Explosive Ordnance Disposal

The need to clean almost 1 million landmines on the Turkish border poses a great challenge to the Turkish military, both as a safety and a feasibility issue. In order to achieve this task, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robot has been designed and a prototype has been manufactured. The robot has the capability of working in task space. The uniqueness of this research is that the design criteria and the prototype procedure is explained in detail. After the testing of the prototype, the research results are concluded—which functions the future EOD robots should have and how these functions can improve the performance and ease of use of this type of military robots. Autonomy, use of an advisory system, and automatic camera manipulation can improve the future EOD robots dramatically.

This article discusses the predictors of Ghanaian cocoa producers’ intention to continue adopting a recommended cocoa beanfermentation technology in the future. The analyses is carried out within the framework of the theory of planned behaviour.Three hundred and twenty-one cocoa producers were interviewed. Consistent with literature, attitudes, subjective norms andpast behaviour were significant predictors of fermentation intentions. Positive attitude relate to beliefs about ease of use oftechnologies and existence of non-financial rewards. Negative attitudes relate to lack of direct financial rewards. PurchasingClerks, Chief Farmers and society at large were found to be the salient social referents who shape producers’ fermentationintentions. Recommendations included improving implementation of current producer incentive regimes, promoting trust betweenproducers and purchasing clerks and strengthening producer association to increase the sphere of influence of the Chief Farmers.

The purpose of this research is to explain the analysis of the influence of work discipline and work motivation of Jambi employees (CV. Adeeva Construction Study) simultaneously and partially this type of research used in this research is associative research which aims to determine the relationship between two or more variables. The variables referred to in this study are variable X1 (Work Motivation), variable X2 (Work Discipline) and Y (Performance). The results of the study based on the results of multiple linear regressions proved that the variables of Performance, Discipline, and Motivation had a significant effect on Employee Performance (CV. Adeeva Construction Study). Based on the research results that are expected to be input, PT Adeeva should make performance performance a major part of the company so that the company's activities can run even better. And the need for motivation to all employees to work better in the future by giving rewards to employees who excel in order to motivate all employees to work better.

Bazaars are important topic in historical and also modern market approach, as one of the basic marketing channals for sale of agriculture products. Perception of bazaar markets in the future is not real without usage of integrated marketing communications in comuniaction with costumers. IMC enable for bazaars to make an efficient contact with consumers and other public, for the purpise of fullfiling busines aims of bazaars on market. Research results show that the efficiency of bussines is manifested in tactical integrated marketing communications. By experience method and methods of marketing research, we came to conclusion that integrated marketing communications may promote bazaars on the market using sinergy of different instruments. The conclusion is that IMK are much cheaper in comparison to mass comunications and ti is possible to promote bazaars on the market and stress their social role, using IMK.

This study focuses on examining how Japanese work culture patterns respect processes, not just the results of their work. The aim is to uncover the principles and evidence that underlie the pattern of Japanese work culture that always respects the process and not only the results. This study uses philosophical methods, which are essential, comprehensive and normative analysis of the facts of life to try to unravel and explore the principles of existence of life, namely the ontological, epistemological and axiological principles. The ontological principle, describes the Japanese footing in conceptualizing the meaning, nature of life and life in the midst of the world's environment. The principle of epistemology describes the way the Japanese realize the concept of meaning and meaning of life in their world. The axiological principle describes the values that make the direction or purpose of life. The existence of the three principles of existence is interspersed and systemic. The research results formulated that ontologically, the Japanese in conceptualizing the meaning and meaning of their lives rely on Bushido's moral values (integrity, courage, generosity, respect for others, honesty and sincerity). Epistemologically, Japanese lifestyles describe ways of finding Ikigai in him. Axiologically, the goal of Japanese life is "Ikigai" which is the values of happiness, something that makes people move forward into the future. As a conclusion of the study, that the character of Japanese people who always respect the process, and not only the results is an epistemological pattern of life-based on Bushido values, to build an axiological framework containing Ikigai.

Increase Efficiency

In this paper, we discuss the grounding of the Royal Majesty, reconstructed from the perspective of the crew. The aim is particularly to understand the role of automation in shaping crew assessments and actions. Automation is often introduced because of quantitative promises that: it will reduce human error; reduce workload; and increase efficiency. But as demonstrated by the Royal Majesty, as well as by numerous research results, automation has qualitative consequences for human work and safety, and does not simply replace human work with machine work. Automation changes the task it was meant to support; it creates new error pathways, shifts consequences of error further into the future and delays opportunities for error detection and recovery. By going through the sequence of events that preceded the grounding of the Royal Majesty, we highlight the role that automation plays in the success and failure of navigation today. We then point to future directions on how to make automated systems into better team players.

The Future

Article 1 paragraph 3 Indonesian Constitution 1945 said, “Indonesia is a state of law”, but current regulatory conditions often occur disharmony and overlap between regulations. The concept of “omnibus law” becomes one of the breakthroughs to reorganize regulations which currently reaches 43.233 regulations from central to regional level. This article is a normative legal research and doctrinal reseacrh based on primary legal material (positive legal legislation and judge’s decision) and secondary (doctrines from books, research results). Based on research, the authors concluded that the concept of “omnibus law” is an excellent plan as “Main Facility of Regulatory Arrangement”, in order to minimize disharmony and overlapping regulations based on the UU No. 12/2011. Therefore, the drafting of the omnibus law concept of shall not be done in a hurry, so that later it won’t be overlapped and disharmony. Also, society participation is needed so it won’t cause contradiction in the future. Pasal 1 ayat (3) UUD NRI 1945 berbunyi, “Negara Indonesia adalah negara hukum”, namun saat ini kondisi regulasi peraturan yang banyak terjadi disharmoni dan tumpang tindih antar peraturan. Konsep “omnibus law” menjadi salah satu terobosan untuk menata kembali regulasi yang saat ini mencapai 43.233 peraturan perundang-undangan dari tingkat pusat hingga daerah. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif, yaitu penelitian doktrinal berdasarkan bahan hukum primer (hukum positif dan putusan hakim) dan sekunder (doktrin dalam buku-buku, hasil penelitian). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, peneliti berkesimpulan bahwa konsep “omnibus law“ merupakan rencana yang baik sebagai “Sarana Utama Penataan Regulasi”, agar meminimalisir terjadinya disharmoni dan tumpang tindih peraturan perundang-undangan sesuai UU No. 12 Tahun 2011. Kemudian, penyusunan konsep “omnibus law” sebaiknya tidak dilakukan secara terburu-buru agar nantinya kekuatan undang-undang yang dibuat tidak kembali tumpang tindih dan disharmoni, serta tetap melibatkan partisipasi masyarakat sehingga tidak menimbulkan pertentangan di masa mendatang.
