Correlation Between Self-learning Readiness and Self-study Activities in Higher Education

The dynamics of learning in higher education today, right down to the stage of producing graduates that oriented are towards sustainable learning needs (long life learning), and meeting the needs of a specific market need. This has resulted in universities implementing self-learning, which is characterized by the interaction of lecturers and students in organizing learning, giving a greater share to students. The readiness of universities in carrying self-learning, in this study emphasizes the interactions found of lecturers and students in accommodating forms of self-learning activities consisting of Apprenticeship, Urban Development, Student exchange/ interscience, Research Collaboration, Entrepreuneurial, Independent Project, Community Engagement, and Learning Society. The result on lecturer respondents using a linear regression approach, shows that the factors of Apprenticeship and Research Collaboration activities, have little effect on the readiness of universities in carrying out Self-Learning activities, which shows that lecturers have to provide the widest possible opportunity for students to engage directly, in Apprenticeship and research activities.

Alternative organic fuel determination with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Fuel is a main staple consumption of the industry, especially in Indonesia which is an industrial zone. Availability of fosil fuel is become decline day by day, according to that fenomena finding new fuel come from non fossil resources become important. This research is studied about finding potential fuel resources come from organic resources, such as cassava, cocoa, corn, pineapple, & potato. Factors that observed in this research namely availability of resources, social responsiveness, capability production, economy, technology, education, and policy. Data come from stakeholders that involved in produce, manage, and using the resources observed in the form of subjective preference. To anticipate the complexity of taking a decision in this research, analytical hierarchy process model used to formulate and proceed multi variable impact come from the factors that affected the determination new fuel resources to develop. The final result showed that an organic fuel resources determine by the biggest weight is policy factor. It means that people live around organic fuel resources must be supported first, by the government policy to operate the activity of transforming pineapple peel to be gasoline in the small scale industry

Pineapple peel industry determination with weighted location method

This study discusses alternative fuels to replace gasoline with bioethanol. Bioethanol can be produced including pineapple, where the peel can be used to be converted into bioethanol instead of gasoline. The use of pineapple peel for small-scale production in this study was the main focus, so that the community would get benefit from the economic value. The community to use pineapple peel is the main concern, to get information about the capacity of an area. Measurement of capacity is carried out by taking into account transportation, raw material, land, energy, labour, waste, and market factors. The assessment was carried out on five zones of pineapple farming using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Each area is determined by its coordinates, then multiplied by the weight of each region produced. The calculation results show that the determination of area was chosen to be a smallscale bioethanol production area concerning with dependent on the policy, raw materials, and transportation factor, it show that policy factor must be exist to support the operation of bioethanol industry with pineapple peels material
