Incorporating "Kansei Engineering" Approach on Traditional Textiles -A Proposed Method for Identifying Multi-Sensorial Experiences on the Kansei Attributes of Traditional Textiles-

( Achmad Syarief ) 복식문화학회 2012 服飾文化硏究 Vol.20 No.1

When people are asked to described certain textiles, they frequently refer to the expressions of its properties such as attractiveness, uniqueness, shininess, robustness, comfortability, and so on. It shows how senses play important role in it. Human employs their senses when interacting with textiles, most notably visual and tactile/ haptic to absorb its expressive properties. Yet, our sensorial experiences may amplify when interacting with those of traditional textiles, such as batik, as we can entice sensations when seeing its motifs and patterns, smelling its materials, and touching its surfaces. The multi-sensorial importance of seeing, smelling, and touching in the interaction with and experience of textiles suggests that one should address senses in a systematic way when evaluating users` perception on traditional textiles. To address this issue, the paper proposes the incorporation of Kansei Engineering (KE) approach for identifying multi-sensorial experiences on the expressive properties of traditional textiles, using batik as a case of study. KE approach address person`s psychological understanding when observing things in order to analyze and study the inherent relationship between person`s perceptual knowledge and objects evaluated. This paper outlines the use of KE approach in correlating sensorial perceptions when experience with traditional textiles and ultimately expose users` preferences toward them. Background of KE approach on textiles will be explored and its application for the multi-sensorial investigation of traditional textiles will be discussed.

MAKING THE STRATEGIC PLAN WORK IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT: A CASE STUDY OF STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION IN YOGYAKARTA SPECIAL PROVINCE (YSP)

ACHMAD NURMANDI,EKO PRIYO PURNOMO 한국행정학회 2011 International Review of Public Administration Vol.16 No.2

The term “strategic plan” is a new type of approach for the Indonesian government that has been introduced since 1999 based on Law No. 22/1999. This essay examines the implementation of strategic plans in Yogyakarta Special Province (YSP). The visions and missions of the YSP are investigated as a basis of analysis. Using qualitative data and a case study method, the research also conducted in-depth interviews with bureaucrats in YSP. First, YSP attempted to provide the strategic plans to be followed by government officers in their activities according to strategic design and planning school approaches. Second, most local government agencies have poor understanding of their visions and missions. Third, because of the zero-sum game effect, it was difficult to attain the goals and missions. Fourth, the strategic plan has been implemented but not properly executed in the strategic zone, nor did it support the reaching of its missions.

Achmad Widodo,Bo-Suk Yang(양보석),Soo-Mok Lee(이수목) 한국동력기계공학회 2006 한국동력기계공학회 학술대회 논문집 Vol.- No.-

This paper concerns of establishing the intelligent system for faults detection and classification of induction motor using wavelet support vector machine (W-SVM). Support vector machine (SVM) is well known as an intelligent classifier with strong generalization ability. Application of non-linear SVM using kernel function is widely used for multi-class classification procedure. In this paper, building kernel function using wavelet is introduced and applied for SVM multi-class classifier. Moreover, the feature vectors for training classification routine are obtained from feature extraction and reduction using component analysis via independent component analysis (ICA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Hence, a relatively new intelligent faults detection and classification method called W-SVM is established. This method is used to induction motor for faults detection based on vibration signal. The results show that this method can well classify and separate each condition of faults in induction motor based on experimental work. Finally, it can contribute the intelligent faults detection system in the future.

The paper aims to determine: (1) model of cooperation between industries and vocational high school on vocational education and training program especially in the field of heavy equipment (2) contribution by each party to the implementation of the cooperation. The paper was written based on the result of a survey study that was completed on the parties involved and interested in the implementation of vocational education and training program especially in the field of heavy equipment in Indonesia. The paper presents that: (1) The pattern of relationship between vocational and industrial cooperation if that viewed from Vocational Schools side are: (a) fully collaborate (full partnership) in carrying out cooperation programs like peer-to-peer relationship and (b) partial partnership that the Vocational School is in collaboration with some of the industries to carry out some activities of educational programs. Cooperative activities undertaken by the industry is only one aspect of the activity that is part of the overall educational program. (2) Each party has a positive contribution in accordance with the competence and scope of work of each institution in order to achieve the best vocational education and training implementation.

