Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan, Locus of Control Terhadap Kinerja Internal Auditor (Penelitian Pada PT. Bank Sulut Dan PT. Bni, Tbk)

In facing the environment change, a company should level up the effectiveness of management control to achieve the final goal between the individual and the organization. That is why a leader should be able to motivate the subordinates so the goal can be achieved. Besides leadership style, locus of control also affects the internal auditor performance. Internal Auditor performance is one of the important indicators to reach the banking company success that is the reason why the researcher is interested with the title of this final task.This research is aimed to know the influence of leadership style and locus of control on the internal auditor performance. This research was done at 2 ( two) banking companies, those are PT. Bank SULUT and PT. BNI, Tbk. In this research the independent variable ( X ) are the leadership style ( X1 ) and locus of control ( X ) ; meanwhile the dependent variable ( Y ) is performance ( Y ) . The data collection method used is through survey and questioner with a list of questions. It would be answered by the respondents and those are the internal auditors. The technique used in data analysis to test the hypothesis was done by using the double linear regression analysis and processed through SPSS program Version 19.0. The result shows that the leadership style partially does not have an effect on the performance of internal auditor but the locus of control has an effect on the internal auditor performance. But simultaneously, the leadership style and locus of control influence the performance of internal auditor.

Simulation study of spatio-temporal correlations of earthquakes as a stick-slip frictional instability

Spatio-temporal correlations of earthquakes are studied numerically on the basis of the one-dimensional spring-block (Burridge-Knopoff) model. As large events approach, the frequency of smaller events gradually increases, while, just before the mainshock, it is dramatically suppressed in a close vicinity of the epicenter of the upcoming mainshock, a phenomenon closely resembling the ``Mogi doughnut'

Failure time and microcrack nucleation

The failure time of samples of heterogeneous materials (wood, fiberglass) is studied as a function of the applied stress. It is shown that in these materials the failure time is predicted with a good accuracy by a model of microcrack nucleation proposed by Pomeau. It is also shown that the crack growth process presents critical features when the failure time is approached.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Europhysics Letter

Development of geothermal field following the 2000 eruption of Usu volcano as revealed by ground temperature, resistivity and self-potential variations

The 2000 eruption of Usu volcano, NE Japan, took place on the foot of the somma, and formed a cryptodome of 65 m high accompanying numerous faults. We made repeated measurements of ground temperature, Self-Potential (SP) and electrical resistivity, in order to clarify the mechanism of development of the newly formed geothermal field on the fault zone. Prior to the expansion of the geothermal field, we detected a resistive zone at the center of the geothermal zone and it supposed to evidence that the zone involving dry steam phase had been formed beneath the fault zone. A rapid expansion of the geothermal field followed along the fault zone away from the craters. The place of maximum amplitude of the SP field also migrated following the expansion of the high ground temperature zone. The high resistive part has shrunk as a consequence of the progress of condensation to warm the surroundings. Based on the observations, we delineated the process of the hydrothermal circulation. Considering the topographic effect of the SP field observed on the highly permeable zone in the Usu somma, the potential flow along the slope of the soma was expected to play an important role to promote the rapid expansion of the geothermal field and the migration of the most active part

Electronic excitation of carbonyl sulphide (COS) by high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption and electron-impact spectroscopy in the energy region from 4 to 11 eV

The electronic state spectroscopy of carbonyl sulphide, COS, has been investigated using high resolution vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy in the energy range of 4.0–10.8 eV. The spectrum reveals several new features not previously reported in the literature. Vibronic structure has been observed, notably in the low energy absorption dipole forbidden band assigned to the (4π←3π) (1Δ←1Σ+) transition, with a new weak transition assigned to (1Σ−←1Σ+) reported here for the first time. The absolute optical oscillator strengths are determined for ground state to 1Σ+ and 1Π transitions. Based on our recent measurements of differential cross sections for the optically allowed (1Σ+ and 1Π) transitions of COS by electron impact, the optical oscillator strength f0 value and integral cross sections (ICSs) are derived by applying a generalized oscillator strength analysis. Subsequently, ICSs predicted by the scaling are confirmed down to 60 eV in the intermediate energy region. The measured absolute photoabsorption cross sections have been used to calculate the photolysis lifetime of carbonyl sulphide in the upper stratosphere (20–50 km)
