The Impact of Interest Rates and Inflation Rates on Increasing the Number of Customers Saving: Study At One of The Banks in Medan

This research investigates the impact of interest rates and inflation on the customer base of PT. Medan Independent Bank in terms of savings. The present study aims to examine the impact of interest rates and inflation on the customer base of Bank Mandiri (Persero) Medan. This study aims to examine the impact of interest rates and inflation on the customer base of Bank Mandiri (Persero) Medan in terms of savings. This study used a causal-comparative research design, which is a type of research that examines the cause-and-effect relationship between two or more variables. This study employs many data analysis approaches, including Validity and Reliability Tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, hypothesis testing, simultaneous tests, and the Coefficient of Determination (R2). The statistical findings show a significant relationship between the interest rate and the number of customers. This conclusion is based on the t-test (partial), where the calculated t-value of 5.039 exceeds the critical t-value of 2.920, and the significance level of 0.001 is less than the predetermined threshold of 0.05. Therefore, each interest rate significantly impacts the number of customers. Based on the obtained results, inflation substantially influences customer numbers. This conclusion is drawn from the t-test (partial) analysis, where the calculated t-value of 4.051 exceeds the critical t-value of 2.920 at a significance level of 0.001, which is lower than the conventional threshold of 0.05. Hence, individually and independently, inflation significantly impacts the number of customers. Based on the statistical findings, interest rates, and inflation substantially influence customer numbers. This assertion is supported by the F (simultaneous) test, where the F-count value of 18.348 exceeds the critical F-table value of 9.55, and the significance level of 0.000 is less than the predetermined threshold of 0.05. Hence, both interest rates and inflation significantly impact the number of customers concurrently

Analisis Pengaruh Waktu Torefaksi Terhadap Kualitas Biobriket dari Cangkang Kelapa Sawit (Palm Oil Shell)

Palm oil shells are solid waste from the palm oil processing industry. In 1 ton of palm oil produces 6.5% shell waste. Solid waste can be converted into fuel as a substitute for oil, namely bio-briquettes as an alternative fuel through a combustion process with less air. This study aims to determine the effect of time variations on the quality and yield of bio-briquettes produced using a combined pretreatment method of densification (with additional binder) and torrefaction at a temperature of 275 oC and time variations of 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 minutes. Torrefaction is a new method in the briquetting process where this method takes place at low temperatures. The results showed that the longer the torrefaction time, in general, the value of water content, ash content, volatile matter content, fixed carbon value and burning time also increased. However, this is inversely proportional to the yield value of the resulting product, so the best quality is obtained in 75 minutes with a moisture content of 0.86%, ash content 2.38%, volatile matter content 18.23%, fixed carbon value 78.51 %, product yield is 36.3165% and calorific value is 5964 Kcal/kg.Cangkang kelapa sawit adalah limbah padat dihasilkan dari industri pengolahan minyak kelapa sawit, dimana dalam 1 ton kelapa sawit dapat menghasilkan 6,5% limbah cangkang. Limbah ini dapat diproses menjadi bahan bakar padat / biobriket sebagai alternatif bahan bakar melalui proses torefaksi dengan sedikit atau tanpa udara. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari variasi waktu terhadap kualitas dan rendemen biobriket yang dihasilkan menggunakan metode pretreatment gabungan densifikasi (dengan tambahan pengikat) dan torefaksi pada temperatur 275 oC dan variasi waktu yaitu 30, 45, 60, 75 dan 90 menit. Torefaksi termasuk metode baru dalam proses pembriketan dimana metode ini berlangsung pada temperatur rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin lama waktu torefaksi maka secara umum nilai kadar air, kadar abu, kadar zat terbang, nilai fixed carbon serta waktu bakar juga semakin meningkat. Namun hal ini berbanding terbalik untuk nilai rendemen produk yang dihasilkan, sehingga untuk kualitas terbaik didapatkan pada waktu 75 menit dengan kadar air 0,86%, kadar abu 2,38%, kadar zat terbang 18,23%, nilai fixed carbon 78,51%, rendemen produk 36,3165 % dan nilai kalor sebesar 5964 Kcal/kg
