Freshwater fish farming extension activity is one of the activities at UPT Karanganyar Fish Seed Center (BBI). In freshwater fish farming extension activities at the exposure session at UPT Balai Balai Ikan Ikan (BBI), they still used the lecture model and did not use other extension media. This resulted in extension participants becoming less familiar with the exposure material they obtained. Participants had difficulty in describing counseling materials. This has become an obstacle for the extension team in delivering the counseling material. Utilization of Simulated Multimedia as a 3D Animation-Based Counseling Media, can facilitate the counseling team in providing material exposure explanation on how to cultivate freshwater fish. By utilizing 3D Animation-based Mutlimedia Simulation can help extension participants in understanding the depiction of extension material to be implemented at the practice stage of freshwater fish farming. This is evidenced by using a user test, 40% of 25 respondents who stated that by utilizing multimedia simulation based on 3D assimilation, it is feasible to be used as an extension media for freshwater fish farming.

The study aims to analyze the influence of internal control systems and the use of information technology on the quality of financial reports, with human resource competence serving as a mediating variable. The study was conducted at 18 Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Gresik Regency, with the main indicators being internal control systems, the use of information technology, financial report quality, and human resource competence. Using purposive sampling, a sample of 70 respondents comprising the population of Puskesmas employees in the Gresik region was selected for the study. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) method was used as the data analysis technique after all primary data were collected via a questionnaire specifically designed to represent the relevant variables. Based on the research results, the quality of financial reports has a positive impact when utilizing an information technology-based internal control system. However, human resource competence does not have a maximal impact on the utilization of the internal control system; nevertheless, a positive impact can be leveraged through the use of information technology. Further mediation analysis indicates that human resource competency mediates the correlation between internal control systems and financial statement quality. Conversely, human resource competency does not mediate the relationship between the utilization of information technology and financial statement quality. This study underscores the importance of internal control systems, the utilization of information technology, and human resource competency in producing optimal financial statement quality.

Several models have been constructed to analyze and understand the factors that influence theacceptance of the use of computer technology such as Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theoryof Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Another model developedby Doll and Torkzadeh (1988) is a model of End User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS). Thisresearch is the study on the TAM and EUCS model of the acceptance and user satisfaction ofcomputer based information system (CBIS). Purpose of this study is trying to use and test the twomodels of acceptance technology, the TAM and EUCS models by examining their influence on theuse and utilization of systems that will ultimately affect the level of user satisfaction (usersatisfaction) as an indicator of the success of a system. Samples used in this study were obtainedfrom the sampling technique based on the criteria (purposive sampling)of a trading company inSemarang, Central Java on the sub-sector (according to the incorporated trading companydirectory-BPS). Test of the hypothesis is formulated using regression models. Three of the sevenstated hypothesis is rejected, while based on the results of the indirect analysis it can be concludedthat the variable utility (usefulness), ease of use, accuracy and timelines in the use of a system alsoaffects the user’s satisfaction.Key Words: Technology Acceptance Model, End User Computing Satisfaction, Computer BasedInformation System, User’s Satisfaction.
