Stratifikasi Sosial Dalam Pendidikan di Probolinggo Pada Era Kolonial Belanda

This study aims to explore social stratification in education during the Dutch colonial era in Probolinggo. Previous studies have shown that various educational policies implemented by the Dutch in Probolinggo were intended to prepare administrative and manual labor workers who would play an important role in building the economy. However, these policies have actually resulted in unfair social stratification in society. Although native education offered opportunities to obtain an education, these schools were established with a specific purpose: to meet the needs of manual labor workers for the benefit of Dutch capital. Native education mostly provided basic skills needed to work in specific sectors. This study was conducted using a historical approach consisting of heuristic, criticism, interpretation, and historiography stages. The results confirm that Dutch colonial education policies in Probolinggo not only produced manual labor workers but also strengthened the position of the Dutch East Indies government.Keywords: Social Stratification, Education, Probolinggo, Dutch Colonial

Efficiency of Islamic Banking Compared to Conventional Banking: Evidence from Indonesia Banking Sector

Abstract - Islamic banks today have rapid growth around the world. According to Solé (2007), Islamic banks exist not only in the countries that have a majority Muslim population, but also countries where Muslim are not predominant. From Indonesian Banking Statistics data in 2004-2013, Islamic banks have higher LDR than conventional banks. The main issue in this research is whether Islamic banks can maintain their efficiency while they increasing their performance. The hypothesis of this research is the efficiency of Islamic banking is higher and statistically significantly different from conventional banking. This research uses output-oriented VRS DEA model with asset approach to measure efficiency. Then, Mann-Whitney test used to compare the DEA results since the results show non-parametric data. Lastly, Spearman’s correlation will be applied in order to analyze the relationship between loans to deposit ratio with the efficiency of both types of the bank. The DEA and Mann-Whitney test results prove that Islamic banking is significantly different and more efficient than conventional banks in the period of 2004-2013. It proved by DEA results in 2005, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. In these years, Islamic banks are statistically significant more efficient than conventional banks. Then this result was supported by single-multi year efficiency that proved that Islamic banks are significantly different and more efficient than conventional banks. The Spearman’s correlation findings identifies there is significant correlation between LDR and efficiency of both types of bank at significance level 0.01. The Spearman’s correlation coefficient is 0.293, which means there is a weak relationship between LDR and efficiency of both types of the bank. This research’s results can be used as consideration for the government to assign Islamic banks to support real sector since Islamic banks allocate most of their fund to financing (lending) products. Furthermore, intermediary and production approach can be considered to apply in the future research to get better insight. The lack of explanation why Islamic banking is significantly different and more efficient than conventional banking can be a topic of the future research. Keywords: asset approach, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), efficiency, Islamic bank

The efficacy of coordinating role of the state ministry of cabinet affairs: a case study - Jonglei State, South Sudan

The research attempts to investigate the effectiveness of coordination in the State Ministry of Cabinet Affairs (SMCA), Jonglei State government, South Sudan. The objectives of the study were to identify coordination functions of the state Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, challenges and its role in promoting ethics and good governance in service delivery in Jonglei State. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected from a sample of twenty one respondents which included the State Deputy Governor, Directors of SMCA and Secretariat through questionnaires and interviews. This explored the functions; roles; and its organizational hierarchy which promotes ethical delivery of services and good governance. The study further discusses the levels of the implementation processes and the possible challenges facing SMCA. The results of the study reveal that the SMCA lacks qualified staff, unclear job descriptions and as a result it impinges on coordination and implementation of strategic plans and service delivery within the directorates. The study therefore recommends that for effective and efficient service delivery in promoting ethics and good governance, training of the human resource, recruitment of competent staff, clear job descriptions, regular performance appraisal and effective communication among others are paramount. The study further recommends that gender equality and equity should be addressed in order to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the community

DESAIN DAN IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE (ROV) PADA ROBOT iSRo

Umumnya robot Autonomous Multiplatform didesain untuk negara yang secara geografis rawan terhadap bencana gempa bumi dan tsunami, termasuk Indonesia. Ketika terjadi bencana alam, korban harus segera mendapat pertolongan dan perawatan untuk menghindari jumlah kematian yang lebih besar. Oleh karena itu robot yang dapat bergerak mencari dan menemukan letak korban dan dapat bermanuver diantara reruntuhan akibat bencana, sangat diperlukan untuk membantu tugas dari Tim SAR. Robot iSRo (intellegent search robot) adalah robot dengan desain mekanisme baru yang merupakan gabungan dari dua sistem mekanisme beroda dan berkaki. Sistem mekanisme ini akan meningkatkan kemampuan bermanuver dari robot di medan bencana yang sulit dijangkau oleh manusia. Robot memiliki dua sistem pengoperasian, yaitu dioperasikan secara manual melalui joystick dan secara autonomous. Sensor ultrasonik akan digunakan untuk mendeteksi halangan yang ada disekitar robot. Robot dilengkapi dengan kamera untuk navigasi dan mengetahui posisi keberadaan robot. Sistem Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) menggunakan Xbee Pro yang beroperasi pada frekuensi 2,4 GHz. Dengan daya jangkau 300 meter pada area terbuka. Setiap gerakan dari kontrol Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) akan disesuaikan dengan simulasi pada software Webots 5.10. Dengan memberikan kecerdasan berupa primitive behavior, pengujian mobilitas dan performa yang dilakukan oleh robot iSRo dapat menghindari beberapa rintangan seperti tanjakan, jalan berbatu, tanah, ruang sempit, dengan dioperasikan secara manual dan autonomous.
