Abstract
In the face of the public, having certain types of influence is perceived to may help practitioners and even ordinary employees to draw the people-s attention into believing the news or story which spreads to serve any particular purpose. However, it is believed that previous researchers are yet to develop a set of items that can help to interpret the role of influence and power dimension among employees. This study aims to identify the key factors that can help to affirm the suitability of a set of items namely Influence Resources Scale (IRS). A total of 187 respondents consisting of school teachers in Kelantan had voluntarily participated in providing feedbacks towards the Influence Resources Scale (IRS). The completed questionnaires were analysed in the exploratory factor analysis procedure to identify the role of influence and power dimension among employees. A principal component analysis procedure along with the varimax rotation was conducted. The factors generated from the procedure are: Relational: Internal, Informational: Access to Information, Individual: Skills and Individual: Professional. The study concludes that the four –factors derived from principal component analysis with varimax rotation can help to assess the role of Influence Resources among Teachers in Kelantan, Malaysia. The study also suggests that the IRS scale can be replicated to other local and Asian respondents as a predicting factor towards additional variables such as gossip engagement and individual work performance.

Abstract
Indonesia with a Muslim population reaching 87.17% is very strategic for industrial halal development. But halal industries in Indonesia have not grown optimally. One reason is the lack of Islamic finance for halal industry players currently supporting Islamic finance based on Islamic banking. This study aims to increase Islamic finance financing through a SEISHI application (Smart Education and Investment System 4.0 for Halal Industries). SEISHI (Smart Education and Investment System 4.0 for Halal Industries) is a concept of innovation in the field of technology that can be a funding and investment alternative for halal insudtri in Indonesia. This research was designed on a regional scale in Malang City. The research methodology used is descriptive qualitative method. Based on the results of the study, it was explained that the SEISHI application contained two main menus, namely investment for investors and the submission of capital loans. SEISHI (Smart Education and Investment System 4.0 for Halal Industries) brings together important elements in the halal cycle of industry namely halal industry players, Islamic banking, investors and the government as regulators. Through this innovation concept, it is expected that it will be able to strengthen sharia funding and investment for industrial halal actors in a sustainable manner.

Abstract
This research based of the problem of the number of scientific publications in Indonesia that are still low. The lack of researchers is presumed to be one of the reasons that the number of international publications is still low if compared with other countries. In addition to the above, another problem is that the number of scientific documents in Indonesia is still low in the Southeast Asian region. The above problems are caused by many factors, including (1). Researchers often experience difficulties in obtaining references to both books and journals that support their research, (2). Researchers find it difficult to find research partners who have scientific similarities and interests in one research topic. The purpose of this study is to answer the above problems through an application called thinkgather.com. The purpose of this study was to design and build an application as an interactive medium for researchers. One of the advantages of this application is being able to connect between one researcher and another researcher in one social media. This research was designed to have 3 stages of research, namely the preliminary study and data collection stage, the planning and preparation stage, the limited scale trial stage, the large-scale trial and improvement. It is expected that the thinkgather.com application can become a means of researchers as a media discussion and facilitate researchers in finding partners in the research that will be carried out.

Abstract
Halal has evolved tremendously in the recent years. Previously, there is no demand on halal market. Halal is only targeted for Muslim consumer throughout the world. The practice has been there traditionally. However, halal has been the centre of economic discussion in recent years. This is due to the growth of Muslim population around the world which in turn contributes to the global market demand on halal based on the Global Economic Report. Many Muslim countries take this economic opportunity to grow their halal market, Brunei Darussalam is not an exception. At present, halal industry in Brunei Darussalam is seen as one of the industries that have major potential on local economy due to the growth of the demand globally. Brunei has its own potential to go global despite being geographically small. There are few different entities monitoring halal and playing different roles in Brunei. Brunei Islamic Religious Council (MUIB), Halal Food Control Division, Ministry of Health, Royal Customs and Excise Department. Thus this paper is aimed to give the general insight and overview of halal industry in Brunei Darussalam.

