Up to a few years ago, the private rental market in Malta was a classic example of the dysfunction created by two diametrically opposed regimes – a rigidly-controlled one and a completely liberal one – co-existing side by side. Two recent reforms have sought to address this situation. The objective of this paper is to describe the state-of-play in the private rental market in Malta by providing a historical background to these recent developments. In addition to the distortions in the housing market that rent controls introduce, controls also contributed to the deterioration of the statistical infrastructure to collect data on this sector. From this perspective, the introduction of the 2020 rent reform for the post-1995 sector, in addition to providing a set of minimum standards to professionalize the market, also facilitated data collection efforts through the introduction of a rent register. This information provided an alternative source of information to complement the other data sources, which tend to be outdated, inadequate, or focus solely on specific segments of the market, thus allowing for a more detailed and complete view of the private rental market in Malta.

Primary data collection is challenging and with increasing electronic data capture in routine healthcare and other aspects of life, it is possible to address several epidemiological questions by robust analysis of such ‘secondary data’. There are considerable advantages in terms of scope, size, and speed of study to be balanced against the quality and depth of using primary data. Even when such direct contact is not required, there is often the need to extract necessary information from individual subject records such as medical files. There is often no alternative source of information, although the greater digitization of information is changing that scenario with the potential that the availability of such information might preclude the need for primary data.

Abstrak:Kemajuan teknologi saat ini, telah mengantarkan perubahan dalam segala aspek kehidupan manusia khususnya dalam pemenuhan informasi. Masyarakat modern dalam memenuhi kebutuhan informasinya lebih mengandalkan media massa sebagai solusinya. Karena lebih mudah, cepat dan hemat, termasuk pemenuhan informasi tentang pengetahuan agamaan mereka. Mereka tinggal duduk manis didepan kotak ajaib (internet, radio, koran dan televisi),  semua kebutuhan dan keingintahuannya akan tercukupi, mereka yaitu masyarakat menganggap apa yang di tampilkan dan ditayangkan oleh media massa adalah sebuah kebenaran yang tidak perlu diragukan lagi. Sehingga semua yang ada dimedia massa, masyarakat cenderung akan meniru atau melakukan apa yang di lihat dan di dengarkannya. Oleh karenanya dalam tulisan ini penulis akan membahas tentang bagaimana masyarakat muslim memeahami agama dengan pesan-pesan dakwah islami yang baik dari media massa yaitu baik dari internet dan televisi. Realita lain mengatakan bahwa para pelaku dan pemilik media massa sekarang ini kebanyakan dari kalangan non muslim. Pastinya pesan dan informasi yang disampaikan lewat mediamassa juga akan sangat dipengaruhi oleh pengelolanya. Karena kita tahu bahwa media tidak bebas nilai. Sehingga fenomena tersebut juga menjadi perhatian penulis dalam kesempatan kali ini. Tulisan ini menunjukan bahwa dakwah lewat media massa menjadi sebuah keharusan. Baik lewat media massa berbentuk, koran, televisi, internet, majalah atau yang lainnya. Karena menurut hemat penulis kegiatan dakwah adalah kegiatan mengajak, dan untuk konteks sekarang kegiatan mengajak akan lebih efektif dan efisien apabila lewat media massa. Sehingga kegiatan dakwah natinya akan lebih banyak dirasakan manfaatnya oleh semua kalangan masyarakat. Abstract:This study addresses two main issues, namely: 1) How is mediator interpersonal communication with litigants in the divorce process in the Tulungagung Religious Court?.

