Knowledge Sharing Pustakawan Melalui Teknologi Cloud Storage di Perpustakaan

Pustakawan sangat dibutuhkan pemustaka dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan informasi baik yang dimiliki maupun tidak dimiliki perpustakaan melalui Jasa Penelusuran Informasi. Jumlah permintaan informasi terus meningkat sebagai dampak banyaknya kebutuhan informasi pemustaka dan sumber informasi, sementara pemustaka membutuhkan informasi dan tidak semua tersedia secara bebas. Dampak permasalahan yang timbul terkait dengan hasil penelusuran informasi adalah mengenai pengelolaan dokumen yang diperoleh. Selama ini hanya tersimpan di komputer kerja pustakawan, hal ini menjadi kendala, ketika makin banyak hasil penelusuran informasi yang harus disimpan,sehingga perlu media penyimpanan alternatif yang memungkinkan hasil penelusuran informasi terkumpul dalam satu tempat dan dapat diakses dari mana dan kapan saja tanpa dibatasi tempat dan waktu. Melalui pemanfaatan media penyimpanan awan (Cloud Storage), pustakawan dapat melakukan pengelolaan dokumen hasil penelusuran informasi (document management), berbagi pengetahuan (knowledge sharing), pengiriman dokumen (document delivery) serta sistem temu kembali (retrieval system). Peran pustakawan dalam berbagi pengetahuan di perpustakaan dapat meningkatkan kualitas kinerja sebagai profesional informasi serta dapat mengoptimalkan fungsi perpustakaan sebagai pusat sumber belajar untuk mewujudkan belajar sepanjang hayat

A Study on the Ability of Supra-Segmental and Segmental Aspects in English Pronunciation

This study attempted to examine the EFL students’ Basic English Pronunciation (BEP) at the first semester of the English study program, the State University of Timor. It was aimed at finding out the mastery of the students’ ability towards the Basic English Pronunciation (BEP), to what extent do the students still find difficulties to pronounce the basic English words, and to what level do the students' mastery level of pronunciation categorized? The method applied in this research was a descriptive quantitative method that employed the syntax of mathematical operation to investigate the properties of data collection (Walliman, 2005). The instrument was a list of 24 numbers of groups of Voice Consonants and Unvoiced Consonants of Basic English Pronunciation taken from “Improve Your English Pronunciation and Learn over 500 Commonly Mispronounced Words”, meanwhile, 26 students were chosen from the freshmen students of English Study Program (ESP) to be the subject of this present study. The result showed that the students’ ability in pronouncing the Basic English words was fair. Particularly, the students mostly had the ‘Enough’ level of ability at the four elements of supra-segmental as such: stress, intonation, voice quality and gesture. Specifically, at this ‘Enough level’, there were 16 students (61.5%) of ‘Stress’ element, 17 students (65.3%) of ‘Intonation’ element, 13 students (50.0%) of ‘Voice Quality’ and ‘Gestures’ as part of Segmental element was 16 students (61.5%). Meanwhile, at the ‘Rhythm’ element, most students (53.8% = 14 students) showed the ‘Less’ ability in this element and only 12 (46.1%) categorized at the level of ‘Enough’’. Otherwise, there were no students in the ‘Bad’ level category. However, few students still encountered difficulties in Segmental element (Voice Quality) and Supra-segmental parts such as words’ stressing, intonation, rhythm, and gestures respectively

DECISION SUPPORT WITHIN KNOWLEDGE-BASED ENGINEERING – A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE-BASED CONCEPT

Essential characteristics of products are set during early phases of product development as well as manufacturing. During these processes, decisions are made without awareness of their final impacts on long term key success factors. Industrial businesses lack concepts that enable decision-makers within knowledge based engineering processes, to anticipate possible impacts of their decisions. Due to this, many industrial companies employ so called knowledge engineers to manually gather and analyze information of product lifecycles. In order to improve the decision support within knowledge based engineering, a concept was developed, which contains the extension of business intelligence environments with product-orientated data warehouses. It is thus possible to combine technical information of product features with the traditional dimensions of managerial analysis in order to identify impacts of decisions on the product lifecycle and hence support knowledge engineers in their daily work

A CHANGEABILITY APPROACH FOR PROCESS MANAGEMENT AND DECISION SUPPORT ON THE SHOP FLOOR

This document contains an approach to map the changeability possibilities of machine tools used on the shop floor onto line management understandable business processes. The identified gap is a lack of information transparency on the line management level due to constraints, complexity and speed of a production process on the shop floor. Especially medium-sized enterprises in the supplier sector are forced to operate under strong time restrictions which are predetermined by original equipment manufacturers. Due to competitors and shareholders these enterprises often use a lean management approach which allows them on the one hand to produce under low costs but on the other hand handicaps them to react on disruptive events on the shop floor. We argue that nowadays industrial small and medium sized industrial enterprises have to have a fast reaction on changes and events. It is seen by the authors that changeability of production processes is an essential success factor in this globalized world. Because of the fact that more and more responsibility is handed over to the lower line management, the information support has to be improved in order to make them capable for choosing the best decision. In this paper a concept is shown how the lower management can reallocate production process steps in order to avoid penalty costs if a just in time production is requested by an original equipment manufacturer. To be able to do this, an information support concept for the lower management has to be established within the company to meet the requirements for choosing the best fitting reaction to a disruptive event. The future research concept is described after the analysis of an example production process scenario which is illustrated within this paper

A System Dynamics Model of Bitcoin: Mining as an Efficient Market and the Possibility of ‘Peak Hash’

The mining of bitcoin is modeled using a system dynamics model that represents both the mechanism of coin creation and the adjustment of the network hash rate based on the economic incentive of mining. The results show that the past evolution of the network hash rate can be explained, to a large extent, by an efficient market hypothesis applied to the mining of blocks. The possibility of a decreasing trend in the network hash rate from the halving event of May 2020 is exposed, implying that the network may be close to ’peak hash’ if the price of bitcoin and the revenues from transaction fees will be insufficient to cover the operational expenditures of mining

A Study on the EFL Learners’ Ability in Taking TOEFL Listening Test

The recent study aims at investigating how far the ESP learners’ ability and the strategies they employed in mastering the Listening Comprehensions skills of the TOEFL test. The descriptive research design focused on content analysis was applied to gather the data taken by 25 students as participants of the study. In order to see the learners’ ability in Listening Comprehension (LC) skills, the 50 questions of Listening Comprehension Test were given through the Pre-Test and Post-Test during one semester course from the Longman Introductory Course For The TOEFL Test (Green Book) by Debora Philips (2004). The observation and the test were the instruments in obtaining the data needed. The data was then analyzed based on the 3 (three) major skills in Listening Comprehension part A, B, and C covered 12 sub-skills or the strategies applied. The result of the ESP learners’ ability in Listening Comprehension (LC) was moderately revealed and they were in the level of ‘Low Intermediate’ level in general. However, there was still few students had not improved yet. Moreover, in Part B (skill 7 – 9) gained the highest scores percentage among two other skills, followed by skill 10 – 12 in Part C Long Talks. Meanwhile, Part A (skill 1 – 6) achieved the lowest scores’ percentage in implementing the strategies, specifically in the skill of 4, 2 and 1 (Passives, Negatives, and Restatements) in sequent. Thus, it is suggested that students need to do more exercises on TOEFL Listening Part A suggested strategies by Philips (2004). Moreover, with the advanced of technology, learners can improve their English Listening skills by accessing the free online TOEFL courses from experts in the internet besides doing more drillings on YouTube channels and Podcasts
