Rainfall Variability and Its Influence on P Palm Oil Productivity (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.): Case Study at PT. Nusaina Group Seram Island Province Maluku
Get PDFRainfall variability significantly influences plant productivity; including palm oil. This research aims to describe rainfall variability and its influence on oil palm productivity on Seram Island, Maluku Province. The data collected consists of rainfall, palm oil production data and supporting data. The analytical method used consists of generating rainfall data, analyzing extreme rainfall conditions and regression analysis to see the relationship between rainfall and palm oil productivity. The research results show that the El Nino rainfall anomaly at the research location in the 1992-2021 period occurred 8 times with a frequency of once every 2 - 6 years or an average of once every 3 years. La Nina occurs 7 times with a frequency of 1 – 10 years or an average of once every 4 years. The very extreme El Nino caused a reduction in rainfall at the research location by 888 mm or 40% of normal conditions, whereas the very extreme La Nina event resulted in an increase in rainfall of 1491 mm or 58% of normal conditions. Rainfall variability is very closely related to oil palm productivity with the regression equation Y = 94.05 – 0.1558x + 0.000083x 2 – 10 -8 x 3 and the accuracy level R 2 is 98.6%

Implementation of Work Immersion in the New Normal: Basis for Students’ Quality Performance and Satisfaction
Get PDFThis study evaluated the implementation of work immersion in the new normal, students\u27 quality performance, and work immersion satisfaction. The relationship between variables and the mediating effect of students\u27 quality performance between work immersion implementation and student satisfaction was also investigated. Adherence, exposure, quality of delivery in terms of work immersion curriculum, work immersion processes, and work immersion assessment, as well as participant responsiveness, were used to assess the extent of work immersion implementation. In addition, the level of satisfaction among students was evaluated using Task values (attainment value, intrinsic value, utility value, and cost); Motivation factors (work itself, achievement, and responsibility); and Hygiene factors (administrative policies, supervision, interpersonal, and working conditions). On the other hand, students’ quality performance was gauged base on teamwork, communication, attendance/punctuality, productivity/resilience, initiative/proactivity, judgement/decision-making, and dependability. Respondents are Grade 12 students from public secondary schools in the SDO Tayabas who have participated in actual work immersion activities in an authentic workplace. The structured questionnaire was created and validated to collect data from respondents via Google Forms to determine the extent of the research variables and their association. These data were analyzed to obtain reliable and valid study results. The study\u27s findings revealed that work immersion program implementation is significantly related to student satisfaction. Work immersion program implementation is significant to student quality performance; student satisfaction creates a relationship with work immersion program implementation. The mediation analysis results indicate that the overall student’s quality performance can transmit the effect of influenced implementation of work immersion, which increases student Satisfaction. Also, partial mediation exists considering the extent of the mediating effect of students\u27 quality performance between the work immersion implementation and the students\u27 satisfaction with work immersion. This is due to the analysis that the work immersion implementation as the independent variable significantly affects a mediating variable, which is the students\u27 quality performance. The students\u27 quality performance as the mediating variable has a direct impact on the students\u27 satisfaction with work immersion as the independent variable
