One of the agriculture-based tourism is Sentulfresh Agrotourism. The manager of Sentulfresh Agrotourism has social media for promotion to maximize the power of mouth through visitor comments and attract more visitors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between e-WOM (the power of electronic word of mouth) and tourists' visiting decisions at Sentulfresh Agrotourism. Survey and interview methods were used for data collection and the data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation and Chi-Square tests. The results of this study indicate that the majority of adult visitors are 29-37 years old and come from the Jadetabek area. Electronic word of mouth helps visitors in deciding their visit. In addition, tourist characteristics are not significantly related to tourist visiting decisions. Meanwhile, there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of electronic word of mouth and visiting decisions.

Judul: Sintesis Biphasic Calcium Phosphate-High Density Polyethylene Scaffold
Abstrak: Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) - High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) scaffold has been synthesized by using raw material from the shells of green mussels as a source of calcium to synthesize BCP. The shells are calcined at a temperature of 1000 °C for 5 hours to form a single phase of CaO. Ca(OH)2 is formed through the binding of H2O by CaO. CaO and Ca(OH)2 is reacted with P2O5 through milling process at a speed of 600 rpm for 6 hours and sintering process at a temperature of 900 °C for 3 h. The BCP resulted from these processes is a composition of 47,80% hydroxyapatite (HAp), 44,60% β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and 7,600% impurity of Ca(OH)2. This composition value is obtained by manual calculated using the direct comparison method based on XRD data. The lattice parameter of HAp is a = 9,436 Å and c = 6,906 Å, and lattice parameter of β-TCP is a = 10,44 Å and c = 37,45 Å. BCP has 1,244 to 2,723 of Ca/P ratio. BCP crystal grains become more homogeneous after sonication process. Milling process is performed on a rotary speed of 1325 rpm for 20 minutes result in a homogeneous BCP in the HDPE matrix. The increasing of sonication time and used BCP will increase scaffold hardness value.
