The mechanisms of professional selection of young graduates in the labour market remain an open debate and involve all stakeholders: students, educational system, companies and administrations. These mechanisms play a crucial role in the future performances of an institution or a company, as the selection of the wrong candidate can ruin an organization. In contrast, the right candidate can take the organization to new heights. The interview presents a short interaction that may reflect the candidate knowledge and skills; however, there are many other hidden facets such as personality traits that are difficult to measure only by interviewing. Today, many countries already use personality testing during the recruitment phase. Our objective through this work is to determine the possible links between the personality of future young employees and their performance within the company. To achieve this objective, we carried out a comparative study of the different personality tests used in the recruitment process.

Traffic island of Ciung Wanara in Gianyar and Traffic island of Satrya Gatotkaca in Tuban had turned their function of being a place of recreation for the community. The purpose of this study is to invent existing condition of Ciung Wanara and Satrya Gatotkaca traffic island. This study also provides recommendations in the form of designs that can improve the function of the site. The method used in this research was field survey by conducting observation, distributing questioner and doing interview. Research showed that, users in Ciung Wanara traffic island were dominated by student while users who came to the traffic island Satrya Gatotkaca were dominated by employees. The selection of vegetation bettwen the traffic island of Ciung Wanara and traffic island of Satrya Gatotkaca very different. Vegetation in the traffic island of Ciung Wanara used more of large size vegetation that can block the view of the user of the vehicle, while the vegetation used in the traffic island of Satrya Gatotkaca use lower plants size. The recommendation given in both locations was to add access to traffic island of Ciung Wanara so as to make easier for users to find the right place to cross, while traffic island of Satrya Gatotkaca was arraged it crossing space for more convenient and secure for users to passed the crosswalk.

While there exists a wide variety of radio frequency (RF) technologies amenable for usage in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), which have been studied separately before, it is currently still unclear how their performance compares in true on-body scenarios. In this paper, a single reference on-body scenario—that is, propagation along the arm—is used to experimentally compare six distinct RF technologies (between 420 MHz and 2.4 GHz) in terms of path loss. To further quantify on-body path loss, measurements for five different on-body scenarios are presented as well. To compensate for the effect of often large path losses, two mitigation strategies to (dynamically) improve on-body links are introduced and experimentally verified: beam steering using a phased array, and usage of on-body RF repeaters. The results of this study can serve as a tool for WBAN designers to aid in the selection of the right RF frequency and technology for their application.

Padang Restaurant is one of the ethnic restaurants in Indonesia from Minangkabau. The existence and "brand" of Padang Restaurant has been very well known in the territory of Indonesia and even in several neighboring countries such as Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. Padang cuisine, with its taste and variety, is currently in great demand by the wider community. Unlike the canteen, cafe or restaurant, where visitors are given a menu and order the desired food, at the Padang restaurant, when visitors sit, they will be served a whole selection of side dishes available with small plates. After serving then the customer just takes what he wants from the dish table. The problem that can then arise is the food that has been served, but not eaten by visitors. The food will be brought back and served to another table. Not infrequently the food that is still on the visitor's table is pulled back to serve at another table. In addition, food storage is also done in an open place so that visitors can come. These things will certainly bring cleanliness problems. For visitors who are very concerned about cleanliness, of course they will feel uncomfortable seeing the food that has been served at another table and then served on the table. Or see the food served brought from an open place. Service Excellence at the restaurant not only increases the company's profit but can also improve the image of the restaurant. When guests or consumers are satisfied with the service in their restaurant they will promote their satisfaction in the restaurant. Service Excellence is service to consumers to improve service in a company. Service Excellence in Restaurants is a service to consumers to provide satisfaction in the form of excellent service to the restaurant products. Excellent service is very important not only to get big profits but this service must be fulfilled by every company. To provide Service Excellence in the right restaurant, every employee must get training or training so that they are truly able to work well and professionally. A restaurant employee must be able to provide services to consumers whoever they are. Not only employees who are in front but all members of the company must also be able to provide the best service.
