Four Basic Skills Proficiency Based on Students' Perception in Hospitality & Tourism Study Program, Bunda Mulia University

Wide open employment in the tourism industry leads to the urgent needs for ready to work manpower. In the tourism industry, the readiness of the workforce in addition to the operational skills of the work is the ability of foreign language that is widely used globally in the world, in this case is English. Tourism education institutions as tourism human resources factories not only must prepare operational skills, but also English skills which is important to avoid complaints from graduates’ saying that educational institutions do not provide sufficient English supplies. In order to provide sufficient English supplies, student’s English proficiency should be known at this time along with the reason, to know what can improve student’s spirit of learning, because English for Tourism Purposes (ETP) can not be measured only by tests such as TOEFL / TOEFL / IELTS. The results of this study is expected to be a improvement material to improve the quality of every tourism student’s English in order to prepare graduates who are ready to work in a Global environment.Keywords: English for Tourism Purposes, Proficiency, Four Basic Skill

Pengetahuan Wisatawan Mancanegara atas Kehadiran Patung Garuda Wisnu Kencana sebagai Ikon Pariwisata Indonesia

In 2018, Indonesia has a new tourism icon, namely Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, which located in Bali, the most famous tourist destination in Indonesia. The presence of this tourism icon is certainly expected to support increasing numbers of tourists to Bali and Indonesia, especially for foreign tourists. One year has passed but there still no tourism improvement from the presence of this tourism icon, there are no major activities that can invite tourists to visit and there is no research on this tourism icon. Therefore, descriptive research was conducted by distributing questionnaires through online media to foreign tourists from five continents in the world to find out whether foreign tourists knew about the presence of the Indonesian tourism icon Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue. The results of this study show that 87.5% of respondents from 28 countries in various parts of the world did not know about the presence of this new tourism icon, and of course, there was no significant impact resulting from the tourism icon. The low level of knowledge of the presence of tourism icons surely related to the marketing method both carried out by the local tourism government and the central tourism government. Discussion of marketing methods certainly requires further complete research but the results of questionnaires show that according to respondents one of the best marketing media to promote a new tourism icon is social media and the internet/website.

Output Price and Markup Dispersion in Micro Data: The Roles of Producer Heterogeneity and Noise

This paper provides empirical evidence on the extent of producer heterogeneity in the output market by analyzing output price and price-marginal cost markups at the plant level for thirteen homogenous manufactured goods. It relies on micro data from the U.S. Census of Manufactures over the 1963-1987 period. The amount of price heterogeneity varies substantially across products. Over time, plant transition patterns indicate more persistence in the pricing of individual plants than would be generated by purely random movements. High-price and low-price plants remain in the same part of the price distribution with high frequency, suggesting that underlying time-invariant structural factors contribute to the price dispersion. For all but two products, large producers have lower output prices. Marginal cost and the markups are estimated for each plant. The markup remains unchanged or increases with plant size for all but four of the products and declining marginal costs play an important role in generating this pattern. The lower production costs for large producers are, at least partially, passed on to purchasers as lower output prices. Plants with the highest and lowest markups tend to remain so over time, although overall the persistence in markups is less than for output price, suggesting a larger role for idiosyncratic shocks in generating markup variation.

PENGARUH LOCUS OF CONTROL TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN EKONOMI DENGAN PERHATIAN ORANG TUA SEBAGAI VARIABEL MODERATOR (Survei Pada Siswa Kelas XI IPS SMA Negeri di Wilayah 2 Kabupaten Bandung)

Exploration of Kejawen in "Visit Central Java" version of KukuBima Ener-G advertisement

Developments in the era of globalization are in the world's spotlight, not only on differences in mindset but also on many aspects. One of them is the impact on the existence of culture in Indonesia. This fact drives companies in Indonesia to reintroduce Indonesian culture through advertising. An example is the Visit Central Java version of the KukuBima Ener-G advertisement explored in this study, intending to take an essential role in contributing to presenting local content that specifically raises the cultural side of Central Java. This study also aims at seeing the cultural values embedded in Javanese society, namely the Kejawen, which is implied in the KukuBima Ener-G advertisement. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach and data collection techniques using John Fiske's Semiotics Method to analyze more deeply the content of advertisements based on the Social Code Theory initiated by Edward T. Hall. This study explores deeper in terms of the strategy of cultural visual but still displays the brand image. The results of this study lead to the emergence of a number of Kejawen from the aspect of Low Context Culture and High Context Culture in each advertising scene

Open filters and measurable cardinals

In this paper we show that the existence of a space $X$ which possesses a free $\omega_1$-complete open ultrafilter is equivalent to the existence of a measurable cardinal. This result gives an answer to an old question of Liu. Also, we investigate the poset $\mathbf{OF}(X)$ of free open filters on a space $X$. In particular, we characterize spaces for which $\mathbf{OF}(X)$ is a lattice. For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$ we construct a scattered space $X$ such that $\mathbf{OF}(X)$ is order isomorphic to the $n$-element chain, which implies the affirmative answer to two questions of Mooney. Assuming CH we constructed a scattered space $X$ such that $\mathbf{OF}(X)$ is order isomorphic to $(\omega+1,\geq)$. To prove the latter fact we introduced and investigated a new stratification of ultrafilters which depends on scattered subspaces of $\beta(\omega)$. We show that for each cardinal $\kappa$ there exists a space $X$ which possesses exactly $\kappa$-many free open filters. Assuming the existence of $n$ measurable cardinals, for every $m_0,\ldots,m_{n}\in\mathbb N$ we construct a space $X$ such that $\mathbf{OF}(X)$ is isomorphic to the direct product $\prod_{i=0}^nm_i$

