Unemployment is an important issue in the economy, especially in Bangka Belitung Province which faces challenges in absorbing high school graduates into the job market. This analysis aims to evaluate the influence of the workforce and labor force on the unemployment rate in the area. This study uses secondary data analyzed using the multiple regression method through SPSS software. The variables analyzed include the workforce and labor force as independent variables, with the unemployment rate as the dependent variable. The t-test is used to test the significance of the influence of each independent variable, while the F-test is used to evaluate the overall significance of the regression model. The determination test (R²) is applied to assess how much of the variation in the unemployment rate can be explained by the model. The results of the t-test indicate that the workforce and labor force each have a significant influence on the unemployment rate. A positive coefficient for the workforce indicates that an increase in the workforce is associated with an increase in the unemployment rate, while a coefficient for the labor force indicates that an increase in the labor force is associated with a decrease in the unemployment rate. The F-test shows that the multiple regression model as a whole is significant in explaining the variation in the unemployment rate. The R² value indicates that this model can explain most of the variation in the unemployment rate

Enhancing Agroecology in Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) Cultivation with Centrosema pubescens Ground Cover: A Study from Central Bangka, Indonesia

<p>Pepper cultivation in Bangka Island primarily takes place on sandy land. Legume cover crops, such as <em>Centrosema pubescens</em>, which has been widely used as a ground cover, are anticipated to improve land quality by maintaining soil temperature and humidity, increasing soil organic carbon content, increasing soil porosity, and improving soil fertility. This research aims to analyze the agroecosystem of pepper plants, by comparing the use of the cover plant <em>C. pubescens</em> as a soil treatment and the absence of using these cover plants as a control. The research was conducted in farmers’ pepper gardens in Perlang Village, Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Province. The research employed a randomized block design, with <em>C. pubescens</em> and natural vegetation as treatments, each replicated 3 times. The variables measured were soil temperature and humidity; abundance of microorganisms; weed density, frequency, and dominance; chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and anthocyanin content of pepper leaves; photosynthesis rate; transpiration rate; stomatal conductance; soil chemical and physical properties. The results showed that <em>C. pubescens</em> as ground cover could reduce the dominance of the <em>Bidens pilosa</em> weed (relative dominance of 36.16%) but led to an increase in the dominance of <em>Chromolaena odorata</em> (relative dominance of 38.7%). <em>C</em>.<em> pubescens</em> ground cover could also maintain stable soil temperature and moisture, and increase P, K, Ca, and Mg soil content by 100%, 100%, 43.6%, and 48.3%, respectively. Furthermore, pepper plants grown with <em>C. pubescens</em> exhibited 25%, 23.7%, and 16% higher chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid content, respectively, compared to those grown without the cover crop.</p>

River Sedimentation Due to Tin Mining Activities in Bangka Island

Sedimentation in rivers is a major issue of environmental damage in the Kepulauan Bangka Belitung Province. In the last two decades, since tin mining was carried out by the community, massive sedimentation has occurred in the river. The purpose of the study is to investigate the characteristics of sediment materials and the effects of illegal tin mining on river sedimentation on Bangka Island. Sediment characteristics can be seen from the distribution of grain size and specific gravity of the bed sediment material and the concentration of suspended sediments seen from their position along the river. Sediment grain size is classified according to the American Geophysical Union. A total of 45 sediment samples spread across 12 rivers in the district capital area on Bangka Island were collected at the end of the rainy season in 2023, and 4 more samples were added in the dry season of 2023 in the Muntok River. The MPM formula was applied to estimate bedload transport and statistical methods were used to estimate suspended sediment rates. Additionally, the sedimentation rates are estimated based on dependable continuous flow with a probability exceeding 50% (Q50%). The study’s findings indicate that Illegal tin mining in Bangka Island has a major impact on river sedimentation. The particle size distribution of bed material sediments does not align with what is typically found in nature, which often exhibits coarser particles upstream and finer downstream. Similarly, in areas downstream of tin mining operations, the concentration of suspended particles increases significantly, up to 12 times higher than natural conditions.

Circular Economy Principles in the Regulatory Oversight of the Management of By- Products – Case Study: Tin Slag 2

The tin processing industry generates abundant slag, as a by-product, that contains radioactive substances from uranium and thorium decay series radionuclides. The increase in tin production will be proportional to the rise in tin slag. The Circular economy is a concept that aims to minimize the extraction of primary resources, keep resources as long as possible, increase added value, or limit the final disposal of waste. The concept of reuse, recycling, or reprocessing is part of the concept. This paper aims to identify aspects of the existing regulations in Indonesia that support circular economy principles in the management of by-products, such as tin slag 2. The methodology used in this paper is a literature study of regulations, international recommendations, and related research. Based on the measurements of tin slag 2 samples originating from Bangka Belitung Province, the main chemical constituents based on XRF analysis are SiO2, CaO, MgO, Fe2O3, and TiO2. The activity concentration of a tin slag 2 sample showed a value that exceeded the criterion of 1 Bq/gram for the radionuclides in the uranium and thorium decay series. From a material perspective, tin slag 2 can be reused or recycled for specific purposes. Various studies have proven the performance of tin slag 2 as a partial substitution of fine aggregate or cement in manufacturing mortar or concrete. The identification shows that several existing regulations in Indonesia explicitly and implicitly regulate the provisions of the circular economy concept. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry regulations, by-products with activity concentrations of less than 1 Bq/gram can be used as raw material, raw material substitution, energy source substitution, and other uses. Meanwhile, the by-products with activity concentrations of more than 1 Bq/gram are challenging as the provisions of by-products with a value of more than 1 Bq/gram are regulated in BAPETEN Regulation No. 16 of 2013 (currently in the revision stage). BAPETEN Regulation No. 16 of 2013 explains that by-products can be utilized for certain activities. However, the regulation must explain the terms and criteria for reusing by-products. Provisions of by-product processing, as stipulated in GR No. 52 of 2022, are limited to extracting nuclear minerals such as uranium and thorium. So, the meaning of processing in GR No. 52 of 2022 and provisions for reuse previously contained in BAPETEN Regulation No. 16 of 2013 have different meanings. Keywords: circular economy, by-product, tin, slag 2, radioactive substances, nuclear minerals
