This research aims to map out types of bilingual signboards found in Elementary and Secondary schools in Surakarta based on their functions, to assess their quality in terms of accuracy and acceptability, and to describe factors influencing the translation quality. This descriptive qualitative research used data sources in the form of documents and persons, i.e. bilingual signboards displayed on school walls and those called raters who have competencies in assessing translation quality. Content analysis, Interview, and Focus Group Discussion were applied as the methods to collect and analyze the data of bilingual signboards. As a result, there are three types of school signboard, namely signboards showing names of place, signboards showing the condition of a particular place, and those saying proverbs. Dealing with the function, signboards having informative, suggestive, restrictive and mandatory functions are identified. The majority of the data resulting accurate and less acceptable translation is found in universal signboards, while culture-bound signboards tend to be rendered less accurate and less acceptable due to some factors that can be read thoroughly in this article.

This research aimed to analyze the translation techniques used by the subtitler to translate modality orientation and the impact of the translation techniques on the modality orientation shifts in “The Jungle Book” movie subtitle. This research was a descriptive qualitative research. The data in this research were words, phrases, and clauses as the marker of modality orientation in the movie, and translation techniques used by the subtitler. Modality orientation was obtained through content analysis based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory as proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). Then, translation techniques were obtained through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as proposed by Molina and Albir (2002). The findings show that the subtitler uses seven techniques to translate modality orientation. They have established equivalence, modulation, discursive creation with established equivalence, deletion, transposition, discursive creation, and reduction with established equivalence. The subtitler uses established equivalence to translate orientation that produces same category, value, form, and orientation. Deletion technique, modulation, and creation discursive with established equivalence cause the loss of modality in the target language. Applying modulation, transposition, discursive creation, and reduction with established equivalence techniques make a shift on the modality orientation and also produce different meaning in the target language. The change of value in modality in the target language is caused by the use of modulation and reduction with established equivalence technique by the subtitler.

Translating the implied meanings in utterances is one of the trickiest situations translators may confront. One example is in translating utterances that flout the maxim of quality. When a speaker flouts the maxim of quality, they are implying further information that is not represented in the utterance. Translators use various translation techniques in order to convey the meaning of the original text in the most appropriate and acceptable form in the target text. This study investigates how translation techniques may affect the quality of a translation. The approach implemented in this study is pragmatics in translation. This study belongs to the field of descriptive qualitative research with an embedded case study. For data, we look at all the utterances which may be said to be flouting the maxim of quality in the source text and its translation. Content analysis and focus group discussion were applied as the methods to collect and analyze the data. A focus group discussion was used to assess translation quality. The majority of the data was classified as accurate and acceptable, while the rest was considered less accurate and inaccurate due to the application of the translation technique amplification (addition), discursive creation and literal translation. Some data was also found to be less acceptable due to literal translation and pure borrowing.

The pandemic has changed people's habits or people's behavior in non-cash transactions using digital wallets or e-wallets to reduce the risk of being infected with the coronavirus, one of which is by using QRIS. However, we have not often encountered the use of digital payment technology through QRIS in tourism locations. One of them is the South Square of Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative research using the Focus group discussion method. In this study, the number of participants in this FGD was ten people from the team, ISEI, and tourism industry players in Alun-Alun Kidul Yogyakarta. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the first conclusion is that the use of QRIS in Alun-Alun Kidul Yogyakarta is still minimal, even though 80% have received the code, but only 30% have activated it, and who use it no more than 2%. Some several obstacles and challenges cause this, including the low number of visitors, regulations that are not required, and the mindset of traders who still use traditional financial management systems. The alternative solution offered is QRIS activation for tourism industry players who have not yet performed and provided mobile services from BPD.

The researcher designed this study with an approach of qualitative research approach with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method. Participants come from 25 universities throughout Indonesia. Participants are leaders of higher education ranging from the head of the study program to the rector. The result of the focus group discussion shows that the quality of higher education will decrease if there is the scarcity of qualified lecturers. Declining quality of higher education will affect the number of students. Finally, if the student decline happens continuously, then higher education can close. So quality is a top priority in university governance.

“Non Value Added activity elimination (NOVACELI)” dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti menghilangkan kegiatan yang tidak menambah nilai, istilah yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu merupakan suatu metoda yang dikembangkan untuk lingkungan organisasi manufaktur untuk        menghilangkan pemborosan sumber daya. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk memperluas penerapan metode NOVACELI dilingkungan organisasi non manufaktur, yaitu lingkungan organisasi jasa    orientasi laba dan lingkungan organisasi nir laba (non) komersial. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menjawab pertanyaan yaitu bagaimana sebaiknya “non value added activity elimination” untuk organisasi jasa nir laba. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan Penelitian Kualitatif (Qualitative Research) dengan metoda pengumpulan data dengan pengamatan, tinjauan pustaka, tinjauan dokumen wawancara, Focus Group Discussion. Organisasi nirlaba yang menjadi sampel adalah organisasi gereja setempat dan universitas Kristen Maranatha. Pengamatan dilakukan secara pengamatan Peserta Kuasi (Quasi Partisipant), yaitu peneliti pada suatu rentang waktu melibatkan diri dalam aktivitas yang diamati. untuk memperkuat validitas penelitian, digunakan kombinasi triangulasi yaitu triangulasi data dan triangulasi investigator. Dalam penelitian ini penciptaan dan evaluasi kegiatan dibagi dalam dua strata, yaitu strata strategis           dan strata operasional. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan untuk organisasi gereja setempat, pada strata strategis tema metode Novaceli tidak relevan dan untuk strata operasional metode Novaceli untuk industri jasa dapat diterapkan, yaitu pada kegiatan pelayanan administrasi dan kebutuhan surat keterangan bagi jemaat. Untuk organisasi Yayasan (YPTKM), metode Novaceli untuk industri jasa yang telah dikembangkan dapat   diterapkan pada dibidang kesekertariatan, atau pelayanan administratif  kesekretariatan pada direktorat pelaksana Yayasan dan tidak sesuai untuk kegiatan yayasan yang lain. Untuk organisasi Universitas Kristen Maranatha, maka untuk penciptaan dan evaluasi kegiatan pada strata strategis, juga penghilangan kegiatan yang tidak menambah nilai (novaceli), maka metode yang perlu dikembangkan adalah metode dalam manajemen strategi, yang menghasilkan rencana strategi, eksekusi dan evaluasi strategi. Sedangkan untuk strata operasional, seperti badan administrasi akademik, keuangan dan Sumber Daya manusia metode novaceli yang sudah dikembangkan untuk organisasi jasa komersial bisa diterapkan.   Kata kunci: Novaceli, limbah, organisasi nir laba

<p><em></em><em>The religious counselor has an important role in society as an agent of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia in transforming community. However, in the reality, as a community motivator, its class is far less important than the private motivators such as Mario Teguh, Abdullah Gymnastiar and his ESQ method, Christian Andrianto, Hermawan Kartajaya,Gede Prama, Krisnamurti, Guenta K., Andrie Wongso and so forth. This is a qualitative research using an in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), observation and document study in collecting data. The results show: the first, the religious counselor developed a face to face model for their communication with their clients which is to some extent less sophisticated. In addition, this method does not follow people’s needs and development of technology. Furthermore, they are mostly working with religious group, except some religious counselors in Manado who tried to enhance their work into wider society </em></p>
