Strategi Revitalisasi Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan

Revitalisasi Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) sangat penting dilakukan dan diharapkan mampu memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan mutu pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi revitalisasi dari salah satu Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) di Kabupaten Sukabumi, Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMKN 1 Cibadak dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder, dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisis deskriptif dengan model interaktif, untuk memperdalam hasil analisis digunakan tool analysis berupa analisis SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) dan IFAS (Internal Factor Analysis Strategy) serta EFAS (External Factor Analysis Strategy). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, skor IFAS adalah 2.25 dan Skor EFAS adalah 0.79, sehingga posisi kuadran yang tepat dalam matriks SWOT untuk SMKN 1 Cibadak terletak pada kuadran 1 ((Strenght Opportunity). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa strategi SMKN 1 Cibadak untuk melakukan revitalisasi yaitu strategi SO (Strenght Opportunity) yang berarti sekolah sejatinya melakukan strategi progresif dengan memanfaatkan kekuatan untuk menangkap peluang

The Apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje: The convergence of Croation nationalism on her apparitions

This article concerns the alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary in one of the most popular, 'active' apparitional sites in the world: Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The connection between nationalist discourse and apparitions has often been observed and noted in the literature on nationalism; however, the examples of this connection are scattered in the literature and the question why the apparitional phenomenon so easily lends itself to co-option into nationalist discourse has never been addressed. This article explores this question by showing that what binds the two phenomena together is the idea of 'chosenness' and 'specialness', which in turn can be theoretically linked to discussions about national election in the literature on nationalism. This article illustrates the convergence of nationalist and apparitional discourses by drawing on a selected number of examples of how the apparitions in Medjugorje have been appropriated by Croatian nationalist discourse

Search for leptoquarks in Z0^{0} decays

We have searched for direct leptoquark production in Z 0 decays from a scan of the Z 0 resonance, in the energy range 88.2 ≤ √s ≤94.2 GeV, using 5.2 pb -1 of data. We exclude the existence of scalar leptoquarks with masses less than 41 to 44 GeV, depending on the charge assignments, at the 95% confidence level
