Voltage drop comparison in Lead-acid and Lithium-ion batteries on electric scooters

This article compares the voltage drop on Lead-acid and Lithium-ion batteries used as an energy source for electric scooters. An experiment was conducted with five electric scooter users weighing 60.25 Kg, 70.60 Kg, 83.20 Kg, 95.40 Kg, and 103.75 kg to obtain data on voltage drop. Each user of this electric scooter carried out three experiments by circling about 1.07 Km at the Politeknik Negeri Bali area. This study proves that the voltage drop on the Lead-acid and Lithium-Ion batteries has a linear relationship to the weight of an electric scooter user with a 36V 400-watt BLDC motor load. The linear equation has an intercept value of -1.36766 and a slope value of 0.04791 for the Lead-acid battery. In contrast, the linear equation has an intercept value of -2.47064 and a slope value of 0.05417 for Lithium ion batteries. The average voltage drop across lead acid is 25% higher than that across Lithium-ion.

Analysis of Pasatan Temple trekking at Pohsanten Village

This article is about the analisis of the Pasatan Temple trekking in order to propose it as a tourist trekking. In fact, Politeknik Negeri Bali wishes to develop a program package for international students to discover the village of Pohsanten, Jembrana in Bali, Indonesia. This activity should provide an opportunity for international tourists to discover the west of Bali, which is poorly promoted in tourism. Indeed, there is an exceptional natural heritage (fauna, flora, waterfalls, mountains) but also an authentic cultural heritage through the discovery of the Pasatan temple. The research method mainly used to analyse this trekking is the qualitative method. Indeed, with more than 5 participants, an interview was carried out inquiring the 9 tourism attraction aspects. The aspects of a tourism attraction are based on the aspects on duration, timing, variety of tourist attraction, the strength of the attraction theme, product delivery (guide & component), food & beverage, transportation, organizing program package, and price. Hence, the research method will not only be qualitative but also quantitative to measure the satisfaction index. The results shows that participants are satisfied with the Pasatan temple trekking and that is possible to market this activity as a tourist attraction and offer it in the program package for international students. It is expected that the results of the study could assist the Pohsanten village in developing rural tourism and be used as a reference for tourist professionnals.

Analisis Keefektifan Kalimat Bahasa Indonesia Dalam Karya Tulis Ilmiah

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of Indonesian sentences in scientific writing. This research is a descriptive-qualitative study with primary data obtained directly from the data source in the form of scientific writing (thesis) by Politeknik Negeri Bali students and lecturer. Data was collected by observing method assisted by note-taking techniques. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method based on an inductive paradigm, namely from special to general paradigm. Research results are presented with formal and informal methods. This research is based on General Linguistics Theory with the basic concept of effective sentences. The results of the research show that students and lecturer who compose their scientific writing pay little attention to the effectiveness of sentences. This is proven by the number of ineffective sentences found in scientific writing. The ineffectiveness of the sentences is caused by inappropriateness, incongruity, inaccuracy, inefficiency, and illogicality. This is because the students and lecturer who write the scientific writing are not careful in choosing and using vocabulary.

Task and Feedback-Based English for Tourism Subject Courses to Enhance Students' Character
