To find out the traffic flow that passes through Surapati Street, a study was carried out using a movement generation model. The generation model uses the multiple regression analysis methods with the generated variable being the number of vehicles (Y) and the variables that influence it are the population (X1), the number of domestic tourists (X2), and the value of gross regional domestic income (X3) in Bandung. The data was obtained through the publication of the Bandung City BPS from 2012 to 2021 (10 years). Using the data analyst feature in Microsoft Excel, the regression equation is found to be Y = -7,003,565.898 + 3.213 X1 + 0.142 X2 and the growth value of traffic movement is at 2.39% per year.

One type of pathogenic mold that destroys cocoa fruit is Aspergillus flavus. A. flavus produces aflatoxin B1 which is the most potent hepatotoxin and carcinogen to humans. Amongst the most effective ways to avoid alpha-toxin contamination in cocoa beans is to inhibit the growth of A. flavus in the beans. However, the use of pesticides and fungicides can increase the development of resistant strains of fungi and have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Therefore, we need other alternatives such as bio-control agents using antagonistic microorganisms, including yeasts. Thus, this study aims to characterize yeasts isolated from the fermented cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao) from Lampung, Indonesia, and evaluate their ability to inhibit the growth of Aspergillus flavus UNJCCF-55. The methods used were yeast screening, dual culture technique for antagonistic test, and morphological characterization. The 37ºC-growth screening gave 89 out of 98 yeast isolates. The subsequent antagonist test resulted in 13 isolates with the highest inhibition zone against A. flavus UNJCCF-55. These yeast isolates were macroscopically of smooth surface, butyrous texture, milky white color, irregular edges, and convex elevation.

But in reality, not all of the tested data meet the normal distribution. One of the theoretical distributions of continuous random variables that is often used is the Weibull distribution, where the Weibull distribution is a distribution that is often used to analyze the reliability of an object. If there are two response variables that are correlated with each other, the appropriate method used is Bivariate Weibull Regression (BWR). Spatial data has been widely used in various research fields. The Geographically Weighted Bivariate Weibull Regression (GWBWR) model is a model in which there are spatial effects, where there is spatial heterogeneity in bivariate regression with the response variable being Weibull distribution. In addition, panel data has also been applied in various cases, where panel data can provide information covering more than one time period. This can lead to a temporal effect. This study develops a model that can handle cases of spatial and temporal heterogeneity simultaneously, namely the Geographically and Temporally Weighted Bivariate Weibull Regression (GTWBWR) model.

Pathogenic molds secrete phytopathogenic toxins which cause rotting, seriously damaging the cocoa fruits. The common pathogenic molds found in damaged cocoa beans are Phytophthora palmivora and Phytophthora megakarya. These molds are so far controlled by using chemical pesticides, whose long-term use is potentially harmful to human health and the environment. Thus, a healthier and safer alternative is needed, especially using biological agents such as yeasts. Some yeasts produce cellulose-degrading enzymes that can possibly break down the fungal cell wall which is composed mostly of the polysaccharide’s chitin and glucan. In this study, yeasts were isolated during the cocoa fermentation process, followed by screening for cellulolytic activity using direct planting and paste method, and subsequent antagonistic testing by double culture technique.

The production process of pia saronde is one of the problems that can be analyzed using max-plus algebra. The production process of this product is sequentially carried out by making skin dough, filling, baking, cooling, and packaging the pia. The max-plus algebra theory was used in this research to determine the optimal time in the production scheduling of pia saronde. Meanwhile, the Invarian Max-plus Linear System (IMLS), max-plus algebraic theory, and the Discrete Event System (DES) were used to solve the production-related problems. IMLS analysis produces eigenvalues that represent the optimum production time. The results obtained the max-plus algebra model of x(k+1)=A x(k), where A =A⊕B⊗C and y=K⊗x_0⊕H⊗u for input-output IMLS analysis.
