Pembuatan E-Portfolio Guru Peserta Program Yayasan Trampil Indonesia

The development of education quaility in Indonesia can be done by improving the teachers\u27 quality. This development can be implemented through a certain regulation about teachers\u27 functional position and credit points\u27 system. Actually, this regulation is based on “Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor 35 Tahun 2010” which is talked about teachers\u27 functional position and the system of credit points. Yayasan Trampil Indonesia deeply supports that regulations by creating a functional training for teachers and having two supporting systems, namely e-admin and moodle.The difficult calculating system for credit points gives some problems to the teachers. That is why, teachers are not really focus in improving the education quality because they are too busy only in calculating the credit points. Therefore, we need a system to help the teachers in calculating the credit points.The system called e-portfolio. It will be connected with moodle and e-admin in order to calculate the credit points automatically. This connection uses the RESTfull web service. From the results of the questionnaire stated that this system help teachers to calculating the credit points. Indeed, this e-portfolio teachers can concentrate to improving the quality of education

Uncovering the Oppenheimer Siddur: using scientific analysis to reveal the production process of a medieval illuminated Hebrew manuscript

The aim of this research was to use non-invasive scientifc analysis to uncover evidence of the planning process and relationship between pigments used in text copying and artwork production in the Oppenheimer Siddur (Oxford Bodleian Library MS Opp. 776), an illuminated 15th-century Hebrew prayer book. In many medieval Hebrew illuminated manuscripts, the authorship of the artwork is unknown. This manuscript’s colophon states that it was copied by its scribe-owner for personal family use but does not confrm who was responsible for the artwork. Prior deductive analysis suggested that the scribe-owner may also have been the manuscript’s artist, based on common motifs and an apparent shared colour palette appearing in both texts and artwork. Visual examination using high resolution digital images also identifed points of contact between pigments used in the manuscript’s texts and artwork, raising questions about the pigment application sequence, and concurrent versus sequential text copying and artwork production. An in-house developed remote spectral imaging system (PRISMS) with 10 flters spanning the spectral range from 400 to 880 nm was modifed for close-range application to image two of the folios to examine the sequence of production, identify the pigments and compare the materials used for the illumination and the text. Optical microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy in the attenuated total refection mode (FTIR-ATR) were used directly on the folios to complement the spectral imaging data in binding media and pigment identifcation. The results revealed close matches in refectance spectra for the colorants and inks used in both text copying and illuminations, suggesting that the same mixture of colorants and inks have been used. The spectral imaging in the near infrared bands revealed a hidden underdrawing, indicating a design change during production of the manuscript, and the outlining of letters prior to coloured pigment being applied. The pigment use, the variation in the binder for diferent pigments and some elements of its production were found to be consistent with those described in historical sources. The evidence from this study supports the hypothesis that the scribe applied pigments for the manuscript’s artwork at the same time he did some of the scribal work which has implications for understandings of Jewish medieval visual cultures

Books in Arabic Script

The chapter approaches the book in Arabic script as the indispensable means for the transmission of knowledge across Eurasia and Africa, within cultures and across cultural boundaries, since the seventh century ad. The state of research can be divided into manuscript and print studies, but there is not yet a history of the book in Arabic script that captures its plurilinear development for over fourteen hundred years. The chapter explores the conceptual and practical challenges that impede the integration of the book in Arabic script into book history at large and includes an extensive reference list that reflects its diversity. The final published version was slightly updated, and includes seven illustrations of six Qurans from the holdings of Columbia University Libraries, four manuscripts and two printed versions. Moreover, the illustrations are images of historical artifacts which are in the public domain - despite Wiley's copyright claim

The level of safety culture beliefs and practices amongst Safety and Health Officers (SHOS) in Malaysian manufacturing companies

The objectives of this study are to identify the level of safety culture in terms of the perceptions of the beliefs on the importance at workplace (SCB) and the existing safety culture practice (ESCP), to find out the level of SCB, and to identify to what extend safety is being closely practiced (ESCP) amongst Safety and Health Officers (SHOs). A questionnaire was sent to 173 SHOs in Malaysian manufacturing companies and 146 questionnaires were successfully returned. 22 questions related to self-regulations, commitment, motivation and communication which were identified through literature. Each respondent needs to rate his or her level of understanding of SCB and ESCP. Mean score analysis was used to determine the level of understanding of SCB and ESCP. Subsequently the differences between the two components are shown in a radar graph. The details of the items in identifying the levels of SCB and ESCP were analyzed. The study found the level of SCB is between medium high to high. However, the result of the ESCP shows they were in the range of medium low and high medium level. It is important to identify the level of safety practice in which it will portray the current safety culture in Malaysia especially when it involves ergonomics. This is to make a good strategy to implement ergonomics to inculcate safety culture

Structural characterization of a new chalcone compound containing a thiophene moiety: (E)-3-(5-Bromothiophen-2-YL)-1- (2,5-Dichlorothiophen-3-YL)-2-Propen-1-One

The crystal structure of the new chalcone derivative (E)-3-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1-(2,5-dichlorothiophen- 3-yl)-2-propen-1-one is synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic IR, NMR, and HRMS techniques. Its crystal and molecular structure is determined from the single crystal X-ray diffraction study. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system and space group P21/n (N 19). The crystal packing is governed by C—H..O non-conventional hydrogen bond-type intermolecular interactions, forming extended zigzag chains related by 21 screw axes running along the [010] direction, with graph-set C(8). These hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilization of the crystal structure that packs with an efficiency of 71.4%

Analysis of compensation cost related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) against younger and older Malaysian manufacturing workers

This study analyzes compensation cost paid by the Social Security Organization of Malaysia (SOCSO) to the Malaysian manufacturing workers due to MSD related cases. The study compares MSD related cases based on three categories: cause of accident, type of injury and location of body injury against "older" workers and "younger" workers and gender differences. This study adopted top-down approach which utilized national statistics related to MSD claims data provided by SOCSO. The claim data is limited to MSD reported cases from 2009 to 2014. A total of 537 claims which related to MSD has been recorded in Malaysia within that period. The highest number of cases based on cause of accident is due to strenuous movement with average compensation cost at RM 28 400 (male younger workers) and RM 22 738 (male older workers). Besides, most of the claimants sustain MSD injury at the back body region. with average compensation cost of RM 28 117 (male younger workers) and RM 21 941 (male older workers). As for type of injury, sprains and strains recorded the highest number of cases with average compensation cost at RM 27 683 (male younger workers) and RM 23 875 (male older workers). This study will provide basis for future studies in MSD related injuries in working environment in Malaysia
