    • On the basis of the tracking multi-loop target angle coordinate system, the article has selected and proposed an interactive multi-model adaptive filter algorithm to improve the quality of the target phase coordinate filter. The interactive multimodel evaluation algorithm is capable of adapting to the maneuverability of the target as the evaluation process progresses to the most suitable model. In which, the 3 models selected to design the line of sight angle coordinate filter; Constant velocity (CV) model, Singer model and constant acceleration (CA) model, characterizing 3 different levels of maneuverability of the target. As a result, the evaluation quality of the target phase coordinates is improved because the evaluation process has redistribution of the probabilities of each model to suit the actual maneuvering of the target. The structure of the filters is simple, the evaluation error is smal l and the maneuvering detection delay is significantly reduced. The results are verified through simulation, ensuring that in all cases the target is maneuvering with different intensity and frequency, the line of sight angle coordinate filter always accurately det ermines the target angle coordinates.

    • National Defense is an element important in a country that is related to the protection to all citizens, region and the political system in it in countering various threats. National defense is considered very important for all countries, including Indonesia. For the author, the implementation of the National Defense Strategy is carried out by mobilizing all national resources after going through a transformation process to change the potential of national resources (ideology, politics, economy, socio-culture, military, geography, demography and natural resources) into elements of national power (Elements of national power). As an archipelagic country with 80% of the sea area and 20% of the land area, the threat to Indonesia's sovereignty and territory lies at sea. These conditions make Indonesia vulnerable to threats. Therefore, in dealing with these threats, are needed elements of national power. The elements of national power consist of several elements, namely non-military power and military power.

    • This paper examines the Noun Phrases (NP‟s), Verb Phrases (VP‟s) and some simple sentences within Edo constructions in comparism to their structures in English language through a syntactic contractive analysis of the two languages. This study aimed at helping the Edo second language (L2) speaker overcome the problems of transfer from his (first language or mother tongue) L1 and to become more competent in the use of English structures. Chomsky‟s ST (Standard Theory) model was used as it accounts for phrase structure rules and transformational subcomponents. It has helped the researcher to highlight the major differences between the two languages within the phrase structure. It was discovered that the Edo structures are not as elaborate as that of English and that the Edo speaker of L2 is likely to omit the determiner and mix up his tenses because of their verb usage. The work concluded that there is a need for language teachers to draw the attention of the students to the areas of differences and spend more time to teach the students the correct usage so that the students can become more skilful in the use of the two languages.

Therefore, this research is aimed at defense science treasures in the field of international cooperation. The method used is a library study to analyze how defense cooperation, forms of cooperation and barriers to Indonesia-Malaysia cooperation are used. With the results of research on defense cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia, it is very important to strengthen the defense of the two countries, in the form of cooperation in the form of handling and narcotics, increasing maritime security, defense equipment and the professionalism of the TNI. While the obstacles that occur are the tides of international cooperation caused by conflicts over territorial disputes as well as differences in the legal system and workers.

    • Abstract | pdf Pdf
    • Recently, some approaches, or "organizational trends" that are robust in rhetoric but weak in epistemological and factual content, have frequently appeared in organizational behavior literature. The expectation that the employee will continuously sacrifice the organization's favor rather than the scientific explanation of any phenomenon is expressed in pro-organizational approaches. Critically reviewing these explanations, this study aims to analyze the concepts of organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behaviors from the "rational choice" and "social exchange theory" perspectives. The pro-organizational approaches attempt to explain and discuss employee organizational behaviors based on sacrifice, but is this the case? Can these approaches be proved or empirically justified by the basic assumptions of psychology, economics, and behavioral economics? Moreover, does the natural world function based on sacrifice? Does the organism maintain its life based on its interests, benefits, needs, or emotional orientation and self-sacrifice? This study significantly draws attention to the necessity of creating literature based on scientific, objective, and factual concepts instead of fictional and rhetorical concepts without any real equivalents in the real world. The study is a critical thematic review based on the variables of organizational commitment, organizational citizenship, rational choice theory, and "social exchange theory." The obtained results consist of assumptions based on the comparative critical analysis of these approaches.

    • The objective of this article is to understand the perception of farm managers of CSR. To achieve this, we mobilized a qualitative research, more precisely an empirical survey of exploratory type based on case studies with 13 leaders of large, small and medium farms in Cameroon. The discourse of the actors allowed us to identify 4 types of leaders: 7 pragmatic leaders who have a good knowledge of CSR and implement it with full knowledge of the facts; 2 lay leaders who have no knowledge of CSR and therefore do not apply it; 3 of the respondents are altruistic and therefore have no knowledge of CSR but apply it without knowing it; Finally, we found in terms of discourse, 1 deviant leader who has a good knowledge of CSR, but does not apply it The social component of CSR is the most familiar to farm managers. We recommend that managers get in touch with competent experts in the field or with the ministry in charge, which will be of great help to them in mastering the techniques that can help them make good use of CSR for a better future of their farms. We encourage public authorities to set up incentives to encourage companies, especially small ones (more numerous), to adopt responsible behaviors. Training programs for managers wishing to learn about CSR would be welcome, especially in the vernacular language of community radio stations, to help managers who do not easily use French and English to grasp the concept.

Many industries were affected by Covid-19 where since March 2020 Jakarta Composite Index has decreased because many investors have sold their stocks, but since the third week of May 2020 until early June 2020 has shown an increase indicating stocks trading is starting to show improvement. This study aims to analyze which sector stocks are still able to survive in the COVID-19 pandemic, using Active Stocks by Total Trading Volume, Active Stocks by Total Trading Value on Indonesia Stock Exchange, weekly and monthly market capitalization values with a sample of Top twenty stocks based on Total Trading Volume and Total Trading Value, on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from March 2020 to June 2020, The Financial Services Authority weekly Statistics and the Indonesia Stock Exchange Monthly Statistics.

Investors must be careful in choosing which sectors to go. Investors need to do a fundamental analysis so that they are not mistaken in placing funds, and diversification stocks to reduce the risk of loss which is too big to invest. If the situation returns to normal, all sectors will rise again with adjustments following the new normal protocol. Stocks of the consumer industry sector, the telecommunications sector such as data, towers and the health sector such as pharmaceuticals and hospitals are stocks that can be chosen by investors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
