Abstrak: Media virtual atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai internet kini telah menjadi media komunikasi yang populer di Indonesia. Menurut data tahun 2009, Indonesia menempati peringkat kelima di Asia dengan jumlah pengguna (user) sebanyak 25 juta orang. Sebagian besar diantaranya merupakan penggerak jejaring sosial seperti Facebook, Friendster, Twitter, dan lain-lain. User di Indonesia umumnya berasal dari generasi muda terdidik (well-educated). Di tahun 2009, untuk jejaring sosial Facebook, user di Indonesia termasuk user Facebook terbesar keempat di dunia dengan pengguna aktif sejumlah 5.949.740 orang dan diperkirakan akan terus bertambah. Akibatnya, beberapa perusahaan barang dan jasa di Indonesia akhir-akhir ini mulai melirik dan menggunakan salah satu layanan virtual di Facebook yaitu Fan Page (Laman Penggemar di Facebook atau LPF) untuk mempromosikan produk dan brand mereka kepada publik eksternalnya dikarenakan potensi besar jumlah massa atau publik yang akan dihadapi.

Judul: The Influence of Social Media Marketing towards brand awareness of Farmee Hydroponics Indonesia Company
Abstrak: Perkembangan teknologi internet yang pesat menyebabkan terciptanya persaingan bisnis sehingga perusahaan perlu menciptakan strategi pemasaran yang kuat, salah satunya adalah social media marketing. Farmee Indonesia sebagai perusahaan berbasis startup digital di sektor pertanian hidroponik memanfaatkan social media marketing berbasis Instagram untuk menjangkau konsumen. Namun, brand awareness masyarakat terhadap Farmee Indonesia masih tergolong rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik followers akun Instagram Farmee Indonesia, menganalisis pengaruh dan dimensi yang paling berpengaruh pada social media marketing melalui Instagram Farmee Indonesia terhadap brand awareness perusahaan Farmee Indonesia, Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara penyebaran kuesioner kepada 140 followers Instagram Farmee Indonesia. Analisis data pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan Structural Equation Model berbasis Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa social media marketing berpengaruh terhadap brand awareness Farmee Indonesia. Pada penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa dimensi social media marketing yang terdiri dari context, communication, collaboration, dan connection mampu menjelaskan brand awareness sebesar 36,4% dan 63,6 % lainnya dijelaskan oleh dimensi lain diluar model. Pada penelitian ini juga dapat diketahui bahwa variabel context dan connection merupakan dimensi Social Media Marketing yang berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap brand awareness perusahaan Farmee Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, Farmee Indonesia sebaiknya lebih berfokus dalam memaksimalkan peran kedua dimensi tersebut dalam meningkatkan brand awareness., The improvement of internet technology has led to the creation of business competition so that companies need to create strong marketing strategies, one of which is social media marketing. Farmee Indonesia as a digital startup-based company in the hydroponic agriculture sector utilizes Instagram-based social media marketing to reach consumers. However, public brand awareness of Farmee Indonesia is still relatively low. This study aims to identify the characteristics of Farmee Indonesia's Instagram followers, analyze the influence and the most influential dimensions on social media marketing through Farmee Indonesia's Instagram on the brand awareness of the Farmee Indonesia company. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 140 Instagram Farmee Indonesia followers. Data analysis in this study was carried out using descriptive analysis methods and Structural Equation Model based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of this study indicate that social media marketing has an effect on Farmee Indonesia's brand awareness. In this study, it can be seen that the dimensions of social media marketing which consist of context, communication, collaboration, and connection are able to explain brand awareness by 36,4% and the other 63,6% are explained by other dimensions outside the model. In this study, it can also be seen that the context and connection variables are dimensions of Social Media Marketing that significantly influence the brand awareness of Farmee Indonesia. Therefore, Farmee Indonesia should focus more on maximizing the role of these two dimensions in increasing brand awareness.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
