Study on Transportation Mode Choice Among Full-Time Students in Jakarta
University students, as a significant demographic group in urban environments, play a crucial role in daily commuting activities. Understanding their travel patterns and transportation mode preferences is essential for promoting sustainable and efficient urban planning. This study aimed to evaluate students' transportation mode preferences using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method, processed through Expert Choice software.Data were collected via questionnaires distributed to 119 full-time students. The analysis considered four main criteria: cost (C1), flexibility (C2), reliability (C3), and comfort (C4), across three transportation modes: private vehicles (M1), public transport (M2), and online-based transportation (M3). Results indicate that the majority of students (64.2%) prefer private vehicles, with cost being the most influential criterion (60.9%), followed by flexibility (20.8%), reliability (10.7%), and comfort, which was the least influential criterion (7.6%). This study provides valuable insights for policymakers to design urban transportation systems that better address the needs of university students
Analisis Stabilitas Lereng dengan Menggunakan Perkuatan Lereng dan Dinding Penahan Tanah
Suatu jalan provinsi di daerah Sumbawa Barat, Nusa Tenggara Barat yang berada di puncak suatu lereng perlu diamankan. Di kaki lereng direncanakan pemindahan suatu pipa buangan tambang menjadi lebih sempit ke arah lereng. Kegiatan ini akan menyebabkan timbulnya ketidakstabilan lereng karena lereng menjadi lebih curam. Sementara itu, dalam kondisi eksisting saja lereng sudah mengalami kelongsoran di puncak lereng. Agar kegiatan ini dapat dilakukan, maka lereng eksisiting harus dimodifikasi agar tetap stabil. Untuk mencapai desain yang optimal, dilakukan perhitungan stabilitas terhadap suatu kondisi lereng tertentu. Perhitungan stabilitas dikakukan dengan menggunakan metode elemen hingga dan metode kesetimbangan batas. Metode elemen hingga menggunakan program Plaxis 2D Advanced 2024. Perhitungan stabilitas lereng dengan menggunakan software Plaxis dimaksudkan untuk memperoleh stabilitas yang sesungguhnya. Kondisi stabilitas yang memenuhi persyaratan teknis diperoleh apabila lereng diperkuat dengan ground anchor, geotekstil, dan dinding penahan tanah di kaki lereng. Faktor kemanan dengan kondisi final ini adalah 1,521 yaitu lebih besar dari persyaratan dalam SNI yaitu 1,5. Metode kesetimbangan batas digunakan untuk mengecek stabilitas lereng apabila hanya menggunakan dinding penahan tanah, yang memberikan nilai faktor keamanan 1,387 yang hampir sama dengan hasil dari metode elemen hingga. Ini menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan stabilitas yang telah dilakukan untuk kondisi lereng ini telah berhasil dan memberi keyakinan bahwa desain yang diajukan adalah optimal

Equitable income distribution and sustainable economic growth are two main pillars in improving the quality of life for society. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Gini Ratio on the Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesia during the period 2012-2022. GDP is used as an indicator of economic performance, while the Gini ratio is used to measure income inequality. This research uses a quantitative approach with multiple regression analysis methods using secondary data obtained. The secondary data used were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and other official publications. Classical assumption tests were conducted to ensure the validity of the regression model, which included normality tests, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity. The research results show that the Gini ratio has a positive and significant effect on the HDI, indicating that a decrease in income inequality tends to improve the quality of human development. Conversely, GDP has a positive but insignificant effect on the HDI, suggesting that economic growth contributes to the improvement of the quality of life for the community
Analysis of Priority Improvement in Draft Quality of Sizing Using Grey Theory in FMEA
Draft quality is a crucial problem in the sizing section. There were 3889 warp yarn breaks for six months. The study aims to decrease quality draft defects by applying the grey theory in the traditional FMEA. After analyzing the flow process, 41 potential causes (PC) were found from 12 potential failure modes in 7 areas. There is no significant difference in the top 5 rankings of the RPN assessment on traditional FMEA and grey theory. However, there is a slight difference in ranking on 5 PC. The first priority (RPN= 48; GR=0.588) is in the beam shaft with the creel unaligned in the beam installation (pneumatic piston not parallel). The last priority (RPN= 4; GR=0.857) is a less oiling. This research can recommend an improvement sizing process based on the proposed repairs or maintenance list, using the Grey theory in the FMEA method to decrease the weaving industry defect rate.
