user feedback by using Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ), which measures system usability and user satisfaction

Improved Stack-Slide Searches for Gravitational-Wave Pulsars

We formulate and optimize a computational search strategy for detecting gravitational waves from isolated, previously-unknown neutron stars (that is, neutron stars with unknown sky positions, spin frequencies, and spin-down parameters). It is well known that fully coherent searches over the relevant parameter-space volumes are not computationally feasible, and so more computationally efficient methods are called for. The first step in this direction was taken by Brady & Creighton (2000), who proposed and optimized a two-stage, stack-slide search algorithm. We generalize and otherwise improve upon the Brady-Creighton scheme in several ways. Like Brady & Creighton, we consider a stack-slide scheme, but here with an arbitrary number of semi-coherent stages and with a coherent follow-up stage at the end. We find that searches with three semi-coherent stages are significantly more efficient than two-stage searches (requiring about 2-5 times less computational power for the same sensitivity) and are only slightly less efficient than searches with four or more stages. We calculate the signal-to-noise ratio required for detection, as a function of computing power and neutron star spin-down-age, using our optimized searches.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, RevTeX

Rancang Bangun Sistem Regulations Legislation Library Di Sekretariat Dprd Kabupaten Jombang Menggunakan Embarcadero Delphi Xe3

Parliament Secretariat is agency that provides administrative services and providers to support the smooth running of secretarial duties and legislative functions as place where had made rules and regulations that apply in that area .Information technology facilities utilization is required to increase effectiveness and efficiency the performance of secretariat really can be better so the application of technology in the scope of government and the duties more optimal.A large number of books and legal regulations legislation can be managed as benefits the library at Parliament Secretariat. the classification system is required so that the circulation of information,archive and document storage becomes more accurate and well-organized.So that the authors design a system information books and regulations legislation data in the scope of the Parliament secretariat institutions.In this study realized "Design System of 'Regulations Legislation Library'at the Jombang Parliament Secretariat Using Embarcadero Delphi XE3" with Touch technology and MYSQL as database server

The Ideology of the Politician Discourse in Talk Shows: An Analytical Study

The article aims to explore the ideology of Jordanian politicians discourse in the talk shows, based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in its ideological aspect, and by applying Van Dijk ideological square. The population has been the program Friendly Fire (NiranSadeeqah) that is broadcast on Amman TV. Seven episodes have been analyzed (of which, their airtime accumulated to (5 hrs. and 51 minutes) that hosted seven Jordanian prime ministers. The analysis categories have been determined based on Van Dijk ideological square; (Emphasizing positive things about Us, emphasizing negative things about Them, De-emphasize negative things about Us, De-emphasizing positive things about Them). The results concluded that the ideology of the Jordanian politicians discourse sought primarily to De-emphasize of the negativity related to the Jordanian politician (36.4%), with (2.07 hrs.) of the seven episodes. At the second rank, the Jordanian politicians discourse focused on emphasizingthe positivity of politician Jordanian (28.7%) with (1.52.30 hrs.). Thirdly, they sought to “Emphasize negative things about others” (19.7%) with (01:06:20 hrs.). Finally, they focused on “De-emphasizing positive things about others (15.2%) with (0:45:30 hrs.)

Mobile Journalism Skills of Field Reporters of TV Channels

The article aimed to identify the level of mobile journalism skills that field reporters in Jordanian TV channels have. It adopted the survey methodology and applied it to an available sample of (56) reporters. The results showed that self-skills (most important are journalistic sense and observation skills and skills of adapting to smartphones) came first. Professional skills (most important are the skills of communicating with sources, and the skills of transmitting, publishing, and distributing media materials) came second. While technical skills (such as the skill of searching for and verifying information, images and videos, and skills of protecting and securing information) came in the third and final order, being the least of the skills for field reporters. The results also revealed that the most important ethical standards for mobile journalism for reporters are avoiding fabricating journalistic stories, respecting religions, and preserving the confidentiality of sources. Finally, the results concluded that there is a correlation between mobile journalism skills and commitment to ethical standards in the production of media content via mobile

International Law Study Concerning Termination of Diplomatic Relationships by Arab Countries Against Qatar

The practice of unilateral termination of diplomatic relations between countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, United Arab Emirates, Yemen and the Maldives against Qatar due to reason that Qatar is 'accused' of supporting, funding and embracing terrorism, extremism and sectarian organizations are normal matters in international law. Such ebb and flow of diplomatic relations are common among countries, although in fact no state in the world can live alone therefore requiring cooperative relations with other countries, no positive side of termination of diplomatic relationship, this can be seen in practice of countries against Qatar. The actions of several States against Qatar may be justified as part of the sovereignty of the state which cannot be intervened by any State under the warranty granted by Article 2 of the United Nations Charter.
