Judul: Efisiensi Kantor Cabang di BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Tahun 2018-2020
Abstrak: BPJS Ketenagakerjaan menghadapi tantangan untuk memperluas cakupan kepesertaan dan menjamin keuangan yang berkelanjutan. Jumlah peserta relatif rendah, dan hal ini juga diperparah dengan Covid-19 karena meningkatkan jumlah pengangguran dan pembayaran klaim. Dengan memaksimalkan sumber daya, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan masih memiliki potensi yang besar untuk mendorong produktivitas dan meningkatkan efisiensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa efisiensi dari kantor cabang BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) digunakan untuk mengestimasi efisiensi pada 26 kantor cabang pada periode 2018-2020. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata kantor cabang efisien. Selanjutnya, regresi model Tobit digunakan untuk menginvestigasi faktor yang mempengaruhi efisiensi. Penemuan baru menunjukkan hasil yang positif signifikan pada pergantian kepala kantor cabang, lokasi operasional, dan proporsi penduduk yang bekerja namun, Covid-19 memiliki hasil yang negatif signifikan terhadap efisiensi. Sementara itu, tipe kantor cabang dan pertumbuhan Bruto Regional Domestik Bruto (PDRB) menunjukkan hasil yang tidak signifikan. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini yaitu BPJS Ketenagakerjaan dapat meningkatkan efisiensi dengan memotivasi kepala cabang dengan melakukan rotasi, meningkatkan kinerja kantor cabang di Pulau Jawa dan memperkuat kerjasama dengan pemerintah dan penegak hukum, ocial security agency for employment in Indonesia that called BPJS Ketenagakerjaan faces challenges in extending membership coverage and ensuring sustainable financing. The number of participants is relatively low and Covid-19 also exacerbates by increasing unemployment and claim payment. By maximizing the resources, this institution still has a huge potential to advance productivity and elevate levels of efficiency. This paper is aimed to analyze the efficiency of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s branch offices. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to estimate the efficiency score among 26 branch offices over the period of 2018-2020. Results show that on average, the branch offices were efficient. Furthermore, the Tobit Regression Model is used to investigate the determinants of efficiency. New findings indicate that significant positive effects among switching of branch managers, operational location, and proportion of working population, yet, Covid-19 has a significant negative effect on efficiency. Meanwhile, the type of branch offices and the growth of Gross Domestic Regional Bruto (GDRP) show insignificant results. This study suggests that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan could be efficient by motivating the branch manager, enhancing the performance of branch office in Java Island and the collaborating with government and law enforcement.

Judul: Analisis Performa Keuangan yang Mempengaruhi Kepatuhan Perusahaan di Dalam Kepesertaan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan
Abstrak: Tantangan terbesar BPJS Ketenagakerjaan di saat ini adalah masalah kepatuhan dari kepesertaan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. Kepatuhan yang dimaksud adalah rendahnya peserta BPJS Ketenagakerjaan yang tercover perlindungan jaminan sosial ketenagakerjaan. Masalah penunggakan iuran perusahaan peserta BPJS Ketenagakerjaan juga sangat tinggi di tahun 2020 jika dibandingkan tahun 2019. Masalah kepatuhan ini menjadi penghambat BPJS Ketenagakerjaan dalam memberikan perlindungan terbaik buat seluruh pekerja di Indonesia. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, tujuan penelitian adalah (1) Mengkaji perkembangan kepesertaan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan di 2019-2020; (2) Mengkaji pengaruh performa keuangan perusahaan terhadap kepatuhan kepesertaan; (3) Menentukan strategi untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan. Ada tiga metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini untuk menjawab tujuan dari penelitian. Tujuan pertama menggunakan metode Descriptive, dimana hasilnya pertumbuhan kepesertaan dan iuran kepesertaan BPJS Ketenagakerjaan di masa Covid-19 mengalami penurunan. Tujuan kedua menggunakan regresi logistik dimana variabel performa keuangan seperti Return on Asset (ROA) dan Return on Equity (ROE), Covid-19, Interaksi Return on Asset (ROA) dengan Covid-19, Interaksi Return on Equity (ROE) dengan Covid-19 dan Interaksi Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) dengan Covid-19 berpengaruh terhadap kepatuhan. Pada tujuan ketiga yaitu metode Analisis Data Interaktif melalui Focus Group Discussion (FGD) didapatkan strategi di dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan dilakukan dengan meningkatkan sosialisasi dan edukasi ke perusahaan secara rutin., The biggest challenge of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan at this time is the compliance problem of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan membership. The compliance in question is the low number of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan membership covered by employment social security protection. Then, the problem of arrears in contributions from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participating companies is also very high in 2020 when compared to the previous year 2019. This compliance issue is an obstacle because it certainly prevents BPJS Ketenagakerjaan from providing the best protection for all workers in Indonesia. Based on this background, the research objectives are (1) To examine the development of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan membership in 2019-2020; (2) To examine the effect of the company's financial performance on membership compliance; (3) Determine strategies to improve compliance. There are three methods used in this study to answer the objectives of the research. The first goal is to use the Descriptive method, where the result is that membership growth and membership fees for BPJS Ketenagakerjaan during the Covid-19 period have decreased. The second objective uses logistic regression where financial performance variables such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), Covid-19, Interaction of Return on Assets (ROA) with Covid-19, Interaction of Return on Equity (ROE) with Covid-19 and the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) interaction with Covid-19 affects compliance. For the third objective, namely the Interactive Data Analysis method through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), the strategy for increasing compliance is obtained by increasing socialization and education to companies on a regular basis.

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.
