Continuing to study abroad brings challenges, apart from academic demands. International students are prone to acculturation stress as a consequence of cultural differences. Many research reports show that social support is a great buffer against experienced stress, but there has thus far been no study that analyzes the real effect of social support on acculturation stress. This meta-analysis study aims to investigate the true effect of social support on acculturation stress of international students based on studies reporting it. A meta-analysis was performed following PRISMA. The electronic databases used were Science-Direct, ERIC, ProQuest, Google Scholar (only for ETD), and opengrey.edu, with the article year limitations being 2009–2019. Eight (8) studies were involved in the meta-analysis. There were three instruments of acculturation stress and five instruments of social support that were used in the different studies. The effect size analysis showed that there was no difference in the effects of eight studies (z = −0.553; SE = 0.497; 95% CI = −1.248–−0.699; p = 0.580). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant moderator variable, the instruments used were quite diverse. The role of a moderator, other than gender, was not used because of limited information from the studies used. Social support plays a major role in reducing acculturation stress in international students. However, studies involving moderator and confounding roles need to be conducted.

<p>Desa Keloran Kecamatan Selogiri merupakan salah satu kecamatan di Kabupaten Wonogiri. Meskipun hasil singkong di  daerah ini  tidak sebanyak daerah lain, namun desa ini memiliki potensi yang menjanjikan sebagai penghasil tanaman ubi  kayu (singkong). Singkong biasanya hanya ditanam di lahan kebun belakang rumah warga. Hasil panen singkong dari kebun lebih sedikit dan biasanya hanya diolah menjadi gaplek untuk dikonsumsi sendiri, jika peralatan memadai para ibu rumah tangga akan mengolah singkong menjadi keripik dan dikemas seadanya kemudian dijual di pasar atau dititipkan ke warung-warung makan.  Metode yang digunakan untuk membantu mengatasi persoalan-persolan   dihadapi mitra adalah melalui pelatihan manajemen usaha, pelatihan produksi makanan, pemberian bantuan dukungan alat produksi dan pendampingan.</p>

Metode historis komparatif merupakan salah satu bagian dari pendekatan penelitian kualitatif yang masih jarang dilakukan dalam dunia psikologi di Indonesia. Tulisan berikut mencoba memaparkan nature dari pendekatan historis komparatif, mulai dari sudut pandang hingga tahap-tahap pelaksanaan penelitian dengan menggunakan metode tersebut. Tulisan ini membahas beberapa bidang psikologi yang telah menggunakan pendekatan historis komparatif dan menyuguhkan beberapa contoh penelitian dari hasil literatur review yang menggunakan pendekatan tersebut. Selain itu, artikel juga mendiskusikan secara mendalam kelemahan dan kelebihan dari pendekatan historis komparatif dalam penelitian psikologi di Indonesia.

<p>Industri mebel dan kerajinan merupakan industri yang cukup banyak<br />menyerap tenaga kerja. Industri ini masuk ke dalam 10 industri unggulan<br />yang menyumbang kinerja ekspor nasional. CV. Jembatan Lintas<br />Benua merupakan salah satu UKM yang berkecimpung di dunia mebel.<br />CV. Jembatan Lintas Benua bertempat di Serenan, Sukoharjo. Mebel yang<br />diproduksi merupakan mebel kayu dengan gaya modern minimalis. Saat<br />ini, pemasaran produk-produk mebel telah mengalami kemajuan hingga<br />ekspor ke luar negeri. Untuk mendukung pemasarannya, CV. Jembatan<br />Lintas Benua telah memiliki website yang dapat digunakan untuk<br />melakukan pemasaran secara online. Akan tetapi, website tersebut belum<br />dikelola secara optimal. Metode pemecahan masalah yang diterapkan<br />kepada mitra antara lain; pelatihan inclass yang meliputi pelatihan<br />kewirausahaan; pelatihan manajemen keuangan dan pelatihan<br />manajemen pemasaran. Selain itu diberikan pula teknologi tepat guna<br />berupa website serta seperangkat PC computer yang akan dilaksanakan<br />dalam jangka waktu dua tahun. Output kegiatan IbPU ini diharapkan<br />mampu meningkatkan kualitas SDM dan produk mebel kedua mitra serta<br />meningkatkan jumlah ekspor pada skala yang lebih besar.</p>

Wartegg test is a widely adopted personality evaluation instrument known for its drawing completion technique.  Employee personality data, for instance, can be sorted by the closest similarity with the expected characters. Whereas, Wartegg test plays a significant role in data similarity filtering. Despite the potential contribution of personal characters identification technique, practical guidance is rarely found in the literature. This paper demonstrates the usage of cosine-similarity method for data similarity filtering on Wartegg personality test. The method used in this study is a case study, in which will be selected several Wartegg test subjects. By using the value of each character aspect derived from the Wartegg test, the cosine-similarity value will be calculated against the expected/ideal aspect character. Based on this value, the Wartegg test subjects will be filtered based on similarity to the expected/ideal character aspects. A technical procedure to perform the method is also presented in this paper. In order to find out the effectiveness, sample data scores of each character aspect from five test subjects, and also the ideal scores of the expected characters are given. By using FWAT, a graphical representation of the test subjects' characters to the ideal characters is generated. Then, this graph was compared to the results obtained from the cosine-similarity method. Drawn from the results, the cosine-similarity is effectively applied for Wartegg test data similarity filtering.