Abstract
Only about 10% of all small business in Indonesia have been halal certified. This study aims to understand the factors that can push their intention to conduct halal certification. Of the 30 respondents who have not had a halal certificate yet, this study found that halal awareness, halal knowledge, and challenges do not affect intention. The business actors have already known the existence and procedure of halal certification, but the awareness and knowledge do not guarantee business to conduct halal certification directly. Challenges also do not become a barrier of halal certification. Meanwhile, acceptance of halal certification and motivation from both internal and external encourage the intention of halal certification. Acceptance, desire to have standardized production, encouragement from government, and consumer expectations of halal products drive the intention of halal certification. The implication of this study is the importance of real encouragement and assistance to motivate business to obtain halal certification of their products.

Abstract
The investigation of renewable energy sources is critical regarding the availability of energy in the future. This study was aimed to understand the potential of Cerbera manghas de-oiled seed by investigating the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters during the pyrolysis process. The de-oiled seed was obtained by the pressing of the seed at 33.8192 N/m2 to release its oil content. To find out the decomposition pattern of de-oiled seed, the thermal analyzer (Mettler Toledo TG-DSC1) was occupied where the mass loss of the sample was observed and recorded during the heating process from 25 up to 900 oC with a heating rate of 15 oC/min, and the nitrogen flow rate of 50 mL/min to prevent oxidation during temperature escalation. The kinetic parameters were studied using the Coats-Redfern method. The results showed that the de-oiled seed decomposed into three stages; the first stage occurs at temperatures of 25-178 oC, the second stage occurs at temperatures of 189-488 oC, and the third stage at temperatures of 500-900 oC, with the very low residue of 15.4 % was left over at the final thermal processes. The kinetics analysis resulted in the activation energy, reaction order, and pre-exponential factor of 27.42 kJ/mol, 0.94 and 68,64 min-1, respectively. Following the kinetic results then the thermodynamic parameters were analyzed and resulted in the values of Delta H (Enthalpy), Delta G (Free Gibbs energy), and Delta S (Entropy) that were 22,40 kJ/mol, 171,86 kJ/mol, and -0,2230 kJ/mol, respectively.

Abstract
Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) based on TiO2 material are very potential because of several advantages such as high photostability, high thermal stability and very effective for Dye absorption. However, TiO2 still has limitation in terms of electron mobility. It needs to be composited with other materials for electron mobility. Material that has a potential is ZnO material. beside that ZnO also has the same band gap range as TiO2. In this condition, the composite system of TiO2-ZnO becomes more potential to be used as a DSSC electrode. In the Photosupercapacitor system, with a high source of electrical energy from DSSC, a Supercapacitor unit with sufficient capacitance is also needed. In this case, the selection of capacitor electrodes is very influential. In this study, electrodes based on the BaTiO3-PVDF composite system were used. With the dielectric permittivity reaching 1700, BaTiO3 material is the main candidate for the supercapacitor dielectric material. But BaTiO3 has limitations such as fragile and unflexible nature. This limitation can be overcome in combination with the PVDF polymer which has advantage in terms of its flexible properties. Besides that, the dielectric permittivity is the most optimal compared to other types of polymers. This study examined the effect of irradiation duration and light intensity on Photosupercapacitor performance. The results showed that the length of light irradiation, photoelectric current (Isc) of DSSC (photosupercapacitor system) and capacitance (C) of Supercapacitor (photosupercapacitor system) had an exponential relation. Characterization of light intensity on photoelectric current (Isc) and potential difference (Voc) of DSSC (Photosupercapacitor system) had a linear relation. The same result also shown in the characterization of light intensity on potential difference (Vc) and capacitance (C) of Supercapacitor (Photosupercapacitor System) which produced linear relations.

