The major objective of this study is to examine the relationship between working capital management and firms profitability. Using a dataset of all Indonesian firms over the period 1998-2010, results show that the Cash Conversion Cycle and Net Trade Cycle are positively associated with the firms profitability. Results also show that firms riskiness, as measured by the debt ratio, is negatively related to the firms Return on Assets. The results of this study should be of interest to executives and major stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, and financial analysts, especially after the recent global financial crisis and the latest collapses of giant organizations worldwide.

Trading model has been changing since the vast implementation of Information and Communication Technology in every sector. This model is known as e-Commerce. Unlikely, there is still limited company which specifically trades agriculture product. Agriculture e-Commerce is known as a platform to buy and sell some agriculture products. Agriculture e-commerce has important role to support economic development and market expansion for farmers in particular and people in rural areas in general. There is still limited access and provider which buy and sell agriculture product to farmer and its farmer representative. Therefore, this research develops specific agriculture e-commerce. There are two main modules for agriculture e-commerce, purchasing and buying module. On this article, we acknowledge to develop the first module, which is purchasing module. Purchasing module was developed using Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM). Development phase includes feasibility study, business study, functional model iteration, and design and build model iteration. At the end of the phase, testing is conducted. The result of this study is the prototype of agriculture e-Commerce product with predefined functions. Purchasing module of the system depicts the opportunity for farmer to buy the tools and materials. This system has two main functions: purchasing system management and reporting management. System testing also was conducted to test the system.

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in agriculture has become one of the steps to improve agricultural efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, and also expected to encourage the creation of Precision Agriculture. Precision agriculture has an impact on the efficiency of operational costs to increase margins in the production of agricultural products using ICTs. One of the problems that often arise in agriculture is related to the management of agricultural land in each farmer group area. This information is closely related to the needs of agricultural production facilities and infrastructure, such as the need for fertilizers, seeds, and other resources. Web Mapping System is one of the systems to assist in land or area mapping. In this study, the Web Mapping System is expected to be used to help at agricultural land mapping, owned by farmer members of farmer groups. The developed system will store spatial data from farmland members and farmer groups. The Web Mapping System was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, where there are several iterative processes. The result of this study is the Web Mapping System for agricultural land. With this application, farmers can find out the status of the land being cultivated or owned. In addition, the Web Mapping System can record the status of the existing land in a farmer group and the need for agricultural production facilities and infrastructure. Further, the Web Mapping System also provides information in a dashboard that can help farmer groups to manage the land owned by each farmer who is a member of the group.

Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi menjadi salah satu punggung bagi penyebaran informasi ke masyarakat luas. Penggunaan Teknologi Informasi ini juga telah dilakukan oleh masyarakat perdesaan untuk mempublikasikan potensi desa yang dimiliki melalui penggunaan Website profil desa. Potensi yang dimiliki oleh desa ini sangat unik dan beragam. Penggunaan website profil desa juga membantu untuk menyebarluaskan kepada masyarakat di luar desa tersebut. Akan tetapi, salah satu kendala yang dihadapi oleh masing-masing desa dalam pengembangan website profil desa adalah kemampuan aparatur desa untuk mengembangkan website profil. Keterbatasan kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh aparatur desa mendorong tim pengabdi untuk melatih aparatur bagi 3 desa, yaitu Desa Mukiran, Desa Rogomulyo, dan Desa Kaliwungu. Ketiga desa ini berada di Kabupaten Semarang, Jawa Tengah. Kegiatan pelatihan ini dilakukan selama 3 hari yang dimulai pada Senin, 4 Juni 2018 dan berakhir pada Rabu, 6 Juni 2018. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan di Perpustakaan Desa Mukiran, Ngudi Ilmu. Masing-masing desa mengirimkan 3 aparaturnya untuk dapat mengikuti kegiatan ini. Pengukuran yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan ini adalah dengan menggunakan pretest dan posttest untuk masing-masing materi yang disampaikan. Terdapat 2 pokok bahasan utama dalam kegiatan pelatihan ini, yaitu arsitektur informasi website dan pengembangan website profil dengan Wordpress. Hasil lain yang di dapat dari pelatihan ini adalah draft website profile bagi masing-masing desa dan sudah di hosting secara online.

Purpose The use of extended reality (XR) to create memorable experiences has attracted considerable attention, especially in tourism. Multisensory XR offers a new way of virtually previewing a destination before physical holidays. This study aims to explore how multisensory XR can be used at each stage of the tourism experience journey. This study established a model for how destination-image formation is affected by multisensory XR in each phase of tourism experience. Design/methodology/approach The authors followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to review studies published between 2013 and 2020, gathered from four research databases. The authors identified the predominant XR technology and sensory stimuli based on the characteristics of various tourism domains. The authors synthesized the previous studies to explain destination-image formation by using multisensory XR. Findings This study summarized the XR study distribution among the three stages of the tourism experience journey. The authors identified the predominant sensory stimuli and dominant XR application and developed a destination-image formation model by using multisensory XR. Originality/value This study highlights the holistic approach of multisensory XR in the tourism experience journey in relation to various tourism domains. It also contributes to destination-image formation in the virtual environment by providing multisensory experiences of predominant sensory stimuli at each stage.

Abstract. Stakeholders plays an important roles to determine the system requirements. Stakeholders are people or organizations that has an interest to the enterprise. Timely and effective consultation of relevant stakeholders is a paramount importance in the requirements engineering process.From the research and analysis of system stakeholder finds that there are four stakeholder groups in IAIS. Stakeholder analysis is being implemented by identifying stakeholder, stakeholder category, and analysis interaction between stakeholders.

Information System usability level depends on acceptance and system convenience to be run by users. One of the methods to measure usability level is by conducting usability testing. This article elaborates usability testing for Crop and Farmer Activity Information System. This system is one of the agriculture information systems that is developed to record system activities for each farm field. This system is considered as one of the important role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for agriculture. This system has been developing since 2017 and needs to be assessed and tested. To assess the system, usability testing was conducted by taking sampling from two regions in Central Java, Temanggung and Gombong. The respondents are system administrators, farmers, and general users with each of respondents has different criteria. There are 58 respondents participated in this research: 49 farmers, 3 system administrators, and 6 general users. Usability testing was carried out by giving respondents several test tasks based on the system. Each respondent had different kind of test task in accordance with the system functionality for each user. The result of the test found that system administrator user interface assessment value gained average percentage of 69%, while the farmers gained 76% and general users gained 79%. From the test, it also bring some recommendations for system refinement. Those recommendations were taken from user inputs and user test results. The recommendations have been made to bring better system environment.
