PERAN KANTOR URUSAN AGAMA (KUA) DALAM MENINGKATKAN KESADARAN MUALAF DALAM BERWAKAF (STUDI KASUS KELURUHAN BAHONTULA KECAMATAN PETASIA KABUPATEN MOROWALI UTARA)

This study aims to explain the role of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in increasing the awareness of converts to waqf. Because, starting from the researcher's concern about the low awareness of converts to waqf, as the researchers know, the majority of converts in North Morowali Regency, precisely in Bahontula Village, Petasia District, are people who can be classified as high-income people. However, the relatively low awareness of converts to the importance of waqf causes these converts to be reluctant to do waqf. This study uses a qualitative descriptive study. The method used in this research is a method with data collection techniques carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study explain two things, first; the role of the Petasia Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in providing guidance in terms of waqf to converts by providing direct guidance to converts, especially in terms of waqf. Second; Obstacles faced by the Petasia Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in providing religious guidance, especially in terms of endowments for converts in Bahontula Village, Petasia District, North Morowali Regency. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) dalam meningkatkan kesadaran muallaf dalam berwakaf. Sebab, berawal dari keprihatinan peneliti terhadap rendahnya kesadaran muallaf dalam berwakaf sebagaimana yang peneliti ketahui mayoritas mualaf di Kabupaten Morowali Utara tepatnya di Kelurahan Bahontula Kecamatan Petasia, merupakan masyarakat yang dapat digolongkan sebagai masyarakat berpenghasilan tinggi. Namun kesadaran muallaf yang relatif rendah akan pentingnya wakaf menyebabkan para muallaf tersebut enggan untuk berwakaf. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskripsi kualitatif. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode dengan teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan dua hal, pertama; peran Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) Petasia dalam memberikan pembinaan dalam hal wakaf kepada para muallaf dengan cara memberikan pembinaan secara langsung kepada para muallaf, khususnya dalam hal Wakaf. Kedua; hambatan-hambatan yang dihadapi Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) Petasia dalam memberikan pembinaan keagamaan khususnya dalam hal Wakaf kepada para muallaf di Kelurahan Bahontula Kecamatan Petasia Kabupaten Morowali Utara.

Enhancing Self-Administered Questionnaire Response Quality Using Code of Conduct Reminders

A key challenge for self-administered questionnaires (SaQ) is ensuring quality responses in the absence of a marketing professional providing direct guidance on issues as they arise for respondents. While numerous approaches to improving SaQ response quality have been investigated including validity checks, interactive design, and instructional manipulation checks, these are primarily targeted at situations where expected responses are of a factual nature or stated preferences. These interventions have not been evaluated in scenarios that require higher levels of engagement and judgment from respondents. While professional marketers are guided by codes of conduct, there is no equivalent code of conduct for SaQ respondents. This is particularly salient for SaQ that require higher levels of reflection and judgment, since in the absence of professional guidance, respondents rely more on their individual ethical ideologies and experience, leaving SaQ responses potentially devoid of the standards that normally set the expectations around data quality for marketing professionals. As marketing professionals are unable to provide guidance directly in a SaQ context, the approach used in this study is to offer varying levels of professional marketing guidance indirectly through specific codes of conduct reminders that are easily consumable by SaQ participants. We demonstrate that reminders and ethical ideologies moderate the relationship between the participant’s experience with SaQ and compliance with a code of conduct. Specifically, SaQ respondents produce fewer code of conduct infractions when receiving reminders than the control group, and this improves even more when the reminders coincide with the SaQ task. The paper concludes with implications for theory and practice.

Spatial scales, patterns, and positivity trends of SARS-CoV-2 pandemics in mass rapid antigen testing in Slovakia

We study geographical epidemic scales and patterns and positivity trends of SARS-CoV-2 pandemics in mass antigen testing in Slovakia in 2020. The observed test positivity was exponentially distributed with a long scale exponential spatial trend, and its characteristic correlation length was approximately 10 km. Spatial scales also play an important role in test positivity reduction between two consecutive testing rounds. While test positivity decreased in all counties, it increased in individual municipalities with low test positivity in the earlier testing round in a way statistically different from a mean-reversion process. Also, non-residents testing influences the mass testing results as test positivity of non-residents was higher than of residents when testing was offered only in municipalities with the highest positivity in previous rounds. Our results provide direct guidance for pandemic geographical data surveillance and epidemic response management.

A Marketable Leadership Strategy in Service Business; Case Study at KBIHU Nurul Haramain Kraksaan Probolinggo

Destination Marketing: Optimizing Resource Allocation Using Modern Portfolio Theory

Despite the significant contribution that tourism generates for national economic health, the tourism industry is challenged by seasonal and periodic volatility in arrivals. This volatility causes inefficiencies in the allocation of a destination’s resources. Policy makers and operators prefer a steady and constant inflow of tourists. Though prior studies have applied a portfolio optimization approach to inbound tourism flows, this study is the first to consider the destination’s marketing budget and each tourism markets’ heterogeneous marketing expenditure–demand elasticity. Our model provides destination marketing organizations with direct guidance as to how to allocate their marketing budget to facilitate portfolio profiles that are efficient from a risk-reward perspective, and that are attainable given budget constraints and known marketing expenditure–demand elasticity patterns. Using Tourism Research Australia International Visitor Survey data, we find that variability in tourism fluctuations can be reduced and inbound tourism numbers/spending significantly increased by implementing smarter (data-driven) marketing budget allocations.

THE MODELS OF AUTO TARGETING STRIKE UAV AT THE MOVING TARGET

A special kind of use of UAVs as transport is their use to deliver the destruction means to the target on the battlefield, i.e. as strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), capable to inflict missile and bomb strikes on the enemy. Of particular interest are such drones, which do not require constant aiming at the target by the flight operator (ground pilot) with the help of a video transmitting system, but are targeted independently. Such UAVs have onboard a target sighting sensor (coordinator), with which the onboard control system determines the angular position of the target relative to the UAV. It is necessary to determine the most optimal targeting algorithms to be used in onboard control systems. UAVs due to the successful combination of cheap goods, technological availability and availability of other technical indicators (load capacity, efficiency and duration of flight, maneuverability) can be used as vehicles for cargo delivery. For example, UAVs are used to deliver ammunition and medicine to victims. The mechanism of the primary notification to the on-board control system of the UAV of the coordinates of the target to be hit, ie the task of "primary targeting", remains not completely solved by the technical and organizational task when using strike UAVs. Targeting methods using the on-board video broadcast system and direct commands of the ground pilot require, firstly, the installation of appropriate payload on board with an understanding of the loss of this equipment in combat use of UAVs, and secondly, effective avoidance of radio suppression by the enemy. The article presents the results of modeling with the help of Simulink models of the processes of guidance of a strike UAV with targeting on a moving aim by two methods: direct guidance and dynamic bias. The trajectories of UAV flights during diving to the target were obtained. The changes in the main working parameters during the guidance process were obtained as well. The conclusion about the advantage of the method of dynamic bias is made.
