New Factors Affecting Productivity of the Software Factory

Productivity is very important because it allows organizations to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in their activities; however, it is affected by numerous factors. While these factors have been identified for over two decades, all of the previous works limited the software factory to the programming work unit and did not analyze other work units that are also relevant. 90% of a software factory's effort is absorbed by the software production component, 85% of which is concentrated in the efforts of the analysis and design, programming, and testing work units. The present work identifies three new factors that influence the software factory, demonstrating that the use of rules and events influences analysis & design, team heterogeneity negatively affects analysis and design and positively affects programming; and the osmotic communication affects programming. An empirical study on software factories in Peru, determined that 95% of the influence came from these factors, which corroborated as well that team size and trust within the team influences in software production.

PENGARUH MOTIVASI KERJA DAN KOMPENSASI TERHADAP KINERJA PEGAWAI

The main problem to be examined in this study is that there is still a lack of work motivation of honorary employees, as well as a lack of levels of compensation for temporary employees. So this study aims to determine whether work motivation and compensation affect the performance of honorary employees at the Infection Hospital Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso Jakarta. The sampling technique in this study uses non-probability sampling technique that is not all members of the population can be selected as samples. This technique is carried out because there is a large population of more than 100 respondents, so the number of samples is taken using Slovin formula and getting a population of 60. Analysis of the data used is multiple regression analalysis. The results of testing work motivation and compensation have a positive and significant influence on the performance of honorary employees at the Infection Hospital Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso Jakarta.

Design for Testability of High-Speed Advance Multipliers

An efficient design for testability (DFT) has been a major thrust of area for today's VLSI engineers. A poorly designed DFT would result in losses for manufacturers with a considerable rework for the designers. BIST (built-in self-test), one of the promising DFT techniques, is rapidly modifying with the advances in technology as the device shrinks. The increasing complexities of the hardware have shifted the trend to include BISTs in high performance circuitry for offline as well as online testing. Work done here involves testing a circuit under test (CUT) with built in response analyser and vector generator with a monitor to control all the activities.

Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan, Budaya Organisasi, dan Lingkungan Kerja Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Melalui Motivasi pada PDAM Tirta Mayang Kota Jambi

In every organization both government and private, human is an important asset in an effort to achieve the goals that have been determined. Leadership style, organizational culture, work motivation and performance of employees who reside within the organization need to be organized in order to achieve organizational goals. Style leadership, organizational culture and work environment and motivation is one of several factors that can affect employee performance. This study aims to test and analyze these variables on employee performance PDAM Tirta Mayang City Jambi. The study was conducted by using path analysis using SPSS version 22.0 in analyzed data. The test results showed that the hypothesis of leadership style, organizational culture and motivation have positive and significant influence on performance, and testing work environment hypothesis have negative and insignificant effect on employee performance of PDAM Tirta Mayang Jambi City.

Independent Work of Pupils at the “The World Around US” Lessons

The article discusses the organization of independent testing work of younger schoolchildren in the study of the subject “The World Around Us”. The authors discuss the implementation of the possibility of using different types of independent learning activities to clarify and systematize knowledge, their application in non-standard situations, improve universal learning activities, as well as the development of self-monitoring and self-assessment of students.

RILEM TC 247-DTA round robin test: mix design and reproducibility of compressive strength of alkali-activated concretes

The aim of RILEM TC 247-DTA ‘Durability Testing of Alkali-Activated Materials’ is to identify and validate methodologies for testing the durability of alkali-activated concretes. To underpin the durability testing work of this committee, five alkali-activated concrete mixes were developed based on blast furnace slag, fly ash, and flash-calcined metakaolin. The concretes were designed with different intended performance levels, aiming to assess the capability of test methods to discriminate between concretes on this basis. A total of fifteen laboratories worldwide participated in this round robin test programme, where all concretes were produced with the same mix designs, from single-source aluminosilicate precursors and locally available aggregates. This paper reports the mix designs tested, and the compressive strength results obtained, including critical insight into reasons for the observed variability in strength within and between laboratories.

“Fighting the Good Fight”: Why Do Public Defenders Remain on the Job?

In this article, we ask why public defenders remain on the job despite a number of unique and testing work-related challenges. To answer this question, we analyze original data collected through 87 semistructured interviews with public defenders from government, nonprofit, and appointed counsel systems across the United States. Participants explicated a set of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations salient to their decision to remain in public defense: interacting with clients, defending the Constitution, fighting social inequality, pursuing personal values, appreciating camaraderie with colleagues, and earning public sector benefits. We discuss how our findings relate to prior research, identify directions for future studies, and tentatively engage policy implications.
