Peningkatan Layanan Sistem Kerja dengan Program Aplikasi Manajemen Pada UPK SADU Mandiri

The Activity Management Unit (UPK) is the unit that manages the operational activities of PNPM Mandiri Rural in the sub-district and helps BKAD coordinate meetings in the sub-district. UPK SADU Mandiri is located in Sungai Itik Village, SADU District, East Tanjung Jabung Regency, which operates in the savings and loans sector with the aim of helping the community, especially women (mothers). The problem is that most people do not have sufficient capital to open a business. Under these conditions, it is not uncommon for people to have to leave the area and even move to other areas to earn money to support their families. Due to this problem, the government is present through UPK SADU Mandiri to provide assistance in the form of business capital loans specifically for women residents of Sungai Itik Village. In the partner's work process, it turns out that they have quite serious problems, namely in terms of managing data on borrower participants and processing the loan amount. It is not uncommon for this to occur in errors, both in sloppy filing and in calculating data that is not well-structured. From this problem, a simple idea emerged to provide a solution by introducing and understanding technological developments, especially in terms of data processing for partners. The technology that will be applied is the Microsoft Office Word and Excel application programs. Partners will be directed and taught to process data using computers, namely by using word processing and number processing application programs, using internet media, with a faster, safer and more well-structured process. In terms of partner management, an operational standard will be created which will be adapted to conditions in the field so that it can truly be used as a reference and then standardized.

Community Preparedness to Recurrent Flood Disasters in Babessi, Rural Cameroon

Purpose: Flood is a recurrent natural disaster that has caused enormous human and material damage in many places and continues to hit rural communities at an alarming rate. Flood affects the community extensively and it is crucial for them to be prepared to reduce the risk faced in the event of a flood disaster. The need to improve on education, local flood disaster committee, public awareness and early warnings as preparedness measures to prevent and manage flood disasters by rural communities is therefore indispensable. This study aims to determine the current level of flood preparedness amongst households in Babessi, Cameroon as well as other contributing factors to preparedness such as the availability of flood forecast and early warning and public awareness to prepare for floods.
 Methodology: This study used the mixed methods approach that combined descriptive and analytical perspectives. It collected and analyzed both qualitative and quantitative data concurrently and sequentially and integrated data at one or more stages in the process. Using a structured questionnaire, data was purposively and randomly selected from 317 households from the same. Quantitative data were supplemented by 7 key informant interviews and 2 focused group discussions. All quantitative data generated from the questionnaires were entered into a template designed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20). The data were cleaned and later on analyzed using both SPSS and Microsoft Excel 2013. For qualitative data (FGDs and KIIs), they were recorded in the field using Dictaphones (voice recorder) and later on transcribed and typed into a word processing program (Microsoft Word 2013). The transcribed data were analyzed using Nvivo version 11, and themes were established in relation to research objective. Results were presented using tables, figures and charts.
 Findings: Using descriptive analysis, the findings indicated that the preparedness measures were mostly stocking of equipment (sand and sand bags) followed by emergency savings, stocking of emergency relief materials (food, water and drugs). Availability of flood forecast and early warning systems, education and public awareness were low overall preparedness level. The population of Babessi needs heightened sensitization on the impending dangers of flood hazard and be encouraged to participate in implementing the adopted strategies to prevent and manage subsequent flood disasters.
 Recommendations: The Social Representations Theory (SRT) informed this study. A social representation is a system of values, ideas and practices regarding a given social object, as well as the elaboration of that object by a group for the purpose of communicating and behaving. For policy, to enhance information dissemination, investments should be made in improving communication infrastructure and disseminating timely and accurate information about flood risks, early warnings, evacuation procedures, and available support services.

Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Pelayanan Publik Berbasis Web Pada Kantor Kecamatan Lembak

Along with the development of technological advances so that the need for fast, accurate, easy and practical data processing has become a demand, so that currently the majority of institutions have utilized a computerized data management system, good service is able to provide satisfaction to the community. However, most of the service processes at the sub-district office are still carried out conventionally, namely correspondence services and data management still using a word processing program (Ms. Office), so that the process requires more time to carry out services and document documentation is not properly administered. At the Lembak District Office, one of the offices that provides administrative services is located in Lembak Village, Lembak District, Muara Enim Regency. The form of services provided relates to population administration and other services related to government at the sub-district level. The services provided are for example a cover letter for identity cards (KTP), cover letters for family cards (KK), crowd permits, incoming and outgoing letters.

