Camelia Falisa, Dodie Tricahyono — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The market share of electric vehicles in terms of overall sales is still small in both developed and developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aims to determine the priority of factors that influence consumer purchase intention for battery electric cars in Indonesia by exploring public perceptions of this. This study uses quantitative research with a deductive approach and causality properties. The research population is consumers who buy and prospective buyers of battery electric cars in the DKI Jakarta area. With sample calculations using parameter 5, so that the minimum number of samples is 73 indicators X 5 = 365 respondents. The analysis technique uses SEM with the help of the AMOS program. The results of the study show that the integration of TPB, UTAUT-3, and NAM theories provides in-depth insights into consumer intentions to purchase battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Indonesia. Positive attitudes and PBC contribute significantly to purchase intentions, at 16% and 14.8%, respectively, while subjective norms show a negative but significant influence. In the UTAUT-3 model, social influence and facilitating conditions contribute significantly, at 33.6% and 44.3%, respectively, emphasizing the importance of social support and infrastructure. Price value also contributes significantly at 33.2%, indicating that the perception of the economic value of electric vehicles greatly influences purchasing decisions, but other factors are not significant. Although awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibility in the NAM model have a positive effect, personal norms do not show a significant influence on purchase intentions. The implication of these findings is that to increase purchase intentions for electric vehicles, a marketing strategy is needed that includes education about the benefits, strengthening social norms, and improving infrastructure, as well as creating awareness of the economic and environmental value of electric vehicles.

Aceh Jaya is one of the districts in Aceh Province that has great potential in various sectors, such as agriculture, plantations, and tourism. In the Aceh Jaya District Development Plan (RPK) Book 2023-2026, it is stated that the unequal distribution of infrastructure development in Aceh Jaya District in 2023-2026 has resulted in low investment competitiveness and decreased economic performance. Because of these conditions, this study clusters regions in Aceh Jaya District based on infrastructure indicators so that groups of sub-districts are obtained based on the level of infrastructure development. The method used in this study is clustering analysis by comparing it with two clustering methods, namely K-means and average linkage, which are validated based on the silhouette coefficient value to see which cluster is the best. The results obtained are the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.611, which indicates that the sample is representative of a total of eight variables; for the zscore value, there is no outlier data, which means that the data of the eight infrastructure variables can be used entirely. Meanwhile, the clustering results using the K-Means method resulted in 3 clusters, and with the Average Lingkage method resulted in 2 clusters. This means that Aceh Jaya District can be clustered into 2 clusters, as seen from the silhouette coefficient value of 0.736. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that infrastructure development has not been evenly distributed in the 9 existing sub-districts, so that strategies and priorities are needed in infrastructure development in Aceh Jaya Regency.

Waste management at the Gunung Kupang Landfill has not been optimal when viewed from the capacity of waste management. One strategy in the policy of 'Increasing Service Coverage and Quality of Management Systems' in the Masterplan is the rehabilitation of landfills that pollute the environment. Before the landfill was decided to be rehabilitated, an evaluation was carried out using the ARRPET (Asian Regional Research Program on Environmental Technology) method. An overall evaluation of the existing conditions at the Gunung Kupang Landfill has never been carried out so it needs to be carried out using the ARRPET method. The results of the environmental evaluation of the existing conditions of the Gunung Kupang Landfill with ARRPET produced a risk index score of 529.24. This value is included in the risk index with a moderate category so that the recommended follow-up is to rehabilitate the landfill into a sustainable landfill as soon as possible. Therefore, it is planned to build a methane gas installation and landfill mining in landfill zone 2 as a rehabilitation method so that the potential for environmental pollution can be minimized and the life of the landfill can be extended. Based on the evaluation results, the rehabilitation method is feasible to be carried out where the NPV of both rehabilitation methods is positive and the BCR is more than 1.

Poverty is one of the crucial social problems in rural areas. The problem of poverty in rural areas is increasingly in the spotlight because of its broad impact on the community's economic and social sustainability. The varying levels of poverty require an appropriate analytical approach to design effective intervention programs. In an effort to understand and address this problem, this study uses the K-Means Clustering method to group the poor population. We use K-Means clustering to identify and group hamlets based on their poverty levels. This study aims to categorize the hamlets in Bandar Kumbul Village into multiple clusters according to their poverty levels, thereby identifying which hamlets necessitate more focused attention. The research methods used include collecting data on the number of poor people from 2013 to 2022 in each hamlet, data preprocessing, applying the Elbow method to determine the optimal number of clusters, and applying the K-Means Clustering algorithm to group the hamlets. The results of the study show that there are three main clusters with different characteristics. Cluster 0 includes Hutaimbaru and Mailil Julu hamlets with high poverty levels. Cluster 1 only includes the Pasir Sidimpuan hamlet, which has medium poverty levels. Cluster 2 includes Aek Mardomu, Bandar Kumbul, Mailil Jae, Sidodadi, and Singga Mata hamlets with low poverty levels. Variations in distance from the cluster center indicate significant differences in the distribution of poverty in each hamlet. The K-Means Clustering method is effective in identifying and grouping hamlets based on poverty levels, providing useful insights for the government and stakeholders to design more targeted intervention programs. Clusters with high poverty levels require immediate intervention, while clusters with medium and low poverty levels require maintenance and support to prevent an increase in poverty. This study provides a strong foundation for decision-making and policies to reduce poverty levels in Bandar Kumbul Village more effectively and sustainably.

