Using descriptive research design, this study aimed to evaluate the
experiences of Vocational Technological Education (VTE) teachers regarding the
adequacy of the tools and equipment they are utilizing in their respective institutions
in the areas of Information and Communications Technology (with specialization in
computer hardware servicing and technical drafting), Home Economics (with
specialization in cookery and dressmaking) and Industrial Arts (with specialization in
electrical installation and maintenance and consumer electronics servicing). It also
investigated the areas of concern that teachers have encountered as VTE teachers and
their proposed measures to meet them. The study found out that adequacy of tools
and equipment in teaching VTE in the Department of Education was observed in
computer hardware servicing and cookery while inadequacy of materials in technical
drafting, dressmaking, electrical installation and maintenance and consumer
electronics was noticed. Challenges encountered by VTE teachers on facing the
restructured curriculum deals on lack of project materials and completion
requirements for students and insufficiency of reading materials and substandard
laboratory shop facilities. The recommendations offered by the respondents to meet
the challenges include: resourcefulness and creativeness on the part of the teachers in
devising instructional materials and textbooks; updating of equipment and tools and
strict monitoring and maintaining of facilities to be done by school officials; and
additional hands-on training and relevant assessments for teachers and students
spearheaded by the supervisor of VTE

As we have known from the Ancient History of Human Beings that for
their survival of Life, People are always live closely to the water. It is because water
is a basic need for Human Beings. For this reason, People build their houses along the
River's banks or on the beaches. Based on this Philosophy, we have seen along the
Kahayan's River Bank at the Central Kalimantan in Indonesia, there are the
settlements on it. For having more accurate data, we also made some interviews to the
People, who live in this settlement. We also made some Interviews to the some
officials of the Local Government of Central Kalimantan. We also have made Library
Research for having more clearly of its Research and to make it accomplished. We
have found that, in this Urban Settlement, there are Three Characteristics Houses at
the Kahayan's River Bank – Central Kalimantan. Due to the Natural Conditions, the
People of its region have built their houses by adopting its surrounding/natural
conditions. The Houses are the Floating‟s Houses located really on the River; The
Scaffolding‟s Houses/the Upraised Platform Houses located between the River and
the Land/ Water and Soil; The Ordinary‟s Houses located on the earth/ground/soil.
Focusing on how the People of this Region fulfill their needs in adopting the
Nature's/Environment's condition. We have tried to understand and distributing this
knowledge by explaining their characteristics of the houses from these elements, such
as the Location; the Materials of the Buildings; How People Live in it; the Layout of
the Houses; the Infrastructure; the Transportation; Trade and Commerce; the
Problems of the Settlement and also the impact to the River. We give also the
solution of the problems. The purpose this report we would like to sharing our
knowledge to the German alumni, UKI, University of Palangka Raya and also we
would like to give this report to the local‟s government authority.

In the work, modeling of the forming process for aluminum detail was
carried out. As a detail, "Pen" is chosen for which the material AK6M2 is determined,
taking into account its physico-chemical properties. In the beginning, a 3D detail
model is constructed, using the SolidWorks program. Then in the program Nova
Flow, entire process of filling the mold in real time, rate of filling the mold cavity
with metal, hardening time of the casting was determined. The temperature change
dynamics of the casting after filling the mold is investigated. Possible nodes are
susceptible to formation of shrinkage shells.

The University Medical Center which currently runs a manual system for
the management and maintenance of its critical information also operate an
Outpatient Department in which non-urgent patients arrives for consultation with the
problem of patients‘ long waiting time. This scenario has resulted to certain
impediment ion terms of service rendering, including difficulty in accessing data due
to improper keeping of patient details; delay in attending to patients on emergency
which could lead to case complications as well as death of the patient; Lack of an
effective Doctor-Patients appointment coordination; and more so, the few Doctors
and Nurses could be overworked. The aim of this research project is to develop an
Agent-Based Appointment Management System that will improve the medical
center‘s efficiency in health services provision and reduce outpatient waiting time
without adding extra resources. With the introduction of appointment system, the
result has shown that average waiting time could be reduced by thirty-seven to forthfour percent as compared to the current status. Object Oriented Analysis and Design
Methodology (OOAD) were adopted in the design for the Design and development of
the proposed system. The proposed system was implemented using PHP, AJAX,
HTML programming technologies. MYSQL was used as the database engine in
XAMP server. The hospital appointment and scheduling system was tested using
several test data by stakeholders and error correction was carried out.
