Website is a collection of online documents containing Web pages that are moored in a domain as a unique name. It can be accessed via the Internet so that existing information can be displayed and accessed by Web visitors. Web visitors tends to need websites with user interface which is easy to use, to interact (usability), or communicate in sharing information. There are basically some benchmarks that can be used to measure website usability, including (1) Learnability, easiness to learn; (2) Efficiency, user speed level; (3) memorability, easiness to remember; (4) Error and safety, low fault rate; and (6) Satisfaction, satisfied user. Moreover, there are several methods of evaluation of the website in this research, such as: (1) Thinking Aloud Method, (2) User Perfomance test, (3) Remote Usability Test, (4) Cooperative Evaluation, (5) Expert Review, (6) Heuristic Evaluation, (7) Cognitive Walkthrough, (8) Plurastic Walkthrough, (9) Field Observation, and (10) Interview and Focus group.   In addition, the selection of a questionnaire or sampling deployment method and designing interface method may also affect the outcome of the evaluation of the website.

This paper presents the two approaches used in creating specialized web corpora of Croatian tourism in Japanese for their usage in building a specialized learners’ dictionary. Both approaches use the WebBootCat technology (Baroni et al. 2006, Kilgarriff et al. 2014) to automatically create specialized web corpora. The first approach creates the corpora from the selected seed words most relevant to the topic. The second approach specifies a number of web pages that cover tourism-oriented information on specified regions, cities, and sites in Croatia available in Japanese, which are then used for web corpora creation inside the Sketch Engine platform. Both approaches provide specialized web corpora small in size, but quite useful for lexical profiling in the specific field of tourism. In the process of dictionary creation, the second approach has proven to be especially useful for the selection of lexical items, while both approaches have proven to be highly useful for the exploration and selection of authentic examples from the corpora. The research exposes some shortcomings in Japanese language processing, such as errors in the lemmatization of some culturally specific terms and indicates the need to refine existing language processing tools in Japanese. The Japanese-Croatian bilingual learner’s dictionary (Srdanović 2018) is currently in the pilot phase and is being used and built by learners and teachers through the open-source dictionary platform Lexonomy (Mechura 2017). In addition to the fact that work on the bilingual dictionary is useful as a means for training students in language analysis and description using modern technologies (e.g. corpora, corpus query systems, dictionary editing platform), the dictionary is also important in educating new personnel capable of working in tourism using the Japanese language, which is strongly needed. In future, the same approach could be used for creating specialized corpora and dictionaries for Japanese and other language pairs.

Abstract: Nutritious and safe intake is a prerequisite for the growth and development of school-age children. Poor breakfast habits and snacks for school children that do not meet the requirements contribute significantly to the nutritional problems of school-age children. This is one of the priority health problems. Low achievement in the implementation of school children's nutrition programs has led to healthy breakfast and snack innovations workshops at one of the elementary schools in Sekarbela sub-district, Mataram city. The workshop participants included 50 people consisting of school-age children, parents, teachers, and canteen vendors. The workshop was guided by a nutritionist, and he explained the selection of nutritional intake, both through breakfast and snack. Also, participants were trained to practice a variety of healthy breakfast innovation menus. After the workshop, participants were able to practice and be actively involved in making a healthy breakfast innovation menu. The response of participants to the menu is quite good. After mentoring by a nutritionist, parents and teachers can solve the problems encountered. Cafeteria vendors get input regarding snacks supply after expert review. This workshop has been going well and has produced the results as targeted.Keywords: PJAS, healthy breakfast, workshop, school-age children.

A report is given of a behavioral group training of secondary school pupils to reduce test anxiety. After a brief description of trends in the treatment of test anxiety, the selection of the pupils, the methods of evaluation, and the treatment program are described. Training takes eight sessions plus homework assignments. Administration of (test) anxiety inventories was repeated. After treatment scores on test anxiety decreased significantly. Comparison of the test scores in the waiting-list control group with those of the trained group after training shows improvement at retest. At follow-up after 12 wk. decrease in anxiety in the trained group is even greater.

