Study was to emit various strategies to develop buffalo cattle in a semi-intensive rearing system at BPTU HPT Siborongborong. Primary data, collected through observation, focus group discussion (FGD), and secondary data, collected through relevant reports and literature. Development potential, challenges and opportunities were identified using desirability evaluation, descriptive analysis and SWOT. The results show that the semi-intensive system implemented has improved animal productivity, with adult buffaloes averaging 500 kilograms in weight and 0.7 kilograms in daily growth. The system also offers significant economic benefits, with an average net profit of IDR 800,000 for each head each month. However, a lack of protected human resources and seasonal forage shortages remain constraints. Feed diversification, farmer training and analysing the use of advanced technology are the plans made based on SWOT. The Siborongborong semi-intensive system has a great opportunity to become an example of effective and sustainable buffalo management in Indonesia.

The construction of the pier at Pasir Kuning Beach, Tempilang, West Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands, aims to improve access and facilities for visitors. The beach is famous for its yellow sand beauty and distinctive cultural attractions, such as the tradition of the Ketupat War. The planned pier will support tourism activities by providing facilities for tourist boats and improving safety in shipping. This study evaluates the technical and topographic aspects needed to determine the most appropriate location of the pier. By taking into account factors such as tides, waves, and currents, the optimal location for the construction of the pier was successfully identified.

This study aims to analyze the proposed relocation of the Kerabut market to a more strategic location. The relocation of the market is driven by congestion and accident-prone problems that often occur in the previous location due to the lack of good spatial planning. In addition, many traders sell without permits around the market location, thus disturbing the order and cleanliness of the environment. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach to describe the current condition of the Kerabut market and the potential benefits of relocation. Economic feasibility analysis using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit/Cost Ratio, and Payback Period methods will be applied to measure the effectiveness of the investment in the new market development. The results of this study are expected to provide comprehensive recommendations regarding the Kerabut market relocation plan, so as to improve efficiency, safety, and convenience for traders.

This research aims to analyze the costs, income, profits, and level of sensitivity of citronella farming in the Kalumpang Saiyo farming group in Solok City. The method used in this research is a case study. The sampling method is purposive sampling, where farmer groups are selected based on specific criteria. The data analysis used is quantitative analysis to analyze the costs incurred for activities starting from investment costs, production operations, and financial analysis used to determine whether or not farming is feasible using investment feasibility criteria, namely Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio). Sensitivity analysis is used to determine the level of business sensitivity to changes in parameters used in increasing production costs (10%, 15%, and 23.36%), decreasing benefits (10%, 15%, and 18.36%), as well as increasing production costs and reduced benefits (10% and 10.46%). The research showed that the citronella farming business that was run survived up to an increase in production costs of 23.36%. The farming business also survived up to a decrease in benefits of 18.96%. It survived up to conditions of an increase in production costs of 10.46% and a reduction of benefits of 10.46%, coinciding.

As Chat GPT rose to fame rapidly, it has drawn attention of researchers around the globe to conduct studies related to the use of Chat GPT in various sectors including education. This study aims to investigate the use of Chat GPT in ELT through reviewing numerous previous related journal articles. In this review study, the researchers collected thirty journal articles from several primary online databases, such as: ERIC, Google Scholar, Sage Pub, ProQuest, Elsevier, Academia, and Research Net. To analyze the data, the researchers performed a set of procedures, namely data selection, classification, analysis, and conclusion. The results indicate that Chat GPT is a powerful tool that potentially brings benefits yet it requires more consideration and caution to be properly and effectively implemented. In a nutshell, the role of human resources is required to remain dominant and Chat GPT is probably used as a supporting element in ELT. It is expected that this study provides fruitful insights that are highly beneficial to promote proper understanding and implementation of Chat GPT in ELT.
