Praktik Terbaik dalam Budidaya Kelapa Sawit untuk Petani Kecil: Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Lamandau
Get PDFThe palm oil industry in Indonesia has become one of the largest sources of vegetable oil in the world and is important to the country's economy, contributing significantly to state revenue. This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic characteristics of smallholder oil palm farmers in Lamandau Regency, as well as the challenges they face in cultivation practices. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature study and semi-structured interviews with two smallholder farmers. The results of the study show that the majority of smallholders have less than 10 hectares of land and are classified as lower-middle income. They are generally not members of cooperatives or farmer associations, which results in weak bargaining power in the supply chain and dependence on middlemen for the sale of their crops. In addition, smallholder farmers face challenges in accessing financing, inadequate infrastructure, and market price fluctuations. The conclusion of this study shows that in order to improve the welfare of smallholder farmers and palm oil productivity, efforts are needed to increase access to financing, strengthen farmer organizations through cooperatives, and improve infrastructure and access to better markets.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami karakteristik sosial-ekonomi petani kecil kelapa sawit di Kabupaten Lamandau, serta tantangan yang mereka hadapi dalam praktik budidaya. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi literatur dan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan petani kecil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas petani kecil memiliki lahan kurang dari 10 hektar dan tergolong dalam kategori ekonomi menengah ke bawah.

ESG Practices and Firm Performance: A Conceptual Framework with Evidence from Global and Malaysian Contexts
Get PDFEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices have become pivotal in shaping corporate strategies and influencing stakeholder perceptions worldwide. This conceptual paper investigates the complex relationship between ESG practices and firm performance, with a dual focus on global trends and empirical insights from Malaysia as a representative emerging market. Anchored in key theoretical frameworks including stakeholder theory, agency theory, and the resource-based view, the study synthesizes contemporary literature to assess how ESG elements affect financial outcomes, particularly Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q. While global evidence generally affirms the value-enhancing effects of ESG adoption, findings within the Malaysian context remain mixed. Governance components demonstrate a consistent positive correlation with firm performance, whereas environmental and social initiatives often require longer time horizons to generate measurable financial benefits. Based on the theoretical integration and contextual analysis, this paper advocates for stronger alignment of ESG strategies with governance mechanisms, enhanced regulatory support for ESG disclosure, and further research into sector-specific ESG impacts. The study contributes to the expanding ESG literature by contextualizing its relevance within Malaysia’s institutional landscape and providing a foundation for future empirical investigations
Analysis of the Effect of Biodiesel Use on the Wear of Heavy Equipment Machinery Components in the Mining Industry
Get PDFThis study analyzes the effect of the use of B30/B35 biodiesel on the wear of heavy equipment engine components in the Indonesian mining industry. Through a longitudinal experimental design for 12 months, the study was conducted on 24 units of heavy equipment consisting of excavators, bulldozers, and articulated dump trucks in three different mining locations: a coal mine in East Kalimantan, a nickel mine in Southeast Sulawesi, and a gold mine in Papua. The results show that the use of B30/B35 biodiesel consistently reduces the wear rate of components compared to conventional diesel. Nozzle injector wear in the biodiesel group is 18.6% lower, piston ring wear is 15.3% lower, cylinder liner wear is 12.7% lower, and bearing wear is 14.2% lower. SEM and EDS analysis revealed that biodiesel forms a tribochemical layer on metal surfaces that reduces direct contact between surfaces and minimizes wear. The analysis of the lubricant showed lower concentration of metal particles and better lubricant quality parameters in the biodiesel group. The developed predictive model indicates an extension of component life of around 15-20% with the use of biodiesel, potentially providing maintenance cost savings of 12-18% per year. These findings change the perception that the use of biodiesel is solely regulatory compliance, to an operational strategy that provides economic and technical benefits. This study provides a scientific basis for the optimization of preventive maintenance programs for mining heavy equipment that uses biodiesel and supports the sustainability of the implementation of the national mandatory biodiesel policy
Characteristics of Tool Tilt Variation in Friction Stir Welding HDPE with Tool Made of 7075 Aluminum on Tensile and Bending Strengths
Get PDFHigh-Density Polyethylene's (HDPE) potential is highlighted by the growing need for lightweight, high-strength materials in the automotive and aerospace industries. Friction Stir Welding (FSW) provides a solid-state joining method with low thermal degradation for producing high-quality joints in this thermoplastic material. With an emphasis on tensile and bending strength, this study attempts to examine how tool tilt angle variation affects HDPE joint quality. Three different tilt angle variations—0°, 1°, and 1.5°—were used in the experiment, which was carried out using an aluminum 7075 tool that was shaped like a grooved conical pin. A modified milling machine was used for welding, and ASTM D638 for tensile and ASTM D790 for bending mechanical tests were conducted. The findings show that the tilt angle has a major impact on the quality of the weld. With a tensile strength of 13 MPa (68.4% of raw HDPE), a bending strength of 16.5 MPa (70.5%), and a dense stir zone with few voids, the best weld was produced at a 1.5° angle. On the other hand, the weakest joint with obvious structural flaws was produced by the 0° angle. Overall, it is determined that the best tilt angle for improving the mechanical and aesthetic performance of FSW joints in HDPE is 1.5°
Perlindungan Konsumen Terhadap Pembelian Produk Impor Melalui Tik Tok Shop
Get PDFIn an era of increasingly sophisticated technology, aspects of buying and selling have also experienced significant developments along with the progress of the times, namely through online shopping activities on e-commerce platforms, especially for imported products. E-commerce is a buying and selling activity that is carried out boldly (online) by utilizing digital technology. However, on the scale of online buying and selling, the problems that arise tend to be more complex. This is because consumers cannot see the goods directly, but can only assess the product through the description provided by the seller. Therefore, it is important to understand how consumer protection is regulated in e-commerce in Indonesia and the form of legal protection for consumers on platforms such as TikTok Shop. This study uses a normative legal research method. The regulation of consumer protection in e-commerce is regulated in Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE). Settlement of peace that arises in an effort to protect consumers can be done through litigation or non-litigation. If the settlement cannot be resolved peacefully, consumers have the right to file a lawsuit in court
