Judul: Training Needs Analysis of Limousin Cattle Farmers in Astomulyo Village, Central Lampung Regency
Abstrak: Permasalahan sumber daya manusia pada subsektor peternakan berimplikasi negatif pada kompetitifnya peternakan lokal dan solusi untuk memperbaiki kualitas SDM dengan diadakannya pelatihan oleh Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebutuhan pelatihan pada 43 peternak dipilih secara sensus berlokasi di Kelompok Ternak Limousin, Desa Astomulyo, Kabupaten Lampung Tengah. Penelitian telah dilakukan selama periode pertama yaitu pada tanggal 23 September 2022 sampai 15 Oktober 2022 dan periode kedua pada 1-31 Juli 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode ranked discrepancy models (RDM) dan importance performance analysis (IPA). Dalam analisis RDM, lima kompetensi yang perlu ditingkatkan adalah pencatatan keuangan, manajemen pemeliharaan, pengendalian penyakit, seleksi bakalan, dan branding kelompok. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik peternak tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap prioritas pelatihan. Untuk analisis IPA, ada tujuh kompetensi menduduki kuadran utama yaitu kemitraan, branding kelompok, manajemen pemeliharaan, seleksi bakalan, pembuatan konsentrat, pencatatan ternak, dan pencatatan keuangan. Temuan ini memberikan pemahaman yang penting tentang kompetensi yang harus ditingkatkan dan pengembangan program pelatihan oleh SPR yang lebih efektif dan efisien pada pengembangan SDM sehingga berdampak pada peningkatan kinerja dan daya saing peternak lokal., The problem of human resources in livestock subsector had negative impact on competitiveness of local farmer, and the solution to enhance HR quality through providing training by People’s Animal Husbandry School (SPR). This research aimed to analyze the training needs of 43 farmers selected by census in Limousin Livestock, Astomulyo, Central Lampung Regency. The research was conducted for the first period in Septermber 23rd 2023 until October 15th 2023 and the second period in July 1st-31st 2023. The research used ranked discrepancy models (RDM) and importance performance analysis (IPA). In RDM analysis, the top five competencies that needed improvement in financial record, breeding management, disease control, breeding selection, and group branding. The statistical test results indicated that the farmer’s characteristics did not significantly influence training needs. For the IPA analysis, seven competencies occupied in first quadrant for concentration in partnership, group branding, maintenance management, breeding selection, concentrate production, livestock record, and financial record. These findings provided valuable insight into the competencies that needed to improve and to develop of training programs by SPR that effectively developed human resources, ultimately impacting the improvement of performance and competitiveness among local farmers.

Judul: Analisis Kebutuhan Pelatihan Asisten Tanaman Perkebunan (Studi Kasus PT Perkebunan Nusantara VII Lampung).
Abstrak: Pelatihan sangat diperlukan dalam sebuah perusahaan untuk menjembatani kesenjangan antara kepentingan kompetensi dan kompetensi aktual karyawan. Sebelum melaksanakan pelatihan, penting untuk dilakukan analisis kebutuhan pelatihan agar pelatihan dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif dan efisien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan memetakan kebutuhan pelatihan karyawan asisten tanaman di PTPN VII Lampung. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif, dengan menggunakan model analisis kebutuhan pelatihan Borich model, Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), dan uji analisis Kruskal Wallis. Responden di dalam penelitian ini adalah asisten tanaman PTPN VII Lampung yang berjumlah 90 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi kuesioner dan wawancara mendalam dengan karyawan asisten tanaman dan atasannya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, prioritas kebutuhan pelatihan karyawan asisten tanaman di PTPN VII Lampung adalah pelatihan kompetensi relationship building, yang memiliki nilai mean weight discrepancies score (MWDS) tertinggi sebesar 6,36. Hasil pemetaan IPA pada kuadran 1 menunjukkan kompetensi yang menjadi prioritas utama untuk segera diperbaiki yaitu risk of production, information seeking, achievement orientation, decision making dan relationship building. Sedangkan hasil uji Kruskal Wallis menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap prioritas kebutuhan pelatihan asisten tanaman ditinjau dari kelompok karakteristik responden (pendidikan terakhir, umur, masa kerja jabatan dan masa kerja total). Implikasi manajerial penelitian ini yaitu dengan melakukan intervensi non-pelatihan diantaranya dengan meningkatkan jadwal agenda pertemuan atau koordinasi rutin pekanan/bulanan. Di samping itu, perlu ditingkatkan sarana dan prasarana teknologi telekomunikasi dan akses jaringan internet pada masing-masing afdeling yang tersebar di berbagai lokasi unit kebun. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kompetensi yang merupakan gap level teratas dan prioritas perlu ditingkatkan untuk asisten tanaman saat ini berdasarkan kamus kompetensi perusahaan yaitu relationship building. Kata kunci : analisis kebutuhan, importance performance analysis, model Borich, pelatihan, relationship building., Training is indispensable in a company in order to bridge the gap between importance competency and employees' actual competences. Before carrying out training, it is important to conduct a training needs analysis so that training can be carried out effectively and efficiently. This study aims for training needs analysis of plant assistants at PTPN VII Lampung. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative using training needs assessment Borich models, importance performance analysis (IPA) and Kruskal Wallis test. The informants in this study were plant assistants of PTPN VII Lampung, which are 90 persons. The data collection techniques included questionnaires and in-depth interview with plant assistant employees and their supervisors. Based on the results, the priority needs of training for plant assistant employees at PTPN VII Lampung is training for relationship building competency, which has the highest mean weight discrepancies scores (MWDS) value of 6,36. The results of IPA mapping show in quadrant 1, competencies are the top priority for immediate improvement. The company should provide training programs for plant assistants, which focuses on the risk of production, information seeking, achievement orientation, decision making and relationship building. The results of the Kruskal Wallis test showed that there was no significant difference in the priority of plant assistant training needs in terms of the respondent's characteristic group (last education, age, tenure, and total tenure). Managerial research implies that by doing non-training intervention such as by increasing

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