In order to obtain detailed data results, researchers used three methods of data collection, namely interviews, observation and documentation as non-human data sources. The results showed that 1) Mediators applied 5 principles of interpersonal communication in conducting mediation with litigants in divorce cases at the Tulungagung Religion court, namely: empathy, respect, can be heard or understood, clarity of messages, and a humble attitude that was shown through attitude and speech mediator, 2) The success of the mediator in interpersonal communication to reduce divorce rates in the Tulungagung Religious Court is caused by the firm and neutral attitude of the mediator in directing the litigant party and the open attitude of the litigant party.However, on the other hand, interpersonal communication sometimes shows low success because of the problem of complicated bargaining related to property, the firm attitude of the parties to divorce, and reluctance to follow the mediation process as a way to speed up the divorce process.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong>: <em>This study is aimed at showing the concepts of cultural values of Bugis society in Wajo, comprising of the values such as honesty, expertness, truth, mercy, and business summarized in the system of "pangedereng".

Data collection and machine learning are changing the world. Whether it is medicine, sports or education, companies and institutions are investing a lot of time and money in systems that gather, process and analyse data. Likewise, to improve competitiveness, a lot of countries are making changes to their educational policy by supporting STEM disciplines. Therefore, it’s important to put effort into using various data sources to help students succeed in STEM. In this paper, we present a platform that can analyse student’s activity on various contest and e-learning systems, combine and process the data, and then present it in various ways that are easy to understand. This in turn enables teachers and organizers to recognize talented and hardworking students, identify issues, and/or motivate students to practice and work on areas where they’re weaker.

Tulisan ini membahas fenomena penyebaran kitab-kitab cetak keaga­maan di Jawa Barat, khususnya di Sukabumi dan Cianjur. Jenis kitab ini biasanya menggunakan tulisan Arab dengan bahasa Sunda dan menggu­nakan aksara Pegon. Kitab-kitab cetak dari jenis-jenis itu diproduksi dan direproduksi, dan masih digunakan sampai hari ini. Oleh karena itu, fenomena ini dapat disebut sebagai “living tradition”. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melacak dan merekam kitab-kitab yang diproduksi (disalin atau dikarang) dan direproduksi (dicetak atau digandakan) dengan metode seder­hana, yakni fotocopi dan pencetakan tradisional seperti stensil, sablon, dan "cetak toko". Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memetakan dan merevisi kategorisasi kitab-kitab tersebut dari kajian terdahulu berdasarkan jenis karya, seperti karangan asli, tuqilan, terjemahan, syarḥ (penjelasan), khulasah (ringkasan) yang lain, dan juga berdasarkan bahasa dan aksara yang digunakan. Selain itu, tulisan ini juga mengamati lembaga-lembaga atau individu-individu yang masih mereproduksi buku-buku (kitab-kitab) keagamaan sederhana seperti perusahaan percetakan atau pesantren yang menerbitkan kitab-kitab tersebut. Pada akhir artikel ini, ada beberapa saran dalam upaya untuk melestarikan kitab-kitab cetak dan karya-karya tersebut.Kata kunci: kitab, jenis karya, pencetakan tradisional, Sunda, Pegon, Jawa Barat This paper discusses the phenomenon of the spreading of religious printed books (kitabs) in West Java, especially in Sukabumi and Cianjur, which are characterized by the use of Arabic writing in Sundanese (or known as Pegon script). The printed books (Kitabs) of those types are produced and reproduced, and are still used to this day. Therefore, this phenomenon can be called as a “living tradition”. Data collection was conducted by tracing and recording religious books (kitabs) that are pro-duced (rewritten or compossed) and reproduced (printed or duplicated) with a simple method, known as photocopying and traditional printing such as stencils, screen printing, and “shop printing”. This paper aims to map and revise the categorization of these Kitabs from previous studies based on the types of works including original essays, tuqilan (quotations), translation, sharh (explanation), khulaṣah (summary), or the other, and also based on the language and the script used. In addition, this paper also observes the institutions or individuals that are still reproducing these printed religious books such as the printing company or pesantren that publish such kitabs. At the end of this article, there are some suggestions in attempts to preserve those printed kitabs and the works.Keywords: Kitabs, type of work, traditional printing, Sunda, Pegon, West Java
