Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the price of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) and to identify the most dominant factor. The study was conducted at the Sodohoa Fishery Port in Kendari City with a population of 196 fishermen and a sample of 66 respondents, determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression using a log-linear model via natural logarithmic (Ln) transformation. The results indicate that production volume (X₁), operating costs (X₂), and weather conditions (X₃) have a significant effect on skipjack tuna prices (Y). The production volume coefficient of -0.579 indicates that a 1% increase in production volume will decrease the price by 0.579%, while the operational cost coefficient of 0.023 indicates that a 1% increase in operational costs will increase the price of skipjack tuna (Y) by 0.023%. The weather coefficient of -0.1210.679 indicates that good weather tends to lower prices compared to bad weather. The R² value of 0.650 indicates that 65% of the variation in price is explained by the three variables, while 35% is influenced by other variables outside the model. Operating costs are the most dominant factor influencing skipjack tuna prices

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of agricultural activities, determine the level of soft skills development among inmates, and analyze the relationship between agricultural activities and the development of soft skills among inmates at the Class IIA Kendari Correctional Facility. The study was conducted at the Class IIA Kendari Correctional Facility from December 2025 to July 2026 using descriptive and quantitative approaches. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling and consisted of 15 participants: 10 active inmates, 2 former inmates, 2 prison staff members, and 1 agricultural extension worker. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and Likert-scale questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive analysis, Likert-scale analysis, and Spearman’s rank correlation. The results of the study indicate that agricultural activities at the Kendari Class IIA Correctional Facility have been effectively implemented through the stages of managing agricultural production facilities, carrying out crop cultivation, managing crop production, and marketing agricultural products. The level of soft skills development among inmates falls into the high category, with the responsibility indicator showing the highest achievement. The results of the Spearman’s rank correlation test revealed a positive, strong, and significant relationship between agricultural activities and the development of inmates’ soft skills, with a correlation coefficient of 0.648 and a significance level of 0.009 (p < 0.05). Thus, the better the implementation of agricultural activities, the higher the development of soft skills among inmates at the Class IIA Kendari Correctional Facility
