English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is designed to be learned and practiced as an essential component for employment preparation or occupational mobility. Learners aspire to utilize their ESP skills to enhance their occupational achievement and mobility. The objective of this study is to determine how to effectively enhance ESP learning to meet occupational needs with limited resources and time constraints. This study was conducted using an analytic hierarchy process to prioritize all factors of ESP enhancement plans among participants who often engage in staff acquisition, performance appraisal, and career development planning in the global business community. While aiming to enhance learners’ ESP level to improve their competitiveness in the workforce, this study considers four main criteria. Each criterion has sub-criteria/alternatives; these amount to 19 in total. The results show that among the four criteria, the main concerns of participants are the employees’ ESP proficiency certificate accreditation; and among the 19 sub-criteria/alternatives, the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) ranked the highest for achieving occupational mobility. All these factors can facilitate the determination and prioritization of the targets for ESP enhancement as well as for acquainting ESP practitioners with employers’ requirements and effectively meeting them by altering the lesson plans accordingly. Moreover, learners can strengthen their employment potential by using the ESP qualification to achieve a smoother career path.

In a company, the process of employees recruitment and performance appraisal are very crucial. The recruitment is the first process which selects the potential employees that would meet the company’s pre-defined criteria. Meanwhile, the performance appraisal is a way to evaluate employees’ performances whether or not the employees have achieved the company’s goals. In PT. XYZ, both employee recruitment and performance appraisal processes were manually conducted. This manual process were indeed proned to many mistakes and unfair decisions. For that reason, an information system is indispensable to support the aforementioned processes. In this study, we have developed a web-based application which can support the recruitment and performance appraisal process. UML diagram version 2.4 and Rapid Application Development (RAD) with prototyping method were employed to support the development of our application. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method were also embedded in our application to select and rank the applicants based on several criteria in a more objective manner. The result of this study is a fully functional web-based application which is able to support, automate, as well as accelerate the recruitment and performance appraisal process at PT. XYZ.

How to measure the level of intellectual property protection has been the focus of academic and practical circles, however, rigorous empirical evidence remains scant. The influencing factors of intellectual property protection are summarized and analyzed, and the evaluation index system of intellectual property protection at the provincial level is constructed with judicial, administrative, pluralistic, and environmental protections as the first-class indicators. The feasibility and reliability of the index system are tested empirically by using the 2019 data of intellectual property protection in certain provinces and cities in China. The index system can objectively reflect the level of intellectual property protection in provincial regions. The research has certain enlightenment to strengthen the performance appraisal of intellectual property protection and improve the level of intellectual property protection in the region and even in the country.

This study discusses the decision support system for evaluating employee work behavior carried out at the Polman Industry and Trade Office. Where, the current condition at the Polman Industry and Trade Service itself, the performance appraisal of its employees, especially non-permanent employees, is still done manually. This makes the need for a system that is able to manage employee performance appraisal data. This study aims to produce a system that can assist agency leaders as consideration in making employee research decisions. To minimize the obstacles faced, in this study apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in a Decision Support System (DSS). The criteria used in this research are service orientation, integrity, commitment, discipline, cooperation and leadership. This system uses the Visual Basic Net 2010 programming language and Microsoft Office 2003 for the database.Keywords: support system, perindag, SPK, employees.

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is one tool that can be used to measure the performance of an organization. To improve the quality of education, a performance appraisal system is needed to measure the ability of universities to carry out their functions. In this study, the authors will design a performance appraisal system for vokasi colleges by integrating indicators in BAN-PT, AUN-QA, MQA, and TEQSA. Integrating indicators aims to enable vokasi colleges to compete nationally and internationally. The results of this study obtained 90 indicators divided into four BSC perspectives. Each value will be calculated with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The performance appraisal system that has been designed will be used by vokasi colleges to measure its performance so that it can be seen that improvements will be made by vokasi colleges to compete at national and international levels.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The rate of urbanization growth in tropical areas, particularly in African cities, coupled with a gap in the knowledge of vulnerability and coping capacities increases the flood-related risk in diverse communities. This study aims to evaluate the factors of vulnerability to flooding and to develop a vulnerability index in Bujumbura city, Burundi. To this end, both physical and socio-economic parameters accountable for flood vulnerability have been integrated with a geospatial analysis process based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) methods. The resulting vulnerability index shows that low-income households and their local infrastructures are the most vulnerable to flooding. Another finding reveals that higher vulnerability is due to settlements located in flood-prone areas with unplanned land use and ill-structured development planning.</p>
