Selain itu sistem pembayaran transaksi yang dilakukan oleh kasir masih bersifat manual sehingga menyebabkan banyak waktu yang terbuang. Sistem yang masih manual dalam pengelolaan data menyebabkan kasir kesulitan dan membutuhkan waktu yang lama dalam mencari data produk, data pelanggan maupun data transaksi. Karena itu untuk mempermudah hal tersebut toko Citra MJ membuat pengolahan data dan pembuatan laporan administrasi sistem kasir, Toko Citra MJ memanfaatkan penggunaan teknologi salah satunya penggunaan teknologi komputer dengan membuat perancangan aplikasi program kasir untuk toko Citra MJ. Tujuan dari perancangan program ini adalah membantu kegiatan kasir dalam hal pengolahan data seperti pengolahan data produk, data pegawai, data transaksi, data pelanggan serta pembuatan laporan di toko MJ. Aplikasi program ini sementara ini di peruntukkan untuk kasir saja ke depannya tidak menutup kemungkinan mengembangkan menjadi aplikasi yang berbasis web. Sistem kasir ini menggunakan metode waterfall, yang mana metode ini dilakukan secara berurut mulai dari analisa, rancangan, pengkodean, pengujian sampai implementasi. Dalam perancangan program kasir di toko MJ bahasa pemrograman yang digunakan adalah java, database xampp dengan software pendukung adalah NetBeans IDE 8.1. Dengan melihat dari hasil pengujian yang menggunakan metode kuisioner diperoleh tngkat kepuasaan pengguna aplikasi program kasir sebesar 82,12 %, hal ini berarti bahwa pengguna sangat puas dengan aplikasi program kasir.

Where Citra Mj in its business process is still constrained in terms of data management. In addition, the payment system for transactions carried out by the cashier is still manual, causing a lot of wasted time. The system that is still manual in data management causes cashiers to have difficulty and takes a long time in finding product data, customer data and transaction data. Therefore, to make this easier, the Citra Mj store makes data processing and makes administrative reports for the cashier system, the Citra Mj store utilizes One of the uses of technology is the use of computer technology by designing a cashier program application for the Citra MJ store. The purpose of this program design is to assist cashier activities in terms of data processing such as product data processing, employee data, transaction data, customer data and report generation. This program application is currently intended for cashiers only, in the future it is possible to develop it into a web-based application. This cashier system uses the waterfall method, where this method is carried out sequentially starting from analysis, design, coding, testing to implementation. In designing the cashier program at the Mj store the programming language used is java, the xampp database with supporting software is NetBeans IDE 8.1. By looking at the test results using the questionnaire method, the level of user satisfaction of the cashier program application is 82.12%, this means that the user is very satisfied with the cashier program application.

ALTRUISM OR TRADE MOTIVE: WHAT DETERMINES CHINA’S FINANCIAL AID TO AFRICAN OIL EXPORTING COUNTRIES?

Indeed, China’s ascent is significantly changing the landscape in aid-donor and aid-recipient relationship for African countries, despite the changes, empirical studies on the determinant and motive is lacking. Therefore, this paper examines the determinants of China’s financial aid to oil/ minerals exporting African countries. By using China’s loan data obtained from the China Africa Research Initiative, Johns Hopkins University and UN-COMTRADE product data classified into oil/ minerals, agriculture and manufacturing, this study employs fixed effects, generalised least squares and Pesaran dynamic fixed effects to analyse the motives. The results indicate that oil/minerals are not the motives behind China’s aid to Africa. However, China’s aid is driven by its manufacturing exports, suggesting that aid may be tied to trade. Also, the institutional structure enhances more financial aid to Africa. The findings of this study serve as recommendations for policymakers to improve trade policies that will enhance the sustainability of Africa’s engagement with China.

Unit Sales and Price Effects of Preannounced Consumption Tax Reforms: Micro-level Evidence from European VAT

We study the effects of consumption tax changes on prices and unit sales of durables utilizing micro-level product data. The results show that tax rate changes are fully shifted into prices. An anticipated tax rate change causes a temporary shift in unit sales shortly before implementation, which is more than offset by adjustments upon and after implementation. If the tax rate increases by 1 percentage point, unit sales rise by 2.5 percent on average in the last month before implementation. The permanent effect is a drop in sales by 2 percent below their original level, implying relatively strong intertemporal substitution effects. (JEL H25, H31, E62, H24, D12, E21)

Implementasi Twitter Bootstrap dalam Pengembangan Aplikasi Web E-Commerce (Studi Kasus Toko Putra Reban Kendal)

<p><em>This study aims to apply twitter bootstrap in an e-commerce web so that the web display becomes more responsive, that is, it can provide a display according to the device used to access the web. The object of this research is the Putra Reban Store in Kendal which markets local art equipment and supplies, especially masks</em>.</p><p><em>The system development method used in this research is the Scrum method with stages including product backlog, sprint backlog, sprint and working increment. This method was chosen because it can save system development time and can transform a business that is difficult to measure into one that is easy to develop. The system is designed with 2 actors, namely admin and customer. Admin has access rights to manage product data, customer data, and order data, while customers have the right to access product data and make order transactions.</em></p><em>With this developed system, it is easier for Putra Reban Stores to market their products because product descriptions and product availability stocks can be informed more easily and accurately. With complete and accurate product information, it will also be easier for customers to make transactions.</em>

A semantic common model for product data in the water industry

The issue of interoperability in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry represents a challenge on a scale that spans across the project life cycle. This is predominant in the infrastructure sector that usually comprises a more versatile Operations and Maintenance (O&M) phase in comparison with the buildings sector. To this end, an important stage in the information life cycle is the asset information capture and validation during product procurement at the O&M phase. The water industry in the United Kingdom relies on Product Data Templates (PDTs) to fulfil such task, which is usually an error prone manual process. This paper presents an ongoing research, which investigates the application of Semantic Web Technologies (SWT) for improving product data exchange during product procurement at the O&M phase for the water industry in the United Kingdom (UK). Therefore, focus group sessions with industry experts were held to discuss current inefficiencies and solution requirements. Based on these results, a semantic common model named Asset Specification Ontology (ASO) was developed to capture and validate asset information during product procurement at the O&M phase. The common model (ontology) is based on available technologies, namely Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). This gives the advantage of semantically rich data which can be linked and queried in a meaningful way to facilitate the exchange and validation of water industry assets’ data. The uniqueness of this paper is manifested in the issue it tackles, as efficient product procurement, and hence, data exchange in the water industry is an industrial challenge that is seldom researched. Results from the focus group sessions showed that information exchange within the UK water industry is impeded due to the lack of structured and semantic data. However, for a robust semantic interoperability, there needs to be a robust semantic data infrastructure, which would require semantic mappings from standards to product properties, from standards to other standards, and from standards to dictionaries. These conclusions were further supported by the common model, which was created from existing schemas, standards, and dictionaries. Generally, this paper recommends a common model/product library for phase-specific product data exchange in the water industry.