Micro and nanoscale microscopy and image processing

Proučavanje dvodimenzijskih materijala relativno je novo područje za koje se zanimanje naglo povećalo otkrićem grafena 2004. godine. Ubrzo je otkriveno i mnoštvo drugih dvodimenzijskih materijala, kao što su dihalkogenidi prijelaznih metala. Ovakvi materijali imaju svojstva koja su bitno drugačija, a često i zanimljivija od njihovih odgovarajućih trodimenzijskih alotropa. Zahvaljujući tim svojstvima, ti materijali pokazuju dobar potencijal za primjenu u elektronici i srodnim područjima. Da bi se omogućila primjena i značajnija proizvodnja uređaja načinjenih od dvodimenzijskih materijala, potrebno je poboljšati načine za njihovu sintezu i povećati kontrolu defekata i kvalitete materijala prilikom sinteze. U ovom radu, posebno se fokusiramo na dva najčešće proučavana materijala: grafen i MoS2, te prikazujemo njihova bitna svojstva i primjene. Prikazujemo sinteze metodom kemijskog naparavanja iz plinovite faze, koja pokazuje puno potencijala za kvalitetan rast dvodimenzijskih materijala, gdje je grafen rastao na bakrenom supstratu, a MoS2 na supstratu SiO2/Si. Kako bi se bolje modelirao rast, potrebno je razaznati rast uzoraka s defektima i nepravilnim oblicima; te imati dobre metode za analizu i procjenu kvalitete sintetiziranih uzorka. Optička mikroskopija pokazuje se kao brza i moćna inicijalna metoda za prikupljanje podataka o sintetiziranim uzorcima. Da bismo iz tih podataka izvukli korisne informacije, želimo također razviti statističke metode njihove obrade. U ovom radu razvijamo dvije metode, prilagođene iz područja dubinskog i strojnog učenja, za analizu slika dobivenih optičkim mikroskopom. Prva metoda pripada klasi dubokih nenadziranih autoenkodera. Ovom metodom dobivamo informacije o obliku grafenskih monokristalnih zrna direktno iz slika dobivenih optičkim mikroskopom. Druga metoda također je duboka neuralna mreža, ali bazirana na UNet arhitekturi. Ova neuralna mreža je uspješno istrenirana da na slici razaznaje i odvaja područja MoS2 od supstrata s visokom točnošću. Pokazali smo kako ovom metodom računalo može pratiti promjenu bitnih parametara u vremenu, kao što su veličina pojedinih zrna te njihov opseg. Svi uzorci korišteni u ovom radu sintetizirani su na Institutu za fiziku u Zagrebu. MoS2 je sniman optičkim mikroskopom prilikom rasta, dok su uzorci grafena snimani nakon završetka sinteze.The study of two-dimensional materials is a relatively new field of interest, which became rapidly popular with the discovery of graphene in 2004. Soon thereafter, a large number of other two-dimensional materials have been discovered, such as transition metal dichalcogenides. The properties of such materials are significantly different, as well as typically more interesting compared to their respective three-dimensional allotropes. Owing to such properties, these materials hold a good potential to be utilized in the field of electronics and similar areas. To enable the use and manufacturing of devices made of two-dimensional materials, it is necessary to improve their synthesis methods, as well as increase the control of defects and quality of materials during synthesis. In this work, we particularly focus on the two of the most commonly studied materials: graphene and MoS2, and we show their main properties and applications. We present the syntheses through the method of chemical vapor deposition, which shows a great potential for the quality growth of two-dimensional materials. Here, the graphene was grown on the copper foil, while the MoS2 was grown on the SiO2/Si substrate. To obtain a better growth model, it is necessary to utilize adequate methods for the analysis and assessment of quality of synthesized samples. Optical microscopy has proven to be an efficient and powerful initial tool for data collection. However, we need to develop statistical methods to process the collected data with the aim of further extracting useful information about the synthesized samples. In this work, we present and develop two methods for the analysis of images obtained from the optical microscope, both adapted from the field of deep and machine learning. The first method belongs to the class of deep unsupervised autoencoders. Using this approach, we obtain the information about the shape of the single grain graphenes by analysing the images obtained from the optical microscope directly. The second method is, likewise, a deep neural network, but based on the UNet architecture. This neural network has been successfully trained to detect and segment the areas of MoS2 from the substrate on the collected images with high accuracy. We show that with this method, the computer can efficiently track the changes of important parameters in time, such as the size of single grains and their circumference. All samples used throughout this work have been synthesized at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb. MoS2 has been recorded with the optical microscope during its growth, while the samples of graphene have been collected after the synthesis completion
