Abstract

This study analyzed the performance of the Seuseupan Irrigation Area in Cirebon Regency using the E-PAKSI application. The research employed a descriptive-qualitative method with both primary and secondary data collection. The results revealed a combined main and tertiary irrigation system performance index of 57.62%, which falls into the underperformance category. Water discharge analysis indicated sufficient supply for the rice-rice cropping pattern across the 1,347-hectare service area. However, institutional aspects and personnel were found to be non-compliant with regulations. Furthermore, there was a significant increase in maintenance costs (AKNOP), rising from Rp2.31 billion in 2022 to Rp22.33 billion in 2024. This highlights the critical need for serious attention to the management of irrigation assets and infrastructure in the region.

Abstract

Cirebon City has high local cultural wealth, ranging from batik, craft art, to traditional culinary, seen from this potential, the creative economy sector in Cirebon City is still relatively small contribution (BPS, 2022) . The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a purposive approach through interviews, observations, and analysis using content analysis. This research shows that creative economy actors in Cirebon City have a high enthusiasm for advancing local culture, through product innovation. However, intersectoral coordination remains weak. The government has facilitated programs such as training and product promotion, but understanding of the concepts of the creative economy and city branding remains unequal. Cross-sector collaboration and strengthened communication strategies are needed to optimize the potential of local culture in building a city's image.

Abstract

Power losses in electrical distribution systems are a major challenge that can reduce the efficiency of energy delivery. This study focuses on reducing such losses in medium-voltage distribution networks, particularly on the Sindanglaut Feeder at the Ciledug customer service unit of the State Electricity Company. The analysis employed load flow simulations using ETAP 12.6.0 software, with an optimization strategy of increasing the cable cross-section from 150 mm² to 240 mm² to assess its impact on voltage drop and distribution efficiency. Simulation results indicated that, prior to optimization, the average active power was 1.40 kW, reactive power was 5.75 kVar, and voltage drop was 3.28%. After optimization, these values decreased to 1.13 kW, 5.16 kVar, and 2.76%, accompanied by a significant reduction in total power losses. These findings demonstrate that cable size adjustment based on technical analysis is effective in improving distribution system performance and can serve as a reference for developing efficient, data-driven distribution networks.

Abstract

Currently, the use of social media is increasing, with Instagram being popular in Indonesia. In October 2023, there were 104.8 million Instagram users in Indonesia. The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program launched by the government aims to provide healthy food for vulnerable groups, especially children. This study aims to analyze the meaning of posts related to the Free Nutritious Meal issue on Instagram using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. This study is qualitative descriptive, describing and analyzing the meaning of Instagram posts about the MBG program. This method focuses on the interpretation of visual and textual signs, and their influence on public understanding. This study shows that visual and text posts on the Instagram account @tempodotco related to the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program not only function as information media, but also form deeper meanings through visual and narrative signs. By using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, namely through three levels of significance: denotation, connotation, and myth, it was found that the MBG discourse strategically presents the state as the main actor that is "present", "cares", and "saves" the people from the nutritional crisis.

Abstract

The use of water in the agricultural sector continues to be carried out to increase demand and availability in an economical and efficient manner. Irrigation is a way to meet plant needs. There are several irrigation systems, including the smart watering system. This system provides water flow from the main reservoir to the plant reservoir through outlet holes and hose channels. Then the water from the plant reservoir is absorbed through the capillary axis. On a household scale, capillary irrigation can be developed. This research was carried out on spinach plants using a treatment design method using two capillary axes by adjusting the water opening and closing system from the main reservoir. The research parameters consisted of water use, water loss and root fresh weight. The research results showed that evaporation occurred every day under normal conditions on days 1 to 10. There was an increase in evaporation on the 12th day until harvest. The main reservoir measures 46 cm long and 31 cm wide. The upper limit of the water level is 13 cm and the lower limit of the water level is 9 cm from the bottom of the main reservoir. The water level condition from day 1 until harvest time decreased by up to 9.8 cm. The fresh weight condition obtained on day 1 was 0 grams, day 13 was 21.23 grams and day 28 (harvest) was 37.12 grams.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate land subsidence based on the results of Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) tests in the construction project of Sultan Suriansyah Hospital, Banjarmasin. CPT data is used to predict soil bearing capacity and soil layer properties based on qc and fs parameters. Meanwhile, PDA is used to assess the actual bearing capacity of the pole and the actual post-piling decrease. The results showed that the carrying capacity of the mast ranged from 133 to 143 tons with a decrease of 18.0 to 19.4 mm. Meanwhile, the prediction of a decrease based on CPT with the Vesic method is ±9.58 mm. These results were further compared and validated with laboratory data and direct shear test results.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the factors that influence the farming of sugar snake fruit (Zalacca Var. Amboinensis) and income of sugar snake fruit (Zalacca Var. Amboinensis) in Katomporang Village, Duampanua District, Pinrang Regency. The types of data collected are primary data and secondary data. The results showed that the production factors that influenced the salak sugar farming in Katomporang Village, the real effect of land area was tcount (2.955) < t0.05, meaning that the larger the land area, the higher the production yield. The real influence of labor was tcount ( -1.272) > t0.05, meaning that if the number of workers increases, it will also affect production results. The real effect of seedlings is tcount (-1.746) > t0.05, meaning that the more expensive the price of seeds, the less ability of farmers to meet the needs of salak seeds. and the real effect of fertilizer tcount (-0.070) > t0.05 means that the more expensive the price of fertilizer, the less ability of farmers to meet the needs of their zalacca seeds, so that salak production will decrease. What has a real effect on the production of salak farming is the land area of ​​1.3862 (X1). Revenue from the production of sugar salak farming is Rp. 11,709,673/0.0032. So the average salak farming income earned by farmers is Rp. 10,530,304/0.0032, this has a great opportunity in the development of salak farming.
