Indonesia has become the country with the largest palm oil production. However, the level of productivity of oil palm per land in Indonesia tends to remain stagnant. The main objective of this study is to evaluate oil palm lands of smallholders that experience land inefficiency. In analyzing land efficiency, this study used cross-section data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). This study uses an input distance function approach with stochastic frontier analysis tools. Our estimation results found that on average, smallholders oil palm plantations face land inefficiency. The land inefficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations is not proportional to the negative impacts it has caused. The intensification of oil palm plantation land is one of the ways to reduce the rate of deforestation and optimize available land. Land intensification can be done through the selection of potential lands, renewal programs for oil palm trees, supporting facilities and infrastructure, and plantation technology development.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Special Allocation Funds, Capital Expenditures and Investment on Economic growth in the Sulawesi region. The data used are secondary data obtained from Simreg Bappenas and the Central Statistics Agency during 2007-2016. The unit of analysis is 6 provinces in the Sulawesi region. This study uses a panel data regression model with the Random Effect Model (REM) method. The results of this study indicate that, (i) the Special Allocation Fund has a negative and significant effect on economic growth in the Sulawesi region. (ii) Capital expenditure shows a positive and significant influence on economic growth in the Sulawesi region. (iii) Investment shows a positive and significant influence on economic growth in the Sulawesi region.Keywords: Special Allocation Funds, Capital Expenditures, Investment, Economic Growth, Random Effect Model (REM).

Indonesia’s palm oil plantation is dominated by three actors. Among three actors, the productivity of smallholder farmers has the lowest productivity. This study aims to analyze the value of technical efficiency and factors affecting the technical inefficiency of palm oil plantations in Indonesia by using the stochastic frontier analysis based on the translog production function. The data used in this study are taken from the Central Statistics Agency (Agricultural Business Household Income Survey) in 2013. The number of samples used was 14,367 farmers. The results revealed that the average value of technical efficiency (58.32%) is still far to reach its optimal, showing that there is still to increase in the efficiency of palm oil plantations in Indonesia. The production function suggests that increasing the number of trees can help to increase the number of outputs. To enhance the technical efficiency, education, age, planting system, seed quality, extension service, and plasma farmer are the significant factors.

KEYWORDS PendahuluanProses belajar merupakan interaksi yang dilakukan antara guru dengan siswa dalam situasi pembelajaran, guru berusaha mengembangkan potensi yang dimiliki oleh siswa untuk mencapai tujuan pendidikan. Salah satu tugas utama seorang guru dalam mewujudkan tujuan-tujuan pendidikan di sekolah adalah mengembangkan strategi belajar mengajar yang efektif. Pengem-bangan strategi ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan kondisi yang dapat mempengaruhi siswa sehingga mereka mengembangkan kemampuannya dalam belajar secara optimal.Berdasarkan observasi yang dilakukan di SMK Negeri I Limboto Kabupaten Gorontalo yakni: Kurangnya perhatian siswa dalam mengikuti pelajaran kearsipan, siswa tidak memiliki kemauan belajar yang ABSTRACT This research aims at improving student's learning achievement in archives through the implementation of direct instruction learning model at grade X ADP 1, SMK NEGERI 1 Limboto. It applies Classroom Action Research, Samples are 24 student's consisten of 4 males and 20 famales at grade XADP 1 in archives. This is a Clasroom action research consisting of 2cycles which is cycle I and II. Analysis in cycle I shows that out of 24 student's 9 or 37,5% obtains score ≤ 75 while the rest 15 or 62,5% obtains score of > 75 and 2 students (8,33%) obtain score of less than 75. Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of direct instruction learning model can improve student's learning achievement in archieve subject at SMK Negeri Limboto District of Gorontalo.

The objective of this research is to analyze how much the influence of infrastructure availability to the income of fisheries at Olele Village, Kabila Bone Sub-District, Bone Bolango Regency. The Method used in this research is random sampling to determine the location is intended and than used purposive to determine the sample of population at that village.  The result of this research are Road infrastructure is significant about 0,05 (0,02) means that it’s influence in to the in-come of Fisheries, transportation factor have influenced about 0,05 (0,08) in to the Fisheries in-come, economy activities like market is influence also to the fisheries in-come, Health and education factors have influenced about 0,5 (0,01) and 0,05 (0,01) in to the fisheries in-come, for education and electric power factors also influenced in to the fisheries in-come, water pump, sport square and praying building have also influenced significantly in to the in-come of fisheries.
