Abstract

Sediment Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a technology that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy through the process of nutrient degradation by microbes. Sediment taken from the bottom of shrimp ponds was added as a source of microbes, while fish and shrimp wastewater were used as a source of nutrients for microbes. This study aims to measure the performance of the SMFC system on fish effluent and shrimp effluent to produce bio-electricity while reducing the waste load. The research method was experimental laboratories. The treatment given was the different types of electrodes, namely zinc-copper and aluminum-copper. In addition, 0.2 M KMnO4 electrolyte solution was used. This study consisted of four stages: the manufacture of nutrients from fish and shrimp wastewater, the manufacture of a dual chamber MFC bioreactor, the measurement of electrical values, and the analysis of waste quality. Experiments were carried out for 30 days by measuring electricity every 24 hours. The average value of electricity generated in the nutrients of fish wastewater with Zn/Cu electrodes was 0.705 V and Al/Cu was 0.472 V. Meanwhile, the average value of electricity in shrimp wastewater nutrients with Zn/Cu electrodes was 0.630 V and Al/Cu was 0.625 V. The number of colonies after adding sediment in the shrimp wastewater sample were 8.9 x 106 CFU/mL, the fish wastewater sample was 9.5 x 106 CFU/mL. It indicates the presence of microorganisms that play a role in the SMFC system

Abstract

Knowledge sharing is very important for lecturers in implementing the tri dharma of higher education. By sharing knowledge, it will create creative ideas and innovations for lecturers. This study aims to find out how the behavior of sharing knowledge of polytechnic lecturers. Research on the knowledge sharing behavior of polytechnic lecturers has never been carried out. The research sample was 200 lecturers at the first six polytechnics in Indonesia. The behavior of sharing knowledge is seen from three factors: knowledge donating, knowledge collecting, and technology. The data was processed using LISREL 8.80. The results of the research are the dominant dimension in supporting the sharing of lecturers' knowledge. Polytechnics lecturer also tend to collecting more knowledge than share knowledge. This can be due to the lack of motivation of lecturers to share and competition. For this reason, polytechnic university management needs efforts to improve the culture of knowledge sharing among lecturers.

Abstract

This study intends to investigate strategic ambidexterity (STA) by examining how environmental dynamism (EN) affects networking capability (NE) in small businesses. In addition, the moderating influence of EN on the relationship between NE and STA is examined. The association between networking capability, environmental dynamism, and strategic ambidexterity was determined by analyzing the responses from a survey of 185 small business owners in the province of West Java. The research has employed survey questionnaires and smart PLS for data analysis. This study indicated that small business networking capability and environmental dynamism directly affected strategic ambidexterity. However, this study's outcomes reveal that environmental dynamism as a moderator in the relationship between networking capability and strategic ambidexterity is insignificant.

Abstract

The development of the world's digital governance era has reached the development of smart city 4.0. Not many cities can make that happen. In Indonesia, the movement towards smart cities is still starting to be echoed. So it is necessary to prepare and have the will of the region to implement a smart city because of the difficulty in preparing to implement a smart city. Wonogiri Regency is one of the districts selected for smart city implementation because the achievement of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) indicator has increased. The purpose of this study was to analyze the readiness of implementing a smart city master plan in the Wonogiri Regency. This research is a qualitative type with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with 8 purposively selected informants. The researcher found that the readiness of the five components (nature, structure, infrastructure, superstructure, and culture) was 51% in good condition, 32% in moderate condition, and 17% in poor condition. This means that it is necessary to increase the structural and superstructure components where conditions are still bad. Recommendations in increasing readiness for smart city implementation include making regional smart city policies; improving the quality of the relevant apparatus to improve the quality of ICT capabilities; increasing the amount of budget in the smart city program; and preparing supporting institutions

Abstract

As a sustainable from the research in 2019 regarding the Planning of the Medan-Berastagi Alternative Route that the Researchers have carried out, this year it is planned to conduct research related to the cost of construction and the feasibility of constructing the alternative route as a whole economy. It is important that a study be carried out immediately because of the importance of this alternative route considering the frequent occurrence of severe traffic jams due to accidents or natural disasters along this route in recent times. Knowing the development costs as well as the economic feasibility of this new route will help interested stakeholders in making decisions regarding this new route. The total construction cost which includes construction costs, design and supervision costs and land acquisition costs is IDR 1,171,518,647,736 while the annual routine maintenance costs are IDR 3,114,325,566 and periodic maintenance costs per five years are IDR 87,808,542,710. Calculation of Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) is carried out by referring to Pacific Consultant International (PCI) standards while the Time Value calculation is adopted from the 2001 Bina Marga “Heavy Loaded Road Improvement Project – Master Plan Review” study (for Buses and Passenger Cars) and “Sumatera Region Road Project” PU (2000) for trucks. The existence of the Medan-Berastagi alternative road will save VOC of IDR 22,120,269,410 and Time Value savings of IDR 57,337,666,839 in 2023. The economic feasibility analysis results can be seen that the value of the Economic Internal Rate of Return is 12,06% greater than the current lending rates are in the range of 8-9%. At the prevailing interest rate of 10%, the Benefit Cost Ratio is 1.16 and the Net Present Values are IDR 204,496,000,000. These results indicate that the construction of the MedanBerastagi Alternative Road is economically feasible.
