The multiple linear regression equation is Y = 11.321 + 0.418X1 + 0.307X2, meaning that when variable X1 is increased by 1 unit, variable Y increases by 0.418 units at a constant of 11.321, and when variable X2 is increased by 1 unit, variable Y increases by 0.307 units at a constant of 11.321. The coefficient of determination value of 46.8% indicates the contribution of communication and compensation to improving employee performance, while the remaining 46.8% is influenced by other factors. The F hypothesis test yields an F value > F table or (38.308 > 2.710). Thus, H03 is rejected and Ha3 is accepted, meaning there is a significant simultaneous influence of communication and compensation on employee performance. These findings can provide input for policies and practices aimed at improving employee performance at PT Jembo Cable Company Tbk.

What do consumers understand about predispute arbitration agreements? an empirical investigation.

The results of a survey of 1,071 adults in the United States reveal that most consumers do not pay attention to, let alone understand, arbitration clauses in their everyday lives. The vast majority of survey respondents (over 97%) report having opened an account with a company that requires disputes to be submitted to binding arbitration (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Cash App, a phone or cable company), yet most are unaware that they have, in fact, agreed to mandatory arbitration (also known as "forced arbitration"). Indeed, over 99% of respondents who think they have never entered into an arbitration agreement likely have done so. Over 92% of respondents report that they have never based a decision to use a product or service on whether the terms and conditions contain an arbitration agreement. When prompted, they largely endorse the following reasons: they were unaware of the arbitration clause, they did not read the terms and conditions, and they thought they had no choice but to agree to mandatory arbitration. Moreover, many respondents presume that if a dispute arises, they will still be able to access the public courts, notwithstanding that they agreed to the terms and conditions. Consumers are largely unaware of opportunities to opt out of mandatory arbitration. They generally do not pay attention to or retain information about the steps required to opt out successfully (e.g., contacting the company within a specified time period). Generally, consumers are unaware that companies like Cash App and Venmo (mobile payment systems utilized by nearly 60% of respondents) allow customers to opt out of mandatory arbitration if they act within a limited time period. Among the minority of respondents (21%) who stated that they had been given an opportunity to opt out, vanishingly few could name any of the steps required to opt out successfully. When presented with a run-of-the-mill contract, of the type consumers routinely encounter, most respondents did not take notice of the arbitration clause. Less than 5% of respondents could recall that the contract they were shown had said anything at all about arbitration. Furthermore, most consumers misperceive the consequences of signing a predispute arbitration agreement. Most mistakenly believe that, after agreeing to terms and conditions mandating binding arbitration, they can still choose to settle their dispute in court, have a jury decide their case, join a class action, and appeal a decision made based on a legal error. For instance, less than 5% of respondents correctly reported that they could neither appeal an erroneous decision to another arbitrator (or set of arbitrators) nor start all over again in court. Less than 1% of respondents correctly understood the full significance of the arbitration agreement, as indicated by their responses to questions about whether they retained the rights to sue, have a jury decide their case, access the public courts, and appeal a decision based on a legal error. In summary, consumers are generally unaware of arbitration clauses, and they tend to hold mistaken beliefs about how arbitration agreements affect consumers' procedural rights.

The Relationship between Job Fatigue and Fine Motor Skills in Cable Car Company’s Production Staff

Background and objective: Job fatigue is considered one of the factors affecting the performance and the productivity of workers in work environments. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between job fatigue and its dimensions with fine motor skills in the production line workers of Sabzevar Cable Car Company. Participants and methods: One hundred and forty-eight workers of the production line of Sabzevar Car Company were selected as a sample. The level of occupational fatigue of workers was measured using the standard questionnaire of Excessive Occupational Fatigue. In addition, manual and sorting skills of workers were estimated through Board test. In order to analyze the research data, Spearman's correlation coefficient test was used. Results: The results of the Spearman correlation coefficient test showed that there were negative and significant relationships between job fatigue and the components of hand and finger dexterity skill, including manual skills (r = 0.188, P ≤ 0.022) and sorting skill r (r = -0.246, P ≤ 0.003). Also, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the dimensions of fatigue and coping skills (P≤0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the present research study, we recommend that employers prevent the occurrence of worker fatigue in industrial environments through providing conditions such as shift breaks and performing short-term activities with low intensity. Otherwise, in order to prevent accidents and the production of defective products, tired workers should refrain from performing fine manual activities such as assembling.

Valuation of Indonesian Cable Company with Free Cash Flow to Firm and Relative Valuation

During 2014 - 2018, cable companies in Indonesia showed an 8.52% average annual revenue growth. Unfortunately, analysts are responding to this growth negatively. Hence, In this study, we will conduct a valuation of six cable companies in Indonesia that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). We evaluate using two methods, namely Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) to get the Intrinsic Value of shares, Relative Valuation using Price to Book Value ( PBV), and Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) to validate the intrinsic value. The valuation results consider three scenarios: optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic. In the optimistic scenario, the Intrinsic Value of JECC, KBLI, and VOKS shares are overvalued in all scenarios, while IKBI, KBLM, and SCCO are undervalued throughout the scenario. Validation using PBV for the optimistic scenario, all companies are considered overvalued. For the moderate scenario, the PBV of IKBI, KBLI, and VOKS are overvalued, while JECC, KBLM, and SCCO are undervalued. As for the pessimistic scenario, only the PBV of IKBI is overvalued. Validation using PER for the optimistic scenario, the PER of IKBI, JECC, KBLM, and SCCO are overvalued, while the PER of KBLI and VOKS are undervalued. For the moderate scenarios, the PER of IKBI and SCCO are overvalued, while the PER of JECC, KBLI, KBLM, and VOKS are undervalued. Whereas for the pessimistic scenario, only the PER of IKBI is overvalued, while JECC, KBLI, KBLM, SCCO, and VOKS are undervalued.

