Abstract

This study is about an analysis of grammatical and mechanical errors made by the students across the three levels of writing ability: high, average, and low. The grammatical and mechanical aspects analyzed were subject-verb agreement, sentence fragment, conjunction, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. The present study aimed to find out the most common grammatical and mechanical errors and to identify the percentage of each error found in the essays. Students’ essays taken from their English writing quiz were collected as the data since they might contain grammatical and mechanical errors. This study employed textual analysis and was supported by simple calculation to determine the frequency of each error found. The data were analyzed by identifying the errors, explaining why the errors are incorrect and writing the proper corrections, and evaluating the errors to get the percentage of each error found. The results showed that the most common grammatical error found is the use of conjunction, that is around 20.6%, and the most common mechanical error found is punctuation by around 21.6%.

Abstract

This study aims to find out that relative power (P) variables are not only social status, age, education and wealth. Another aim is to show that negative politeness strategies do not always belong to someone with higher social power. Relative power is one element of social variables that decides politeness strategies. Pride and Prejudice reveal that integrity, pride and love are also variables of relative power. They can also prove that though someone’s social status is not high and her social distance from another participant is asymmetric, she could have power over someone with higher social status. Power characterized by integrity, pride, belief, and freedom from being dominated is called personal power; meanwhile, it is a power determined by a good personality, attractive physical appearance, and referent power. This study uses a qualitative method, and the data is mainly from Pride and Prejudice. The main character of Pride and Prejudice shows us that integrity, pride, and love could be the variables of power deriving from Personal and Referent power. Those powers could develop and deepen relative power in social variables to be applied in politeness studies.

Abstract

The main problem facing the city of Bandung is a sharp increase in the volume of waste, followed by a rapid increase in population and changes in people's lifestyles. The volume of waste in the city of Bandung will reach 1,594.18 tons per day in 2022, which is dominated by food waste at 44.52%. Thermal processing of waste, such as RDF (refuse-derived fuels) which can be used as fuel for PLTSa incinerators, is still hampered. Ciwaruga Village, RW 12 is a densely populated area, waste handling has not been managed well, plus immigrants are increasingly contributing to waste production. Polban plays a role in helping solve the waste problem through PKM activities. The methods used are socialization, training, technical guidance, mentoring, evaluation and program sustainability. PKM activities emphasize organic waste management through maggot cultivation. The existence of a community of catfish farmers in RW 12 is the reason why the idea of ​​cultivating maggots as an alternative to catfish feed emerged, considering that the price of catfish feed is increasing. The protein content of maggots is very good for the growth of catfish, as well as complementary food for chickens. Maggot leftover food (kasgot) can be used as fertilizer. Maggots consume twice their body weight in food a day. For this reason, maggot cultivation is the right solution to reduce organic waste. PKM activities focus on developing maggot cultivation on a larger scale, namely the RW scale. Supported by waste shredding machine technology so that waste is consumed more easily and quickly by maggots. Considering the benefits of maggots, it is hoped that this can motivate people to become entrepreneurs in maggot cultivation as additional income.

Abstract

The quality of the research background provides readers with the essential context needed to understand the research problem. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance the quality of this section. This study investigates the comparison of the Move and Step structures between engineering and non-engineering students’ final project report background using Swales’ (2012) Create a Research Space (CARS) Move/Step analysis model. Data were collected from 71 students’ final project reports at a polytechnic in Bandung, comprising 35 from engineering fields and 36 from non-engineering fields. The results indicate that both fields incorporate Move 1, Move 2, and Move 3. In Move 1, both fields use Step 2 (Making topic Generalization) to establish a research area. Meanwhile, in Move 2, step 2 (Indicating a Gap) and step 4 (Continuing a Tradition) are frequently applied in non-engineering fields to establish a research niche. In Move 3, both fields use step 1A (Outlining Purposes) to describe their studies. The findings suggest no significant difference in the Move and Step structures between engineering and non-engineering fields. These insights may contribute to improving the quality of students’ final project reports.
