Sikap “Golput” Masyarakat pada Pemilihan Umum Kepala Daerah Gubernur dan Wakil Gubernur Riau Putaran Pertama di Desa Ridan Permai Kecamatan Bangkinang Kota Kabupaten Kampar Tahun 2013

The high level of "Abstentions" on the implementation of the elections had a warm conversation today. The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude of the form "Abstentions" and factor in the emergence of an attitude "Abstentions" Governor elections in the first round in 2013 in the village Ridan Permai Bangkinang City of Kampar District. This research used descriptive quantitative method. The sampling method that used was "Simple Random Sampling". Obtained a number of 123 respondents. For collecting data, the researcher used interview and documentation, for processing the data using descriptive quantitative method. Results of "Abstentions" in community has the following forms, namely attitude, the attitude of alienation, anomie, cynicism and apathy. The factors that encourage the emergence of an attitude "Abstentions" was a factor instrumental rational action, value of rational action, affective actions, as well as traditional measures. This study concluded that there should the improvement of public confidence towards the implementation of the elections by the committee that the Commission and political parties as participants in the elections, as candidates, leaders of political parties are carried

Measurement of spin memory lengths in PdNi and PdFe ferromagnetic alloys

Weakly ferromagnetic alloys are being used by several groups in the study of superconducting/ferromagnetic hybrid systems. Because spin-flip and spin-orbit scattering in such alloys disrupt the penetration of pair correlations into the ferromagnetic material, it is desirable to have a direct measurement of the spin memory length in such alloys. We have measured the spin memory length at 4.2 K in sputtered Pd0.88Ni0.12 and Pd0.987Fe0.013 alloys using methods based on current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance. The alloys are incorporated into hybrid spin valves of various types, and the spin memory length is determined by fits of the Valet-Fert spin-transport equations to data of magnetoresistance vs. alloy thickness. For the case of PdNi alloy, the resulting values of the spin memory length are lsf(PdNi) = 2.8 +/- 0.5 nm and 5.4 +/- 0.6 nm, depending on whether or not the PdNi is exchange biased by an adjacent Permalloy layer. For PdFe, the spin memory length is somewhat longer, lsf(PdFe) = 9.6 +/- 2 nm, consistent with earlier measurements indicating lower spin-orbit scattering in that material. Unfortunately, even the longer spin memory length in PdFe may not be long enough to facilitate observation of spin-triplet superconducting correlations predicted to occur in superconducting/ferromagnetic hybrid systems in the presence of magnetic inhomogeneity.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure

The Impact of Government Infrastructure Spending on Economic Growth and Poverty in Gorontalo Province

This research aims to analyse the impact of government infrastructure spending on economic growth and poverty in Gorontalo Province. This research uses datasets on government expenditure, economic growth, and poverty rate from Central Statistics Bureau (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS), Directorate General of Fiscal Balances Ministry of Finance. This research uses panel data regression in 5 regencies during 2013-2017 in Gorontalo Province. The main results of this research show that (i) public works has negative and insignificant impact on economic growth; (ii) the public housing sector has a negative and not significant impact on economic growth; (iii) the transportation sector has a positive and insignificant impact on economic growth; (iv) the public works sector has a negative and not significant impact on poverty; (v) the public housing sector has a positive and insignificant impact on poverty; (vi) the transportation sector has a negative and not significant impact on poverty.

Perbaikan Proses Produksi Kacang Langkose Pada Industri Rumah Tangga Di Pinrang

Kacang langkose adalah cemilan yang terbuat dari kacang tanah yang sudah dibuka kulitnya lalu digoreng dan dicampur dengan garam. Beberapa industri rumah tangga yang ada di kabupaten Pinrang telah memiliki pengalaman dalam mengolah kacang langkose, namun cara pengolahannya masih sangat sederhana. Proses pengolahannya belum maksimal khususnya pada sistem penggorengan dan perlakuan setelah penggorengan, peralatan yang digunakan masih sangat sederhana/tradisional (sistem penggorengan masih dengan wajan biasa serta penirisan minyaknya masih dengan penyaring biasa). Upaya perbaikan proses produksi dilakukan melalui program Ipteks bagi Masyarakat (IbM) Direktorat Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (Dit. Litabmas) Pendidikan Tinggi (Dikti) Kemdikbud Tahun Anggaran 2013. Untuk itu, pelaksanaan kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan teknologi proses pengolahan kacang langkose dengan melakukan introduksi peralatan proses pengolahan kacang langkose kepada mitra dengan mesin vacuum frying dan spinner, melakukan pembinaan dan pendampingan terhadap mitra dalam produksi dan pemasaran produk kacang langkose. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah memberi manfaat terhadap peningkatan produksi mitra, hal ini dibuktikan dengan jumlah produksi kacang langkose Mutiara “Q†dari 250kg/bulan menjadi 500kg/bulan sedangkan Weradatama dari 50 kg/bulan menjadi 200kg/bulan. Selain itu, kualitas kacang langkose juga lebih baik dan tahan lama, serta terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam pengolahan kacang langkose dan pengelolaan USAhanya

Analysis Of Village Dau, Dak, And Funds On Inequality Distribution Income And Growth In Indonesia 2015-2018

This study aims to analyze (1) the effect of DAU on economic growth, (2) the effect of DAK on economic growth, (3) the effect of income distribution inequality on economic growth, (4) the influence of the Village Fund on income distribution inequality, (5) the effect of growth the economy against inequality of income distribution. The data used were sourced from the Ministry of Finance through the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance and the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency during the 2015-2018 period, the unit of analysis was 33 provinces in Indonesia. This study uses a simultaneous equation regression model with the two stage least square (2SLS) regression technique with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results showed that, (1) general allocation funds have a positive and significant effect on economic growth, which means that any increase in general allocation funds will be followed by an increase in economic growth. (2) special allocation funds have a negative and significant effect on economic growth. This means that any increase in special allocation funds will make economic growth decline. (3) income distribution inequality has a negative and significant effect on economic growth, which means that any increase in income distribution inequality can as much as reduce economic growth. (4) the variable of village funds has a negative and not significant effect on the inequality of income distribution, which means that any increase in village funds will make the income distribution inequality decrease. (5) economic growth variable has a negative and significant effect on inequality of income distribution, which means that any increase in economic growth can reduce inequality of income distribution decreases.
