However, the perceived usefulness is an intervening variable that can mediate the effect of system quality, the information quality, the top management support on the end-user information satisfaction

STR-913: NON-LINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF MODIFIED INFILLED STEEL AND CONCRETE FRAME SYSTEMS

To enhance the resiliency of framed structures under lateral loads, new infilled frame systems have been developed and evaluated using finite element method. The developed frame systems include haunches to reduce stress concentration at the frame’s corners under lateral in-plane loads thus improving the resistance of the infilled frame system. A previously developed and validated three dimensional finite element models based on the simplified micro-modelling technique were adopted in this study to investigate the behaviour of infilled steel and reinforced concrete frames under lateral in-plane loads. The investigated parameters include: the infill wall stiffness, the presence and size of haunches at the beam-column connections. The effect of infill wall stiffness was investigated by analysis of steel and concrete frames infilled with grouted infill walls, which were found to significantly improve the lateral strength and stiffness of the infilled frames. The effect of the size of the haunches on the lateral behaviour of infilled frames was investigated by adding 200 mm, 400 mm, and 600 mm equal-leg haunches at the frame’s beam-column connections. The lateral load resistance of infilled steel and reinforced concrete frames was found to increase by about 60% and 20%, respectively, when 600 mm equal-leg haunches were introduced. The Canadian standard for the design of masonry structures gave conservative estimates for the lateral cracking strength of the studied infilled frames. The accuracy of this standard was found to depend on the lateral stiffness of the bounding frames and the stiffness of the infill wall

PENGARUH ASIMILASI NARAPIDANA TERHADAP TINGKAT KERESAHAN MASYARAKAT

Saat ini terdapat kebijakan yangmana narapidana dengan kualifiikasi tertentu bisa mendapatkan program asimilasi dan reintegrasi. Hal ini berdasarkan kemanusiaan dan keadilan agar warga binaan yang ada di lingkungan Lapad maupun Rutan dapat terhindar dari covid-19 yang apabila tingkat kepadatan tinggi, maka akan semakin tinggi pula resiko penyebarannya. Namun, kebijakan ini menimbulkan keresahan ditengah masyarakat, karena dikhawatirkan narapidana yang menjalani asimilasi dan reintegrasi tersebut akan dengan mudah melakukan tindak pidana berulang akibat dari belum maksimalnya proses pembinaan bagi narapidana. Sehingga menyebabkan tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat menurun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis terkait pengaruh asimilasi dengan tingkat keresahan masyarakat yang dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif

Voluntary Disclosure, Financial Reporting Quality and Asymmetry Information

This study aims to test Voluntary Disclosure, Quality of Financial Reporting and Information Asymmetry as Moderation Variables. The Voluntary Disclosure variable is calculated using the Index Disclosure. This research uses quantitative methods and uses partial least square with EViews data analysis. The research sample consisted of 225 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange for the period 2016- 2018. The results of the study state that voluntary disclosure has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reporting through asymmetric information. The relationship between voluntary disclosure and asymmetric information has a negative effect on the quality of financial reporting, states that the disclosure of voluntary reports to companies can prevent information asymmetry, as well as the relationship of voluntary disclosure to information asymmetry states that companies that make voluntary disclosure will increase the interest of investors and other stakeholders. The quality of financial reporting states that if there is information asymmetry, the quality of financial reporting will also decline. The low value of relevance will affect the level of large or small information gaps between management and investors. The quality of financial reporting with increased relevance means that asymmetric information will have a negative impact on financial reporting
