E-Commerce Risk of Food Product to Consumer Purchase Decisions in Kalimantan Barat
No full textThe increase in internet users and the trend of online food shopping have created risks that affect consumer purchase decisions when buying food products online. This research aims to examine how risk perception influences the purchasing decisions of online food products. This study was conducted in Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat. The region's expanding digital infrastructure offers significant e-commerce growth opportunities in the food sector. However, uncertainties and perceived risks may pose challenges for both consumers and the local industry. The sample was determined using convenience sampling. The data collected was primary data obtained from a questionnaire completed by 150 consumers of online food products. The variables involved in this research were financial risk, product risk, time risk, delivery risk, and consumer purchase decisions. The data analysis utilized Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) within a quantitative framework to explore and validate relationships between key variables. This included descriptive analysis to summarize data characteristics and Partial Least Squares (PLS) testing with SmartPLS 4 software. This approach will offer a thorough overview of the data and a detailed analysis of structural relationships. The research shows that delivery risk, financial risk, and product risk significantly affect consumer purchasing decisions, with delivery risk being the most influential. Changes in delivery risk will notably impact buying behaviour. In contrast, time risk does not significantly impact purchasing decisions, as evidenced by a path coefficient (0.069), t-value (1.007<t-table 1.96), and p-value (0.314>0.05)
Evaluating Food Security: The Interplay of Income Sources for Pepper Farmers in West Kalimantan
No full textFood security is a key global challenge, with agriculture playing a crucial role in ensuring food availability, access, and stability. Farming families, especially in remote border areas, often face poverty and unmet nutritional needs, making them vulnerable to food insecurity. Factors like poor infrastructure and high food prices exacerbate the situation in these regions. Pepper farming is a vital income source for farmers in West Kalimantan's border areas. This study analyzes pepper farming income and its impact on food security using descriptive and logistic regression methods. This study aims to analyze the income structure of pepper farmers and its relationship with food security by employing descriptive statistics and logistic regression methods. Findings reveal that pepper farmers derive income from three primary sources: on-farm, off-farm, and non-farm activities, with an average annual farming income of IDR 48,331,800. The study classified most pepper farmers as "food secured," emphasizing that income from farming and off-farm work significantly influences their food security status. These results underscore the importance of income diversification and agricultural development in mitigating food insecurity, particularly in rural and border communities.

No full textBroiler chicken meat is a highly nutritious protein source that has a good taste, a delicious smell, a soft texture and is relatively inexpensive. Despite these benefits, it is a perishable food. To address this issue, cold temperature storage can be utilised as a strategy to mitigate the damage. The objective of this study was to determine the physical quality and total microbes of broiler meat stored in a refrigerator before storage in a frozen state. This study was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replicates. The treatment involved the length of cooling in the refrigerator (± 5°C) before frozen storage, which was set at 0, 2, 4, and 6 hours. The parameters observed were pH, cooking loss, water binding capacity and total microbial count. The data were analysed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results revealed that the duration of refrigerated storage had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the pH value, water binding capacity, cooking loss, and total microbes. The treatment P0 (without refrigeration) resulted in the highest pH value, the lowest water binding capacity, and a low cooking loss and total microbes. The refrigeration of broiler chicken thigh meat was observed to reduce pH value, increase water binding capacity, reduce cooking loss and increase total microbes. Therefore, refrigerating broiler chicken thigh meat for 6 hours before frozen storage can maintain the meat's quality.Daging ayam broiler merupakan bahan makanan bergizi tinggi, memiliki rasa dan aroma enak, tekstur lunak serta harga relatif murah, namun bersifat mudah rusak (perishable food). Untuk mengatasi kerusakan dapat dilakukan penyimpanan suhu dingin. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui kualitas fisik dan total mikroba daging ayam broiler disimpan dalam refrigerator sebelum penyimpanan beku. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan . Perlakuannya adalah lama pendinginan dalam refrigerator sebelum penyimpanan beku yaitu selama 0, 2, 4, dan 6 jam. Parameter yang diamati yaitu pH, susut masak, daya ikat air dan total mikroba. Data dianalisis menggunakan sidik ragam (ANOVA), dan uji Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan lama pendinginan dalam refrigerator berpengaruh nyata (P<0.05) terhadap nilai pH, Daya Ikat Air, Susut masak dan total mikroba. Perlakuan P0 (tanpa pendinginan) menghasilkan nilai pH tertinggi, daya ikat air terendah, susut masak dan total mikroba rendah. Pendinginan daging paha ayam broiler dapat menurunkan nilai pH dan susut masak, meningkatkan daya ikar air, dan total bakteri. Pendinginan dalam refrigerator sebelum penyimpanan beku selama 6 jam mampu mempertahankan kualitas daging paha ayam broile

Challenges and strategic approaches in EFL students’ prose analysis essays
Get PDFThis study investigates the difficulties experienced by EFL students in writing essays for prose analysis, along with the strategies they use to overcome these challenges. This research used qualitative research with a case study design. The participants of the study were 14 students of the English Language and Literature department from one of the state universities in Malang, East Java. The data collection took two months. The instruments used were interviews, questionaires, observation, and documentation. The result shows that students face major challenges in essay writing, particularly in content and organization, such as making good thesis statements and conclusions, and moderate difficulties with grammar. However, they demonstrated sufficient vocabulary and mechanical skills. To address these issues, students reported employing different types of strategies. The most common were mind mapping, continuous practice, and peer discussions. Moderately used strategies included seeking feedback, using audiovisual resources, and consulting dictionaries. The least used were translating, watching YouTube videos, and using AI tools or application. These strategies were applied throughout the writing process—pre-writing, whilst writing, and post-writing—and students found them effective in improving their prose analysis essays.
