Watershed is a medium system where hydrological-biophysical processes as part of hydrological cycle and social, economic, and cultural events as the results of human intervention on natural resource occur. The increasing human population results in the increasing need of water that may reduce the availability of water, causing environmental degradation. The objectives of this study were to study the characteristics of Tabunio watershed and to give recommendation on the enrichment planting for the watershed recovery. This study used watershed ecological area approach and the data were analyzed spatially using GIS. The results showed that based on the characteristics of its components, Tabunio Watershed was categorized as moderately to very highly qualified for recovery. The recovery should be done through: (i) enrichment planting based on the land capability, land suitability and the legal function of the area, (ii) conservation of soil and water using vegetative and civil engineering methods, and (iii) issuance of regulations to increase the watershed's carrying capacity.

The debate on the effect of government expenditure on economic growth has still happened in relation to classical groups and Keynesians view. The aim of this study confirms the relationship, with the application of the case in Indonesia. Gov-ernment expenditures are aggregated, while economic growth is measured by gross domestic product. With time series design, the secondary data used covers the period of 2004 to 2013. At first, the data were analyzed descriptive-graphics, while the hypothesis testing using t-test. The results obtained indicate that government spending has a positive and significant influence to economic growth. Thus, spend-ing and investment forms by government as a form of fiscal policy must be done with great caution in order to avoid misallocation or inequality in the distribution of inter-sector development, given the importance of its role as a pending national economic growth.

This study seeks to analyze the effect of Non-Performing Loans and Capital Adequacy Ratio on Return on Assets on ten conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI-IDX). This study uses secondary panel data for 2015-2019 in the form of CAR and NPL values from ten conventional banks listed on the BEI-IDX during the 2020 observation period. The research approach is quantitative descriptive with data analysis methods, namely, linear regression. The testing phase of this study includes: transform value, F-test, T-test and hypothesis test with significancy level sig < 0.05. The results of this study reveal that Non-Performing Loans had a significant negative effect (t =-2,637) (0.011 <0.0) on Return on Assets, while Capital Adequacy Ratio has no significant effect on ROA (0.760 > 0.05). R2 value is 0.128 or 12.8%. It has a significant effect on variables, calling efforts by banks, governments, and authorities monetary of related institutions to maintain the stability of finance. The reduction of Non-Performing Loan impacts on assets and capital adequacy ratio, besides, the normal NPL will control the stability of finance. If a balance is created either in the form of values or amounts of the variables, the reduction in Non-Performing Loans will be controlled.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes Management simultaneously and partially on the Employee Performance of PT. Langsa Plantation Nusantara I. This research was conducted at the Head Office of PT. Langsa Perkebunan Nusantara I, the study was conducted for two months. 83 employees were surveyed randomly as respondents. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. From the data analysis obtained the regression equation Y = 1,042 + 0,132X1 + 0,220X2 + 0,391X3. Furthermore, from the results of the analysis it is known that the value of t arithmetic is 1.665> t table 1.664 and the value of t sig. 0.041 <0.05, which means that the Knowledge Management variable influences employee performance variables. While for the Skill variable, the value of t arithmetic is 2.267> t table 1.664 and the value of t sig. 0.026 <0.05 which means that the Skill variable has a significant effect on employee performance variables. And for the Attitude variable obtained t count value of 4.335> t table 1.664 and t value sig. 0.00 <0.05 which means that the attitude variable has a significant effect on employee performance variables. Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes Management simultaneously has a significant effect on employee performance at the Head Office of PT. Langsa Perkebuanan Nusantara I where F count value is 25,477> 3,29.

This study aims to explore important indicators applicable for the early detection of investment scams and to investigate the effect of age, education and financial literacy on the ability to detectinvestment scams. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey with respondents inSemarang, Indonesia. A total of 311 respondents completed the questionnaires, for a 62.2%response rate, but only 304 questionnaires were usable. Confirmatory factor analysis was used toverify the indicators of investment scams, and a regression model was then employed to analyzethe data. The findings show five main indicators applicable for early detection of investmentscams: a) investments with unreasonably-high returns, b) investment involving salespeople thattend to force potential investors to make an immediate decision about the investment, c)investments without reasonable underlying cores of business, in accordance with principles offairness and prudence in financial investment sectors, d) investments with no clear explanationon how the investment funds are managed, and e) investments without any information on thestructure of management, ownership, and business, and the address of the companies. Finally,the finding shows that the level of individual financial literacy positively affects the ability todetect investment scams. However, age and education do not affect the ability to detectinvestment scams.

Cow manure fertilizer was used as raw material for the extraction of humic acid in this research. The aim of this research were  extraction of humic acid from cow manure fertilizer, characterization of functional groups based on FTIR spectra, and determination of humic acid functional groups. Humic acid extraction from cow manure used 0.050 M; 0.100 M; 0.250 M dan 0.500 M KOH solution. A cow manure fertilizer were shaken with KOH solution for 1; 2; 4 and 6 h. The quantitative determination of oxygen-containing functional groups of humic acid was conducted by titrimetri. The FTIR spectrum showed the presence of  –OH group and N-H stretching (bands 3361.46 cm-1); C-H aliphatic for CH2, CH3 (2946.52 cm-1 and 1442.24 cm-1); C=C aromatic components (1626.48 cm-1); COO- symmetric stretching (1521.71 cm-1); C-O stretching from –COOH (1229.74 cm-1). Total acidity value was 500 cmole.kg-1 (Baryta Absorption Method); carboxyl groups content was 250 cmole.kg-1 (Ca-Acetate Method); and phenol (OH) concentration was 250 cmole.kg-1. It can be concluded that humic acid successfully extracted from cow manure fertilizer using 0.250 KOH solution as extractant for 2 h, which has  yield of 4.486% humic acid.

This study aims to analyze the leading sectors in the economy in Eastern Aceh. The data analysis method used is Location Quotient (LQ) analysis and Shift Share analysis. Based on the calculation of LQ, it is known that the leading sector of East Aceh Regency is the mining sector and the LQ excavation from 2010-2016 with an average of 1,68 (LQ>1). This is because the availability of mineral content in East Aceh Regency increases the regional economy. The leading sector of Langsa City is health services and social activities with an average LQ since 2010-2016 of 2,10 (LQ>1). The leading sector of Aceh Tamiang Regency is the mining sector and excavation with an average LQ from 2010-2016 of 1,77 (LQ>1). Based on the shift share analysis, it is explained that the highest sector providing an increase in Aceh's GDRP was in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, and it was in the East Aceh District and Aceh Tamiang District, while Langsa City was not included. The sector that contributes to the increase in Aceh's GDRP, in Langsa City the sector that provides the highest increase in Aceh's GDRP is the sector of large and retail trade, car and motorcycle repair.
