SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN UNTUK MENENTUKAN LOKASI PENDIRIAN HOTEL BARU BERBASIS ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) DI KABUPATEN KULON PROGO

Decision Support Systems or Decision Support Systems (DSS) are defined as interactive computer-based systems, which help decision makers to use data and models to solve unstructured problems. Decision Support Systems are interactive computer systems that can provide alternative solutions for decision makers, so decisions can be made more quickly and accurately.
 In an effort to speed up the decision-making process and avoid the subjectivity of the resulting decisions a decision support system is needed that aims to assist job management as decision makers in deciding the right location to establish new hotels through the selection process using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model.
 This system is expected to assist management in comparing value criteria, applying pairwise comparison matrices to get the weight of each criterion both local and global criteria. The AHP method is chosen because this method can carry out multi-objective measurements and several criteria, according to the requirements in the decision for the establishment of new hotels that rely on criteria.

Managerial extraversion and corporate voluntary disclosure

AbstractThis article examines the effect of managers' personality trait of extraversion on the voluntary disclosure of their firms. Our results from analyzing archival data from Sweden show that the extraversion scores of CEOs and CFOs obtained from psychological tests are positively associated with the voluntary disclosure scores of their firms. The effect of managerial extraversion on disclosure is, moreover, stronger when managerial discretion or managerial job demands are higher. We also find that extraversion affects managers' disclosure styles during earnings conference calls.

Configuration-Driven No-Code Data Ingestion Engine with RuleBased Processing

The efficient management of batch processes is critical for modern data-driven organizations, especially within the context of complex data ingestion and processing workflows. This abstract explores the essential components and functionalities required to streamline batch job execution within such environments. Firstly, a robust batch management system is essential, providing capabilities for job scheduling, dependency management, and error handling. Such a system orchestrates the execution of batch jobs, ensuring they run in the appropriate sequence and handle dependencies effectively. Additionally, real-time event-driven triggers enable immediate batch job initiation upon file drops, ensuring timely processing of incoming data and swift response to business needs. Conversely, scheduled batch executions provide predictability and automation, allowing organizations to optimize resource utilization and maintain operational efficiency by running batches at predetermined intervals or specific times. Furthermore, the abstract delves into the necessity of a comprehensive configuration setup to support various data formats, transformation requirements, and validation criteria. A rich configuration engine allows for seamless mapping, transformation, and validation of incoming data, enabling flexibility and adaptability to diverse data sources and requirements. It also emphasizes the importance of containerization for batch job execution, ensuring scalability, resource isolation, and efficient utilization of computing resources. Lastly, the provision of job IDs facilitates seamless invocation of batch jobs by external systems, enabling streamlined interaction and integration across different platforms. Together, these components form a cohesive framework for efficient batch job management, empowering organizations to optimize data processing workflows and derive actionable insights from their data assets.

Opportunities for enhancing MLCommons efforts while leveraging insights from educational MLCommons earthquake benchmarks efforts

MLCommons is an effort to develop and improve the artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem through benchmarks, public data sets, and research. It consists of members from start-ups, leading companies, academics, and non-profits from around the world. The goal is to make machine learning better for everyone. In order to increase participation by others, educational institutions provide valuable opportunities for engagement. In this article, we identify numerous insights obtained from different viewpoints as part of efforts to utilize high-performance computing (HPC) big data systems in existing education while developing and conducting science benchmarks for earthquake prediction. As this activity was conducted across multiple educational efforts, we project if and how it is possible to make such efforts available on a wider scale. This includes the integration of sophisticated benchmarks into courses and research activities at universities, exposing the students and researchers to topics that are otherwise typically not sufficiently covered in current course curricula as we witnessed from our practical experience across multiple organizations. As such, we have outlined the many lessons we learned throughout these efforts, culminating in the need for benchmark carpentry for scientists using advanced computational resources. The article also presents the analysis of an earthquake prediction code benchmark while focusing on the accuracy of the results and not only on the runtime; notedly, this benchmark was created as a result of our lessons learned. Energy traces were produced throughout these benchmarks, which are vital to analyzing the power expenditure within HPC environments. Additionally, one of the insights is that in the short time of the project with limited student availability, the activity was only possible by utilizing a benchmark runtime pipeline while developing and using software to generate jobs from the permutation of hyperparameters automatically. It integrates a templated job management framework for executing tasks and experiments based on hyperparameters while leveraging hybrid compute resources available at different institutions. The software is part of a collection called cloudmesh with its newly developed components, cloudmesh-ee (experiment executor) and cloudmesh-cc (compute coordinator).

Variants of Gender Bias and Sexual-Orientation Discrimination in Career Development

Abstract We use a nationally-representative dataset that includes a large sample of sexual-orientation minorities to investigate gender bias and sexual-orientation discrimination in career progression. Our results are consistent with persistent gender bias findings and non-heterosexual identity-based employment discrimination. Our findings are consistent with previous work noting that protective legislation for gay and lesbian sexual identities have increased the cost of discrimination and contribute to the improved socioeconomic status of a substantial number of people in these minority groups. However, these gains have not been shared with other minority groups in the LGB+ community, which still have some of the lowest probabilities of holding managerial jobs, and higher probabilities of appearing in lower socioeconomic classes.

