Judul: The Effect of Financial Literacy and Hedonic Lifestyle Towards Investment Decision Across Millennials and Z Generation
Abstrak: Investor milenial dan Z mengalami peningkatan minat dalam berinvestasi pada produk pasar modal. Terdapat beberapa faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan investasi seperti jenis kelamin, status perkawinan, tingkat literasi keuangan, dan gaya hidup hedonis. Terdapat perbedaan gaya hidup hedonis dan keputusan investasi pada kedua generasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh literasi keuangan dan gaya hidup terhadap keputusan investasi generasi milenial dan Z. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik penarikan contoh voluntary sampling dengan total 193 responden generasi milenial dan Z di Indonesia. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pada generasi milenial dan Z, pengetahuan keuangannya terkategori tinggi, sikap keuangannya terkategori sedang, perilaku keuangan generasi milenial terkategori tinggi, dan pada generasi Z terkategori sedang. Gaya hidup hedonis kedua generasi terkategori rendah dan keputusan investasinya terkategori tinggi. Jenis kelamin dan gaya hidup hedonis berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap keputusan investasi. Perilaku keuangan berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap keputusan investasi., Nowadays, millennial and Z investors are more likely to buy financial products of capital market. There are some factors that influence investment decisions such as gender, marital status, level of financial literacy, and hedonic lifestyle. There are differences in the lifestyles between the two generations. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial literacy and lifestyle towards investment decisions across millennial and Z generations. This research used a voluntary sampling technique with total of 193 respondents in Indonesia. Based on the results of this study, financial knowledge of both generation is in the high category, while financial attitude is in the moderate category. Furthemore, behavior of the millennial generation is in the high category, Z generation is in the moderate category. The hedonic lifestyle of both generations are in the low category and their investment decisions are in the high category. Gender and hedonic lifestyle have a significant negative effect on investment decisions, while financial behavior have a significant positive effect on investment decisions.

Judul: The Effect of Financial Literacy and Electronic  Word of Mouth Towards Purchasing Decision Cosmetic Product Across Milenial  and Z Generation
Abstrak: Kemudahan informasi terkait suatu produk kosmetik melalui electronic word of mouth dan literasi keuangan yang dimiliki generasi milenial dan Z dapat memicu terjadinya keputusan pembelian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh literasi keuangan dan electronic word of mouth terhadap keputusan pembelian pada generasi milenial dan Z. Penelitian menggunakan desain explanatory research study dan teknik penarikan contoh voluntary sampling dengan total 122 responden generasi milenial dan Z di Indonesia. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian generasi milenial dan Z kategori pengetahuan keuangan dan sikap keuangannya berada pada kategori rendah, dan perilaku keuangan generasi milenial berada pada kategori tinggi dan generasi Z termasuk kategori sedang. Variabel electronic word of mouth termasuk kategori rendah dan keputusan pembelian generasi Z termasuk kategori sedang hingga tinggi dan generasi milenial termasuk kategori sedang. Uji regresi menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan terakhir, literasi keuangan berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap keputusan pembelian, sedangkan electronic word of mouth berpengaruh signifikan positif terhadap keputusan pembelian.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
