Study on the Influence of Investment on Economic Growth in Konawe Islands Regency

Muhammad Nur, Kusman Paluala — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to analyze the role of investment in economic growth in Konawe Islands Regency. Economic development is a continuous process to improve public welfare through the growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) of Konawe Islands Regency for the period 2017–2021 averaged only 32.85 percent, lower than household consumption expenditure of 53.09 percent. This research uses descriptive and quantitative approaches to describe the allocation of investment activities, the rate of economic growth, the influence of investment on economic growth, and the potential utilization of natural resources in regional development. The results of the research show that the allocation of investment activities in Konawe Islands Regency tends to increase with the economic progress of the region. The region's economic growth fluctuates from year to year with the contribution of different economic sectors. Investment has proven to have a positive and significant effect on economic growth, where government capital expenditure through GFCF directly encourages an increase in real GRDP. However, the potential of the region's natural resources has not been optimally utilized, so it is necessary to increase the allocation of more directed investment to accelerate economic growth and regional independence

The Examining The Influence Of Fiscal Decentralization Components On Capital Expenditure: Evidence From Kendari City

Nita Hasnita — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the effects of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), General Allocation Funds (DAU), and Special Allocation Funds (DAK) on capital expenditure (CE) in the Government of Kendari City. The research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Kendari City Budget Realization Reports for the first to fourth quarters of 2013–2020. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with EViews statistical software to assess both the simultaneous and partial effects of the independent variables on capital expenditure. The results reveal that, collectively, PAD, DAU, and DAK have no significant effect on capital expenditure. However, the partial analysis shows that DAU and DAK have significant positive effects, while PAD has no significant impact. These findings indicate that the capital expenditure of the Kendari City Government remains heavily dependent on intergovernmental transfer funds rather than locally generated revenues. This suggests the need to enhance local fiscal capacity through more effective revenue mobilization strategies to strengthen regional financial independence.

Modification Of CaO Catalyst From Crab Shells With AICI3 Catalyst For Biodiesel Production Using Waste Cooking Oil As A Raw Material

St Annisa Gani Rachim — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The background is that in the biodiesel production process, the use of CaO catalyst can react with CO₂and H₂O to form Ca(OH)₂ and CaCO₃ in the air, causing its catalytic activity to become less effective. Therefore, modification of the CaO catalyst is needed by using the method of impregnating the CaO catalyst with AlCl₃catalyst. Modifying the CaO catalyst with the AlCl₃ catalyst using the impregnation method is necessary. This process can prevent deactivation, increase catalytic activity and surface area, and prevent soap formation during biodiesel production. This study aims to determine the presence of alkyl ester groups, the effectiveness and yield percentage of biodiesel in the resulting product. The research method begins purifying waste cooking oil through netralization and bleaching, impregnating CaO with AlCl₃, and synthesizing biodiesel through transesterification using the waste cooking oil as the raw material. The reaction was performed at 70 °C with a 3% catalyst concentration by weight of the oil. The products were identified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed the presence of ester groups with a biodiesel conversion value of 85,15%. Conclusion that biodiesel produced using the impregnated catalyst method is effective because the obtained value is close to the ASTM D6751 standard

How Machine Translation Affects Students’ Ability in Writing English Texts

Andi Nuzul Hikmah Buana, Puji Rahmah, Ahmad Akbar — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study investigates the impact of machine translation (MT) on the English writing ability of fourth-semester Informatics Engineering students at Universitas Lamappapoleonro (UNIPOL). The study addresses the growing concern over students’ reliance on MT tools in academic writing and aims to determine whether these technologies support or hinder language development. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis through pre-tests and post-tests with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that MT can improve students’ grammatical accuracy, vocabulary range, and writing fluency by providing linguistic scaffolding and examples of correct language use. However, excessive dependence on MT may limit learners’ creativity and ability to apply grammatical rules independently. The results suggest that MT is most effective when used as a supplementary aid under proper instructional guidance. The study concludes that integrating MT into English learning for non-language majors can enhance both linguistic competence and digital literacy, provided that students are trained to use the technology critically and responsibly

The results show that Lean Engineering Implementation (LEI) significantly influences Technopreneurial Capability (TEC) (β = 0.62, p < 0.001) and SME Competitiveness (SMEC) (β = 0.47, p < 0.01), while TEC also mediates the relationship between LEI and SMEC (β = 0.55, p < 0.001). Empirically, framework implementation improved process efficiency by 22%, reduced defect rates by 18%, and increased customer satisfaction by 15%. The study contributes to bridging industrial engineering and entrepreneurship literature by integrating lean principles with innovation-oriented digital practices. Furthermore, the proposed framework demonstrates strong construct validity (CR > 0.85; AVE > 0.60), ensuring robustness and practical applicability. The study recommends incorporating sustainability, resilience, and AI-driven process optimization in future research to extend the model’s relevance across industries and regions, promoting continuous innovation and competitiveness in the digital era.

The development of the use of WhatsApp as the main communication channel in the pre-sales process for SMEs produces large, complex, and heterogeneous lead data, thus requiring an analytical approach to improve the effectiveness of lead management. This study applied the HDBSCAN (Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) algorithm to segment WhatsApp leads on CVs. Multi Engineering Partners used observation-based simulated datasets for the January-June 2025 period. The research follows the CRISP-DM framework through the stages of business understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment. The main variables analyzed included the number of chats, average response time, frequency of follow-ups, source of leads, and closing status. The results of the analysis showed that HDBSCAN was able to form multiple clusters automatically without determining the number of clusters at the beginning, while detecting noise that represented passive or non-potential leads. Clusters with high communication intensity show a greater closure rate so that they can be prioritized for follow-up strategies. These findings confirm that HDBSCAN is effective in handling data leads with varied characteristics and can be a solution for SMEs in optimizing data-driven sales strategies. This research contributes in the form of a Business Intelligence pipeline to support decision-making and recommendations to improve sales performance.
