Possesive Pronounces In Maybrat: A Papuan Language

Since the independence time the Indonesian government has decided to make English as one of the compulsory subjects in schools. However, after learning it for six years in senior and high schools, students? English achievement especially in National Final Examination is still poor. This is due to various factors and one of them is the teachers? competence. The competence in fact comprises many aspects such as teachers? academic background, their level of language skill, their degree of language exposures, and still many others. Among those aspects, the ?attrition? of their English is never been touched. The current research tries to look at this phenomenon especially among those teachers who worked at remote areas. The main question to be answered is to what extend the teacher?s English shows the pattern of language attrition? Since the scope of the this kind of research is so wide, the recent study will only discuss the attrition of English in morphological level. This research is a cross-site case study and was carried out using a combination of longitudinal dan cross sectional design. Data elicitation is carried twice with a lapse of six months between each. The corpus is analyzed using T-unit in terms of number of words uttered, number of ?maze?, and number of morphological committed. The difference between the two data elicitations represents the level of language attrition. Kata

Public Git Archive: a Big Code dataset for all

The number of open source software projects has been growing exponentially. The major online software repository host, GitHub, has accumulated tens of millions of publicly available Git version-controlled repositories. Although the research potential enabled by the available open source code is clearly substantial, no significant large-scale open source code datasets exist. In this paper, we present the Public Git Archive -- dataset of 182,014 top-bookmarked Git repositories from GitHub. We describe the novel data retrieval pipeline to reproduce it. We also elaborate on the strategy for performing dataset updates and legal issues. The Public Git Archive occupies 3.0 TB on disk and is an order of magnitude larger than the current source code datasets. The dataset is made available through HTTP and provides the source code of the projects, the related metadata, and development history. The data retrieval pipeline employs an optimized worker queue model and an optimized archive format to efficiently store forked Git repositories, reducing the amount of data to download and persist. Public Git Archive aims to open a myriad of new opportunities for ``Big Code`` research

Implikasi Rotasi Audit, Premature Sign Off, Emotional Quotient Dan Tekanan Waktu Terhadap Kualitas Audit

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Audit Quality issued by BPK-RI with Audit Rotation, Premature Sign Off, Emotional Quotient, and Time Pressure variables. The object of this research is the Republic of Indonesia Supreme Audit Agency (BPK-RI). This study indicates that the external factor, namely Audit Rotation, has a significant positive effect on Audit Quality and Time Pressure has an insignificant positive effect on Audit Quality. Meanwhile, Emotional Quotient and Premature Sign Off, internal factors, have an insignificant negative effect on Audit Quality

Relationship Between Personal Protective Equipment Use and Contact Dermatitis in Palm Oil Pesticide Workers

Contact dermatitis is the most common occupation-related dermatological disease. Skin contact with chemicals that are irritants or allergens continuously cause vulnerability in workers. Among the chemicals that can cause contact dermatitis are pesticides, which are often used in the community, particularly by palm oil plantation companies. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is one risk control for contact dermatitis. This study aimed to determine the relationship between PPE usage and contact dermatitis among palm oil plantation workers who dispense pesticides. Using a cross-sectional research design and a total sampling technique, the study analysed data on contact dermatitis obtained from workers’ medical records and PPE usage through random observations for three days. The results showed that 62.2% of pesticide workers had experienced contact dermatitis within the past three months, and there was a significant relationship between insufficient PPE usage and contact dermatitis (p-value < 0.001). Therefore, the occurrence of contact dermatitis can be reduced by increasing PPE usage. Keywords: contact dermatitis, pesticide, personal protective equipment, palm oi
