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: Regional Fiscal and Human Development Quality in North Kalimantan Province
Abstrak: Tahun 1990, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) mengeluarkan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) sebagai salah satu indikator pengukuran keberhasilan pembangunan manusia. Provinsi Kalimantan Utara termasuk kedalam 3 provinsi dengan Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) perkapita tertinggi di tingkat nasional, namun IPM Provinsi Kalimantan Utara berada di bawah tingkat nasional sejak 7 tahun terakhir. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya, belanja pemerintah dapat menggambarkan IPM lebih dari 80 persen dan penelitian lainnya menunjukkan bahwa belanja pemerintah yang relatif besar tidak akan berdampak terhadap pembangunan jika belanja pemerintah tidak dialokasikan kepada infrastruktur. Belanja Provinsi Kalimantan Utara berada diatas rata-rata nasional. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisi disparitas infrastruktur antar wilayah dan menganalisis dampak belanja pemerintah daerah menurut fungsinya (kesehatan, pendidikan dan ekonomi) terhadap IPM. Hasil analisis skalogram menunjukan bahwa terdapat disparitas infrastruktur antar kebupaten di Provinsi Kalimanta Utara dimana Kabupaten Tanah Tidung dan Nunukan merupakan kabupaten dengan ketersediaan infrastruktur yang relatif rendah dan sebaliknya dengan tiga kabupaten lainnya. Secara deskriptif menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan antara infrastruktur dengan IPM. Berdasarkan model ekonometrik data panel, data cross section lima kabupaten/kota dan time series tahun 2013-2019, khususnya Random Effect Model menunjukkan bahwa anggaran kesehatan berhubungan positif dengan IPM, namun tidak signifikan; sedangkan anggaran fungsi ekonomi berdampak signifikan terhadap IPM, namun dengan arah yang tidak sesuai dengan hipotesis. Sementara masing-masing indeks (kesehatan, pendidikan dan ekonomi) tidak dipengaruhi oleh anggarannya kecuali kesehatan; peningkatan PDRB secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan masing-masing indeks dan penurunan tingkat kemiskinan secara signifikan dapat meningkatkan indeks kesehatan., In 1990, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) issued the Human Development Index (HDI) as an indicator for measuring the success of human development. North Kalimantan Province is included in the 3 provinces with the highest per capita Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) at the national level, however the HDI of North Kalimantan Province has been below the national level for the last 7 years. Based on previous research, government spending can describe HDI more than 80 percent and other studies show that relatively large government spending will not have an impact on development if government spending is not allocated to infrastructure. North Kalimantan Province spending is above the national average. Therefore, this study aims to analyze disparities in infrastructure between regions and to analyze the impact of local government spending by function (health, education and economy) on HDI. The results of the schalogram analysis show that there are disparities in infrastructure between districts in North Kalimantan Province where Tanah Tidung and Nunukan are districts with relatively low infrastructure availability and vice versa with the other three districts. Descriptively shows that there is a relationship between infrastructure and HDI. Based on the panel data econometric model, cross section data for five districts / cities and time series for 2013-2019, particularly the Random Effect Model, it shows that the health budget is positively related to HDI, but not significant; while the economic function budget has a significant impact on HDI, but in a direction that is not in accordance with the hypothesis. Meanwhile each index (health, education and economy) is not influenced by its budget, except for health; a significant increase in

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.
