Abstract

Horticultural crop cultivation has great potential in Indonesia due to its tropical climate, but there are many obstacles in the process of cultivating horticultural crops. Obstacles in the cultivation of horticultural crops are the emergence of weeds on the land, the absorption of nutrients that are less than optimal, and also the intensity of sunlight, and temperature. This research was conducted on green lettuce (Lactuca sativa L) cultivation land in Kediri Regency, East Java. The research design carried out was Divided Plots Design (RPT) with 2 independent variables, namely the percentage of shading and PGPR concentration. The observation variable is the type of dominant weed and the yield of green lettuce plants, the observation data were then analysed using ANOVA with BNJ 5%. Based on the results of data analysis that has been done, it is known that the weeds that dominate green lettuce cultivation land in 0% and 25% shade treatment are broadleaf weeds, namely purslane and Euphorbia, while the dominant weed in 50% shade treatment is teki. The teki weed that dominates in the 50% shade treatment causes the yield of green lettuce plants, namely the fresh weight of consumption, to be lower than the 25% shade treatment. The second observation variable is the yield of green lettuce plants, in this case the fresh weight of consumption. The largest fresh weight of consumption is in the 25% shade treatment. This is because the 25% shade treatment has an optimal microclimate (temperature, sunlight intensity, and humidity) for green lettuce growth. In addition, the weeds found in the 25% shade treatment were more dominant from the broadleaf weed family which did not have as much allelopathy as the teki tuber..

Abstract

This study focuses on identifying the reasons behind the lack of social awareness among children aged 5 to 6 years at Tiberias Kindergarten in Tuak Daun Merah, Kupang City. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving semi-structured interviews with five parents and two teachers who were purposively selected and recruited through referrals. The data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, along with source triangulation. The findings show that low social awareness is influenced by children’s internal characteristics (such as stubbornness and emotional reactivity), family influences (including authoritarian parenting styles and physical punishment), and social environmental factors (such as aggressive interactions with peers). Although the school environment provides some positive effects, it has not yet been fully effective, highlighting the need for collaboration among all stakeholders.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to identify and examine whether perceived organizational innovation (POI) moderates the relationship between perceived trust (PT), perceived risk (PR), social influence (SI), perceived ease of use (PEU), and perceived usefulness (PU) with the use of internet-based payment applications by students (IPA). The analysis is grounded in the Resource-Based Theory (RBT) as an extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected using a survey method through questionnaires distributed to students who use internet-based payment systems. A total of 468 student respondents were obtained using a non-probability sampling method, specifically convenience (accidental) sampling. SPSS 25 was used to conduct descriptive statistical analysis and regression testing for all hypotheses. The results indicate that four factors—PT, SI, PEU, and PU—have a significant positive effect on the use of internet-based payment systems, while PR has a significant negative effect. Another finding shows that perceived organizational innovation (POI) significantly strengthens the relationship between all independent variables (PT, PR, SI, PEU, and PU) and the dependent variable (IPA).

Abstract

Solar panel performance is strongly influenced by thermal conditions during the energy conversion process, especially in high-temperature environments such as tropical regions. An increase in photovoltaic module surface temperature can reduce output voltage and directly affect power output and system efficiency. This study aims to compare the temperature coefficient and thermal degradation characteristics of 50 WP monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels through an experimental approach using artificial radiation simulation. The research method used two photovoltaic modules, namely monocrystalline and polycrystalline types, connected to a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller system. A 1000 W halogen lamp was used as an artificial radiation source to simulate solar exposure and increase the panel surface temperature. Electrical parameters, including voltage and current, were collected in real time using Modbus RS485 communication and monitored through computer software. Panel surface temperature was measured using an RS485-based temperature sensor integrated into the data acquisition system. The analysis included calculation of output power, power variation with temperature, and determination of the temperature coefficient based on experimental data. The results showed that both panel types experienced performance reduction as temperature increased, but with different degradation characteristics. In contrast, the polycrystalline panel showed more stable thermal behavior. These findings indicate that temperature has an important role in photovoltaic system performance and should be considered when selecting solar panels for high-temperature environments. This study also demonstrates that artificial radiation simulation can be used as an alternative method for thermal characterization, although it has limitations compared to standard solar radiation conditions.
