ERGONOMICS STUDY IN THE STRESS LEVEL AMONG ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY LINE WORKERS

Human and cognitive ergonomics become one of essential elements in industrial field nowadays due to employer concern on physical, spiritual and emotional of their workers. The need of industrial today required operator’s cognitive functions with less manual human control but in reality human judgement cannot be eliminate as there are various task that only can be perform by human. The objective of this study is to investigate the level of stress among Muslim electronics assembly line workers in electronic factories in Malaysia. The method used in this study is a survey questionnaire. The study is to compare the stress level between male and female, different ages of worker, years of working experience and task deliver in the plant to perform their duty and contribute to company. The tool administered is DASS 42 questions which distributed to the 360 worker from different level which is staffs and operators. Based on it, emWavePro device are used to test workers biofeedback performance in order to determine target persons for stress management module implementation. Workers performances in terms of productivity are measure after complete module implementation. The result may shows that workers that undergo this programed as a subjects improve their work performance by increasing productivity. Workers may came to work with positive attitude that impact positive environment to the plant. Using DASS, 319 of electronics assembly line workers are evaluated and from that 18 workers are identified with extremely severe of depression, anxiety and stress. From 18 workers, 61.1% are come from age between 19 and 29 years old with working experience less than 5 years. These 18 workers had potential to influence others that can disturb positive environment on the plant and change it to negative environment. Cognitive ergonomics is one of important elements to be focus as it impact workers performance every day. Not only physical, spiritual and emotional of the workers also contribute to the plant achievement in general.

PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DEMONSTRASI TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR TEKNIK PERAKITAN ELEKTRONIKA (TPE) KELAS X TEKNIK AUDIO VIDEO DI SMK NEGERI 5 PADANG

The problem in this study is the low learning outcomes achieved by students on the subjects of Electronics Assembly Techniques which is below the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) set a school that is 75. This is presumably because they are learning is often used during the learning direct model is applied directly proven yet effective.The purpose of this research is to reveal how much influence the Demonstrasion learning model to study the results of class X TAV students on subjects Electronics Assembly Techniques (TPE).This research is an experimental study. The sample were students of class X TAV at SMKN5 Padang Academic Year 2014 / 2015.Class experiment is treated using Demonstrasion Learning Model and the control group is a class that uses the direct teaching model.The data is taken from the test results in the form of student practicum. Data were analyzed manually to test for normality, homogenity testing, and hypothesis testing. The research test result obtained value of average student which using model demonstrasion is 80,06 while student who use learning direct model lower is 71,60 with the percentage effect is 11,81%. The result of the calculation hypothesis at significance level α = 0.05 was found that t count> t table is 2,36>2,048. The results of these tests give an interpretation that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, this means that on average significantly experimental class learning outcomes greater than the average control class learning outcomes. Key Words: Demonstrasion Learning Model, Learning Direct, Control and Exsperiment

‘Nimble Fingers’ in Electronic Music: Rethinking sound through neo-colonial labour

How can historians of electronic music address the factory labour of the global underclass of women building electronics used in sound technologies? How can we speak to the repetitive work of women who are racially and sexually stereotyped as having ‘nimble fingers’, being ‘detail oriented’ and ‘obedient’? Although women workers in electronics assembly are already de facto entangled in contemporary sound production, scholars have yet to enfold their lives and labour into histories of electronic music. I situate electronic sound technologies since the 1960s in the contexts of the global division of labour and the intimate disciplining of women’s bodies, and investigate the discursive fallout of transnational subcontracting in the electronics industry. I argue that rethinking the category ‘women in electronic music’ is a necessary step for sound studies and musicology, and I call for a new disciplinary understanding of electronic sound and audio as fundamentally neo-colonial.
