The ease of using Smartphones and the many functions that help with activities, make today's teenagers very familiar with Smartphones, including students at SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola. Students tend to use Smartphones for various reasons, such as just wanting to play games and being too active on social media. The impact of Smartphone dependence, especially on student development, will have a negative impact from an academic point of view. The nature of dependence does not just happen, the influence of one another is certainly interconnected or correlated and forms a causal relationship. This paper aims to see how much influence Smartphone dependency has on the learning behavior of students at SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola and which variables have the most influence on the learning behavior of SMP Negeri 1 Tantom Angkola Students. The method used in this study is the Path Analysis method. Path Analysis is a technique for analyzing causal relationships that occur when exogenous variables affect endogenous variables, not only directly but also indirectly. Path Analysis is used to determine the direct and indirect effects of exogenous variables on an endogenous variable which is reflected in the path coefficient. From the research results, it is obtained that the direct influence of social media variables  on learning behavior  = 44.9%, the large direct influence of online game variables  on learning behavior  = 40.7%, the direct influence of internet data package variables  on learning behavior  = 0.4%, the direct effect of school control variables  on learning behavior  = 85.2%. Then the variable that has the greatest influence on learning behavior is the school control variable with a value of 85.2%.

The purpose of this research to revisits methods that are more effective in nonlinear Optimization with single variable polynomial functions at high degrees. Models with linear objective functions and constraint functions are Polynomials of third, fourth and fifth degree reconstructed into subproblems that are easier to solve, namely quadratic programs, using bilinear Auxiliary Functions and solved by MATLAB simulations. The method used is the development of Tawarmalani & Sahinidis' research regarding relaxation with Auxiliary Functions. Examples of nonlinear Optimization with polynomial functions are also given to illustrate the implementation of this algorithm. The results of the research show that the application of the development reconstruction method produces a global solution that is no better than the solution to the original problem so that it is not an effective alternative method to use.

The Influence of Production Factors on the Income of Rice Farmers in the Waterfall Village, Pantai Cermin District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. This study uses 1 dependent variable and 3 independent variables. The dependent variable is rice farming income, while the independent variables are capital, land area and labor. While the object of research is the farmers of the Village of Waterfall, Pantai Cermin District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Linear regression explains the contribution of the independent variable to the dependent variable so that it can be concluded that this variable has a positive effect on the income of rice farmers. In other words, if the studied variable increases, it will be followed by an increase in rice farming income. Simultaneously (together) the variables studied have a real influence on rice farming income and of the 3 variables studied, partially there is 1 variable, namely the variable land area which has a significant effect on income while 2 variables, namely capital and labor variables have no effect the real impact on the income of rice farmers in the village of Waterfall, Pantai Cermin District.

Based on the results of the data analysis conducted, it was found that the variable land area has a significant effect on the income of corn farmers because the wider the land owned will increase the income of farmers because the more land planted is also encouraged by other factors such as plant care. The variable cost of fertilizer has no significant effect on the income of corn farming because the use of fertilizer must be in accordance with the recommended dosage. If it exceeds it can cause plant death and continuous application of fertilizers can have a bad effect on soil conditions. Soil becomes quickly hardened, less able to store water. The cost of pesticides has no significant effect on the income of corn farming because the excessive use of pesticides is not friendly to the environment and the health of farmers, because nutrients in the soil are eroded in the long term and productivity decreases. Seed costs do not have a significant effect on corn farming income. That is, the more seeds used, the greater the production yields, but there is still a maximum limit for this use, if it is used beyond this limit it will reduce production yields. The variable amount of labor does not have a significant effect on the income of farmers because the more labor used will reduce income to provide wages, the labor used in this case is daily workers and only at harvest time. The output price variable does not have a significant effect on farmer income where the increase or a decrease in the total output price will result in an increase and decrease in corn income in the Waterfall Village, Pantai Cermin District.

The research was conducted in Medan Krio Village, Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The purpose of this study was to analyze the variables of crop production and the exchange rate of farmers to the income of rice farmers in Medan Krio Village both partially and simultaneously. The research data used are primary. In addition, secondary data is also used as support for primary data. The data analysis technique used is a direct interview of respondents with the help of a questionnaire that has been prepared. The data analysis method used is Multiple Linear Regression. The results of this study variable crop production have a significant effect on the income of rice farmers in Medan Krio Village. And the variable exchange rate of farmers has an insignificant effect on the income of rice farmers in Medan Krio Village. The simultaneous variables of crop production and farmer exchange rates simultaneously do not affect the income of farmers in Medan Krio Village. The suggestion in the research is that there is a need for intervention from the government and the private sector to increase farmers' crop production to improve the welfare of farmers.
