ABSTRAKPenerjemahan adalah suatu proses mengartikan suatu bahasa ke bahasa lain,  baik secara lisan maupun tertulis, misalnya menerjemahkan dari Bahasa Mandarin ke Indonesia, atau menerjemahkan dari Indonesia ke Mandarin. Penerjemahan juga bisa diartikan sebagai kegiatan mengartikan suatu simbol ke bahasa lain, misalnya, jika lampu merah menyala, artinya kendaraan atau manusia yang melintas, harus berhenti.  Didalam proses penerjemahan suatu teks atau dokumen, penerjemah harus menguasai kosakata yang diperlukan atau kata yang umum dipergunakan, misalnya jika menerjemahkan hal-hal yang berhubungan dengan bidang kesehatan, maka penerjemah harus menguasai istilah-istilah yang ada di dalamnya, termasuk nama-nama penyakit, alat-alat yang dipakai di dalam kedokteran , dan lain sebagainya. Sejalan dengan kemajuan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi,munculah mesin penerjemah seperti google translate, pleco, dan lain-lain, dan menerjemahkan menjadi lebih mudah. Melalui tugas penerjemahan yang dikerjakan oleh 38 mahasiswa, penulis menyadari bahwa banyak mahasiswa yang sangat bergantung dengan alat bantu penerjemah. Mahasiswa menggunakan alat bantu penerjemah untuk memperbaiki tatanan kata dan mengerjakan semua tugas penerjemahan, ada yang bahkan tidak mensortir hasil terjemahan, dengan kata lain mengambil mentah-mentah hasil terjemahan tersebut.Kata Kunci:  Penerjemahan; bahasa Mandarin; mesin penerjemahABSTRACTTranslation is a process of interpreting a language into another language, either orally or in writing, for example translating from Mandarin to Indonesian, or translating from Indonesia to Mandarin. Translation can also be interpreted as the activity of interpreting a symbol into another language, for example, if a red light is on, it means that a passing vehicle or human must stop. In the process of translating a text or document, the translator must master the necessary vocabulary or words that are commonly used, for example if translating matters related to the health sector, the translator must master the terms in it, including names of diseases, tools used in medicine, and so on. In line with advances in information and communication technology, machine translators such as google translate, pleco, and others have emerged, and translating has become easier. Through translation assignments carried out by 38 students, the authors realized that many students were very dependent on translator aids. Students use translator tools to improve word order and do all translation assignments, some do not even sort the translation results, in other words take the translation results raw.Keywords: translation; Mandarin; translator engines

Instrumental View

Abstract: Here discourse about information technology in Canada’s health sector is examined. After an overview of the emergence of the Canadian Health Information Infrastructure, discourse within the Romanow Report is discussed in relation to three key themes: standardization, empowerment, and time/space compression. While an instrumental view of technology in the health care sector is the predominant discourse articulated in the report, we argue that, by emphasizing technology assessment, the Romanow Report makes room for a more nuanced analysis of technology implementations than is common to government reports. We conclude by suggesting how investigations of information and communication technology in the health sector, such as this, may offer opportunities to raise critical questions about technology and health policy from a communications perspective. Résumé : Dans cet article, nous effectuons une analyse de discours sur les technologies de l’information dans le secteur de la santé au Canada. Suivant un survol de l’infrastructure de la technologie de l’information sur la santé du Canada, nous passons en revue le discours du rapport Romanow relatif à trois thèmes clés : la standardisation, l’autonomisation et la compression espace-temps. Bien qu’une perspective instrumentale sur la technologie dans le système de soins soit le discours prédominant articulé dans ce rapport, nous soutenons que le rapport Romanow, en mettant l’accent sur la prospective, effectue une analyse plus nuancée des mises en oeuvre technologiques que celles qu’on lit ordinairement dans des rapports gouvernementaux. Nous concluons cet article en proposant que des études comme celle-ci, qui portent sur la technologie de ’information et de la communication dans le secteur de la santé, ont le potentiel, tout en privilégiant une perspective communicationnelle, de soulever des questions critiques sur les politiques en matière de technologie et de santé.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

School Learning

So far, in implementing school strategies, they tend not to utilize Information and Communication Technology (ICT), despite the availability of ICT resources available. Stages of strategic management are needed to generate the vision, mission, objectives, policy, program, budget, and procedures as well as control and evaluation process as an effort to utilize ICT to improve school quality. Based on the interpretation and the results of the study, it is concluded that schools have organized stages in strategic management that enable schools to have a quality profile. The impact of effective utilization of ICTs for schools is the achievement of effective school management, as per the National Education Standards, which is characterized by effective planning, implementation, control, and evaluation of school ICTs.The purpose of this study is to get a general description, describe, and reveal the Strategic Management of Information and Communication Technology Utilization to Improve the Quality of School Learning in Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational High School and Garut 1 Vocational High School, both on environmental analysis, strategic formulation, implementation and strategic evaluation. The research method used in this research is the case study method, because the problems studied occur in the place and situation of Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational School and Vocational High School 1 Garut. The use of case study models in this study is based on the consideration that to provide an overview of the strategic management activities of the use of ICTs carried out at vocational high schools with the ultimate goal of being able to improve the quality of school learning. Based on observations in the field of SMK 1 Garut and SMK Al Musaddadiyah Ciledug Garut is one of the public schools and private schools that have these advantages.

Role Of Information

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.
