The Impact Analysis of Bauxite Downstreaming on the Indonesian Economy: Case Study in PT Bintan Alumina Indonesia

This research analyzes the impact of investment and bauxite downstream activities by PT Bintan Alumina Indonesia (PT BAI) on the Indonesian economy using the input-output method applied to the Riau Islands Province, West Kalimantan Province and Indonesia. The imposition of stimulus on sectors related to the construction phase and operational phase of the alumina and aluminum industry in the Galang Batang SEZ is the concept that underlies how final demand in other sectors is affected. Economic improvement is characterized by increased output, GDRP, people's income, and the creation of job opportunities. During the construction phase of PT BAI (2016-2029), it generally had a positive impact on the increase in output, income, average GRDP, and average job creation in 52 industrial sectors in the Riau Islands Province. During the operational phase, calculated through three scenarios applied to the Riau Islands Province, West Kalimantan, and Indonesia, with the assumption of full downstreaming of PT BAI's products into the domestic market, shows the greatest impact. The impact includes the increase of Indonesia's output value until 2030 reaching IDR 547.07 trillion, an average annual GDP growth of 0.099 percent, a national income increases until 2030 reaching IDR 74.22 trillion, and an average job creation of 107,105 people per year in 52 industrial sectors in Indonesia. To achieve the optimal target of PT Bintan Alumina Indonesia's (BAI) presence in the domestic bauxite value chain, strengthening the downstream process and downstream industries of alumina and aluminum domestically is needed. Fiscal incentives, the establishment of pro-downstream regulations, and investor protection are crucial to implement.

Need Analysis for Development (E-Module) of Analytical Chemistry Integrated with Environmental Analysis Research Results

The current condition is still limited to analytical chemistry teaching materials that are integrated with research results, only using Analytical Chemistry textbooks as teaching materials or in the form of e-books. This is one of the causes of the lack of student interest in participating in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this research is to produce innovative teaching materials in analytical chemistry based on research results, aiming to enhance students' interest in learning.This research is the initial stage as a basis for developing analytical chemistry e-modules integrated with research results. The development model used is ADDIE which consists of five stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. This research is limited to the needs analysis stage which includes RPS analysis, analysis of problems and needs of lecturers and problems and needs of students. Data collection instruments used interviews and questionnaires. The subjects of this study consisted of 6 Analytical Chemistry lecturers and 59 students from Riau Province, Riau Islands, North Sumatra, and West Java. The research results of this preliminary analysis include RPS analysis where there are 10 topics of study material and based on the needs questionnaire the topic of quantitative analysis is the topic with the highest percentage to be developed into an e-module. Then also obtained the results that there are still some shortcomings with the teaching materials used today, so that 98% of lecturers and students stated that they need the development of teaching materials, especially those that are digital-based and can be integrated with research results which are evidence of the implementation of analytical chemistry learning theory.

Abstract. Susilowati A, Wijaya K, Mawazin, Rachmat HH, Lismayati Y, Kurniawan H, Ginting IM. 2024. Conserving dipterocarps biodiversity in remnant forests of small islands in Batam Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 726-733. The protected forest of Sei Harapan is a remnant forest in Batam Island, the Riau Islands Province, Indonesia and one of the keruing (Dipterocarpus spp.) habitats on Sumatra Island. Illegal logging for its wood and land degradation have significantly reduced the keruing population. The objective of this research was to assess the diversity of keruing species and floristic composition in the Sei Harapan Protected Forest. This study employed a vegetation analysis method using purposive sampling with plotted lines and the transect placement based on the keruing position. The research revealed more than 70 species, three of which were Dipterocarpaceae species, including Vatica pauciflora, Shorea curtisii, and Dipterocarpus rigidus. D. rigidus had the highest IVI at the sapling (52.80%) and pole (67.22%). However, D. rigidus ranked 13th in the seedling stage, with an IVI of 5.79%. The diversity index was high at the seedling stage (3.73), moderate at sapling (2.25), pole (2.76), and tree stage (2.89). The evenness index was high at all growth stages, with values of 0.94 (seedling), 0.98 (sapling), 0.91 (pole), and 0.81 (tree). The richness index at the seedling, pole, and tree stage were categorized as high, with values of 10.40, 5.39, and 7.09, respectively, whereas the richness index at the sapling stage was moderate at 3.51. The study finding pointed out that the existence of Sei Harapan remnant forest requires to be preserved considering its essential function for preserving high economic value tree species, especially Dipterocarp. The comprehensive conservation effort for dipterocarps species, is crucial considering the research findings revealed a problem of continuity of species regeneration and the emergence of new pioneer species as the consequence of anthropogenic disturbance.

Biplot and Procrustes Analysis of Poverty Indicators By Province in Indonesia in 2015 dan 2019

Poverty is one of the country's problems that the government should overcome. Poverty is influenced by several indicators. The success of a government can be seen from changes in poverty. This study compares the percentage of Indonesia's poverty indicators at the beginning of office (2015) and the end of office (2019) of one government period. The indicators that most affect the poverty rate in 2015 and 2019 are seen using biplot analysis while to measure the similarity and the magnitude of the percentage change in poverty from 2015 to 2019 can use procrustes analysis. The results of the biplot analysis show that households have access to proper sanitation services as the indicator with the highest diversity in 2015 while in 2019 it is the poor young population (15-24 years old) who are not in school and working or attending training and households have access to decent drinking water sources. Riau Islands, DKI Jakarta, DI Yogyakarta, and Bali are the provinces that have the highest values in almost all poverty indicators except the indicator of the percentage of young people (15-24 years old) who are not in school, working or attending training. The results of the procrustean analysis show an increase of 9.7% in Indonesia's poverty indicators in 2019 compared to 2015. So it can be said that the two configurations are very similar.

K-Means Clustering Algorithm: A Study on Unemployment Rates in Districts/Cities in Three Highest Provinces

Unemployment is a recurring issue every year, particularly in provinces with high unemployment rates, posing economic and social challenges.