Speak-to-Write from Multiple Perspectives, as Method

One of the practice-based research methods that excites me the most today is to work with writing as a practice, and as a practice-based research method. The technology of writing can be very misleading, especially when that writing is typed using a word processing program. When using this tool, writing looks the same whether it represents a stream of consciousness, a first draft, or a final proof. Because of this, I have found that I hold myself to the standard of the final version, which of course completely freezes me up. If we are always aiming for the final version, there is not much room for thinking, making errors, going sideways and backward and forward again. There is only the guaranteed feeling of failure. In response, graphic designer Juliette Bellocq and I have developed a set of writing exercises that address these two limitations, as I have come to know writing from my training as an academic. In this piece, we share our exercise, 1,000 Ways Home. It is a non-linear process of thinking and writing. It also offers the alchemy of communicating in the presence of another person who pays close attention. We call our process speak-to-write.

Machinery for managers: secretaries, psychologists, and ‘human–computer interaction’, 1973–1983

AbstractThis article characterizes early research in the field of ‘human–computer interaction’ (HCI) by analysing the first decade of ‘user psychology’ research at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). PARC's Applied Information-Processing Psychology Project (AIP) provided an initial theoretical foundation for HCI in the early 1980s. Like researchers in artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at AIP drew from information-processing psychology. However, AIP researchers argued that their focus on human behaviour distinguished their research from AI and other fields allied with computer science. Previous scholarship has shown that United States computer engineers became concerned with ‘users’ as they sought to commercialize military-funded developments in interactive computing. This paper argues that the decision made by upper management in computerizing workplaces to shift some text production work from clerical workers to middle managers during the 1970s and 1980s led AIP to perceive ambiguities around gender and technical skill. This shaped the initial theoretical foundations that the research group offered to HCI – especially the group's conception of the ‘user’. Computer designers went from presenting word-processing programs as clerical machines for women workers to presenting them as tools for masculine thinking. AIP's research diverged from industrial engineering and AI in response to this transformation.

Using Google Docs to Administer Synchronous Collaborative Assessments

Collaborative learning increases student achievement of learning outcomes in a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences, and is a hallmark of authentic assessment. To help students collaborate more effectively, I have used Google Docs, a free, online word-processing program accessible using almost any internet-connected device. Assessments that include real-world application problems are composed in Google Docs and shared with students via links. Google Docs has proven to be more efficient than pencil-and-paper assessment, encourages greater collaboration within student groups than is possible with tools embedded in a learning management system, and provides opportunities to give students just-in-time instruction and examine student metacognition, all of which are foundational for authentic assessment. Post-assessment grading is rapid, and corrected documents with instructor feedback can be easily shared with students. Students have adapted readily to the platform and have learned on their own how to use the software beyond my original conception. I describe how I have used Google Docs successfully in a molecular biology course, offer considerations for grading and distributing corrections, and report on students’ perceptions of the assessments themselves.

Sosialisasi Sistem Informasi Manajemen Desa dengan Penerapan e-Surat Berbasis Web di Desa Sukacai Kecamatan Jiput Kabupaten Pandeglang

The PKM partner in this activity is Sukacai village, most of the service processes are still carried out conventionally, namely correspondence services and data processing still using a word processing program (Ms. Office), so the process takes longer to provide services and documents. less well-administered so that errors often occur and even data archives are lost or damaged because there are too many archives. There are several things that can cause problems in a system that is run manually, including the large amount of data that must be done, the complexity of the data, the limited time used to process the data. From the above problems, the community service implementing team seeks to help village officials, especially Sukacai village, in carrying out public services online and making it easier for the community to manage administration, the lecturer and student team tries to help develop the E-Letter application and to make it easier for village officials to use the application. In this e-letter, the community service implementing team conducts training or workshops on how to use this e-letter application. There are three applications of E-Letters, namely Business Certificate (SKU), Cover Letter for E-KTP, and Unmarried Statement Letter. Some of these E-letter applications are they community is facilitated by this application because the process is faster and more efficient.

