The hospital is classified as very crowded because of the large number of inpatients or outpatients who consult at the Malahayati Islamic Hospital or the University of North Sumatra Hospital, both middle and upper-middle class. Because the density level of occupants in hospital buildings is high, it requires a fire ladder that meets the standards, how to apply the fire ladder reliability system and its future recommendations on the Malahayati Islamic Hospital building and the University of North Sumatra Hospital. This study aims to determine the application and analyze the level of reliability of fire stairs in hospital buildings.

Upon repatriation, many socio-psychological problems accompany the returnees to their home culture after spending a long time in the host culture. It is assumed that the returnees find no difficulty in re-adapting the life in their culture; however, many studies expound that re-adjustment in the home culture, particularly after spending a long time in another culture, is not an easy process, the returnees experience a re-entry or reversal cultural-shock. The main contention of this paper is to expound how Rihani and Salih attempt with a new literary trend to unify the eastern and western cultures in their fictional worlds. The paper underpins the idea of bridging the gaps between cultures and initiating a new era of mutual understanding and co-existence between the nations. It explicates how both novels present a different picture of the oriental world that contradicts with the orientalist and neo-orientalist depictions by projecting the Arabia culture and people equitably.

In this final thesis, the researcher will discuss about the acceptance of research title in nursery faculty in Andalas University as Prodi’s secretary consideration material which is submitted by the student. In all three selected alternatives, they must meet the requirement of these five criterias which consist of phenomenon, research object, research method, purpose and significance of the research, and finally reference. The result of this research is a qualified research based on previous criterias which is enlisted from priority through analytical hierarchy process analysis method. Thus, this decision support system is expected to be able to help Prodi’s secretary to easily determine alternative of the best title which will be submitted by the students to meet the expected qualification set by the university