ARAS method based on Z‐numbers in FMEA

AbstractFailure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the risk assessment methods, and is widely applied to the various areas in real life. The method has two main phases. In the first phase, the potential failure modes of products, processes, systems, and services are determined, whereas in the second phase, the risk assessment and prioritization of these failure modes are made, and preventive and corrective actions are taken to prevent the emergence of failure modes with relatively higher risk. Although the method is widely used over the years, researchers have used FMEA together with different theories and methods to overcome several shortcomings of the method. In this study, a new method, Z‐ARAS (Additive Ratio ASsessment), is proposed on a risk analysis in FMEA to eliminate uncertainty information in decision‐making practice. This method is the modification of ARAS method by integrating with Z‐numbers. Z‐numbers are performed to reflect the reliability of decision makers’ evaluations. A real case covering a cable company's production failures that is adopted from the literature is solved to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. A sensitivity analysis is performed, and also a comparative analysis is presented with Z‐MARCOS (Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to the COmpromise Solution) and Z‐CODAS (COmbinative Distance‐based ASsessment) methods to highlight the effectiveness of Z‐ARAS method. It can be concluded that Z‐ARAS is an alternative method to detect and analyze critical failure modes, and assist decision makers in implementing a reliable preventive strategy.

INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF TWISTING METHODS MULTI-PAIR LAN CABLES ON THEIR ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTICS

The problem of electromagnetic compatibility of wired telecommunications is becoming more drastic every year. Effective protection of telecommunications equipment from external electromagnetic fields is becoming increasingly pertinent and largely determines the reliability and quality of telecommunications services provided by operator companies. In modern fixed broadband access networks, LAN cables are used in a massive way, circuits of which must have high noise immunity from both mutual and external electromagnetic influences. The theoretical aspects of determining the short-term electrical strength of a solid polyethylene insulation are considered, on the basis of which the conduct of some experimental studies of breakdown voltages on short cable segments and their recalculation using statistical methods for a given length are justified. The article contains the results of studying the electrical strength of multi-pair LAN cables of category 5e produced by Samara Cable Company JSC.

Speed Control of an Electrical Cable Extrusion Process Using Artificial Intelligence-Based Technique

Most cable manufacturing companies use Programmable Logic Controllers with conventional controllers to control line speed during cable extrusion. These traditional controllers have difficulties keeping the line speed constant, causing surface defects on the extruded cables and affecting the quality of the manufactured cables. To overcome these challenges, data on the causes of defects during cable manufacturing were collected from a cable manufacturing company in Ghana to ascertain the possible causes during cable manufacturing. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller was designed to provide a constant line speed during the cable extrusion process. To ascertain its robustness, the ANFIS controller was compared to a conventional Proportional Integral Derivative controller and a Fuzzy Logic controller. The controllers were designed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. The analysis of the collected data indicated that a break in insulation/ sheath was a frequently occurring defect during the cable manufacturing process due to improper line speed control of the machines used in the cable manufacturing process. Based on the results obtained from the various controllers, it was concluded that the ANFIS controller was robust in achieving stability regarding line speed variations.

Pirate and chill: The effect of netflix on illegal streaming

Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service, yet digital piracy remains prevalent and costs the U.S. economy an estimated $29.2 billion annually. This paper investigates the relationship between a movie's availability on Netflix, the largest video subscription service, and intent to illegally stream the movie. We leverage a contract dispute that caused Epix (a cable network company) to move all its movies from Netflix to Hulu, representing a substantial decrease in the legal streaming availability of these movies. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that reducing legal streaming access via the removal of Epix movies from Netflix results in a 20% increase in piracy intent relative to movies that remained on Netflix, as measured by Google search volume. This study contributes to the understanding of the substitution between legal streaming services and movie piracy and has implications for content owners deciding what platform to offer their movie on.

XYZ is a cable company of excellence in audio-video cable technology through research, production, and product development. PT. XYZ produces frequency cables, power cables, and low-voltage cables and its newest products are USB cables and CCTV cables. PT. XYZ is a company that uses a make-to-order strategy. To produce quality products with fast delivery, a production division is needed, where the division is in charge of designing the production process, and maintaining product quality in accordance with established quality standards. As a company with a high production capacity target, a good strategy and planning are needed to increase efficiency by reducing waste. Balancing the utility of each path can be done to reduce the waste of time that occurs. Based on observations of the NYM low voltage cable production process, there is still idle time at several work stations due to the production machine factor. It is often found that there are workstations that are idle while other stations are fully working. The results of the data were obtained and processed by comparing the two types of NYM products based on product performance measurements. The efficiency level of the 2×1.5 mm² NYM product with a length of 46,000 meters is more efficient than the NYM 3×1.5 mm² product with a length of 12,000 meters because the balance delay in the NYM 3×1.5 mm² product is longer. So the company needs to evaluate or reassess the balance of the NYM assembly line.
