The application provides contents related to latest tourism information, favorite attraction spots/points of interest, or offers from some service providers. However, not all areas in Indonesia have their own app for promoting local tourism. In this research, a mobile tourism application is designed and built for Samosir Regency, the regency that is in North Sumatera Province of Indonesia. The application has functionalities that are proposed based on taxonomy of tourism mobile application. The application implements Google Map Application Program Interface (API) to provide location-based service for users. Moreover, the data used for the mobile application is fetched from server using web service. Social media is also integrated to the system to provide better experience for the users and for sharing tourism information.","PeriodicalId":302732,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Technology Management and Emerging Technologies (ISTMET)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128249182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study began by identifying those potential factors to be used in the assessment based on a review of the previous studies, the Hospital Accreditation, Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, and SERVQUAL standards. Those potential factors were then classified based on four Balanced Scorecard perspectives: financial, customer, internal processes, and learning and growth, so as to establish a research framework. A questionnaire was developed and used to prioritize these potential factors, divided into five sections, as follows: (1) primary data on the hospitals, (2) primary data on the respondents, (3) details of the potential factors and definitions of relevant terms, (4) a comparison of the factors in accordance with AHP, and (5) recommendations. The questionnaire consisted of 234 questions and was tested for validity by experts prior to being distributed to a sample group, one comprised of executives, supervisors and operating officers across three hospitals in Thailand. There were a total of eight respondents. The data from the questionnaires was analyzed using AHP to determine each factor weight. Then, Pareto analysis was used to prioritize and select those factors critical to the lean performance assessment. As a result, the research identified a total of 31 factors deemed critical in the assessment, all of which could be developed as an index or as guidelines to be used in the study's assessment of lean thinking, as applied at hospital OPD.","PeriodicalId":302732,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Technology Management and Emerging Technologies (ISTMET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the leading companies around the world voluntarily disclose an extensive amount of business information that appears to be useful in communicating information to investors, but some managements' may use voluntary disclosure to mislead stakeholders about the underlying economic performance. The planned study will contribute to increase awareness about the importance of voluntary disclosure to the regulatory authorities in Malaysia in order to improve the quality of the disclosure. It also identifies in detail the impact of all aspects of voluntary disclosure on earnings management, where prior studies mentioned that there is a possible relationship between voluntary disclosure and earnings management. The sample of companies for this proposed study will be from the Malaysian companies listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia. The proposed study will use checklist instrument to measure the extent of voluntary disclosures in three aspects: (1) strategic information; (2) financial information; and (3) non-financial information. Also it will use discretionary accruals measures as proxies to evaluate earnings management.

The four determinant factors has been identified are externalities, entrepreneurial leadership, resources readiness, and absorptive capability. There is positively significance relation among them in firm level. The study found that without dynamic capability for managing the resource, technology adoption will be less effective. Consequently manager should provide some supporting “hardware” content such as externalities, resources and leadership, and should improve firm's “software” ability such as absorptive capability in order to achieve a successful technology adoption in their organization.","PeriodicalId":302732,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Technology Management and Emerging Technologies (ISTMET)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133504100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research found that the level of collaboration in Malaysian SMEs manufacturers is too low to gain any relational advantage from collaborative relationships in supply chain. This research is sought to review the literature to determine the factors that create trustworthiness in buyer-supplier relation on supply chain collaboration among SMEs manufacturers. According to past researches, five behavioral signals are determined to be contributing to creating trustworthiness in supply chain collaboration. They are performance to promise signals, professional relationship signals, openness signals, benevolent collaboration signals and empathy signals. This conceptual paper reveals the factors that contribute in creating trustworthiness among Malaysian SMEs manufacturers. This research provides practical implications to the Malaysian SMEs in understanding how trust-building can be produced and enhanced in developing supply chain collaborative relationships.","PeriodicalId":302732,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Symposium on Technology Management and Emerging Technologies (ISTMET)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115671238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spin coating method was selected to deposit ZnO and TiO2 solutions on indium tin oxide (ITO)/Glass substrate. Platinum (Pt) was used as the top metal electrode which had been deposited on metal oxide layer using sputtering method. Memristive behavior determined by the current-voltage (I-V) characterization had been measured using two-point probe I-V measurement. From the I-V characteristics, it can be seen that pinched hysteresis loop were seen for all samples yet hysteresis loop with composite layer gave a wider loop compared to the single one.

Moving deeper, Association Rule Mining (ARM) is one of the most prominent areas in detecting pattern analysis especially for crucial business decision making. It aims to extract interesting correlations, frequent patterns, association or casual structures among set of items in the transaction databases or other data repositories. Even though most of these data repositories are dealing with flat files, current trend is focusing on using relational Database Management System (DBMS) for the more systematic and structured management of data. In response to the importance of adopting relational database, in this paper we implement MySQL (My Structured Query Language) as our association rule mining database engine in testing benchmark dense datasets which available from Frequent Itemset Mining (FIMI) online repository. Our study is focusing on Eclat algorithm as well as its variants in generating frequent and interesting rule, as a continual from our previous studies.
