What [it] is [it] All About

Benarkan psikotest memegang peranan penting dalam sebuah proses rekrutmen? Bagaimana cara untuk lolos dalam psikotest yang diadakan oleh perusahaan? Sebenarnya, apa yang diukur oleh psikotest? Dan hasil psikotest seperti apa yang diharapkan oleh perusahaan?

Hampir semua perusahaan menggunakan psikotest untuk menyaring kandidat yang potensial dalam sebuah proses rekrutmen. Psikotest merupakan sebuah sarana dan cara “gampang” untuk mengetahui secara cepat traits dari seseorang. Umumnya, satu set alat tes psikologi akan mengukur secara keseluruhan aspek si calon karyawan. Intelegensi, motivasi, emosi, relasi sosial, work style, dan ketahanan kerja adalah beberapa aspek dari sekian banyak aspek yang diukur dalam sebuah psikotest.

Seberapa efektifkah psikotest dilaksanakan?Mungkin kita sudah seringkali mendengar bahwa banyak alat tes yang sudah “bocor” . Seorang teman pernah mengambil kunci jawaban tes IST dari tangan seorang calon karyawan yang sedang di-psikotest. Parahnya, bukan satu atau dua kali kejadian semacam ini terulang. Mungkin juga kita pernah menemukan bagaimana bahan kuliah mahasiswa psikologi mengenai tes WZT yang seharusnya hanya dikonsumsi untuk kalangan psikologi ternyata justru jadi penghias di etalase salah satu toko buku terbesar di Indonesia.

All big city around the world have the same problem …. public transportation (translate: macet in “Indonesia” ~_* )

Transportation planners face a number of problems “that require innovative solutions.” Large increases in urban population and pollution have seriously compromised existing transportation systems and significantly increased the challenge of creating future transportation systems. And “despite extensive spending on urban transportation systems,” the problems “seem to only get worse.”

the complex urban transportation problems in developing countries “are triggered by certain trends,” all of them interrelated.Growth in population naturally causes growth in car ownership, and while “car ownership levels [in the developing countries] are far lower than the developed countries at present, . . . it is in these developing countries that the greatest growth rate[s] in motor vehicles have been seen in the past few years and are expected in the future,” primarily in urban areas.The mobility and afford ability advantages of these vehicles are diminished by their pollution disadvantages, notably high levels of “carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbon emissions.”
The environmental and social impacts of these trends are significant “because they are directly related to quality of life and urban productivity.” These impacts include congestion, energy consumption, air pollution, and traffic crashes.The transportation sector is the most rapidly growing source of greenhouse gas emissions– that is, emissions of chemicals that have the potential to contribute to global warming.

Many solutions tried by many country to solved this problem. for example, in my lovely city, Jakarta, It built many new busway routes, and there will be a Monorail (hopefully) this year ^_~.

A Home Location Register (HLR) is a database that contains semi-permanent mobile subscriber information for a wireless carriers’ entire subscriber base. HLR subscriber information includes the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), service subscription information, location information (the identity of the currently serving Visitor Location Register (VLR) to enable the routing of mobile-terminated calls), service restrictions and supplementary services information.

The HLR handles SS7 transactions with both Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) and VLR nodes, which either request information from the HLR or update the information contained within the HLR. The HLR also initiates transactions with VLRs to complete incoming calls and to update subscriber data.

Traditional wireless network design is based on the utilization of a single Home Location Register (HLR) for each wireless network, but growth considerations are prompting carriers to consider multiple HLR topologies.

Visitor Location Register (VLR)

A Visitor Location Register (VLR) is a database which contains temporary information concerning the mobile subscribers that are currently located in a given MSC serving area, but whose Home Location Register (HLR) is elsewhere.

When a mobile subscriber roams away from his home location and into a remote location, SS7 messages are used to obtain information about the subscriber from the HLR, and to create a temporary record for the subscriber in the VLR. There is usually one VLR per MSC.

International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Number

The IMSI is a unique non-dialable number allocated to each mobile subscriber in the GSM system that identifies the subscriber and his or her subscription within the GSM network. The IMSI resides in the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), which is transportable across Mobile Station Equipment (MSE). The IMSI is made up of three parts

(1) the mobile country code (MCC) consisting of three digits,

(2) the Mobile Network Code (MNC) consisting of two digits,

(3) the Mobile Subscriber Identity Number (MSIN) with up to 10 digits.

Mobile Subscriber ISDN (MSISDN) Number

The MSISDN is the dialable number that callers use to reach a mobile subscriber. Some phones can support multiple MSISDNs - for example, a U.S.-based MSISDN and a Canadian-based MSISDN. Callers dialing either number will reach the subscriber.

“What is it all about” or “What it is all about” ??

Often, little things can make a big different result… ( in a positive or negative way)

but we don’t realize it….

So, wake up !!..
