As e-commerce is rapidly expanding, efficient and competitive product delivery system to the final customer is highly required. Recently, the emergence of a smart platform is leading the transformation of distribution, performance, and quality in express delivery services, especially in the last-mile delivery. The business to consumer (B2C) through smart platforms such as Amazon in America and Coupang in Korea utilizes the differentiated delivery rates to increase the market share. In contrast, the small and medium-sized express delivery companies with low market share are trying hard to expand their market share. In order to fulfill all customer needs, collaboration is needed. This study aims to construct a collaboration model to maximize the net profit by considering the market density of each company. A Baduk board game is used to derive the last-mile delivery time function of market density. All companies in collaboration have to specialize the delivery items into certain service clustering types, which consist of regular, big sized/weighted, and cold items. The multi-objective programming model is developed based on max-sum and max-min criteria. The Shapley value and nucleolus approaches are applied to find the profit allocation. Finally, the applicability of the proposed collaboration model is shown through a numerical example.
The research investigated the emotions and evaluated the effectiveness of undergraduate students on Expressive Writing during the online learning process in the pandemic of COVID-19. The subjects are 122 undergraduate students divided into experiment and control groups. The quasi-experimental and thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. The data were collected by conducting pretest, observation, and posttest. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) was used on pretest and posttest to measure the undergraduate students' mental wellbeing. WEMWBS is a 14-item scale covering subjective wellbeing and psychological functioning. The research reveals three major findings. Firstly, inboth the control and experimental groups, females experienced positive changes in wellbeing scores, while males did not experience positive changes. Secondly, the mean score of mental wellbeing in the control group slightly increases, which is not significant. Thirdly, it also finds no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in both experiment and control groups. In other words, Expressive Writing could not improve undergraduate students' mental wellbeing. This study's results are valuable for educators, students, and education practitioners to develop mental wellbeing treatment.
The focus of the problem of this research is how the practice of arisan with children in the form of money is added in Sidorejo Village, Wonomulyo District and how Islamic law reviews the practice of arisan with children required in each lottery in Sidorejo Village, Wonomulyo District. This type of research is classified as a descriptive qualitative where researchers who go directly to the research location. The approach used in the research is the syar'i approach and the social approach. While the data sources of this research are primary and secondary data sources. Data processing techniques in this study include observation, interviews and documentation. The research instrument is the researcher himself. Testing the validity of the data in this study using trigulation. The results of this study indicate that the practice of social gathering for children in Sidorejo Village, Wonomulyo District uses debt-receivable contracts. Those who are lucky and those who are in debt, namely those who get the arisan lottery early are the debtors (creditors) because they have to pay the deposit and additional monthly payments to those who have not received it. And those who have debts (debtors) are members who get the arisan later because they provide loans to members who get the lottery first. The view of Islamic law on the addition in the practice of arisan for children is the same as usury in debts. Because there are additions that have been agreed upon at the beginning of the arisan, the additions increase little by little every month. The implications of the research are good if there is an addition to the practice of this social gathering using a mudharabah contract. Each member gets a share of the profits of the job that gets the lottery first. Only providing a small addition if the basic ingredients increase so as not to burden the arisan actors with additional items that continue to increase every month.Keywords: Islamic Law, Arisan Beranak.
This study describes the semiotic signs and implied meanings of two music videos. The videos studied were "Goodbye Christmas" by Lay and "Universe" by EXO. The writer focused on the study of denotation, connotation, and myth in these videos by using Barthes' theory. In this case, all scenes such as properties, gestures, expressions, and activities in both music videos are called denotation. This analysis used a descriptive qualitative method to analyze scenes in both music videos. Based on the analysis done, it can be affirmed that music videos can be analyzed using Barthes' theory. The results find that the visual images communicate implied meaning conveyed through the visual images. These images communicate feelings of sadness and separation as well as friendship and affection. The messages implied in the whole scenes of both music videos are the representation of problems that shackle humans, realization, efforts, and results of the efforts done to solve the problems.
