This study aims to investigate the sensory experience from guests who have stayed at a budget hotel in Bandung, West Java Province. Although only offers low prices, simple facilities, and less spacious room, yet a budget hotel has been able to maximize comfort and satisfaction for their guests. Subsequently, the number of budget hotels increase significantly in the past few decades and create different themes for hospitality industry. These themes create unique experience and they are felt by five senses of guests during their visits. The experience is divided into visual, tactile, gustatory, auditory, and olfactory. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive analysis from 145 questionnaires which were collected on the field. The results showed that the sensory experience had a dominant impact on guest satisfaction in staying at a budget hotel, especially in tactile and visual.

Background The potential for machine learning to disrupt the medical profession is the subject of ongoing debate within biomedical informatics. Objective This study aimed to explore psychiatrists’ opinions about the potential impact innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning on psychiatric practice Methods In Spring 2019, we conducted a web-based survey of 791 psychiatrists from 22 countries worldwide. The survey measured opinions about the likelihood future technology would fully replace physicians in performing ten key psychiatric tasks. This study involved qualitative descriptive analysis of written responses (“comments”) to three open-ended questions in the survey. Results Comments were classified into four major categories in relation to the impact of future technology on: (1) patient-psychiatrist interactions; (2) the quality of patient medical care; (3) the profession of psychiatry; and (4) health systems. Overwhelmingly, psychiatrists were skeptical that technology could replace human empathy. Many predicted that ‘man and machine’ would increasingly collaborate in undertaking clinical decisions, with mixed opinions about the benefits and harms of such an arrangement. Participants were optimistic that technology might improve efficiencies and access to care, and reduce costs. Ethical and regulatory considerations received limited attention. Conclusions This study presents timely information on psychiatrists’ views about the scope of artificial intelligence and machine learning on psychiatric practice. Psychiatrists expressed divergent views about the value and impact of future technology with worrying omissions about practice guidelines, and ethical and regulatory issues.

The FDI debate is often characterised by generalities about the importance of these flows within the global context.  This article aims to unpack the African-specific FDI issues in order to get a clearer and more substantiated understanding of the current trends, dynamics and challenges, with emphasis on the period since 2000.  The research concludes that nominal flows to the continent are on the increase, with exponential increases over the past decade.  The descriptive analysis indicates that flows to the continent are unevenly spread and are concentrated in the largest economies and/or in petroleum-/oil-exporting countries.  The impact of FDI on growth and investment in particularly smaller economies indicates that FDI inflows are making a substantial contribution to these economies and illustrates the importance of this source of investment.  The econometric analysis reveals that oil exporters and the size of the economy are powerful explanatory variables in explaining FDI flows to Africa, with trade openness a positive, but less powerful variable.

