Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) are expected to show competitive performance in order to reflect the accountability of taxpayers’ money. Therefore, this study is an attempt to assess the status of the current level of organizational learning orientation among the Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia. This study collected primary data based on a set of questionnaire survey among 134 executives and managers of GLCs in Malaysia. The data were collected based on opinions of the ten factors of organizational learning practices by using the five-point Likert scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Further, the reliability of the data was tested using Cronbach’s alpha test, the validity of the data was tested by checking the normality test through skewness and kurtosis, and the consistency of the data was tested using factor analysis. On an average, 74.6% of the respondents agreed that they focus on these factors of organizational learning. The federal owned GLCs place more emphasis on organizational learning than the state owned GLCs. This study suggests improving the practices of organizational learning within the GLCs in Malaysia by emphasizing on the consideration that employee learning is an investment rather than an expense, employees should view themselves as partners in charting the direction of the organization, employees should not be afraid of critically reflecting on the shared assumptions about the ways of managing the organization, and by analyzing unsuccessful organizational endeavours and communicating the lessons learned widely among the employees.

Poverty is an inability to meet basic needs measured by expenditure, including rice consumption. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), as much as 95% of Indonesia's population consumes rice as the main food, with an average rice consumption of 102 kg/person/ year (BPS, 2013). Furthermore, BPS stated that almost 1/4 of them or around 25.95 million people were included in the category of the poor population as of March 2018. So the government made a policy to tackle the problem through the program of giving poor family rice (Raskin), namely subsidized rice assistance to households poor. However, in the implementation of the Raskin program, there was a deviation of around 40% of Indonesia's population with a middle-upper social-economic status receiving Raskin and 12.5% ​​of the population with a socio-economic status upon receiving Raskin. Therefore this study aims to analyze the significant factors that affect the status of rice in poor families using binary logistic regression analysis. The location of the study was conducted in the District of West Langsa because the district was one of the districts receiving the most Raskin in the City of Langsa. The data used in this study are primary data and secondary data. The results of the analysis show that the factors that influence Raskin's acceptance status are the level of education, type of floor, type of fuel, expenditure for food, and frequency of purchasing new clothes. The binary logistic regression model obtained is

Meanwhile, the government more incentive to make efforts to make Japan's rise from the stagnant economic situation after the economic recession since the 1990s. One of them by employing returning senior workers who have retired. The age of workers in Japan's pensions set by the government at the age of 60 years and the government is trying to raise the limit. Policies readmission of senior workers in the manufacturing companies of Japan after retirement is the type of work contract system. With a logical consequence of the creation of a number of different conditions with the conditions of the workers before retirement. The most prominent difference is the condition of the status of work and reduced the salary given up to 50% as a result of the worker's status has changed. However, there are still some conditions such as the number of hours worked, the same job. And on the part of senior workers have a good respon to their readmission policies in the company to support the employment sector in Japan.

This research demonstrates how the orientation to organizational learning affects the innovation and performance of the Colombian micro, small, and medium (MSMEs) enterprises, based on a study with 403 Colombian MSMEs, pretending that the results allow the government sector and the academy to design strategies maintain or improve, as appropriate, innovative and learning practices within these organizations. Two hypotheses were raised: 1) learning orientation positively influences business performance and 2) learning orientation positively influences business innovation. The two hypotheses are demonstrated after performing a multiple regression analysis and a broadly significant relationship was evidenced both between the orientation to learning and innovation and in each of the dimensions that make it up: innovation in products/services, processes, and management.

The increasing price of urban land causes the government difficulty in providing land for development. The status of land tenure will be more legal with the certificate as proof of ownership and ownership of land rights. Presidential Regulation no. 65 year 2006 stated that the procurement of land for the implementation of development for public interest by the government carried out by way of disposal or surrender of land rights. Article 18 of the UUPA explains that the revocation of a person's right to the land owned by the government shall only be exercised if the land is used for the common good including the interests of the nation and the state and the common interest of the people, the rights of the land may be revoked, compensating feasible as regulated by law. This study aims to find out how the implementation of land consolidation for the construction of By Pass in Bukittinggi City. To find out the obstacles faced by the local government of Bukittinggi city in the settlement. This research uses sociological juridical method, primary data in research is interview to informant and second data is library materials. The results show that the implementation of land consolidation of By Pass of Bukittinggi city has not been implemented maximally because the community has not fully understand the purpose and objectives of the implementation of land consolidation so that the people do not wholeheartedly implement it. Constraints faced in the completion of land consolidation for by-pass included the lack of public knowledge about land consolidation, the objections of some communities in handing over their consolidated land to the government and Most of the consolidated lands are customary soils together so it is a bit difficult in decision maker.

Territorial unity (land) as one of the elements froming a customary law community, is one of the important elements related to certain regulations in terms of ownership, control and management as well as the process of transfering. This often creates problems, such as what happened on Tidore Island as the central area of the Tidore Sultanate. Hale Gimalaha, which was the land given by the  holder of GimalahaTomayouin the Government Structure of Tidore Sultanate, turned out to be a certificate of ownership by one of the GimalahaTomayou. The status of customary land which is converted into ownership rights will be the mainfocus of this research. The method used is socio-legal research using primary data through in-depth interviews with competent parties and the community in Folarora Village, Tidore District, Tidore Islands City, as well as historical and sociological descriptions. So it can be concluded that the main obstacle if problems arise with regard to customary land lies in evidence. Customary land ownership in the Tidore customary law community generally doesn’t have a written (formal) proof of ownership. Communities in obtaining ownership rights over customary land in accordance with applicable customary rules and based on information from simo-simo. The problem with the Hale Gimalaha, thatGimalahaTomayoumade a certificate of ownership, so there is an alternative solution through the Imperial Court Institution or internal root by GimalahaTomayou. These problems lasted for a long time and occurred among the generations of GimalahaTomayou, eventually reluctance to resolve the conflict because people believed a magical imbalance would arise when the problems that had first returned to the surface.

ABSTRACT   Banana fruit is a commodity that contributes a great value to both national and international fruit production achievement. The government through the National Standardization Agency establishes standards to maintain the quality of bananas. The purpose of this Project is to classify the stages of maturity of Ambon banana base on the color index using Naïve Bayes method in accordance with the regulations of SNI 7422:2009. Naive Bayes is used as a method in the classification process by comparing the probability values generated from the variable value of each model to determine the stage of Ambon banana maturity. The data used is the primary data image of 105 pieces of Ambon banana. By using 3 models which consists of different variables obtained the same greatest average accuracy by using the 2nd model which has 9 variable values (r, g, b, v, * a, * b, entropy, energy, and homogeneity) and the 3rd model has 7 variable values (r, g, b, v , * a, entropy and homogeneity) that is 90.48%.   Keywords: banana maturity, classification, image processing     ABSTRAK   Buah pisang merupakan komoditas yang memberikan kontribusi besar terhadap angka produksi buah nasional maupun internasional.