Abstract
The availability of synthetic waste (SW) continuously increases, but on the contrary, fossil fuels resources always decrease. The potential of SW for alternative fuel is critical to investigate for overcoming the problem generated from its overabundance and to provide its value-added. In this study, the changes of the macromolecular and the mineralogical during the SW combustion processes were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The combustion has been performed by using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) at a heating rate of 10 oC/min, from 25 to 1000 oC, with 100 ml/min constant flow rate of air atmosphere. According to the TGA results, the decomposition stage of the sample can be identified as a function of temperature and time. From ambient temperatures to 293 oC the sample experienced the first decomposition process that was correlated with the moisture losses and light volatile release. Macromolecular changes have occurred at the temperature 293 oC where a functional group of C-H in methylene was decomposed due to the removal of volatile matter. From the temperature of 293 to 485 oC the sample underwent the second stage of decomposition. The XRD result showed that mineral changes occurred at the temperature of 485 oC where KCl compound was formed. In line with the escalating temperature, the SiO2 was decomposed at the temperature of 590 oC. The final stage occurred at the temperature 625 to 1000 oC indicated by constant of TG line. At 625 oC, XRD result indicated the significant increasing of the CaCO3 compound.

Abstract. This study aims to determine the thermal characteristics of microalgae Tetraselmis chuii pyrolysis in the presence of TiO2 using thermogravimetric analysis. The algae sample was harvested after 8 days of culture on a lab scale from Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Meanwhile, TiO2 material that was measuring of 25 nm was obtained from Singapores SIGMA ALDRICH. The washing of the sample was done twice using distilled water, and then the algae were deposited until formed the gel. Afterward, the gel material was heated for 24 hours at 80 C to obtain a dry form. Then the dry material was broken by crusher to be a powder and then filtered on a mesh of 60. The final sample was achieved by combining 10 mg of microalgae with 0.03 mg of TiO2. To ensure the homogenius blend, the mechanically mixing process was performed by using a mortar, and subsequently, the last heating was occupied on the sample at a temperature of 80 C for 14 hours. Experiments were carried out on TG analyzer (Mettler Toledo TG DSC 1). Approximately (10.03 mg) of the sample is placed in an aluminum pan and then inserted into the chamber. The heating process was initiated at a temperature of 25 C, and constantly controlled by a computer at the rate of 10 C min until the completed temperature of 900 C. To prevent the oxidation during the thermal processes, nitrogen is chosen as a carrier gas with a flow rate of 50 ml min. From the TG experiments subsequently could be determined the mass loss of the sample during the escalation temperature and time; therefore, the thermal decomposition behavior of the material is possible to be specified. From this thermal characteristic, then the reaction kinetics, as well as thermodynamic parameters, are evaluated. By using a single heating rate, it is practicable to determine of Ea (Activation energy), A (Pre-exponential factor), and n (reaction order) using the model-fitting of Coats-Redfern. These results will be compared with the kinetic of the parent Tetraselmis chuii and will be immediately presented in the next paper.

Abstract
Banda Sea waters is the potential area for fisheries, especially for Tuna. Banda eddy and the relationship to chlorophyll-a were studied using the output of ocean circulation model INDESO (Infrastructure Development of Space Oceanography) configuration from 2008-2011 during normal (June-August 2008) and ENSO (El Nino/ June- August 2009 and La Nina/ June-August 2010). The model result showing two clockwise eddies in the northern part of Banda sea and three counterclockwise eddies in the southern part of Banda Sea. The eddy counterclockwise was found from 20 m depth and causing upwelling along the island arc on the western edge of Banda sea. Eddy counterclockwise in the southern of Banda Sea cause the downwelling. The presence of these 5 eddies is thought to be an important factoring in maintaining water balance system in the Banda Sea as long as southeast monsoon period. In the surface, higher vorticity of the eddy was found in the northern of southwest Maluku Island. The presence of this eddy is thought to have a strong influence on nutrient loss on the surface. Our research shows that during the La Nina period, the eddies vorticity increased causing low surface chlorophyll in the surface the Banda Sea.

