HIGH SCHOOL QUALITY AND STUDENT SATISFACTION OF SEMESTA BOARDING SCHOOL

In light of the imminent rise in tuition fees, High School funding cuts and fears of declining student numbers, gaining a sustainable competitive advantage in the higher education (Secondary Education ) sector is at the forefront of many high schools’ agendas. In what can be categorised as an extremely intangible service sector, one way that a High School can differentiate their service offering from the competition is through the provision of excellent service quality. This study investigates perceptions of service quality by Importance Performance Analysis method (IPA) at the Semesta Bilingual Boarding High School of Semarang Central Java, collecting viewpoints from 9, 10, 11 and 12 grade students from different academic year groups. This study provides High School (Secondary School) service management with a ‘snapshot’ of the current provision of service quality at the Semesta Bilingual Boarding School. It also offers suggestions that could be implemented to improve service quality, given the limited resources available to management. Due to the dynamic nature of service quality, it is essential to conduct further research to build on this study, in order to ensure that the Semesta High School remains competitive in what is an increasingly turbulent environmen

Using Image Processing Techniques to Increase Safety in Shooting Ranges

Accidents are a leading cause of deaths in armed forces. The Aim of this paper is to minimize the accidents caused using weapons in the armed forces. Developing artificial intelligence technologies aim to increase efficiency more and more wherever people exist. Giving guns to inexperienced, untrained, or unpredictable mentally unhealthy people in shooting ranges used for gun training can be risky and fatal. With the use of image processing technologies in these shooting ranges, it is aimed to minimize the risk of life-threatening accidents that may be caused by this people. Artificial intelligence is trained for the targets to be used in shooting ranges. When the camera of weapon sees these targets, it switches from safe mode to firing mode. When a risky situation occurs in shooting range, the gun turns itself into safe mode with various additional security measures.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, 2 table

A Fuzzy Rule Based Approach to Geographic Classification of Virgin Olive Oil Using T-Operators

Olive oil is an important agricultural food product. Especially, protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographic indications (PGI) are useful to protect the intellectual property rights of the consumers and producers. For this reason, the importance of the geographic classification increases to trace geographical indications. This chapter suggests a geographical classification system for the virgin olive oils. This system is formed on chemical parameters. These parameters include fuzziness. Novel proposed system constructs the rules by using fuzzy decision tree algorithm. It produces rules over fuzzy ID3 algorithm. It uses fuzzy entropy on the fuzzified data. The reasoning procedure depends on weighted rule-based system and is adapted into the fuzzy reasoning handled with different T-operators. Fuzzification is performed with fuzzy c-means algorithm for the olive oil data set. The cluster numbers of each variable are selected based on partition coefficient validity criteria. The model is examined by using different decision tree approaches (C4.5 and standard version fuzzy ID3 algorithm) and FID3 reasoning method with eight different T-operators. Also, the conclusions are supported by statistical analysis. Experimental results support that the weights have important manner on fuzzy reasoning method for the geographic classification system

Analysis of time series for Malaysian currency exchange rate to the United States currency

Currency exchange rate is one of the external factors that will affect the financial status of Malaysia. Therefore, forecasting the foreign currency exchange rate is important for the financial decision makers, bankers, academic researchers and business practitioners. Time series method is an important area of predicting future data based on the past data. In this study, Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Double Exponential Smoothing method and Holt-Winter additive method will be used to forecast the data of currency exchange rate of Malaysia Ringgit (RM) to United States of America Dollar (USD). The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) for ARIMA, Double Exponential Smoothing method and Holt-Winter additive method are 0.9400, 0.9035 and 2.2686 respectively. In conclusion, the model generated by using Double exponential Smoothing method is the best model to forecast the currency data with the lowest value of MAPE, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) compared to ARIMA method and Holt-Winter Additive method

Identification of Biological Risks While Manufacturing Food Products

Over the last 5 years, a growing trend in the number of cases of parasitosis has been observed in the territory of Khachmaz district, reaching 338 cases per year. Regular monitoring of information on biological risk factors in the production and processing of livestock products is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk situation based on the analysis of information on morphophysiological characteristics of causative agents of parasitic diseases. Being as peroral zoonoses, among biohelminthiasis, these are echinococcosis (hydatidose and alveolar) opisthorchis, trichinellosis and fasciolosis. Among geohelminthiasis, these are ascaridosis and trichocephalosis. Strongyloidosis belongs to geohelminthic anthroponoses with a percutaneous invasion way (the larva penetrates through the skin or mucous membranes during the contact with long-contaminated soil, water, aquatic plants). The group of contagious helminthioses, oral anthroponoses, includes hymenolepidosis and enterobiosis. This is an article on how pathogens negatively affect food

The Spreadıng of Pyroplasmosıs in Pigs

The article concerns determining the dynamics of infection with pyroplasmosis of animals kept in pig-breeding farms located in the Khachmaz district. As a result of the conducted surveys, the epizootological situation was studied based on positive results obtained during surveys to detect the spreading of parasitic blood diseases in the territory of the Khachmaz district. In the course of the conducted studies, the causative agent of piroplasmosis P.trautmani was studied for their pear-shaped, amoeboid, round, oval shape. Thus, the sizes of pear - shaped parasites are 2.4-2.9x1.3-1.7 microns in peripheral blood and 0.9-1.6x0.8-1.2 microns in internal organs; amoeboid parasites were not found in peripheral blood, and 1.3-1.7x1.1-1.3 microns in internal organs; the sizes of parasites round shape in peripheral blood 0.8-1.2x2.3-2.7 microns, in internal organs - 0.6-0.7x1.7-1.9 microns; as a result of microscopy, it was found that the sizes of oval-shaped parasites range from 1.1-2.8x0.6-1.9 microns in peripheral blood and 0.8-2.3x1.0-1.3 microns in internal organs. In the internal organs of animals infected with piroplasmosis, the parasites were oval, round, single pear-shaped and amoeboid. Reproduction of pyroplasmas occurs in the internal organs of pigs (liver, lungs, heart)
