Lombok is a tourist destination that presents interesting diversity for tourists. During its development, Lombok has applied the concept of halal tourism which includes services, serving halal food, spiritual needs, communication, and other matters related to ha lal branding. This study focuses on informants' perceptions of the relationship between tourism index, experience quality, and revisit intention of tourist destinations in Lombok. The study was conducted by surveying 87 tourists who came from Indonesia, specifically Muslims, those who have stayed in Lombok and have visited at least in the last 24 months. The most suitable informant unit in the sample is purposive. We use the PLS analysis model to simplify data processing. The findings of the study are divided into 3 hypotheses which explain that the season index has a significant effect on experience quality. Furthermore, experience quality has a significant effect on revisit intention, and the tourism index has no significant effect on revisit intention. The novelty of this study lies in the uniqueness of the object, analysis model, and variables that have been designed so that it is very interesting in its presentation and is a distinct difference from other studies.

Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) research reveals that corruption in Indonesia is mostly carried out by civil servants. An audit report from the Indonesian Supreme Audit Institution also finds local government internal control systems' weaknesses, especially controlling budget execution. This phenomenon is inseparable from the budget actors' decision-making process when preparing a budget. Budget decision making is a crucial process. Budget actors use their preference to choose among priorities and put the programs and activities which they have chosen into the budget. Social exchange such as trust and social ties can restrain budget actor distortion when making a budget decision and improve local government performance. Cultural context, in this research, refers to high context, affects individual behavior, and may influence the budget decision-making process. The result shows that decision making mediates trust and context culture to local government performance. Trust also proven can improve local government performance. Social ties, on the other side, do not have an influence both on decision making and local government performance. When trust has been intertwined among members, social ties no longer have a role in social exchange. Trust is the strongest form of social relation. Trust in this research is also formed because of the figure. A figure holds an important role in high context culture. This research pointed out that decision making by considering social values can make the decision-making process better and even improve local government performance.

Rice is a staple food for most Indonesian population. Nowadays, people want staple foods that are not only filling but also do not increase blood sugar concentration (low glycemic index). One of foods that contain higher starch, lower glycemic index, and higher fiber than rice is white corn. The white color of the corn is an advantage because if it is made in grits it can resemble rice. Weakness of white corn is harder than rice. To soften and make it easier to consume, it is coated with an edible packaging made from tapioca. The purposes of this study were to study (1) the quality of dried corn rice from local white corn Anoman 1 variety in edible packaging with packaging thickness of 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.5 mm; (2) the quality of cooked white corn rice produced. The results showed that the thickness of the edible packaging significantly affected (1) the moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate contents of dried white corn rice and (2) all parameters of cooked white corn rice ( = 0.05). The best cooked corn rice based on the stickiness test was found in coated dried corn rice with edible packaging with a thickness of 1.5 mm. Characteristics of (1) dried white corn rice contained 11.39% water, 0.21% db ash, 15.23% db protein, 0.53% db fat, 72.64% carbohydrates, 2.11% crude fiber, (2) the quality of cooked of white corn rice were 18.17 g / mm2 stickiness, yellowish color (score 1.1), slightly distinctive aroma of corn (score 2.5), slightly fluffier texture (score 3.4), and rather strong sweet taste (score 2.8).

This study aims to see whether e-learning has an effect on the progress of students' speaking skill and know the process of students' speaking skill in e-learning. This research uses quantitative methods with a descriptive approach. The study population was SMP Pencawan Medan with a sample of seventh grade of junior high school students. The data was collected by first explaining the recorded material orally through the WhatsApp group which contained 20 students and after that the students collected the audio of their voice by recording. The results of this study indicate that in seventh grade student s at SMP PENCAWAN MEDAN who can understand 20 students who have experienced a decreasing in speaking during face to face leaning before pandemic than e-learning from the score table during the pandemic, from the table of score during the pandemic, there were 2 students with excellent categories, no students with nice category, 8 students with the sufficient categories and 10 students with the not satisfactory categories. The researchers find some problems, namely in pronunciation, fluently, vocabulary and accuracy. When in e-learning process, students become embarrassed to speak and become lazy to speak English, then there is a decreasing in vocabulary, a decreasing in pronunciation and a decreasing in students' speaking fluency and accuracy. Keywords: E-learning; speaking skills; progress.

Teori optimisai merupakan salah satu disiplin ilmu matematika yang banyak diterapkan dalam dunia nyata. Hampir semua masalah optimisasi di dunia nyata memiliki banyak fungsi objektif (multiobjektive) yang harus dipenuhi secara simultan dan seringkali fungsi-fungsi tersebut saling bertentangan. Permasalahan optimisasi yang ada dapat berbentuk linier dan non linier. Penelitian ini akan membahas secara teoritis mengenai permasalahaan multiobjektif nonlinear. Solusi optimal dari masalah tersebut tidak akan didapatkan solusi optimum tunggal, tapi berupa kumpulan solusi alternatif. Kumpulan solusi tersebut disebut himpunan Pareto optimal atau Pareto front. Himpunan Pareto optimal tersebut berkorespondensi dengan Pareto-optimal front. Jika Pareto-optimal front tersebut konveks, maka solusi masalah ini dapat diselesaikan dengan metode pembobotan (weighted sum method).
