IMPLEMENTATION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF COCONUT SHELL WASTE AS AN EFFORT TO INCREASE COMMUNITY INCOME. The problems that occur in the community of Sei Paham Village are not yet optimal use of coconut, which is one of the largest coconut production villages in Sei Kepayang District. It requires the acquisition of science and technology in maximizing coconut shell waste into charcoal. The purpose of the service is to implement science and technology in processing coconut shell waste into charcoal as an effort to increase the income of the people of Sei Paham Village. The community empowerment method uses participatory learning and action to be very useful in increasing knowledge and skills by involving community participation in several ways, including: (1) analysis of the situation of potential derivative products from coconut waste; (2) able to design the charcoal combustion devices that have been produced with the service team; and (3) skilled in quality charcoal production. The results of dedication are seen in increasing income and skills in utilizing shell waste. The application of science and technology in developing the potential of shell waste also has a positive impact on the surrounding environment, this is there is no longer a coconut shell buildup because the community has been able to optimize the shell using a coconut shell combustion device to become charcoal.
The purpose of this study is to produce teaching materials based on project based learning in the Research Methodology course. It also aims to determine the effectiveness of teaching methodology courses with a project based learning approach and find out students' responses to teaching materials developed in the form of textbooks and learning videos. The development procedure used in the development of this teaching material is the ADDIE Model Romiszowski. The model consists of five steps, namely: (1) analysis (analize), (2) design, (3) development (development), (4) implementation and (5) evaluation. Based on the results of research and development can be concluded several things as follows: (1) Development of research methodology textbooks based on Project Based Learning using ADDIE models. The analysis phase (Analyze) begins with conducting syllabus analysis, student analysis, concept analysis, task analysis. The design phase are carried out by preparing instruments, choosing the format and initial design of teaching materials, the results of teaching materials are obtained in accordance with the needs of students in the form of textbooks based on Project Based Learning and learning videos. The development phase is done by developing teaching materials into 12 learning activities that are equipped with video learning from each chapter then validated by material experts with a total score of 4.07 while learning media experts with a total score of 4.08 with categories valid and revised according to expert advice.
This study seeks to test empirically, conceptually, and theory in terms of the Locus of control that builds financial decision behavior, where financial decision behavior will be proxied through variables economic action with the object of Department of Management Students as emerging adults. Through Purposive Sampling Technique with the target sample criteria were students of the Management Department, Faculty of Economics, State University of Medan who took the Capital Market and Financial Management Subject in the Odd Academic Year 2019/2020, 241 students met the requirements. The data analysis technique used in analyzing this study's hypothesis is Partial Least Squares -Structural Equation Modelling. Based on the results obtained, the Locus of Control Emerging Adults students of Management Department, Faculty of Economics, State University of Medan significantly affects their financial behavior.
Background: Business actors need to take strategic steps to maintain and improve business performance. Studying and deepening the strategies used by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to maintain their performance conditions are needed as a barometer of crisis resistance in the macroeconomic sector, especially those used by MSMEs in Medan, Indonesia. Thus, this research provides a real picture in the field of variables and indicators that affect the business strategy of MSMEs through the perspective of a lean approach. Methods: The population in this region was 466 business actors of MSMEs in Medan. A random stratified sampling strategy is used, and 169 businesses in the MSMEs production sector were obtained as samples, which has exceeded the standard achievement of 80 percent in detecting an R2 value of at least 0.10 (with a 5 percent probability of error). The research variables used consisted of one endogenous variable (use of a lean strategy), two exogenous variables (external lean practice and internal lean practice), and one mediating variable (financial performance). Seven hypotheses (inner models) were tested using structural equation modelling–partial least squares, nonparametric statistical data analysis techniques with mediation effects, assisted by Smart PLS 3.0. Results: Based on the path coefficient, internal lean practice predominantly influences the financial performance of MSMEs in Medan compared to external lean practice. Internal lean practice is the primary signal for identifying the degree of lean strategy practice in the MSMEs production sector in Medan city. Conclusion: These findings can be a map for practitioners, academics, and the government to improve the financial performance of MSMEs and assist them in their business strategies through internal business practices. Moreover, this study's impact can lead to an understanding of business strategies in operations that directly or indirectly affect the environment toward global warming and various environmental problems.
As a country with most of its population dependent on rice as the main staple, Indonesia hosts vast area of rice fields. Unfortunately, the long term use of chemical fertilizer degraded the soil and chemical pesticides wiped away also the 'good' insects. In the midst of the common use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide, a group of farmers in Lubuk Bayas Village Perbaungan Disctrict Serdang Bedagai Regency committed themselves in organic farming using only organic materials with zero chemical for their fertilizer and pesticide. This paper aims to describe how the farmers could survive in organic farming while farmers usually have the perception that using organic fertilizer is not sufficient to improve production. The method used in exploring the answer is in-depth interview with the member of the farmers group and field observation. The results showed that organic zero chemical content of the fertilizer and pesticide spared Lubuk Bayas' environment from the chemical residue from chemical fertilizer and pesticide that is harmful to soil and water bodies as well to 'good' insects. Organic rice farmers in Lubuk Bayas have a good prospect in maintaining their style of farming. The productivity is slightly lower than the non-organic farms. But the selling price is higher and the farming cost is lower since the farmers self-produced the organic fertilizer and pesticide. In the end, the organic farmers earned more income than their non-organic counterpart.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