Abstract The use of in silico predictions for the assessment of bacterial mutagenicity under the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) M7 guideline is recommended when two complementary (quantitative) structure-activity relationship (Q)SAR models are used. Using two systems may increase the sensitivity and accuracy of predictions but also increases the need to review predictions, particularly in situations where results disagree. During the 4th ICH M7/QSAR Workshop held during the Joint Meeting of the 6th Asian Congress on Environmental Mutagens (ACEM) and the 48th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society (JEMS) 2019, speakers demonstrated their approaches to expert review using 20 compounds provided ahead of the workshop that were expected to yield ambiguous (Q)SAR results. Dr. Chris Barber presented a selection of the reviews carried out using Derek Nexus and Sarah Nexus provided by Lhasa Limited. On review of these compounds, common situations were recognised and are discussed in this paper along with standardised arguments that may be used for such scenarios in future.

ObjectiveMeasurement is an indispensable element of most quality improvement (QI) projects, but it is undertaken to variable standards. We aimed to characterise challenges faced by clinical teams in undertaking measurement in the context of a safety QI programme that encouraged local selection of measures.MethodsDrawing on an independent evaluation of a multisite improvement programme (Safer Clinical Systems), we combined a qualitative study of participating teams’ experiences and perceptions of measurement with expert review of measurement plans and analysis of data collected for the programme. Multidisciplinary teams of frontline clinicians at nine UK NHS sites took part across the two phases of the programme between 2011 and 2016.ResultsDeveloping and implementing a measurement plan against which to assess their improvement goals was an arduous task for participating sites. The operational definitions of the measures that they selected were often imprecise or missed important details. Some measures used by the teams were not logically linked to the improvement actions they implemented. Regardless of the specific type of data used (routinely collected or selected ex novo), the burdensome nature of data collection was underestimated. Problems also emerged in identifying and using suitable analytical approaches.ConclusionMeasurement is a highly technical task requiring a degree of expertise. Simply leveraging individual clinicians’ motivation is unlikely to defeat the persistent difficulties experienced by clinical teams when attempting to measure their improvement efforts. We suggest that more structural initiatives and broader capability-building programmes should be pursued by the professional community. Improving access to, and ability to use repositories of validated measures, and increasing transparency in reporting measurement attempts, is likely to be helpful.

Purpose This study aims to explore the character and attainment of an effective URL system by expanding the concept of URL normalization, originally connected to machine-reading access of web pages, to form a broader understanding of URL systematization that includes user-focused cognitive and practical elements. Design/methodology/approach A revised understanding of URL normalization will be used to critically analyzed URLs of main admissions pages from M1 universities, as designated by the Carnegie Foundation. Findings The study found that very few institutions implemented well-organized systems of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and redirects and that many included unintelligible and impractical URLs that would hinder the effective use of their websites. Practical implications A broader understanding of URL systematization will result in more effective website design. URLs must serve an indexical function pointing to a unique web resource, whatever the URL's format. However, URLs should also consider human usability issues and strive to be simple, short, communicable, intelligible and ultimately useful as part of social interactions. Poorly designed URLs create frustration, if not failure, by being difficult to use, confusing or interminable. An effective URL system should also include redirects to anticipate alternate, meaningful URLs that are different from the canonical path. The framework and recommendations arising from this study are applicable to many website structures. Originality/value The expanded understanding of the concept of URL normalization and subsequent evaluation principles can be used to assess the overall coherence and completeness of the website in general, thus improving website usability.

The article is an attempt to develop a synthetic conception of power based on Weber's, Parsons's and Foucault's writings. The aim is, first, to build a bridge between the so-called resource theories of power (Weber, Parsons) and the structural approach (Foucault) and, second, to do this in the form of a conception which would be usable on both macro- and micro-levels at the same time. Four theories are discussed: (1) the distributive approach (Weber); (2) the collective approach (Parsons); (3) the structural approach (Foucault); and (4) the neostructuralist approach (this article). It is argued that these approaches can be ordered on a scale on which the complexity of analysis increases as one moves from (1) to (4), and that the selection of an appropriate level of analysis in an empirical study is a practical issue relative to the aim of the study. The types of analyses characteristic of the more complex levels are illustrated by a discussion of the problem posed by Big Case Comparison in historical sociology (level 3) and everyday conversation (level 4), including comments on phenomenological sociology and conversation analysis.
