Nomophobia or no mobile phone phobia is a person's excessive fear of being away from gadgets. One of the influencing factors is nomophobia, which is impulsive behavior. This study aims to examine the influence of impulsive behavior on nomophobic tendencies of students in the pastoral counseling study program at the Kupang State Christian Institute. This research uses quantitative methods. Data collection tools used an impulsive behavior scale using the Impulsiveness Scale Version 11 (BIS-11) and a nomophobia scale using the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). The respondents in this study were 89 students in the pastoral counseling study program aged 19 -21 years at the Kupang State Christian Institute. The data analysis technique uses simple linear regression analysis. The results of this study prove that there is a positive and significant influence of impulsive behavior on nomophobic tendencies with an F value = 18.782 and a p value = 0.000 at R Square = 0.401. This means that the effective contribution of the impulsive behavior variable to the tendency to nomophobia is 40.1%, meaning that the higher the impulsive behavior, the greater the tendency to nomophobia.

Eko Akbar Sukmana, Firmansyah Firmansyah, Dedy Juliandri Panjaitan — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

In contemporary society, YouTube addiction in children under five has become an increasingly troubling problem. The purpose of this study is to solve the addiction problem and provide solutions that can be applied in the workplace. A modified SEIEdR (Suspectible-Exposed-Infected-Education-Recovered) model for YouTube watching addiction behavior is used. Identifying assumptions and parameters, creating mathematical models, finding equilibrium points, calculating the basic reproduction number (R0), conducting model stability analysis, and performing simulations using Maple software are all methodological processes. The main findings show that if R0 < 1, the addictive behavior of watching YouTube will decrease over time and will become endemic. In addition, the individual rate values of active and novice viewers who are educated have a significant effect on reducing the population of novice and active YouTube viewers. These simulation results improve our understanding of the dynamics of YouTube viewing addiction and offer practical solutions to this problem.

Indonesia is a country that has advantages in the agricultural sector which has the largest plantation and agricultural areas in ASEAN, one of which is oil palm plantations. Indonesia is one of the largest crude palm oil (CPO) business players in the world. More and more palm oil mills and oil palm land are being converted to oil palm cultivation, because oil palm plantations are more beneficial for farmers and palm oil processors. Palm oil plantations are still trying in several ways to maintain stable market demand, one of which is by increasing palm oil production, because palm oil is the main source of other product derivatives. Palm oil production fluctuates every month, but the ups and downs are caused by many factors, namely climate, rainfall, soil fertility, selling prices, and others. Reduced production has a direct impact on the income of farmers and workers in the sector, which in turn can cause economic instability. Actions are needed to ensure the continuity of this industry, one of which is by making predictions. One prediction technique is the Backpropagation artificial neural network. The prediction model can provide very accurate estimates of palm oil production at the provincial level. By analyzing historical data, this research can identify patterns that can help predict future palm oil production. The urgency lies in the strategic role of palm oil in the Indonesian economy.

Komunikasi Strategis Lobi dan Negosiasi dalam Upaya Peredaman Konflik Agraria Desa Pakel, Banyuwangi

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Land is an important part of human life. Therefore, the state as the highest organization is obliged to provide people's agrarian rights. However, until now, agrarian conflicts still haunt the affected communities. An example is Pakel Village, Banyuwangi, where most of the area is still controlled by the colonial plantation authorities and Perhutani. The conflict, which started in 1993, then re-emerged in 2012 and continued in 2017 until now. Until now there has been no clear solution and the state has not been able to fulfill its promise. Neither legally nor has it been able to provide a protective umbrella that can guarantee the Pakel community. This research aims to analyze conflict and how strategic communication can reduce agrarian disputes in Pakel Village. The research is descriptive qualitative type. Data collection techniques in this research were obtained through literature study or library research through journal research article sources and online news. The research results reveal several stages of strategic communication that can be pursued in the process of reducing agrarian conflict, namely: (1) consolidating internal parties related to conflict resolution; (2) conducting mediation involving all parties involved in the conflict; and (3) involving stakeholders in conflict resolution. Consolidation is a communication process, where all parties are involved in high intensity discussions. The mediation process is also part of the communication strategy in resolving agrarian conflicts. Through this consolidation and mediation, the government as the guarantor of law and justice or what we can call a mediator can map the point of origin of the conflict, the actors involved, the magnitude of the losses, as well as the strategies and tactics for resolving it.

Deret Fourier dengan Pendekatan Numerik Menggunakan Metode Trapezium

Muhammad Razali, Cut Latifah Zahari — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Fourier series has the ability to decompose a periodic function into a collection of sine and cosine wave sums. Another way to express a function into an infinite series is with the Maclaurin series or Taylor series but both of these series require that the function must have the first derivative, the second derivative and so on of the function is defined at its expansion point and there must be no discontinuity value at that point. However, the advantage of the Fourier series is that we can decompose the function into an infinite series containing the sum of sine and cosine terms even though the function cannot be differentiated and has discontinuity at some points. The Fourier series equation of an analytical function is obtained by first finding the values of the Fourier coefficients using analytical integrals. In the case of functions formed from numerical data that are assumed to have a periodic pattern, the Fourier series formula that uses analytical integrals to find its Fourier coefficients can no longer be used so that the numerical approach using the Trapezium method is an alternative that allows us to find the Fourier series equation for a periodic function expressed numerically. We use 12 points as the basis for the calculation in the Trapezium method to approximate the Fourier series numerically. This paper presents a numerical approach to solve the problem.
