Local wisdom is a very interesting culture of a society in Indonesia. One of the local wisdom in Indonesia is the Sumbawa community. The values of the wisdom of the Sumbawa people can be found in Sumbawa proverb. The Sumbawa proverb that is present in the Sumbawa community cannot be separated from the cultural background of the Sumbawa people. The cultural background of the community can affect the process of creating local wisdom. Semiotic linguistic studies can be used to examine the values of local wisdom in society. Semiotic is also very suitable for explaining culture. The method used in this study is qualitative. The theory used in this study is a semiotic theory of Rolland Barthes about denotation and connotation. The object of the study is Sumbawa’s proverb in two levels based on Barthes’s semiotics’ theory: (1) Denotation: the most obvious meaning of the sign; (2) Connotation: the interaction between the sign that meets the feelings or emotions of the audience and its culture. Based on the results of Roland Barthes’s semiotics through the process of denotation and connotation can be concluded that in Sumbawa proverb can be found the values of local wisdom such as the values of hard work, a relationship between human beings, a male and female character, and how is the relationship between men and women.

This research introduces and explores the phenomenon of Far Distant Motivation (FDM) for the first time. The aim of the study is to substantiate the role and necessity of developing motivation on the basis of future prospects with the development of the conceptual foundations of the motivation model. The paper shows that the available theories of motivation and experimental research in the operations management did not cover the time perspective of employee motivation. Both motivation theories and the managerial paradigms of operational management develop primarily short motivation. To eliminate this gap, it was proposed to introduce the concept of “Length of Motivation”. The concepts of Short Motivation and long-range Far Distant Motivation (FDM) are highlighted. Based on years of research, curves of types of motivation have been proposed. On their basis, the design of motivation systems in operations management is carried out. It is shown that in certain periods of the worker’s working life, FDM should be activated. The study confirmed the effectiveness of FDM. It is revealed that the group of workers with long-range motivation is distinguished by higher productivity and integration into the company’s goals. However, the companies themselves do not single out the motivational structure of such a group of workers and do not fully use the potential for increasing productivity.

Purpose of this study is to identify the similarities in beliefs, traditions, and rituals of all the existing religions or religious practices of the world and explore the possibilities of religious convergence. The study found that although there are many similarities in the principles of the major religions in the world none of the old and existing religions offer religious convergence where a union of existing religions is possible. Satsang, a contemporary religion founded by Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra (1888-1969), a prominent philanthropist and one of the greatest philosophers of recent times, supports convergence. This paper explained the importance of initiation in the creed of a superior ideal in each of the major religions. It has also examined in detail about how people from any faith, race or religion can practice the principles of Satsang doctrine along with existing religious practices to accomplish the spiritual quests of individuals.
