The purpose of this study is to analyze the entrepreneurial motivations in tourism based on local resources and creative economy in Nagari Salayo of West Sumatra in developing this area into a cultural and creative based tourist destination. The sixty beginner entrepreneurs are involved in this research in community services, where their entrepreneurial motivations are measured by an entrepreneurial motivation scale of the questionnaire and analyzed by using path analysis in determining the relationship between personality characteristic motivation cores. The statistical path model showed significantly affecting of working motive and social motive to capability of entrepreneurial as a direct effect, in contrast only working motive influenced of intention of entrepreneurs, and the capability of entrepreneurial as mediation variable for indirect effects of entrepreneurial motive to intention entrepreunerial. This analysis suggests the model that entrepreneurial motivations have effect to capacity and intention of beginner entrepreneurs to develop business on tourism based on local resources and the creative economy.

The aim of this study is to find out the financial performance's affecting factors of sharia small business bank in Indonesia. Financial performance is the response variable which grouped into three categories, they are bad, medium, and good. Predictor variables involved in this study consisted of 11 numerical data and 1 categorical data. The numerical data are financial capital, productive assets, credit, third party funds, income, capital adequacy ratio, return on assets, return on equity, financing deposit ratio, non performing financing, and operational efficiency. Whereas the categorical data is the location of sharia small business bank (1 if it is in rural areas, 2 if it is in the business center, and 3 if it is in a business and urban center). Ordinal logistic regression with a bootstrap estimation is performed to determine the predictor variable that affects the response variable. This study found that two predictor variables affected the response variable significantly, namely return on assets and return on equity with a hit ratio of 96.41%. So that it can be concluded that the model obtained has been able to determine the level of performance of sharia small business bank in Indonesia.

Bauxite ore mining PT.Antam Tbk. located in Tayan Hilir Subdistrict, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan Province is an open pit backfilling system. Besides the bauxite ore extraction, the washing process resulted slurry which is entering the open channel towards the sedimentation pond. This study aims to determine the total discharge of slurry that will enter the sedimentation pond and assess the capacity of existing sedimentation ponds. The results showed that based on the production target of 700,000 tons of Bauxite Washed/year with 60% concretion factor data, the total discharge of water entering the sedimentation pond was 3.54 m3/sec. The slurry from the open channel will go into the sedimentation pond so that the deposition found in Segment I, IV, V, and VI was 409.06 m3/day, 254.59 m3/day, 561.35 m3/day, and 273.90 m3/day respectivelly. Intensive dredging material will be carried out using two Hitachi Zaxis 210 LC Long-Arm Excavator units. The cleaning time needed by Segment I, IV, V, and VI are 10 days, 6 days,  9 days and 5 days, so that the dredging time of Segment I, IV, V, and VI are 82 days, 65 days, 53 days and 62 days respectivelly

Breeds characterization can be performed based on their phenotypic traits. In poultry, the breeds characterization can be performed based on the egg characteristics. This study was carried out to characterize three Turkish laying chicken breeds (30-49 weeks of age) of White Leghorn (WL), Lohmann Brown (LB) and Ataks (AT) based on their characteristics. Total of 90 new stock eggs (30 eggs/breed) from Görukle market, Bursa city, Republic of Turkey were used for analysis. Three statistical analyses of principal component analysis (PCA), canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) analysis were used for breeds characterization. According to egg size index, most of eggs in this study had normal size type. The highest coefficient of correlation (0.99) value was showed between egg weight (EW) and specific gravity (SG). The PCA revealed that four principal components (4PC’s) of egg characteristics capable to explain the total variance of egg characteristics in WL and LB hens about 83.10% and 78.95% respectively. Meanwhile, 3PC’s of egg characteristic in AT were explained about 81.70% of total variance in egg characteristics. The Euclidean distance revealed that LB and AT hens were grouped into similar cluster and WL hen was grouped into different cluster. In conclusion, the egg characteristics in birds study can be used to characterize of WL (73.3%), LB (93.0%) and AT (76.7%) hens.