ELEMENTS OF COMPUTER LEXICOGRAPHY IN AGRICULTURAL MANAGERS EDUCATION

The development of all spheres of public life is associated with the optimization of information processes (collection, storage, processing, transmission of information), so modern society is called information. Modern information and communication technologies play an important role in teaching a foreign language in non-philological higher education institutions. The organization of education using electronic tools allows significant deepening the professional knowledge and optimizing the educational process for students. Modern lexicography has significantly expanded and strengthened its tools with computer technology for creating and using dictionaries. Special programs (databases, computer files, word processing programs) let us automatically generate dictionary entries, store dictionary information and process it. The purpose of the study is to reveal the specifics of computer lexicography use for training managers in a modern agricultural university. To achieve this goal, a set of methods was used: theoretical: comparison and generalization (study of the degree of scientific development of the term “computer lexicography”), analysis, synthesis and generalization of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature, theoretical forecasting and modeling of computer lexicography to determine scientific bases of the researched problem; empirical: diagnostic methods (interviews, interviews with teachers, questionnaires, analysis of products of professional activity of teachers, which provide philological disciplines in teaching the agricultural managers). The analysis of the problem showed its insufficient representation in modern scientific works. The article characterizes the role of disciplines of the philological cycle in the professional training of higher education students majoring in “Management”; the term “computer lexicography” is defined and its typology is singled out; the conditions for the introduction of computer lexicography in the educational process of agricultural universities are determined; analyzed software for the introduction of elements of computer lexicography in training the marketing specialists in agricultural universities; the positive and negative aspects of the use of computer lexicography as a component of education are revealed. The article for the first time revealed the specifics of the use of computer lexicography in teaching the philological disciplines for the specialty “Management” at the universities in the agricultural sector. The variety of trends in the introduction of computer lexicography at all stages of teaching the discipline is obvious, and, in particular, the variety of approaches to the creation of electronic dictionaries of different types. The obtained results allow deepening the knowledge of future specialists in the field of management, expanding the interests of higher education seekers, simplifying the work of students with special terminology, systematizing the acquired knowledge, improving the quality of philological disciplines through the introduction of information and communication technologies.

Translation and Technology: Investigating the Employment of Computer-aided Translation (CAT) Tools among Iranian Freelance Translators

The present study aimed to investigate the employment of computer-aided translation (CAT) tools among Iranian freelance translators. Fulford and Granell-Zafra (2005) proposed a model encompassing both information and communications technology (ICT) and CAT tools to support a large number of activities, including document production, information search and retrieval, communications, business management, marketing and work procurement, and translation creation. CAT tools are employed to support document production, business management, and translation creation; and ICT tools are used to support the rest. A questionnaire was used for data collection from Iranian freelancers. As the results indicated, Iranian freelance translators were more interested to employ general-purpose software applications, such as word processing programs and presentation software, whereas they showed less interest in the employment of special-purpose software, such as accounting packages and database software. Moreover, most participants approved the effectiveness of CAT tools in their work.

Choosing Challenge

If you've ever copied text and pasted it elsewhere, or used the find-and-replace function, you owe a debt to Larry Tesler. Tesler passed away earlier this year, and I learned in his obituary how his remarkable innovations helped simplify the everyday lives of millions of people, including mine. Before Tesler, word processing programs had different modes, and the user had to memorize multiple sets of keystroke combinations and how they worked across modes. This complexity always tripped him up, Tesler later recalled, so he set out to create a simpler way to interact with computerized text. It would become his lifelong passion to make computers “user-friendly,” to use the phrase Tesler helped coin. Tesler embodied what developmental psychologists call mastery behaviors—the inclination to seek out challenges, invest effort in learning, persist when difficulty mounts, and rebound from failure.

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARD THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE MULTILITERACIES COMPETENCE IN EFL CLASSROOMS

The rapid development of information and communication technology in the 21st century undoubtedly has profound impacts on human lives and dramatically transforms education.

Knowledge and utilization of computer among health-care professionals in Mumbai

Background: Incorporation of information technology (IT) advancements in health care has gained wide acceptance in the last two decades. Developed countries have successfully incorporated this in their health-care system, thus improving health care. However, only a limited application of IT is seen in developing countries. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and utilization of computers among health-care professionals in Mumbai, India. Methodology: A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among dental, medical, Ayurveda, and homeopathy practitioners. A total of 1000 respondents (250/group) were included in the study. The first section of the questionnaire sought sociodemographic information of respondents, and the second section sought information on the level to which health-care practitioners apply computers to tasks at their places of work, accessibility of the Internet, views regarding the cost of a computer, and the problems associated with the medical recording system at their places of work. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 17. P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Two hundred and fifty participants in each profession were included in the study. The age ranged between 23 and 65 years. Majority (>80%) of the participants had knowledge about word processing program and slide preparation for presentation. On comparison, knowledge was more in medical and dental professionals (P = 0.04). Almost 80% were in the opinion that electronic system for records is better than paper-based recording system, but majority of them reported lack of such facility at their workplace. Knowledge and utilization was higher among the doctors having postgraduate qualification compared to undergraduates (P = 0.002). Conclusion: The study showed average knowledge but lack of utilization of computers by health-care professionals in routine practice. More research should be done into the factors that play an important role in computer use among health-care professionals in developing societies.
