NATIONAL SECURITY OF INVESTMENT CLIMATE: A CASE STUDY IN THE SOUTH SULAWESI REGION OF INDONESIA

A safe area is certainly not a guarantee that the investment climate will be high. Consumer confidence in investing is one of the factors that can mediate an increase in the investment climate of a region. This study aims to: (1) determine the effect of national security on the regional investment climate, (2) find out the effect of national security on the consumer confidence index, (3) find out the effect of national security on the regional investment climate mediated by consumer confidence index. This study applied the analysis of Structural Equation Model (SEM). The findings showed that national security has a direct effect on the investment climate with a value of t = 3.07 (>1.96). Moreover, the correlation between national security and consumer confidence index is significant with a value of t = 4.35 (>1.96). Next, the correlation between consumer confidence index and investment climate is also significant, with a value of t = 2.51 (> 1.96). The level of security of a Regency/ City in South Sulawesi reflects the absence of a sense of fear and anxiety about the possibility of threats to the soul, property, and honor. If an area is considered safe, it will increase the investment climate because investors will invest in safe and remote areas of conflict. Therefore, it will not disrupt their business process

Aplikasi Thermocontroller Tipe TZN4S-14R pada Alat Pengering Jagung (Zea mays L.) untuk Pakan Ternak

Saat dipanen jagung pipilan umunya mempunyai kandungan air tinggi yaitu berkisar 25-35% (wb). Agar jagung pipilan dapat diolah dan disimpan untuk waktu lama perlu segera dikeringkan sampai kadar air di bawah 14 %. Proses pengeringan di Indonesia pada umumnya dilakukan dengan cara menjemur menggunakan bantuan energi sinar matahari. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi pengeringan adalah suhu. Suhu yang tidak stabil pada saat pengeringan dapat merusak produk. Kontrol suhu dengan umpan balik sinyal PID memberikan kinerja yang dapat memperbaiki dan meningkatkan cara kontrol on-off pada sistem pemanasan untuk alat pengering jagung dengan thermocontroller berbasis PID.

Bussu As Online Learning Platform On Vocabulary Learning Motivation Achievement Among Students

A robust online learning platform is critical for extending education beyond the classroom and facilitating interactive and individualized learning. Language learning has developed some patterns due to social interactions and independent learning experiences. Vocabulary motivation and achievement are critical components of students' English proficiency. Nonetheless, both variables are recognized as critical by lecturers and students, but receive less attention. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Busuu, an online learning platform, on the motivation and achievement of university students in Indonesia when it comes to vocabulary learning. The platform's use as an independent variable, whereas motivation for vocabulary learning and vocabulary achievement, were dependent variables. This study employed a quantitative methodology. Busuu facilitates the learning experience by keeping track of the number of words learned, the level of fluency, and the duration of the learning day. The researchers refer to fluency as the indicator in the study. The questionnaire and test were adapted and modified from previous research on motivation and achievement in vocabulary learning. There were 98 participants. The research discovered that the Busuu online learning platform's performance significantly contributes to the motivation and achievement of vocabulary learners. The study proposes a new model of English learning that incorporates online learning platforms in order to boost students' motivation and vocabulary achievement
