Abstract

The popularity of Hollywood action movies is undisputed, especially the ones related to espionage. The movies such as the 007 series and Mission: Impossible series are best known as successful action-spy movies as they are always considered the top blockbuster movies. However, the start of the release of The Bourne movies in 2002 changed audiences’ perspectives toward the depiction of espionage as commonly shown in 007 and Mission: Impossible. Four of The Bourne movies that consist of The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and The Bourne Legacy (2011) are used as the object of this research. Furthermore, the different depictions of espionage in The Bourne movies successfully reached the attention of action-spy audiences. Many audiences from throughout the world expressed their feelings after watching these movies on the movie review site as IMDb.com. The audiences’ responses toward the different portrait of espionage that are presented in the movies may depend on the taste of those audiences with regards to the depictions inside the movies that may present certain American values as the narrative of the movies concerns an American named Jason Bourne. There are two goals of this research. The first is to reveal whether there is any relation between audiences’ taste and the values depicted in film whether these film are products of popular culture or not. The second is to know how these movies mold the American values in their narrative to appeal to the desire of audiences. This research is conducted under the American studies discipline, especially the paradigm of transnational American Studies. Furthermore, some theories are employed as tools to analyze the object in order to achieve the goal of this research. Conducted as qualitative research, books, movies, articles, and videos related to the focus of this research are used as supporting data.Keywords: The Bourne, Audience, Taste, Value.

Abstract

Accounting information contained in financial statements must be able to influence the decision making of users (investors). The concept of value relevance of financial statements developed by Ohlson (1995) emerged, namely how big the role of accounting information in influencing investor decision making which in turn affects stock prices. Information on the R&D costs of companies belonging to high tech industries may be priced higher than companies belonging to low tech industries. So it is expected that the relevance of information on the R&D costs of companies belonging to high tech industries is higher than companies belonging to low tech industries. This study aims to examine the value relevance of research and development (R&D) cost accounting information and to examine the value relevance of research and development (R&D) accounting information for companies belonging to high tech industries, which are higher than companies belonging to low tech industries. The population in this study were all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015-2017. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with company criteria that revealed research and development (R&D) costs in 2015-2017. The number of companies that meet the sample criteria are 47. Data analysis in this study uses Partial Least Square (PLS) with Warp PLS 6.0 application. The results of this study prove that research and development (R&D) accounting information has a positive and significant effect on firm value. However, the results of the study failed to prove that the value relevance of research and development (R&D) accounting information for companies included in high tech industries was higher than companies included in low tech industries.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of the application of the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) learning method on students' reading skills. The research design used was a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 40 vocational high school students. Data were collected through pretest, posttest, and group tests. Data analysis used paired t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results of the analysis showed that students' reading scores significantly increased after the application of the STAD method. The mean score of the pretest was 70.2, increasing to 82.4 in the posttest, and 85.1 in the group test. A paired t-test revealed significant differences between the pretest and posttest (p<0.01), while an ANOVA test also showed significant differences among the three measurements (p<0.01). The increase in scores from the pretest to the posttest by 12.2 points, as well as the higher group test score than the posttest, indicated the effectiveness of the STAD method in improving students' reading ability and good knowledge retention.
