Analyzing the Students’ Errors in Writing Procedure Text

Abstract The aims of this research include: (1) to identify the types of errors made by 12th grade of the students SMKN 2 Gowa in writing procedure text, (2) to find out the source of error, (3) to provide suggestions to avoid or reduce errors. This research used descriptive qualitative method. The instrument used in collecting the data were writing test and interview. The population of this research was the 12th grade of the students SMAN 2 Gowa culinary art major. The subject was population which consisted of 43 students. In analyzing the data, the researcher found that the students’ errors in writing a procedure text. The types of errors discovered, namely verb tenses, sentence structure, connector, passive construction, subject-verb agreement, word order, articles, diction, mechanics, and unclear idea. The sources of errors include Inter-lingual, Intra-lingual transfer, context learning, and communicative strategy. The suggestions to discover the errors in writing procedure texts were about method of teaching, material, and motivation

Resolution, Relief, And Resignation:A Qualitative Study Of Responses To Misfit At Work

Research has portrayed person–environment (PE) fit as a pleasant condition resulting from people being attracted to and selected into compatible work environments; yet, our study reveals that creating and maintaining a sense of fit frequently involves an effortful, dynamic set of strategies. We used a two-phase, qualitative design to allow employees to report how they become aware of and experience misfit, and what they do in response. To address these questions, we conducted interviews with 81 individuals sampled from diverse industries and occupations. Through their descriptions, we identified three broad responses to the experience of misfit: resolution, relief, and resignation. Within these approaches, we identified distinct strategies for responding to misfit. We present a model of how participants used these strategies, often in combination, and develop propositions regarding their effectiveness at reducing strain associated with misfit. These results expand PE fit theory by providing new insight into how individuals experience and react to misfit—portraying them as active, motivated creators of their own fit experience at work

Mutual trust between leader and subordinate and employee outcomes

Stable and enduring cooperative relationships among people are primarily based on mutual trust. However, little evidence exists about the effects of mutual trust between supervisor and subordinate on work outcomes. To understand better the dynamics of trust in supervisor–subordinate relationships, we examined how mutual trust between supervisor and subordinate is associated with work outcomes. Based on a sample of 247 subordinate–supervisor pairs, multilevel analyses revealed a positive effect of perceived mutual trust on task performance and interpersonal facilitation after controlling for trust in leader and felt trust. In addition, task performance and interpersonal facilitation increased as trust in leader and felt trust or trust in subordinate both increased

Using Light to Improve Commercial Value

The plasticity of plant morphology has evolved to maximize reproductive fitness in response to prevailing environmental conditions. Leaf architecture elaborates to maximize light harvesting, while the transition to flowering can either be accelerated or delayed to improve an individual's fitness. One of the most important environmental signals is light, with plants using light for both photosynthesis and as an environmental signal. Plants perceive different wavelengths of light using distinct photoreceptors. Recent advances in LED technology now enable light quality to be manipulated at a commercial scale, and as such opportunities now exist to take advantage of plants' developmental plasticity to enhance crop yield and quality through precise manipulation of a crops' lighting regime. This review will discuss how plants perceive and respond to light, and consider how these specific signaling pathways can be manipulated to improve crop yield and quality

Isolation in Globalizing Academic Fields: A Collaborative Autoethnography of Early Career Researchers

This study examines academic isolation – an involuntary perceived separation from the academic field to which one aspires to belong, associated with a perceived lack of agency in terms of one’s engagement with the field – as a key challenge for researchers in increasingly globalized academic careers. While prior research describes early career researchers’ isolation in their institutions, we theorize early career researchers’ isolation in their academic fields and reveal how they attempt to mitigate isolation to improve their career prospects. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, we generate and analyze a dataset focused on the experiences of ten early career researchers in a globalizing business academic field known as Consumer Culture Theory. We identify bricolage practices, polycentric governance practices, and integration mechanisms that work to enhance early career researchers’ perceptions of agency and consequently mitigate their academic isolation. Our findings extend discussions on isolation and its role in new academic careers. Early career researchers, in particular, can benefit from a deeper understanding of practices that can enable them to mitigate isolation and reclaim agency as they engage with global academic fields

A Novel Preweld Laser Surface Treatment for Enhanced Intergranular Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Stainless Steel Weldments

This paper describes the development of a new prewelding laser surface melting treatment scheme to Suppress sensitization in the heat-affected zone of gas tungsten arc weldment of Type 304 stainless steel. The results of the present study, performed on 6-mm-thick medium-carbon (0.044 wt-%) and 10-mm-thick high-carbon (0.1 wt-%) Type 304 stainless steel sheets, established that surface modification engineered by CO(2) laser treatment is highly effective in suppressing heat-affected zone sensitization during subsequent gas tungsten arc welding. Laser surface treated heat-affected zone of gas tungsten are weldment exhibited a significantly lower degree of sensitization and susceptibility to intergranular corrosion than those of untreated heat-affected zone. This is attributed to higher fraction of Sigma 1 subgrain boundaries introduced by laser-assisted melting and resolidification
