Judul: Analysis the Effect of Financial Inclusion on Economic Growth in Asia
Abstrak: Inklusi keuangan telah dijadikan sebagai salah satu 9 pilar utama dalam agenda pembangunan global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh inklusi keuangan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Asia pada tahun 2009-2018. Inklusi keuangan dihitung menggunakan Index of Financial Inclusion (IFI), sedangkan pengaruh inklusi keuangan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dianalisis melalui metode data panel statis Fixed Effect Model. Analisis IFI menunjukkan bahwa negara berpendapatan tinggi dikategorikan High Financial Inclusion, menengah atas dikategorikan Middle Financial Inclusion dan menengah bawah sebagai Low Financial Inclusion. Hasil panel statis menunjukkan inklusi keuangan dan layanan seluler berpengaruh positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi, baik seluruh Asia maupun berdasarkan tingkatan pendapatan negaranya. Keterbukaan perdagangan berpengaruh negatif pada tingkatan pendapatan menengah kebawah. FDI hanya berpengaruh negatif pada keseluruhan Asia. Pembentukan modal berpengaruh positif pada seluruh tingkatan pendapatan, kecuali pendapatan tinggi. Populasi pada negara pendapatan tinggi berpengaruh positif, sedangkan menengah atas signifikan berpengaruh negatif. Kualitas institusi memiliki pengaruh yang positif di indikator yang berbeda-beda pada tingkat pendapatannya. Negara berpendapaatan rendah perlu meningkatkan aspek penetrasi melalui sosialisasi secara insentif, penyediaan layanan jasa keuangan yang mudah dijangkau, dan pemanfaatan inovasi layanan keuangan seperti mobile banking., Financial inclusion has become one of the 9 main pillars in the global development agenda. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial inclusion on economic growth Asia in 2009-2018.

Judul: Design of gathering-conveying unit of mobile sugar cane trash chopping machine
Abstrak: A machine for gathering and chopping the piles of sugarcane trash on the field after harvesting is being designed. As a part of the machine, a gathering-conveying unit was designed. Important data including condition and characteristics of trash were collected and used for designing the unit. The average bulk density of trash on the field was 7.7 kg/m3, the average pressure to compress the trash from 40 cm to 30 cm thickness was 50.65 N/m2, and the pressure to compress the trash from 27 cm to 8 cm thickness was 1166.60 N/m2. The unit was designed to be operated at 0.3 m/s forward speed, and having 60 cm working width. The unit was consisted of: a gathering reel, a pair of conveyors, cover-frame and power transmission components. Size and operational speed of moving components were determined by analyzing mass flow rate of the trash, and operating power of the components. The gathering reel was 100 cm in diameter and having 4 series of gathering fingers for drawing and feeding the trash into the conveyors. A pair of chain-conveyors equipped with L-shaped steel bars was set face to face on lower side and upper side for conveying and feeding the leaves to the chopping unit. The stationary test showed that the gathering reel and the conveyors could work properly. The average rotational speed of the conveyor shaft and the gathering reel were 34.03 rpm and 9.97 rpm, respectively. The working capacity of the unit was 400-500 kg/hour.
