Implementation of Research Statistics Booklets Assisted Zoom Applications on Student Learning Outcomes
Get PDFPurpose: The purpose of this research is to find out the implementation of the zoom application assisted by research statistics booklets on student learning outcomes
Design/methodology/approach: The research method used in this study is an experimental method with a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques are done through observation and tests. Data analysis was performed with the Paired Samples Test using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 tool.
Findings: It can be seen from the study results that there is an increase in the value of the average score, i.e., 20.8, from the pretest results of 58.0 (enough criteria) to 78.75 (excellent standards) on the post-test results. The hypothesis test results indicate a significant effect of the zoom application assisted by the research statistics booklet in improving student learning outcomes in the research statistics course.
Practical implications: The learning process, especially e-learning, is in dire need of suitable media/tools to support learning, especially practical or computational subjects that require face-to-face explanations even through cyberspace so that learning objectives are achieved, and these media/devices must be supported by internet connectivity with sufficient access.

Study of Integrated Systems Pumps in Coast of DKI Jakarta
Get PDFPurpose: The development of DKI Jakarta is causing prone to flood threats so that required proper water management systems to reduce puddles or floods that occurred in some areas. Current water managament system is the Polder of Pluit water mangament system, and Pasar Ikan Pump system. Jakarta will plan an integrated pump system to reduce the workload of the Pluit Polder Pump System and Pasar Ikan Pump when the system is down for maintenance, the pump will be planned to include (1) Karang Pump System, (2) Haila-Marina Pump System, and (3) Sunter-Sentiong Pump System.
Design: This study was conducted through three stages, collecting data, data processing, and a review of the results of the analysis. Within hydrology analysis, calculations of rainfall distribution were conducted by Normal Distribution method, Log-Normal, Gumbel, and Log Pearson III and tested using the Smirnov Kolmogorov Method. The calculation of the discharge plan using HSS Nakayasu. Hydraulic analysis with 25 years reset period of discharge plan performed using HEC-RAS software. Study of the integration of the four pump system on the north shore as a basis for drafting an alternative effort to control the puddle and flood in areas of its services and also to evaluate the discharge pump needed to improve the optimization and the pattern of the pump on the north shore system.
Findings: The scenario of the operation of the four integrated pump systems provide better results than standalone scenarios, especially for the Karang Pump, Karang Ikan Pump, and Sentiong Pump with water elevation reduction of -1.67 m,-0,29 m, and 0.66 m. In contrast to Pluit Pump and Hailai-Marina Pump happen an increase in water elevation of 0.29 m and m 0.38. Worst impacts on system integration in the event of the failure of operation Pump Pluit, Hailai-Marina, and Sentiong were simultaneously or 2 pumps of the pump 3 failed to operate, so the necessary floodgates on every connecting channel between the systems. The presence of pump system Hailai-Marina and Sentiong was becoming very important, if the system pump is dead then impacted the increase of volume of the Pluit Pump of 215,0%, and 183.1% of the Pasar Ikan Pump which means Pluit Pump and Pasar Ikan Pump will work two times more weight of standalone scenarios, while the Coral Pumps operate normally without an increase in the volume of the pump i.e. 98.7%
