Judul: Analysis of The Influence of The Development of Digital  Technology and Other Determinants of Indonesia’s Economic Growth
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan ekonomi merupakan salah satu indeks keberhasilan dalam proses pembangunan ekonomi. Saat ini, dunia tengah dihadapi dengan revolusi industri 4.0 (digitalisasi) yang memasuki berbagai sektor, termasuk sektor ekonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan teknologi digital di Indonesia serta menganalisis pengaruh perkembangan teknologi digital dan determinan lainnya terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan merupakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis data panel dengan periode 2018-2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan teknologi dengan proksi melalui penduduk yang memiliki/menguasai telepon seluler dan infrastruktur base transceiver station memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Determinan lainnya dengan proksi melalui investasi, infrastruktur panjang jalan, indeks pendidikan, dan tingkat partisipasi angkatan kerja memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Sedangkan tingkat pengangguran terbuka memberikan pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia., Economic growth is an index of success in the process of economic development. Currently, the world is facing the industrial revolution 4.0 (digitalization) which has entered various sectors, including the economic sector. This study aims to analyze the development of economic growth and digital technology in Indonesia and to analyze the influence of digital technology development and other determinants on Indonesia's economic growth. The method used is descriptive analysis and panel data analysis for the 2018-2021 period. The results of the study show that technological developments by proxy through residents who own/control cell phones and base transceiver station infrastructure have a positive and significant impact on Indonesia's economic growth. Other determinants with proxies through investment, infrastructure road length, education index, and labor force participation rate have a positive and significant impact on Indonesia's economic growth. Meanwhile, the open unemployment rate has a negative and significant impact on Indonesia's economic growth.

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: Karakteristik Carboxymethyl Chitosan Dengan Variasi Konsentrasi NaOH
Abstrak: Carboxymethyl chitosan is chitosan derivative product obtained from chemical modification. CMCh were made by alkalization process and carboxymethylation process. Factors that affect CMCh characteristics were excess sodium hydroxide in alkalization process, ratio between chitosan and monochloroacetic acid, and carboxymethylation temperature. The objectives of this research were to study the NaOH effect to CMCh characteristics, to learn process of making CMCh, to set the proper concentration of NaOH, and to analyze CMCh characteristics. CMCh yields were 110.72%-114.22%. CMCh pH value were 3.74-4.31. The optimum NaOH concentration to obtain the best CHCh was 10 M. Percentage of CMCh moisture content was 10.70%-11.42%. Ash content and nitrogen content of CMCh were 0.49%-0.50% and 4.52%-4.81%. CMCh viscousity was 8.25 cps. Percentage of CMCh solubility was 61.61%-91.50%. The different functional groups from chitosan which observed in CMCh were C=O group, CH group from alkene functional group, C−O group, and C−O−C group.
