Judul: Analysis of the Effect of Information and Communication Technology on Economic Growth and Poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan penduduk sebagai faktor pendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi memiliki dampak negatif, yaitu meningkatkan kemiskinan. Oleh karena itu, perlu stimulus lain untuk mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi dan menurunkan kemiskinan melalui kemajuan teknologi. Di era globalisasi TIK memiliki peran membangun konektivitas antar daerah yang akan memudahkan untuk berinteraksi baik intra maupun antar daerah yang akan menguntungkan baik dari sisi ekonomi maupun sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh TIK terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kemiskinan di Indonesia. Analisis data menggunakan metode regresi data panel dengan Fixed Effect Model (FEM), yaitu 34 provinsi dengan periode tahun 2015-2019. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akses-infrastruktur, penggunaan, keahlian, penanaman modal dalam negeri, jalan, listrik berpengaruh positif dan signifikan, kemiskinan berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Selain itu, akses-infrastruktur, penggunaan, angka harapan hidup, rata-rata lama sekolah berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan, keahlian dan gini berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kemiskinan. Kata kunci: Kemiskinan, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, TIK, Population growth as a factor driving economic growth has a negative impact, namely increasing poverty. Therefore, another stimulus is needed to encourage economic growth and reduce poverty through technological advances. In the era of globalization, ICT has a role in building connectivity between regions that will make it easier to interact both intra and between regions which will benefit both from an economic and social perspective. This study aims to analyze the influence of ICT on economic growth and poverty in Indonesia. The data analysis used the panel data regression method with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), namely 34 provinces with the 2015-2019 period. The results showed that access to infrastructure, use, skill, domestic investment, roads, electricity had a positive and significant effect, poverty had a negative and significant effect on economic growth. In addition, access to infrastructure, use, life expectancy, the average length of schooling have a negative and significant effect, skill and gini have a positive and significant effect on poverty.

Judul: Analysis of the Influence of Information and Communication Technology Development Index on Economic Growth and Provincial Unemployment in Indonesia
Abstrak: Perkembangan TIK dapat menjadi salah satu faktor dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi dan mengurangi tingkat pengangguran. Perkembangan TIK Indonesia masih menempati urutan ke-6 dari 9 negara ASEAN lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi TIK, serta menganalisis pengaruhnya terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pengangguran di Indonesia dengan metode analisis regresi data panel. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Papua adalah provinsi dengan subindeks akses-infrastukrur, subindeks penggunaan, dan subindeks keahlian yang rendah. Sedangkan, DKI Jakarta dan DI Yogyakarta adalah provinsi dengan subindeks akses-infrastruktur, subindeks penggunaan dan subindeks keahlian yang tinggi. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berpengaruh signifikan meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah subindeks akses-infrastruktur, subindeks penggunan, penanaman modal dalam negeri dan penanaman modal asing. Sementara yang berpengaruh signifikan menurunkan tingkat pengangguran adalah subindeks akses-infrastruktur, subindeks keahlian, partisipasi angkatan kerja, dan upah minimum., The development of ICT can be a factor in supporting economic growth and reducing the unemployment rate. Indonesia's ICT development still ranks 6th out of 9 other ASEAN countries. This research aims to determine the condition of ICT, as well as analyze its influence on economic growth and unemployment in Indonesia using panel data regression analysis methods. The results show that Papua is a province with a low infrastructure-access sub-index, usage sub-index and skills sub-index. Meanwhile, DKI Jakarta and DI Yogyakarta are provinces with high infrastructure-access sub-indexes, usage sub-indexes and skills sub-indexes. The results of the regression analysis show that the factors that have a significant effect on increasing economic growth are the infrastructure-access sub-index, usage subindex, domestic investment and foreign investment. Meanwhile, those that have a significant effect on reducing the unemployment rate are the infrastructure-access subindex, skills subindex, labor force participation and minimum wage.

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