Socialization, Service and Knowledge Matter with Taxpayer Compliance

Achmad MAQSUDI,Tri RATNAWATI,Slamet RIYADI 한국유통과학회 2021 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.8 No.6

Tax collections from land and building (axes (LBT) have particularly suffered in East Java and as a result, the provincial government is still looking at a big shortfall in tax revenue. East Java is facing a silent fiscal crisis owing to a shortfall in tax revenues, and the government’s budget suggests it may have grossly underestimated the problem. This research was conducted to prove the effect of taxpayer awareness as a mediator (mediating/intervening variable) on the impact of tax socialization, service quality, and taxpayers’ knowledge on taxpayer compliance. The sampling technique used is the consecutive method by taking a sample of 400 taxpayers in East Java province, Indonesia. Using the help of AMOS software version 26, the statistical analysis method used is the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model, with the Generalized Least Square Estimation Parameters. Based on the research results, tax socialization, service quality, and taxpayer knowledge have a positive impact on taxpayer compliance directly. Furthermore, there is an indirect positive impact relationship between tax socialization, service quality, and tax information on taxpayer compliance through taxpayer awareness as a mediator, but only on a small scale. Tax authorities are expected to increase the taxpayers’ awareness, through increasing tax socialization, service quality, and taxpayer knowledge, so that taxpayers are more compliant in paying LBT.

Achmad Kemal Harzif,Amalia Shadrina,Edward Christopher Yo,Nia Reviani,Andon Hestiantoro 대한산부인과학회 2023 Obstetrics & Gynecology Science Vol.66 No.1

ObjectiveRapid population growth has been a problem in Indonesia for several decades. One of the reasons for thisphenomenon is limited knowledge of reproductive health and proper contraception methods. The use of mobilephones and the internet has made it easier to access health information. This study aimed to determine the influenceof the internet, mobile phone use, and sociodemographic factors on Indonesian women’s knowledge of and attitudestoward contraception. MethodsThe present study used secondary data from the 2017 Indonesian Health and Demographics Survey. Altogether,49,627 women participated in this study. Descriptive statistics were performed, and bivariate analysis using the chisquaredtest was performed to measure the association between variables. ResultsKnowledge about the ovulation cycle and contraception was positively associated with mobile phone ownership,frequent internet use, higher wealth index, reading printed media, listening to the radio, watching the television,higher educational level, and older age. The use and intention of contraception were positively associated withlower wealth index, watching television at least once a week, primary-secondary educational level, rural residence,and older age. Thus, acquisition of knowledge does not necessarily translate into implementation of contraceptivemethods, since there might be certain digital and social barriers. ConclusionAccess to the internet and mobile phones as well as certain sociodemographic factors have contributed to an increase inwomen’s knowledge about contraception, but not necessarily in their knowledge regarding the use of contraception.

Achmad Sani SUPRIYANTO,Agus Eko SUJIANTO,Vivin Maharani EKOWATI 한국유통과학회 2020 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.7 No.11

This study aimed to investigate the influence of spiritual leadership on innovative work behavior and the effect of knowledge sharing on job crafting. Furthermore, the roles of knowledge sharing as a mediator for the impact of spiritual leadership on innovative work behavior, and job crafting as a mediator for the relationship between variables, were also examined. This research employed quantitative analysis, including the PLS-SEM approach; SMART-PLS, a measurement and structural equation model was employed to explain the relationship between variables, and the effect of mediation. The population study consisted of all lecturers at the Faculty of Economics and Faculty of Economics and Business at the PTKIN in East Java, Indonesia, comprising 220 randomly-selected samples. The result showed spiritual leadership does not directly influence innovative work behavior, while knowledge sharing directly affects job crafting. The findings indicated knowledge sharing mediates the impact of spiritual leadership on innovative work behavior, and the role of job crafting as a mediator for the relationship between variables was accepted. Therefore, this research confirms a positive influence of knowledge sharing on job crafting, and indicates both factors play an important role in mediating between variables, and are important for lecturers’ innovative work behavior.

This study aims were: 1) to know the direct effect of Islamic Leadership on Islamic Performance, 2) to know the direct effect of Empowerment on Innovative Work Behavior, 3) to test the role of Empowerment as mediation the effect of Islamic Leadership on Islamic Performance, 4) to test the role of Innovative Work Behavior as mediation the effect of Islamic Leadership on Islamic Performance. The population was all employees of Bank Jatim Syariah at Surabaya Center Office. It was consisted of Bank Jatim Syariah at Surabaya Branch Office and Kediri Branch Office. Samples were selected by proportional random sampling and data was analyzed by PLS (Partial Least Square). The study had four findings. First, Islamic Leadership has a significant effect on Islamic Performance. Second, Empowerment has a significant effect on Innovative Work Behavior. Third, Empowerment mediates the effect of Islamic Leadership on Islamic Performance. This condition illustrates that employees must be empowered and involved in all organizational processes to improve performance. Forth, Innovative Work Behavior cannot mediate the effect of Islamic Leadership on Islamic Performance. Innovative Work Behavior arises from the individual. It was the individuals desire to introduce their ideas to a group or organization where they work.
