Abstract

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.

Abstract

As the digital age continues to reshape educational paradigms, it is essential to investigate the purposeful integration of media into infants’ lives to enhance language acquisition “Harmonizing Voices” explores how age-appropriate media, such as videos, apps, and interactive content, can complement traditional methods, providing infants with a multi-sensory and engaging platform for language exploration. Today, various strategies are employed to stimulate babies from pregnancy through infancy, with mothers increasingly using media as a tool. This includes playing music during pregnancy and introducing nursery rhymes through media post-birth to create a sensory -rich environment. This study investigates the synergy between the melodic allure of English nursery rhymes and intricate process of a baby’s linguistic development. Digital platforms like YouTube and Netflix offer numerous nursery rhymes, such as Cocomelon and Bebefinn, which are popular among infants. This research aims to evaluate which of these nursery rhymes programs is more effective in stimulating infants and which elicits more positive reactions. Caregivers, educators, and researchers will gain insights into the connections between musicality, language and early cognitive development through this exploration. The study addresses the identification of high quality media content, strategies for joint engagement between caregivers and infants, and the potential impact of media on various facets of language development. By fostering an environment where technology harmonizes with natural language acquisition processes, this research aspires to contribute valuable insights for educators, caregivers, and researchers. The objective of this study is to observe and compare infants’ reactions to two popular nursery rhyme programs, Cocomelon and Bebefinn. The research aims to identify which program stimulates more positive engagement, thereby providing a deeper understanding of infants’ preferences and the effectiveness of media content in early language development.

Abstract

In an increasingly competitive educational landscape, many institutions are seeking technologies that enhance performance. An academic information system is a system developed to manage academic data using computer technology, transforming academic processes into useful information. This research aims to design a web-based academic information system at Holistic Children Center Elementary School. Currently, the management of academic data at the school is conducted manually using books and Microsoft Excel, which is prone to data loss and inefficient in tracking academic information. The implementation of an academic information system with a centralized database method is expected to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of academic data management and support the enhancement of the school's accreditation. The research methods employed include direct observation, interviews with school officials, and literature studies to obtain relevant theories and methods. The results indicate that the designed academic information system can manage data centrally and structurally, facilitating information presentation for teachers, students, and parents. Additionally, this system can enhance the school's reputation through more organized and integrated data management and simplify the tracking and documentation of alumni.

Abstract

Esports is an official sports branch in Indonesia, as stated in the results of the KONI National Working Meeting (RAKERNA) in 2020, which declared esports to be part of the prestigious sports branch. This is also in line with the establishment of the Indonesian Esports Association (PBESI) as the governing body of electronic sports under the National Sports Committee of Indonesia (KONI). Research results show that the t-value of both variables is below 0.005, and F calculated is greater than F table (570.063 > 2.91). It can be explained that leadership has a significant positive influence on the achievement motivation of esports athletes in the provincial training center (Pelatda) of North Sumatra. Compensation also has a significant positive influence on the achievement motivation of esports athletes in the provincial training center (Pelatda) of North Sumatra partially. Furthermore, it is found that both leadership and compensation have a significant positive influence on the achievement motivation of esports athletes in the provincial training center (Pelatda) of North Sumatra simultaneously.