Audio Media

Media audio Gelaria (Gerak Lagu Anak Ceria) telah diterapkan di dalam pembelajaran pada TK Laboratori Pedagogia Yogyakarta. Namun, masalahnya adalah bahwa sampai sejauh ini, belum pernah dilakukan evaluasi keterlaksanaan pemanfaatannya sehingga tidak dapat diketahui tingkat keberhasilannya. Studi ini merupakan studi kasus di TK Laboratori Pedagogia Yogyakarta. Tujuan evaluasi yang dibahas di dalam tulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana tingkat keberhasilan penerapan media audio Gelaria dalam meningkatkan fisik motorik anak-anak TK Laboratori Pedagogi Yogyakarta. Metode yang digunakan adalah evaluasi program model Kirkpatrick dengan analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil evaluasi mengungkapkan bahwa: 1) reaksi peserta didik  menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran melalui pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria berada pada kriteria sangat berhasil (83%); 2) proses belajar peserta didik melalui pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran pada kriteria sangat berhasil (76%); 3) perilaku peserta didik menunjukkan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan media audio Gelaria pada kriteria berhasil (50%); 4) dampak pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria pada peserta didik menunjukkan keterlaksanaan belajar mereka pada kriteria berhasil (70%), yang dapat diketahui melalui berbagai kejuaraan lomba yang diikuti berkaitan dengan kegiatan fisik motorik; dan 5) penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria, baik dari sisi SDM pendidik, sarana prasarana, maupun dana yang tersedia secara umum tidak mengalami kendala. Sebagai simpulan, dapat dikemukakan bahwa media audio Gelaria dapat dimanfaatkan di Taman Kanak-Kanak lainnya yang kondisinya tidak jauh berbeda (sekolah imbas). Namun, disarankan agar lembaga pengembang media audio Gelaria memberikan bimbingan teknis penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria kepada para pendidik dan sekaligus juga mengkaji ulang sintak penerapan pemanfaatan media audio Gelaria. The audio media of Gelaria (Gerak Lagu Anak Ceria or Cheerful Children's Song and Movement) has been implemented in the learning process at the Pedagogia Laboratory Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. However, until now, there has never been any evaluation on its implementation, so that the success degree cannot be identified. This is a case study in Pedagogia Laboratory Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. The objective study is to determine the success degree of the Gelaria audio media implementation in improving the students’ motoric physic at Laboratori Pedagogia Kindergarten, Yogyakarta. The method applied is the Kirkpatrick program evaluation model with qualitative descriptive analysis. The result shows that: 1) The students’ reaction indicates that learning feasibility by using Gelaria audio media is the category of highly successful (83%); 2) The students’ learning process by using Gelaria audio media indicates that the learning feasibility is also in the category of highly successful (76%); 3) Students’ behavior indicates that the learning feasibility by using Gelaria audio media is in the category of successful (50%); 4) The impact of Gelaria audio media implementation on the students indicates that the learning feasibility is in the category of successful (70%), which can be identified from various motoric-physical championships they have attended; and 5) In terms of Human Resources, infrastructures, as well as finance, the implementation of Gelaria audio media has no constraints. It can be summarized that Gelaria audio media can be implemented other Kindergardens that have relatively-common condition (induced schools). However, it is recommended that the institution developing Gelaria audio media should provide technical assistances to teachers on how to implement it, and also continuously review its implmentation syntax.

In this paper, we survey the topic of pandemics with specific reference to the Global Corona Virus pandemic which is dubbed COVID-19, and we trace the background of pandemics in the past. Our objective in this paper is to share our experiences as well as to examine the impact of the pandemic on businesses, especially the educational sector, and also on other sectors. In this paper, we take a multidisciplinary approach as well as a compendious approach of surveying a broad swathe of issues. At the same time, we use a narrative approach, providing commentaries and descriptive analysis, and a flashback of history in the literature review. We rely mainly on secondary data for the discussion and analysis as the nature of the topic is still fresh and delicate for us to conduct primary research. Besides, we believe that the problem at hand is on-going, all encompassing, and it may be premature at this stage for us to come to some definitive conclusions. The theoretical model which we use in the analysis is the macro-environmental model which is popularly and variously called the PEST, PESTLE, PESTEL, SLEPT, or STEEPLE model, popular in management studies and used by Social Scientists in their exegesis and discourses.

The Impact

Postcolonial leadership is implicated in the distorted development and crisis of governance in Nigeria. The political leadership emerged from authoritarian traditions of the colonial state and pursued self-interests against collective societal interests; the mode of the emergence of the leaders as well as the context in which they operate usually impact on the nature and trend of social welfare provisioning. Relying on data from secondary sources, this study examined the impact of democratic governance on social service delivery with Taraba State and education as a case study. The data analysis was based on qualitative descriptive analysis. We found that the education sector under the two administrations between 1999 and 2014, was not prioritized in budgetary allocation, in contravention of UNESCO recommendation that 26% of the budget be dedicated to education. The study recommends, among others, that the government must show commitment to education as a matter of deliberate policy to allocate the required minimum percentage pecked by UNESCO to enhance educational development in Taraba state.
