Equating CONTROL with ‘containment’: justifying the equation via animal Farm

Unless they are expressed in more concrete manners, concepts, which are abstract in nature, are rather difficult to be appreciated. Thus, concepts such as CONTROL, are normally expressed using more concrete means, such as through the hierarchical and the front-back image schemas (Khazriyati 2002a & 2002b). Apart from the use of the word ‘control’ per se to manifest the concept, other metaphorical expressions such as in front of, behind and towards, are widely employed to realise the concept (ibid. & 2003). Though in terms of forms, those expressions are in no way similar to that of the word ‘control’, careful analysis via the cognitive semantics approach would enable one to be aware of the fact that the use of such expressions are not at all arbitrary in describing CONTROL. This paper looks at how the container image schema – one of the theoretical frameworks in cognitive semantics – is utilised to interpret the concept of CONTROL in Animal Farm

The Ability of Kindergarten Teacher to Use Information and Communication Technology

In the 21st century, teachers are required to have the characteristics of cooperation, creativity, critical thinking, and communication. This demand needs to be supported by the ability to use ICT (information and communication technology) for kindergarten teachers who play a role in educating and educating students well according to the times, but there are still teachers who do not understand and do not have ICT skills. This study aims to describe the ability of kindergarten teachers to use ICT. The method used is descriptive quantitative with data collection using surveys. The research subjects were 42 teachers who participated with incidental sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that as many as 26.2% of teachers can use ICT at a very high level. Furthermore, the results of the study were dominated by 38.1% of teachers having high ICT skills, followed by 31% of teachers having moderate ICT skills. However, there are still 4.8% of teachers who have low ability to use ICT.Pada abad 21 ini guru dituntut untuk memiliki karakteristik kerja sama, kreatif, berfikir kritis, dan komunikasi. Tuntutan ini perlu ditunjang oleh kemampuan menggunakan ICT (information and communication technology) pada guru Taman Kanak-Kanak yang berperan mendidik dan mencerdaskan anak didik secara baik sesuai perkembangan jaman, namun kenyataannya masih terdapat guru yang belum memahami dan belum memiliki kemampuan ICT. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan guru Taman Kanak-Kanak menggunakan ICT. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data menggunakan survei. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 42 guru yang berpartisipasi dengan teknik insidental sampling. Hasil dari penelitian ini diketahui bahwa sebanyak 26,2% guru memiliki kemampuan menggunakan ICT pada tingkat sangat tinggi. Selanjutnya hasil penelitian didominasi dengan 38,1% guru memiliki kemampuan menggunakan ICT yang tinggi, kemudian disusul dengan 31% guru memiliki kemampuan ICT dalam tingkatan sedang. Namun masih ada 4,8% guru memiliki kemampuan menggunakan ICT yang rendah.

Creating awareness of plagiarism among postgraduates in a postgraduate course through a talk

Submitting plagiarised works at the postgraduate level is not a manifestation of a positive researcher character; yet, such an academic crime appears to be common among students. Although the crime committed may either be intentional or unintentional, the need to prevent this from happening is necessary. Hence, to curb this problem, a minor change in the course structure was made to a postgraduate course in UKM. This change was in the form of introducing a talk on plagiarism in the course activities. The talk on plagiarism was presented to the students at the beginning of the semester to create awareness of the various forms of plagiarism, the implications of plagiarism, and ways of preventing it. This talk was followed by an investigation on the students’ understanding of the subject matter through their reflective diary entries. Results show that the talk has succeeded in getting the students to understand the forms of plagiarism and ways of preventing plagiarism

Influence of HALO and Source/Drain Implantation on Threshold Voltage in 45nm PMOS Device

In this paper, we investigate the influence of process parameters like HALO and Source/Drain (S/D) Implantation on threshold voltage in 45nm PMOS device. The settings of process parameters were determined by using Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the process parameters on threshold voltage was determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The virtual fabrication of the PMOS device was performed by using ATHENA module. While the electrical characterization of the device was implemented by using ATLAS module. These two modules were combined with Taguchi method to aid in design and optimizer the process parameters. Besides HALO and S/D implantation, the other two process parameters which used were oxide growth temperature and silicide anneal temperature. These process parameters were varied for 3 levels to perform 9 experiments. Threshold voltage (VTH) results were used as the evaluation variables. Then, the results were subjected to the Taguchi method to determine the optimal process parameters and to produce predicted values. The predicted values of the process parameters were verified successfully with ATHENA and ATLAS's simulator. In this research, halo implantation found to be the major factor affecting the threshold voltage (70%), whereas silicide anneal temperature was the second ranking factor (17%). As conclusions, halo implantation was identified as one of the process parameters that has the strongest effect on the response characteristics. While the S/D Implantation was identified as an adjustment factor to get the threshold voltage closer to the nominal value (-0.150V)

PENGARUH LABA BERSIH DAN KOMPONEN AKRUAL DALAM MEMPREDIKSI ARUS KAS OPERASI MASA DEPAN (Riset Pada Perusahaan Jasa Sub Sektor Property dan Real Estate Tahun 2012-2015)

Arus kas operasi merupakan bagian dari laporan arus kas yang wajib diterbitkan pada laporan keuangan tahunan suatu perusahaan. Laporan arus kas diperkirakan mampu menggambarkan keadaan suatu perusahaa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian empiris yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh laba bersih dan komponen akrual dalam memprediksi arus kas operasi masa depan pada perusahaan jasa sub sektor property dan real estate tahun 2012-2015. Data yang digunakan adalah laporan keuangan perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) tahun 2012-2015 yang dipublikasikan melalui www.idx.com. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 32 perusahaan property dan real estate yang dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Teknik analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah regresi linier berganda, dimana dilakukan uji asumsi klasik terlebih dahulu sebelum pengujian hipotesis. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel laba bersih berpengaruh sifnifikan dalam memprediksi arus kas operasi masa depan, sedangkan perubahan utang dan perubahan persediaan tidak berpengaruh signifikan dalam memprediksi arus kas operasi masa depan. Secara simultan semua variabel independen berpengaruh terhadap arus kas operasi masa depan. Nilai koefisien determinasi (Adj. R2) dalam penelitian ini sebesar 0,139 yang artinya variabel independen dalam menjelaskan variabel dependen sebesar 13,9%, sedangkan sisanya 86,1% dijelaskan variabel lain diluar penelitian ini
