Agency Costs Dan Kebijakan Dividen Pada Emerging Market

The purpose of this research was to analyze agency costs and dividend policy onemerging market. The research population was 147 manufacture industry companies listedat the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Sample were retrieved bases on purposive sampling method,there were 25 companies, which were fulfilling the condition needed, starting from 2000until 2005, pooling data with analysis unit n = 6 x 25 = 150. Research used ordinary leastsquare. Research results showed that agency costs did not significantly influence dividendpolicy. Research conclusion was that agency costs were not important factors of dividendpolicy. Next analysis result showed that insider ownership, institutional ownership, dispertionof ownership, and free cash flow did not significantly influence dividen policy. Thecollateralizable asset significantly influenced dividend policy. This finding showed that therewas no agencial conflicts between manager (agent) and stockholders (principals) in emergingmarket (manufacture industry companies listed at the Indonesian Stock Exchange). However,there were agencial conflicts between stockholders and creditor (bondholders)

Analysis of the Money Supply and Interest Rate of Inflation in Indonesia

Articleaimed to assess and analyze the effect of money supply and the interest rate on Inflation in Indonesia. This research applied descriptive quantitative approach with the nature of the explanatory method verification. The data used was secondary data in the money supply, interest rate and Inflation in Indonesia in 2000-2014. The results of this article are the partial test (t-test) indicates the money supply (X1), the rate of interest (X2) and there is no effect on Inflation (Y). While the results of the simultaneous test (F test) shows a strong and direct relationship between money supply and the interest rate on inflation. This means that the money supply and interest rates affect the rise and fall of inflation in Indonesia

PENERAPAN PEMBELAJARAN SAVIR (SOMATIC, AUDITORY, VISUAL, INTELLECTUAL, DAN REPETITION) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR RANAH KOGNITIF DAN MEMPERTAHANANKAN RETENSI SISWA SMA

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan peningkatan hasil belajar ranah kognitif dan daya tahan retensi siswa pada materi ajar kalor, antara kelas yang menerapkan pembelajaran SAVIR dan kelas yang menerapkan pembelajaran SAVI. Penelitian ini juga melihat bagaimana keterlaksanaan kedua pembelajaran SAVIR dan SAVI. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian the static group pretest - posttest design dengan pemberian posttest sebanyak tiga kali dalam selang waktu antara posttest beberapa hari. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa dua kelas pada kelas X di salah satu SMA Negeri di Kecamatan Payakumbuh, Sumatera Barat dengan jumlah masing-masing 28 dan 25 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlaksanaan pembelajaran pada kedua kelas meningkat pada setiap pertemuan dan skor rata-rata gain yang dinormalisasi pada kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran SAVIR sebesar 0,79, sedangkan skor rata-rata gain yang dinormalisasi pada kelas yang menggunakan pembelajaran SAVI sebesar 0,65. Berdasarkan uji beda rata-rata, pada taraf kepercayaan 95% (signifikansi 0,05) hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran SAVIR secara signifikan lebih meningkatkan hasil belajar ranah kognitif siswa dibandingkan pembelajaran SAVI. Selain itu, dari hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pembelajaran SAVIR dapat lebih mempertahankan retensi siswa dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran SAVI The purpose of this study was to determine differences of cognitive learning improvement and student retention durability in learning heat between a class that implemented SAVIR learning and a class that implemented SAVI learning. This study also investigated how the progress of learning in SAVIR and SAVI learning. This study was designed by using the static group pretest-posttest design which gave a posttest for three time in interval between posttest for few days. The participants in this study were the tenth grade students in two classes of a senior high schools in Payakumbuh district, West Sumatra which the first class consist of 28 student and the second class consist of 25 student. The results of this study show that there is an improvement in the learning process for every meeting in both class. It was found that class with SAVIR learning got 0.79, while the class with SAVI learning got 0.65 in gain average normalized . Base on different test based on the average, at 95% confidence level (significant 0.05) the findings show that SAVIR learning significantly improve the result of cognitive learning result better than SAVI learning. Beside that, this study also found that the implementation of SAVIR learning mantain students’ retention better than SAVI learning

Penerapan Metode Geolistrik Untuk Identifikasi Pola Penyebaran Zona Asin Di Bledug Kuwu, Grobogan, Jawa Tengah

Geoelectrical is one of geophysics methods which is used to investigate the early stage in the shallow exploration. The research is conducted at Bledug Kuwu with Schlumberger configuration method containing the two points of potential electrodes and the two points of electrical current electrodes. The equipment used in this research are OYO model 2119C, GPS, meter roll, cable as current and potential electrodes. The purpose of the research is to identify the spreading pattern of salty zone at Bledug Kuwu. The distribution pattern of salty zone is characterized by thickness of 1.55 to 71.9 meters and range resistivity of 0.055 to 0.460 Ωm. At west of large Bledug, the salty zone is detected at the depth of 5.0 to 10.0 meters and 30.0 to 50.0 meters. Meanwhile at east of large Bledug, the salty zone is detected at the depth of 5.0 to 15.0 meters and 40.0 to 60.0 meters. The salty zone spread from north to south at both west and east of large Bledug with resistivity of 0.05 to 0.50 Ωm at depth of 5.0 to 50.0 meters.
