Judul: The Impact of the Use of ICT on Economic Growth in Indonesia
Abstrak: Pembangunan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) semakin pesat dan pemerintah akan memanfaatkannya sebagai sumber pertumbuhan ekonomi utama di masa depan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur dampak pembangunan TIK terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia secara keseluruhan dan membandingkannya antara Indonesia bagian barat dan Indonesia bagian timur. Variabel independen utama yang digunakan, yaitu subindeks akses-infrastruktur TIK, subindeks penggunaan TIK, serta subindeks keahlian TIK. PDRB digunakan sebagai variabel dependen. Data terdiri dari 33 provinsi sepanjang tahun 2012 – 2021. REM menjadi pilihan terbaik untuk ketiga model. Berdasarakan hasil model pertama sisi akses-infrastruktur dan penggunaan TIK berdampak positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Sementara itu, hasil model kedua dan ketiga menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia bagian timur merasakan dampak lebih besar untuk sisi akses-infrastruktur. Sedangkan, pada sisi penggunaan hanya Indonesia bagian barat saja yang berdampak positif., The developing of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is growing rapidly in Indonesia. Government will make it as a main source engine for economic growth in the future. The objectives of this reaserch are to analyse the impact of ICT on economic growth in general and regarding two regions of Indonesia, east and west. The main independent variables are sub-index of ICT access-infrastructure, sub-index of ICT use, and sub-index of ICT ability. On the other hand, RGDP is the dependent variable. The data consists of time series range from 2012 until 2021 and 33 provinces as cross sections. Random effects are the best choice for all models. The result of the first model shows that the ICT access-infrastructure and the ICT use give positive impact on economic growth. For the second and the third models show that the ICT access-infrastructure gives bigger impact in eastern Indonesia than western Indonesia. However, western Indonesia experiences positive impact of ICT use while eastern Indonesia does not.

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: Sintesis Flavonol melalui 2’-Hidroksikalkon
Abstrak: Flavonol is a class of flavonoids commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Flavonol is very useful, especially in food sector and health. In this study, flavonol unsubstituted was successfully synthesized from an intermediate material 2’-hydroxychalcone. The 2’-hydroxychalcone was synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation method between o-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde using 4 different catalysts, namely KOH 60%, solid pellet of KOH-grinding technique, BF3-Et2O, and NaH in DMF. The KOH 60% was the best catalyst, giving the highest yield (57%). Afterward, the flavonol was synthesized in 1-stage oxidation cyclization of o-hydroxyacetophenone using Algar-Flynn-Oyamada (AFO) reaction, giving 76%. The flavonol total yield from 2’-hydroxychalcone was 43%. All synthesized products were characterized by their melting points and their spectra. The success of the synthesis flavonol opens the way to synthesis of useful flavonol derivatives such as quercetin and kaempferol
