Implementasi Model Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average pada Proyeksi Komoditas Ekspor Timah

The Bangka Belitung Archipelago is a potential area in the mining sector because many soils contain tin minerals and minerals that are spread evenly. Based on this phenomenon, this study uses the ARIMA model to analyze the prediction of the number of tin export commodities in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The time series data used in this study begins in January 2020 and ends in September 2022, with projected results ending in June 2023. Based on the analysis results, it is found that the ARIMA model (1,1,0) is the best model that can be used to project the value of tin export commodities in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. This model was selected through the results of the correlogram test, which shows that the data is cut off at the second lag for the Autocorrelation Function (ACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) plots. This projection analysis was carried out after passing the stationarity test first through the Augmented Dicky Fuller (ADF) test. Through this test, it is found that the data is stationary at the first difference, and the prob value is 0.0003 with the projected result that there will be an increase in the number of exports of tin commodities with a total increase of 0.03%. The results of this analysis can certainly be part of preventive actions for the government to be able to assist the country in increasing the country’s foreign exchange through increasing export commodities.

Development of a HOTS-Based Mathematical Abstraction Ability Instrument in Trigonometry Using Riau Islands Province Culture

The lack of available assessment tools that effectively measure students' ability to think abstractly in mathematics, particularly in trigonometry. Additionally, there is a need to incorporate local culture into the assessment instrument to make the content more relatable and relevant to students in Riau Islands Province. This study is a development study using the Define, Design, and Develop processes from the 4D development model that have been converted to 3D. 3 doctoral lecturers in mathematics education subsequently validate the instruments produced; they are modified in response to their feedback and recommendations. A team of 17 teachers and instructors of high school mathematics validated the results, followed by panelists' validation. The content Validity Ratio (CVR) index value on the panelist's validation of 25 items is greater equals to 0.765. The instrument has been tested on 20th-grade 10th high school students. The results show that the instrument can be used on a large scale, and the instrument with the cultural context of the Riau Islands Province enables students to break down complex problems into simpler components, identify relevant variables, and establish connections between them.

IDENTIFIKASI GARIS BATAS CITRA HILAL MENGGUNAKAN KERNEL MATRIKS

IDENTIFICATION OF HILAL IMAGE BOUNDARIES USING MATRIX KERNELDetermination of worship times, especially the months of Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dzulhijah based on the sighting of the new crescent (first crescent) after sunset. The sighting of the hilal is sometimes problematic because it is often invisible or the hilal has decreased in quality (degradation) as happened in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province during monitoring to determine the beginning of Ramadan 1443 Hijriah. Thus, it is necessary to have a process for improving the hilal image to make it easier to identify or detect the clear, strong, and thick hilal boundary line. The processing of the new moon image starts from the process of changing the RGB image to a grayscale image which will make it easier to determine the new moon boundary line using the matrix kernel operators, namely roberts, prewitt, sobel, and canny. After applying the four operators, then the image is processed by thresholding segmentation to sharpen the image boundaries and separate objects from the background in an image based on their brightness or darkness. The test results of the four matrix kernel operators that were applied to the visible hilal image and the degraded hilal image showed that the prewitt and sobel operators had the best level of performance in detecting or identifying clear boundary lines. Meanwhile, the operator roberts is also able to detect the boundary line of the new moon image, but it is a bit thin and blurry. Unlike the case with the canny operator, which cannot detect it properly and cannot directly separate the object from the background.

Strategy for Neutralizing Sustainable Oil Spills on Coastal and Small Islands in Riau Archipelago Province

Indonesia is one of the largest oil producing countries in the world. Indonesia is recorded to have produced 279.07 million barrels of oil in 2021. Indonesia's geographical location is in a strategic area which is located between the Middle East countries as oil producers and developed countries that consume oil. The Malacca Strait, which is adjacent to the Riau Islands Province as a ship transportation area, even 27% of oil spread throughout the world passes through it. In addition to economic benefits, this sea area is also at risk of oil spills which result in pollution of sea waters. The research method used in this research is literature review. The research focuses on the interior of the coast and small islands in the Riau Archipelago. The research aims to provide a collaborative strategy through sustainable oil spill management policies on coasts and small islands in the Riau Archipelago Province. The results of the research show that strategies that can be applied are socialization regarding the importance of protecting marine waters from pollution and patrolling areas that are prone to being dumps of oil. The vastness of the waters in the Riau Islands requires patrols to coordinate with BAKAMLA, Navy, Aired Police, Customs and Excise and the community. The team for handling oil in the sea of Riau Islands Province that has been formed needs to increase environmental knowledge and deepen understanding related to technology through continuous training. Operational techniques for handling oil spills must be made regular so that it is easier to concentrate and coordinate the handling of oil spills.
