    Nowadays, students are expected to be able to write a research report to fulfill their final assignments. Hence, recognizing errors in order to improve students' ability in writing is considered important. Common causes of errors can be due to the influence of the first language or mother tongue (interlingual errors) or lack of mastering the target language (intralingual errors). The results of previous research show that the biggest cause of errors deals with the lack of studentsā€™ mastering in the target language. Therefore, this research focuses on analyzing intralingual errors made by the undergraduate students the fourth semester at Ahmad Dahlan University. This research was conducted qualitatively where the researcher acted as the main instrument. Writing tests and interviews were carried out to obtain the data from the undergraduate students from Ahmad Dahlan University, and their writing texts were being the subject of this research. The objects of the research are words, phrases, and sentences that indicate intralingual errors. The steps of data analysis begin with (1) collecting errors data made by students, (2) identifying errors (3) describing errors, (4) explaining errors (5) evaluating errors. These data were then analyzed by using Jamesā€™ intralingual errors theory. The results of this research showed that the highest percentage of intralingual errors was found in overgeneralization (41.00%), followed by overlooking co-occurrence restrictions (39.15%), exploiting redundancy (6.63%), misanalysis and incomplete rule applications which had similar result (4.81%), and the lowest percentage was found in false analogy and hypercorrection (1.80%). From the result of interviews with the students, it can be concluded that the internal factors are the main cause of students in making errors. In addition, it seems that the studentsā€™ motivation and learning habits affect their mastery of grammar and vocabulary in the target language. In short, this research is expected to be able to contribute to teachers in finding innovations and strategies in learning to write in order to minimize errors made by students. Expectantly, the students are able to write properly in English as well as pay more attention to their strategies and motivation in learning English

    The development of students' skills, especially in speaking, is considered important to get more attention because speaking skill is included as one of the productive skills that requires a lot of practice rather than only learning the theory. In mastering speaking skill, it is regarded necessary to not only understand what others are talking about but also to respond and communicate effectively with others. Thus, a maximum use of instructional media, especially YouTube, is considered necessary in enhancing the development of studentsā€™ speaking skill as a crucial capability to be possessed in the 21st century. The purpose of this study is mainly to describe YouTube's maximum use in terms of practice as well as disclose the benefits of using YouTube as a media learning

    Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) analyses have been conducted in Irrigation Paddy Scheme, Tanjong Karang, Malaysia as part of investigation on groundwater potential aquifer to provide an alternative water resource for paddy irrigation. Based on recent studies on groundwater resistivity in paddy field, irrigation system mentioned as soil moisture content was observed to affect the value of electrical resistivity and subsurface geological profile resulted from ERT analysis. The objective of this study was to proof any correlation between soil moisture content and electrical resistivity values and to determine at what level of soil moisture content which will be the best condition to conduct ERT survey. ERT analysis was conducted by using ABEM Terrameter SAS 4000 of Wenner-Schlumberger array with 5.0 meter and 10.0 meter for minimum and maximum electrode spacing. Visually, based on subsurface geological profile resulted from ERT analysis soil moisture content affected (changed) electrical resistivity values. With all different treatments of soil moisture ranged from 16.96% to 27.50%, electrical resistivity values decreased in certain points and in certain depth along with the increase of soil moisture content. This was proofed by ANOVA and Duncanā€™s multiple range tests showing that Pr > F value was less than 0.0001. Further on Chi-square test showed that at soil moisture level of 22.54%, it was the best condition which gave more correct counts of electrical resistivity values compared to well lithology. This was assumed to be the best condition to conduct ERT survey

    The Indonesian government through Health Regulations No. 36, 2009 article 115 stipulates the Non-Smoking Area policy, one of in a health facility is a hospital. Supporting the law, the Dairi District Government issued Local Regulation, No. 01, 2017 concerning Non-smoking Area on Januari 31, 2017. The purpose of this research was to analyze the implementation of Non-Smoking Area policies in Sidikalang General Hospital. This research is descriptive qualitative research. This research was conducted in Sidikalang General Hospital. The research informants consisted of key informants, main informants, additional informants. Data were analyzed by qualitative description. The results of the research show actors from the implementation of the Non-Smoking Area policy in Sidikalang Hospital, namely directors, management, visitors and patients health workers. Regarding the content that socialization has not been evenly distributed because it was delivered orally, inadequate insfrastructure, lack of employees, there were no strict sanctions. The implementation of Non-Smoking Area is not influenced by politics, but collides with the culture of the Dairi community. Whereas based on organization, lack of commitment and lack of budget. The implementation process does not run well because there is no commitment, lack of socialization, unavailability of budget. The Non-Smoking Area explanation was not evaluated to measure policy success/ failure. Compliance is very low. The audit did not run well because there were no written documents. The budget is a problem because of the lack of funds for health promotion, the addition of the amount of security, the preparing of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and Television (TV) in each room, constructing the wall at RSUDā€™s area. It is strongly recommended to Sidikalang General Hospital to re socialize the Dairi District Regentā€™s regional regulation on Non-Smoking Area policy, make a statement of commitment for health workers about smoking bans, submit a budget for construction of the wall around the hospital, increase the number of security personel, addition of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
