Abstract

This study aims to analyze the water quality of the Senibung River flowing through the oil palm plantation of PT Telen, East Kutai. This analysis is very important to ensure that the water used as domestic water and the water used in palm oil processing is in good condition and not contaminated. The methods used are STORET and biological analysis with plankton abundance as an indicator of water quality. Sampling was conducted at the upstream (inlet) and downstream (outlet) sections of the river in March, June, September, and December 2024. The results indicate that the water quality is classified as good; however, several parameters such as TDS, BOD, nitrite, and ammonia exceed the threshold of water quality standards. The plankton diversity index in the downstream section is higher than in the upstream section, with values of H’ 1.47 and 1.17, respectively. Water discharge shows a significant positive relationship with TSS, BOD, COD, and the H' index, with the H' index having the strongest influence (R² = 0.711). The conclusion of this study is that the water quality in the downstream section is better than in the upstream section, and water discharge significantly affects water quality.

Abstract

The continuity of operations in palm oil companies heavily relies on the quality of their human resources. This study aims to assess the relationship and impact of work experience duration on employee performance in the fertilization division. A quantitative approach was employed, using simple linear regression analysis and t-tests. The sample was selected using purposive sampling (saturation sampling), with respondents consisting of employees in the fertilization division. Data were collected through 26 questionnaires and supported by secondary information. The results indicate a positive correlation between work experience and employee performance, although the influence is not statistically significant. The low level of work experience—particularly among employees who have worked for less than a year—is the main factor behind the insignificant impact. This study also highlights the need for companies to provide training and skill development programs to enhance work experience through internal training, as well as to consider other factors such as motivation, a supportive work environment, and effective leadership.
