Perancangan Dan Pembuatan Hybrid Mobile E-Learning Application Di Universitas Kristen Petra

Petra Christian University has been using e-learning in the teaching-learning process. However, the e-learning doesn't exist in the form of mobile application yet. This research is conducted to assist in the teaching-learning process at Petra Christian University by developing a model of mobile e-learning application that can run on cross-platform, which is on Android and BlackBerry platform.The application is created using PhoneGap that uses HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The system on the application follows Lentera e-learning system based on Moodle. On the server side, it takes a modified Moodle's source code based on PHP so the application can be run in accordance with the system.The result shows that the application can run on cross-platform. The application has a different interface from the website version. The application also runs online with the Lentera system. The basic features of Lentera have been successfully implemented on the application. Assessment of the application as a whole is 55.56% of respondents answered very good, while 44.44% of respondents answered good

Farm household risk balancing : implications for policy from an EU perspective

Purpose - Building on the risk balancing theory and on recent discussions the appropriateness of using farm income maximization as behavioural assumption, this paper extends the risk balancing framework by accounting for business-household interactions. The purpose of this paper is to theoretically introduce the concept of farm household risk balancing, a theoretical framework in which the farm household sets a constraint on the total household-level risk and balances farm-level and off-farm-level risk. Design/methodology/approach - The paper argues that the risk behaviour of farmers is better understood by considering risk at the household level. Using an analytical framework, equations are derived linking the farm activities, off-farm activities, consumption and business and private liquidity. Findings - The framework shows that a farm household that wants to minimize the risk that total household cash flow falls below consumption needs, may exhibit a wide variety of behavioural responses to changes in the policy and economic environment. Social implications - The framework suggests multiple ways for policy makers and individual farmers to support risk management. Originality/value - Risk management is at the core of the agricultural policy and it is of paramount importance to be able to understand behavioural responses to market and policy instruments. This paper contributes to that by suggesting that the focus of current risk analysis and management studies may be too narrowly focused at the farm level

On the rationale of resilience in the domain of safety: A literature review

Resilience is becoming a prevalent agenda in safety research and organisational practice. In this study we examine how the peer-reviewed safety science literature (a) formulates the rationale behind the study of resilience; (b) constructs resilience as a scientific object; and (c) constructs and locates the resilient subject. The results suggest that resilience engineering scholars typically motivate the need for their studies by referring to the inherent complexities of modern socio-technical systems; complexities that make these systems inherently risky. The object of resilience then becomes the capacity to adapt to such emerging risks in order to guarantee the success of the inherently risky system. In the material reviewed, the subject of resilience is typically the individual, either at the sharp end or at higher managerial levels. The individual is called-upon to adapt in the face of risk to secure the continuous performance of the system. Based on the results from how resilience has been introduced in safety sciences we raise three ethical questions for the field to address: (1) should resilience be seen as people thriving despite of, or because of, risk?; (2) should resilience theory form a basis for moral judgement?; and finally (3) how much should resilience be approached as a trait of the individual

KECEMASAN MAHASISWA DI MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

ABSTRACT There have been many changes after the Covid-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. Universities has also changed. Various changes create uncertainty. This uncertainty has an impact on student anxiety. Several previous studies have shown that anxiety is related to student academic achievement. When student academic achievement becomes one of the benchmarks for higher education success, student anxiety becomes a matter of concern. It is important to look at student anxiety during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to see a picture of the student's anxiety level and identify the things that cause anxiety in students. The results showed that hypothetically 74.8% of students had low anxiety, 20.7% of students had moderate anxiety, and 4.5% of students had high anxiety. Empirically most of the research subjects had moderate anxiety; the percentage of students who have high anxiety is greater than those who have low anxiety. Other results show that online lectures and friendship are two things that cause the most anxiety.   Keyword: anxiety, student, Covid-19 pandemic       ABSTRAK Banyak terjadi perubahan setelah pandemi Covid-19 melanda Indonesia. Dunia pendidikan, khususnya perguruan tinggi juga mengalami perubahan. Pelbagai perubahan memunculkan ketidakpastian. Ketidakpastian ini akan berdampak pada kecemasan mahasiswa. Beberapa penelitian sebelumnya telah menunjukkan bahwa kecemasan terkait dengan prestasi akademik mahasiswa. Saat prestasi akademik mahasiswa menjadi salah satu tolok ukur keberhasilan perguruan tinggi, kecemasan mahasiswa menjadi hal yang perlu diperhatikan. Penting untuk melihat kecemasan mahasiswa selama pandemi Covid-19. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat gambaran tingkat kecemasan mahasiswa dan mengidentifikasi hal – hal yang menimbulkan kecemasan pada mahasiswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara hipotetik 74,8% mahasiswa mengalami kecemasan rendah, 20,7% mahasisa memiliki kecemasan sedang, dan 4,5% mahasiswa memiliki kecemasan yang tinggi. Secara empirik sebagian besar subjek penlitian memiliki kecemasan sedang; persentase mahasiswa yang memiliki kecemasan tinggi lebih besar daripada yang memiliki kecemasan rendah. Hasil lain menunjukkan kuliah daring (online) dan relasi pertemanan adalah dua hal yang paling sering ditulis mahasiswa menimbulkan kecemasan.   Kata Kunci: kecemasan, mahasiswa, pandemi Covid-1