Perceived Stress During COVID-19 Pandemic: The Malaysian Nurses Experience

Research shows that nurses are one of the most vulnerable categories of professionals to develop stress and other problems due to the nature of their job. Thus the objective of this study is to describe the perceived stress experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic among Malaysian nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online form involving 319 randomly selected nurses from a teaching hospital on the east coast of Pahang, Malaysia, between January to December 2022. The perceived stress was measured using the Malay version 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10 questionnaire. Descriptive and linear regression analysis was applied to measure the mean score of perceived stress and the association between perceived stress scores and other factors in this population. The study found that the total mean score of PSS-10 among the respondents was 19.1 ± 5.8. The three items with the highest mean scores were under the subscales “lack of self-efficiency” of the questionnaire (item-4, item-7, and item 5), while the item with the lowest mean scores belonged to subscales “perceived helplessness” (item-10). However, further analysis performed shows no significant association between perceived stress towards COVID-19 with sociodemographic and work-related factors among respondents. This study concluded that lack of self-efficiency was perceived as the main stress experienced by Malaysian nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it is pivotal that the nurse’s manager and higher authority of the organization focus on improving the efficiency of these nurses through targeted programs focusing on problem-solving, emotional and on-the -job management plan, along with accessibility to resources, a positive work environment and support.

Autonomy and engagement in self-managing organizations: exploring the relations with job crafting, error orientation and person-environment fit.

Self-managing organizations are a novel organizational form that radically decentralizes decision authority to adapt to the volatile business environment and the demands of knowledge work, resulting in new resources and demands for the employees. Therefore, building on the job demands-resources theory and the person-environment fit theory, the associations of self-managing organizations with higher perceived individual autonomy were tested. Additionally, the study investigated how job crafting and handling mistakes related to the relationship between job autonomy and work engagement/satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was conducted to gather data from employees of different self-managing organizations and non-self-managing organizations, and group comparisons and path analyses were applied to test the preregistered hypotheses. Increased method and decision autonomy, job crafting behaviors, error management orientation, work engagement, and job satisfaction were found in self-managing organizations. Additionally, a surplus of perceived autonomy compared to the ideal autonomy was associated with lower work engagement and job satisfaction compared to a fit between ideal and perceived autonomy. However, job crafting did not relate to a better fit between ideal and perceived autonomy. Decision autonomy predicted higher crafting of challenging demands and structural resources for employees with low error strain. Depending on the autonomy type, learning from errors enhanced or reduced the relationship between perceived autonomy and job crafting. This study showed the importance of addressing the higher level of individual autonomy in self-managing organizations and offered starting points for interventions to support employees with handling high autonomy. Reducing error strain but increasing error learning and risking errors could help increase job crafting and work engagement, particularly in self-managing organizations.

Women and Gender Discrimination in the Management of Arabica Coffee Plantations in North Sumatra

Agricultural sector is synonymous with works done by men; however, along with the time passes, more and more women are active working in the agricultural sector although their roles are considered different as that of men in the coffee farming system. This study aims to analyze the role of women in the adat society to support the management of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) plantations in North Sumatra. This is descriptive research with a qualitative approach and uses a survey method. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviews, observation and documentation and used descriptive analysis. The research results show that the majority of women play almost all roles in the agricultural sector to support plantation management and their roles are very important (they bring major positive impacts on developments of Arabica coffee management) since eight out of ten coffee management jobs are dominated by women. Their works have also improved family welfare. However, their roles in the agricultural sector--in terms of coffee management--do not make them get gender equality, both from the wages earned and the results obtained. Keywords: Agriculture, Coffee management, women’s roles

The experience of buprenorphine implant in patients with opioid use disorder: a series of narrative interviews.

This study used narrative medicine (NM) to assess the point of view of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) and the impact that addiction and a new treatment approach via buprenorphine implant had on their daily lives as compared with previous oral Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT). Five patients with OUD undergoing treatment with a buprenorphine subcutaneous implant participated voluntarily and provided their anonymity by self-describing, in response to questions prompted by the clinician, their experience with this innovative therapy. The narratives were analyzed according to standard NM methodology. Citations of patients' positive or negative experiences with traditional OAT and buprenorphine implant were classified according to five categories-patient's determination toward complete opioid abstinence, emotional impact, impact on life, smoothness of therapy, and therapy dependency-and quantified to obtain a picture of the overall therapy experience. The analysis revealed the extent of the burden not only of addiction but also of the traditional OAT on patients' life, including relationships with family, job management, and free time. Conversely, the therapy with buprenorphine implant revealed a significant improvement in the quality of life of the patients, who also largely reported a positive emotional outcome during this therapy, as well as a solid determination to achieve complete recovery. This study illustrates the complex problems of living with OUD and provides insights into the added value of an innovative buprenorphine implant therapy that, due to its administration route and prolonged duration, allows patients to take an additional step toward total opioid abstinence and complete recovery of daily life.

Health information science and technology education: An analysis of health informatics undergraduate and postgraduate programs in arab countries

Rapid advancements in information technology have laid the basis for the move to information management job positions and health informatics education. In fact, information technology becomes an essential component of different healthcare educational programs worldwide. However, scholarly research about health informatics, particularly, in developing countries is still limited. This study is the first investigation to assess and compare health informatics (HI) educational programs across different Arab countries. Websites of all universities and colleges in the Arab world were surveyed and examined. 35 programs in 9 countries have been identified. To systematically collect and evaluate data, a categorization of different variables to assess and compare HI programs has been developed. HI programs in Saudi Arabia and Egypt represent the largest proportion of programs. Most programs are offered by public institutions and belong to medical faculties. 69% of HI educational offerings are undergraduate programs while only 31% are postgraduate programs. HI programs vary in terms of their titles. However, these programs have used the titles 'health informatics', and ' health information management' more frequently. There has also been an uneven distribution in terms of the total hours of programs. The structure of the study plan of 51% of HI programs are built on compulsory courses only. The study has presented a framework that indicates strengths, weaknesses, and emerging trends of HI programs and highlights potential challenges, opportunities, and recommendations to improve such programs.