Abstract
Updated information regarding tunicates distribution and diversity in the northern waters of Ambon Island is scarce, if any. We carried out an assessment using underwater census approach in June 2018 to obtain the said information. Tunicates composition and distribution were described based on six sampling stations observations. Their average density in five of six stations was less than one individual per meter square. Predominant species observed were Didemnum molle, followed by Polycarpa aurata. Tunicates belong to Didemnum molle were highly abundant in three stations (Morella, Hitu and Larike). Those identified as Polycarpa aurata were predominant only in two stations (Mamala and Wakal). Further studies are needed to investigate the anthropogenic pressure effect on these tunicates, as they were known as biomarkers in ecotoxicological studies.

Abstract
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is the ability to teach a content on a particular concept so students can master the concept correctly. One characteristic of qualified teacher is having excellent PCK ability. The purpose of this study is to obtain an PCK ability profile of prospective physics teachers in reflecting project-based learning (PjBL) that had been carried out. This research is a qualitative research with narrative research design. The data collection instrument in this study is Pedagogical and Professional-experience Repertoires (PaP-eRs). The subjects in this study are 13 physics students (prospective teachers) in one of State University of East Kalimantan. The results shows that the average value of PCK ability of prospective physics teachers in reflecting PjBL is 50% in sufficient category. Based on the results of study, academics or stakeholders need to add adequate facilities as a means for students to practice teaching, develop teaching materials, and master the concept of physics better.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to know the gain of students achievement that taught by using dubido. The research has been done in Chemistry Educational Study Program in Unimed. The experimental class was given treatment with teaching by using dubido media based on contextual. The experimental class has fulfilled the requirement for normality and homogenity test. The mean of pretest results and posttest results were 42.240 and 84.480. The increase of posttest results indicated that learning by using dubido based on contextual can improve students achievement. The increase of students achievement signed by gain percent with the percent of gain value was 73.3. The result of t test was obtained from tcount is more than t table (2.590 is more than 1.677) at alpha is 0.05, it means that the implementation of dubido based on contextual was given positive effect to increase students achievement.

Abstract
Generating and atracting movements is a phenomenon of need for distribution in a zone in a region. Movement distribution model has an important role to increase economic and regional growth. The model design strategy is determined based on alternative supply and demand generation and the atractionl of movement. The need for strategies to limit supply and demand is determined by restrictions on generation or atraction of movement. The method of limiting the generation or atraction of movement as a distribution system model solution is single constraint. Distribution system modeling with one limitation is based on gravity modeling. Distribution system simulation modeling is built the gravity algorithm. Distribution system starts from constructing generation models with variables that determine the generation of movement. The socio-demographic, infrastructure and freights vehicle are used in this variable modeling. The model was tested with statistical parameters with a test of determination and correlation test. Distribution system modeling is then accumulated in computational models of basic matrices that are defined based on the specified zone. The matrix iteration process in the model calibration will determine results of distribution system model with results of matrix convergence defined.

Abstract
The scientific competence indicators used by OECD in PISA year 2015 are (1) describe phenomena scientifically, (2) design and evaluate scientific enquiry, and (3) interpreting data and evidence scientifically. Those indicators are compatible with HOTS perspectives as they need the three highest cognitive process dimension namely analyse, evaluate and create. To fostering students scientific competency in science learning, teachers must be mastering it first. This study aims to get the teachers scientific competences profile based on OECD indicators in HOTS perspective. From written test done by teachers, it was found that capability in performing those three scientific competence indicators are still in less qualified.

Abstract
One of critical factor for creating organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is cultural value. Bugis is one of important tribe in Asia, not only in Indonesia, the buginese population also spread on Asia, and South Africa.This study-s aim was to explore the role of cultural values of buginese in creating the OCB of civil servants at local hospital in Makassar city, Indonesia. It was a cross sectional study. The population was 265 and 106 sampel was selected from all buginese staff in hospital. Data was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. The Spearman-s rho value was 0,314 with p.value <0,05. There was a relationship between siri na pesse value of buginese and OCB. It was implied that buginese staff may have high performance due to high OCB, hospital manager is supposed to foster the cultural value of staff to increase their OCB.
