Judul: Effect of Regional Expenditures and Regional Financial Independence on Economic Growth in West Kalimantan Province
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan ekonomi merupakan peningkatan output dari waktu ke waktu dan menjadi salah satu indikator dalam mengukur keberhasilan pembangunan. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang tinggi mengindikasikan suatu daerah menuju kondisi yang lebih baik. Untuk mewujudkanya, diperlukan peran pemerintah dalam alokasi anggaran sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh belanja pemerintah daerah dan kemandirian keuangan daerah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Kalimantan Barat dari tahun 2015-2019. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi data panel dengan pendekatan Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Hasil analisis regresi data panel menunjukkan bahwa belanja modal, rasio PAD, belanja kesehatan, belanja pendidikan, dan tingkat pendidikan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Adapun belanja modal dan belanja pendidikan berpengaruh negatif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Kalimantan Barat., Economic growth is an increase in output from time to time and is one of the indicators in measuring the success of development. High economic growth of an area towards better conditions. To make it happen, the government's role in budget allocation is needed in accordance with the laws and regulations. This study aims to analyze the effect of local government spending and independence on regional finances on economic growth in districts/cities of West Kalimantan Province in 2015-2019. The analytical method used is panel data regression with Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The results of panel data regression analysis show that capital expenditure, PAD ratio, health expenditure, education expenditure, and education level have a significant effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, capital expenditures and education expenditures have a negative effect on economic growth in the districts/cities of West Kalimantan Province.

Judul: Pengaruh Belanja Pemerintah Daerah terhadap Pertumbuhan Ekonomi dan Kemiskinan Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Banten
Abstrak: Economic growth is one measure of economic development. The high economic growth and low poverty indicates that an area has good public prosperity. To get the high economic growth and low poverty required the maximum role of government, by government expenditure. The purpose of this study was to explain the development of government expenditure and analyzed the influence of government expenditure on economic growth and poverty in Banten Province. This research uses descriptive method and panel data on 8 districts/cities in Banten Province in the periode of 2009-2012. The result indicate that the government expenditure in Banten Province always increase. Based on the model in analysis, goods and service expenditure and capital expenditure have a positive effect and significant contributions to the regional economic growth and also have a negative effect and significant contributions to the poverty.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Cu2ZnSnS4 sebagai Lapisan Penyerap Cahaya pada Sel Surya Menggunakan Metode Elektrodeposisi
Abstrak: Thin film of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an alternative semiconductor used as light absorber layer on solar cell. CZTS can replace silicon that commonly used as commercial semiconductor. The advantage of using CZTS as absorber layer is due to the abundance of its chemical composer on earth, and its high value of absorption coefficient. The absorber layer was made by using electrodeposition method on ITO glass substrates. The films were deposited at room temperature using potentiostatic mode with a potential of –1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. After that, the films were annealed at two different temperatures, 180 ºC and 500 °C, for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the polycrystalline thin film obtained fall into kesterite crystal phase. This type of crystal was obtained when the CZTS was annealed at 500 °C in H2S/N2 atmosphere. The value of optical band gap energy for the CZTS thin film was 2.2 eV with the film thickness about 1.228–6.366 μm. The sample of CZTS with electrodeposition time of 45 minutes and annealing temperature of 500 °C showed the best result and in conformity with absorber layers criteria for solar cells.