Oil palm seedling sales are one of the important aspects of the agricultural industry in Indonesia. However, conventional sales processes often encounter various obstacles, such as limited access to information for consumers, difficulties in inventory management, and low operational efficiency. To overcome these problems, this study aims to develop a Web-based Oil Palm Seedling Sales Information System at CV. XYZ. We designed this system to offer a comprehensive solution for sales management, encompassing stock recording and real-time transaction processing. This study uses a system development method with the waterfall method, in which the development stages include requirements, system design, implementation, verification, and maintenance. We collected data through direct observation at CV XYZ, interviews with management and customers, and related literature studies. Users then tested the prototype to identify potential problems and gather feedback for system improvement. According to the study's findings, the implementation of this web-based information system has resulted in increased efficiency in sales and inventory management. Users can easily access product information, place orders, and track the status of their orders. In addition, this system also allows integration with payment gateways, so that the transaction process becomes faster and safer. This system simplifies customer data management, sales recording, and financial report analysis from a management standpoint. At CV. XYZ, the development of the Web-based Palm Oil Seedling Sales Information System positively impacted operational efficiency and effectiveness. This system not only increases customer satisfaction by providing faster and more transparent services, but it also helps management make more accurate decisions based on available data. We need to add more advanced data analysis features to forecast sales trends and market demands, and integrate the system with e-commerce platforms to broaden our market reach.

Implementation Of The Support Vector Machine Method In Predicting Student Graduation

Syakira Abdillah, Gomal Juni Yanris, Volvo Sihombing — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Student graduation is an important indicator of the quality of education at a higher education institution. A high graduation rate not only indicates success in the learning process but also has a positive impact on the reputation of the institution. Conversely, a low graduation rate can be a signal of problems that require special attention. Various factors, both academic and non-academic, influence higher education institutions in ensuring timely student graduation. Therefore, we need a method that can accurately predict student graduation to carry out early intervention. This study aims to apply the support vector machine method in predicting student graduation. We chose this method due to its capacity to classify complex data. We use historical student data, such as Semester Achievement Index scores, as input variables to build a prediction model. We evaluate the model using precision, recall, and f1-score metrics. According to the study's findings, the support vector machine model's accuracy level is 71.20%. This method is good at predicting students who graduate with a precision of 95%, recall of 72%, and f1-score of 82%. However, the model's performance in predicting students who failed was less than satisfactory, with a precision of only 17%, a recall of 62%, and an f1-score of 26%. The imbalance in data between passed and failed students contributed to this result. The Support Vector Machine method effectively predicts student graduation for the majority class (passed), but requires special handling of the data imbalance to enhance the accuracy of predictions for the minority class (failed). Universities expect to use the results of this study to carry out early intervention and increase student graduation rates.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of rhizobacteria in stimulating plant growth and acting as a biofertilizer that can enhance the viability and vigor of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seeds. The research was conducted at the Agronomy Unit Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University, from September to October 2024. The study was designed based on a randomized block design (RBD), consisting of 11 test isolates and 1 control. These isolates were tested for their effectiveness in improving the viability and vigor of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The test was carried out by soaking seeds in a rhizobacteria suspension, then germinating the seeds using a standard germination procedure. The observed variables included germination capacity, vigor index, seed uniformity, relative growth rate, and T50. The results showed that seed treatment with rhizobacteria significantly increased the viability and vigor of rice seeds (Oryza sativa L.), as seen in the variables of germination capacity, vigor index, T50, and relative growth rate. From this study, 2 isolates were selected that have the potential as growth promoters for rice seeds, namely DMW 4 and DSS 3. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of these isolates in improving the growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under field conditions.

Analysis of Rewards and Punishment on the Performance of State-Owned Enterprise Employees in Medan Region

Bambang Suwarno, Arman Harahap — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Motivating workers through the use of rewards and punishments, the management control system places an emphasis on output. Any decent employee will follow the rules set out by their employer and will push for their coworkers to do the same. Finding out whether company rewards and punishments have an effect on employee performance in a State-Owned Enterprise is the main objective of this study. Quantitative studies employ non-probability purposive sampling and associative causality studies. With the aid of SmartPLS, descriptive statistics were applied to 100 questionnaires. All of the study's variables were found to have a positive and statistically significant effect. With a t-statistic value of 4.218, employees believe that the company's performance reviews can positively affect their pay, benefits, and advancement opportunities. The company's punisment motivate employees to perform well in order to avoid pay cuts and promotion delays (t-statistic value 4.861). When workers' expectations regarding company assessments and reward are satisfied, their performance improves (t-statistic value 3.900). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that, with proper implementation of evaluation and sanctions, staff performance will improve. While punishments are the most powerful incentive for improving performance, this study's original finding is that positive reinforcement in the form of awards can inspire loyalty and good conduct.
