Analysis of factors influencing students\u27 participation in national and international competitions
Full text linkHigher education plays an important role in preparing students to become competent and competitive individuals. Furthermore, participating in academic competitions is a strategic means to foster innovative, collaborative, and competitive skills. This study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) software, a statistical technique suitable for analyzing complex relationships between variables. The analysis process involved two stages: measurement model and structural model. The analysis showed that the T-statistic for peer influence was 2.549, exceeding the threshold of 1.96, with a p-value of 0.011, below the 0.05 threshold for statistical significance. Similarly, the T-statistic for family influence was 3.803, also exceeding 1.96, with a p-value of 0.000, indicating a highly significant relationship. These findings highlight the important role of external factors, especially peer and family influence, in motivating students to participate in national and international competitions. Therefore, educational institutions need to implement targeted strategies to increase students’ motivation and encourage active involvement in these competitions

Attitude and its relationship toward information and communication technology competency among vocational engineering students
Full text linkThere are gaps between vocational engineering curricula and industry competency needs, especially in information and communication technology (ICT) competency. However, limited studies have been conducted on factors affecting ICT competency among vocational engineering students, particularly attitudes toward ICT utilization. Thus, this study aims to determine the attitude and the relationship toward ICT competency among vocational engineering students based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology II (UTAUT II). It was conducted in Higher Education Institutions in West Sumatera, Indonesia. It was a survey study with a quantitative method that used one set of questionnaires to collect data. Respondents are 805, covering first-year and last-year students enrolled in those institutions by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed descriptively for mean and standard deviation, and inferentially by employing Pearson Correlation. Findings showed that the ICT competency among vocational engineering students was lower than their attitude toward ICT utilization. A high attitude only is not enough to support the competency. Thus, this study can be used as a guide by the relevant authorities such as the Ministry of Education Affairs to take action to enhance the ICT competency among vocational engineering students from other aspects

Comparative simulation analysis of the economics of unit commitment to determine the cost of supplying electricity in simple generating systems in the Bengkulu region
Full text linkAn efficient electrical system is essential to meet the energy needs of the community without incurring high operational costs. This study aims to compare the total operational costs of power plants during three extreme time periods: low load (00:00–05:00), medium load (06:00–18:00), and high load (19:00–23:00), and to determine the most efficient combination of power plants using the Unit Commitment (UC) method based on priority list techniques. The study was conducted on the Bengkulu regional power system with the assumption of zero startup costs due to data limitations. Simulation results show that coal-fired power plants (IPP), hydroelectric power plants, and micro-hydro power plants serve as the base load power plants that are always active due to their low operational costs, while diesel power plants are only used as supplements when load exceeds the capacity of the main power plants. The lowest total operational cost occurs during low-load periods at Rp 40,936,446/hour, while the highest cost occurs during peak-load periods at Rp 65,040,329/hour. This finding confirms that optimizing the combination of power plants based on cost efficiency can significantly reduce operational expenses. In the future, it is expected that the electricity system can adopt smart grid technology to reduce, even eliminate, the use of inefficient diesel power plants
