Perancangan Aplikasi Pembelajaran Komputer dan Jaringan Dasar (Studi Kasus : Smk Negeri 6 Kota Jambi)

Dengan semakin cepatnya perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi membuat semua kegiatan menjadi lebih terbantukan dalam segi waktu dan biaya, baik dari segi bisnis maupun pendidikan. Dalam hal ini hampir sebagian aktivitas bisa diakses melalui telepon genggam (handphone). Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi dan informasi pada era modern ini, setiap informasi diharapkan mampu disajikan secara lebih praktis, misalnya dalam bentuk aplikasi dari berbagai platform, seperti Android.  Salah satunya penerapan android yang bisa diterapkan adalah dalam sistem pembelajaran. Berdasarkan observasi pada SMK Negeri 6 Kota Jambi hampir 70% siswa-i menggunakan telepon genggam (handphone) yang sistem operasinya android dan berdasarkan fungsional telepon genggam (handphone) rerata digunakan aplikasi sosial media, game, dan streaming, sehingga secara fungsionalnya dalam proses pembelajaran tidak maksimal. Dalam matapelajaran komputer dan jaringan dasar, siswa-i mempunyai beberapa kendala dalam proses belajar mengajar seperti tidak hadirnya guru atau siswa dan cakupan materi. Oleh sebab itu peneliti membantu para guru dan siswa merancang aplikasi pembelajaran matapelajaran komputer  dan jaringan dasar berbasi android pada SMK Negeri 6 Kota Jambi.  aplikasi pembelajaran matapelajaran komputer dan jaringan dasar berbasis Android menggunakan metode Waterfall dalam proses perancanganya. Sistem kerja aplikasi ini adalah hubungan dari setiap screen yang ada. Meskipun desainnya masih bersifat sederhana,namun pada dasarnya aplikasi ini diharapkan bisa membantu para siswa dan guru khususnya mata pelajaran komputer dan jaringan dasar pada SMK Negeri 6 Kota Jambi. &nbsp

Structural change in European calf markets: Policy decoupling and movement restrictions

We analyse weekly calf prices from 2003 to 2009 to assess the impact of two important events which changed the structure of European cattle markets. We find the four European calf markets studied to be integrated. The decoupling of farm payments in the framework of the 2003 reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy is found to reduce prices. We ascertain that the outbreak of the Blue Tongue disease induced a structural change in some of the markets. Using counterfactual scenarios, we provide an indication of the effects resulting from granting member states a high degree of discretion in implementation.2003 CAP reform, cattle market, decoupling, European Union, market integration, Agricultural and Food Policy, Farm Management, Land Economics/Use,

Spatial market integration in the EU beef and veal sector: policy decoupling and export bans

The 2003 reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy of the Euro-pean Union allowed for discretionary implementation among member states. Discretion was allowed with respect to the timing and the degree of decoupling of policy support. Differences among member states were particularly apparent in the European beef and veal sector. Using weekly data from 2003 to 2009, we assess the consequences of different national implementation strategies of the reforms on market integration for young calves, which are intensively traded in the European Union. Time series properties are analyzed with a range unit-root test after which a multivariate cointegration model is estimated. We find that the calf markets in Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain are integrated and tightly interrelated as evidenced by both short and long-run price transmis-sion. We also find strong statistical support for the hypothesis that decoupling reduced calf price levels. Additionally, we ascertain that the outbreak of the Blue Tongue disease induced a structural change in parts of the EU calf market. Using counterfactual scenarios, we provide an indication of the cost involved with granting member states such a high degree of discretion in implementation. We conclude that the national markets studied here belong to a common market. --2003 CAP reform,calf market,decoupling,EU,market integration,price transmission
