Revitalizing Banking: An In-Depth Analysis of Business Model Performance in Indonesian Digital Banking – Neo-Banks Vs Unit Business Banks

/in /by

The study uses the Independent Test Analysis approach to calculate the business model bank performance of Indonesian commercial banks, focusing on digital banks. The research uses quarterly reports from 2020 to 2023 to collect secondary data. The study includes Digital Banks in Indonesia, including 4 neo-banks and 14 unit business banks. The results show a significant difference in bank business model performance between unit business banks and neo-banks. The Non-Interest Income (NII) results show no significant difference, but the mean results show a slight difference in performance. The author assumes that unit business banks have a diverse and comprehensive ecosystem in banking activities due to their wider scope of business activities compared to neo-banks.  

The Influence of Teamwork and Work Environment on Service Quality through Job Satisfaction

/in /by

Optimal service for public service users is a necessity for increasing citizen satisfaction. The determinant of service quality lies in employee performance. There are several factors that influence service quality, including team work, work environment and job satisfaction. This research aims to: examine the influence of team work and the work environment on job satisfaction; examine the influence of team work, work environment and job satisfaction on service quality; and examine the influence of teamwork and work environment on service quality through job satisfaction.

The population of this study was 49 Civil Servants (PNS) of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Service, Mojokerto Regency, East Java. Meanwhile, determining the sample size uses a saturated sampling technique, that is, the entire population is taken as a sample. Meanwhile, data collection uses a questionnaire distributed to respondents. The data analysis technique uses SEM PLS.

The research results show that: (1) teamwork and the work environment have a significant effect on job satisfaction; (2) team work, work environment, and job satisfaction have a significant effect on service quality; and (3) teamwork and the work environment influence service quality through job satisfaction but are not significant. For this reason, if the management of the Mojokerto Regency One Stop Investment and Integrated Services Department seeks to improve the quality of service to citizens, this can be done by strengthening teamwork and creating a conducive work environment for employees.

A Study of Farmer Profiles under Climate Change Conditions in Sumenep District Indonesia

/in /by

The purpose of the study was to determine the profile of beef cattle farmers in Sumenep District and to determine the economic activities of beef cattle farming in Sumenep District before and during climate change which includes the ease of selling beef cattle, selling prices, and business profits. The research was conducted using a survey method with sampling techniques using purposive sampling with the criteria of farmers who have been doing beef cattle farming for at least two years with active livestock groups and have a minimum of two years of farming experience. Farmers who were used as respondents amounted to 150 respondents. The analysis used is descriptive with mode measurement or the most frequently occurring value. The results showed that beef cattle farmers in Sumenep district mostly have three beef cattle on their farms (65% or 97 people). Most respondents were between 15 and 64 years old (83%), had primary school education (36%) and had the most farming experience in the 20 to 30 years age range (42%). A total of 35% of respondents had three family members. Before climate change, farmers found it easy to sell their products, the selling price was good and it was easy to make a profit. Whereas during climate change, farmers found it difficult to sell their products, selling prices were lower and it was difficult to make a profit.

Petrophysics of Low Resistivity Reservoir

/in /by

Low resistivity reservoirs have long been known in the oil and gas industry as reservoirs that have significant potential and contribution to oil and gas production. This reservoir is very unique because of its relatively low resistivity readings (< 5 Ohm) and often other log responses do not show the way carbonate-containing reservoirs do, so they are often overlooked and not considered as potential carbon reservoirs. The low resistivity reading also causes the Water Saturation (Sw) value to be too high, which contributes to why the reservoir is overlooked. Theoretically, the factors that cause low resistivity readings are high clay/shale content, fine grain size, high salinity air formation, presence of microporosity and presence of conductive minerals which affect resistivity log readings in addition to other things such as low structured reservoirs. and there is a significant slope of the layers.  Based on statistic reports, generally in low resistivity reservoirs there is a combination of two or more of the causal factors mentioned.

This study aims to identify the characteristics of low resistivity reservoirs in the Upper Cibulakan Formation, West Java Basin, especially from log readings and recognition of what factors support reservoir formation both from the results of core and log analysis as well as selecting combinations for calculating water saturation. From the low resistivity reservoir characteristics, it is hoped that it can be used to find and identify the distribution of similar reservoirs so that potential reservoirs that have been overlooked so far can be identified, discovered and developed which in the end are expected to provide additional contributions both in terms of education and for the oil and gas industry in finding new reserves for oil and gas production in Indonesia.

Identifying Old Javanese Eco-lexicon in Ocean Themed Kakawin

/in /by

Eco-lexicon is a lexicon characterized by a natural configuration of meanings, which is relevant to the field of eco-linguistics. Old Javanese kakawin poetry was traditionally associated with kingdoms, but there is now an effort to create kakawin, especially on ocean-themed topics. This development is intriguing and aligns with the research objective, which is to identify the Old Javanese eco-lexicon in kakawin created on the island of Bali. Considering that kakawin employs Old Javanese, which is no longer active as a communicative language, the study utilizes five sources of kakawin data written in Old Javanese, created in 2023. Data were collected through observational methods and analyzed distributionally. The research findings revealed 25 basic forms of eco-lexicons and 9 derived forms in ocean-themed kakawin.

Addressing the Environmental Concerns: Statistical Approach for Mg2+ and Mn2+ Mitigation in Water System Sustainability in Indonesia

/in /by

This research aimed to determine the most effective adsorbent for reducing Mg2+ and Mn2+ levels in residential water near the oil and gas industry in the Tambun area, Bekasi, Indonesia. Bentonite was tested with varying temperature conditions. The study further compared activated charcoal and bentonite as potential adsorbents, examining their efficacy under different contact times (10, 20, and 30 minutes). Thus, sampling followed the SNI 6989.57:2008 method for surface water sampling, with bentonite conditioning and activation as initial steps. Next, the adsorption experiments utilized a separating funnel, varying the contact time between adsorbent and sample. Hence, the filtrates were analyzed quantitatively for Mn2+ using atomic absorption spectroscopy and for Mg2+ through complexometric titration.
