Quality / new thinking, reading in philosophical basis

The objective of the research is based on a material problem. It is the literal application of the concept of quality and the work of its mechanics without applying its function. This function is followed by behavior and thought which is renewed by the renewal of work, its type, form and management. Here we can say that the positive thinker is productive in all its conditions, and this can only be achieved through the perpetuation of thought, knowledge and work in the spirit of wisdom, "the search for existence" - the purpose of the surrounding existence (God) - the speaking person is the wise intellect, He gradually develops into the work of meditation, the research tool, the questioning stage, and as a result philosophizes his existing environment. This contributes to the development of his personal skills, including the quality of his thinking, the formulation of his goals and their application, and thus achieving himself. In light of the above, the question arises: How can quality be a new thinking, and what is its philosophical basis? This research is determined by two arguments: The first topic deals with the theoretical references to the research variables. The second topic examines the quality of practical philosophical thinking / foundations in performance and application. Keywords: quality, new thinking, reading, its philosophical foundations.

South African Social Science and the Azanian Philosophical Tradition

This article discusses the contemporary history of South African social science in relation to the Azanian Philosophical Tradition. It is addressed directly to white scholars, urging introspection with regard to the ethical question of epistemic justice in relation to the evolution of the social sciences in conqueror South Africa. I consider the establishment of the professional social sciences at South African universities in the early twentieth century as a central part of the epistemic project of conqueror South Africa. In contrast, the Azanian Philosophical Tradition is rooted in African philosophy and articulated in resistance against the injustice of conquest and colonialism in southern Africa since the seventeenth century. It understands conquest as the fundamental historical antagonism shaping the philosophical, political, and material problem of ‘South Africa’. The tradition is silenced by and exceeds the political and epistemic strictures of the settler colonial nation state and social science.

The Four Pillars of Halal Crisis Management

This viewpoint paper is about how to prepare and respond to a halal crisis. Many companies are preparing for the wrong kind of crisis. Too many companies treat a halal issue and halal crisis as a foreign material problem, like finding metal or glass in food, for which a trade or public product recall is initiated with apology. Poorly managed halal crises hit the bottom line hard and can ultimately kill a company. Getting it right, on the other hand, can have its positive effects. Halal crises can also be an opportunity, although probably not experienced during a crisis itself, which could improve halal trust, Islamic values, and its network. This could strengthen a halal brand, sales, and company market share. However, this is only possible with the right actions and communication with a halal issue and crisis. Best practice halal crisis management is founded on four pillars: process, control, organisation, and information. This requires solid preparation and practice.

Problem-based Blended Learning Using Video Tutorial in Accordance with Student Ability

Blended learning as a teaching methodology has been widely used in the world of education. It can be used in practicum courses by combining several models so that students can more easily understand the material. Problem-based learning can be a means for students to be able to think critically. In this study, problem-based learning is combined with a video tutorial to form a blended learning model for computer programming practicum teaching that requires instructions and tutorials on the application usage as well as case studies. This model is also combined with the dissemination of material in the form of video tutorials and problem-based questions according to students’ ability. The ability of students was then measured from the workmanship of the question given at the beginning of the study. This type of research uses a modified version of the concept of Ibrahim and Nur. Data were collected through documents and via observations. The result of this study showed that a blended learning model helped in teaching practicum courses with a programming video tutorial containing instructions was uploaded on YouTube, where it was available for the students to re-refer the material if they were unable to understand it at the first attempt.

ABSTRACT This research is motivated by many students who lack the ability and willingness to learn, so learning is something difficult and boring, especially mathematics, and considers mathematics to be a lesson that is less useful in everyday life. One of the causes is a sense of boredom, difficulties and fears of students towards mathematics and the presumption of the uselessness of mathematics in everyday life, especially geometry and measurement material. In the end it weakens the creativity and independence of students in learning. The purpose of this study was to improve the mathematical problem solving abilities of the surrounding and wide-area quadrilateral in students of class VII A in 33 State Junior High School Semarang by applying "Golden Route" as one of the Math Trail designs for learning outside the classroom. On the "Math Trail" map or each exploration point of instruction students can form, discuss, and solve interesting mathematical problems. Math Trail activities can be done alone or in groups to work together to solve problems. This research is a classroom action research covering 4 steps: planning, actuating, observation, and reflecting. The results showed that the results of the class average tests in the first and second cycles had increased from 73.66 to 75.05 and the percentage of students who received a minimum score of 67 was 23 students (74.19)% to 27 students (87.10 %). These results indicate an increase in the ability of material problem solving using the circumference formula and square area in solving problems through the application of "EMAS Routes" as one of the Math Trail designs in a mathematics learning. Keywords: problem solving, math trail design.

A Predictive Non-Dimensional Scaling Law for the Plate Perforation of Several Aluminum Alloys by Fragment-Simulating Projectiles

An equation was previously-presented to predict the ballistic-limit velocity for the perforation of aluminum armor plates by fragment-simulating projectiles (FSP). The ballistic-limit equation was presented in terms of dimensionless parameters so that the geometric and material problem scales are identified. Previously published predictions and data for two different FSP projectile calibers (12.7 mm and 20 mm) and two different strength aluminum alloys show the scaling law to be accurate. In this paper we extend the same concept to several other alloys and show that this scaling law is predictive.
