The contribution biplot is widely applied to any method based on the singular value decomposition, included correspondence analysis. This plot provides a simple graphical representation of the important contributors to the correspondence analysis solution. In this paper, we used the contribution biplot to analyze the floricultural crops in West Java. Since geographical aspects influence floricultural crops production, we focus on the associations between floricultural crop varieties based on areas in West Java divided into five Sentra regencies. The result shows that orchid production is the most important category in analysis, pulling apart the different Sentra regencies based on the floricultural crops varieties. Rose production is the second important contributor associated strongly with West-Bandung, and tuberose production contributes strongly to Sukabumi and Cianjur. Chrysanthemum production is the least important contributor whose coordinates tend to be drawn closer to the origin. Overall, the Sentra regency of floricultural crops in West Java is dominated by cool and cold air areas. It is because the nature of these plants requires a cool and cold climate for growth. These results provide information on business opportunities for the local government and floricultural businesses to develop a strategic marketing plan for floricultural crops in West Java. Thus, the production of floricultural plants in West Java will support the national economy, especially in increasing competitiveness for acceptance by international and domestic markets.

This paper discusses a need analysis and conceptual design of a drone of quadcopters type with the specific purpose of detecting radioactive radiation in difficult-to-reach locations by humans and places that have a potential for radioactive contam-ination. This paper will describe the process of quadcopter design from need analysis up to conceptual design, which covers a comparative study, empirical calculation, 3D rough design, and determination of component and sub-component. This quadcopter design is built to carry sensors are weighed around 1 kilogram and have to fly for around 1 hour. The benchmark guidance is from the competitors that have the mutual capability. After the benchmark and design requirement is already known, the rough design can be produced, and the performance estimation and calculation are conducted. This design can carry the desired payload, but on the other hand, from the performance estimation using empirical calculation is found out that the flight time does not fulfill the requirement because of the limitation of the component. The component availability in the domestic market is our base limitation in this design. Other alternatives include adding up a backup battery to make the drone last for a complete 1 hour, or the user could hover with low and stabilized thrust, so the power used by the motor is decreasing. The flight time could reach the desired time. The numbers in this papers are the estimation calculation; therefore, it needs a prototype simulation to ensure the actual performance of the quadcopter.

The export specialization of Russian railway engineering in the context of federal districts and individual product positions for 2018-2020 was analyzed by calculating the conditional export capacity per piece of production. An inter-district comparison was made within each product position. The analysis made it possible to compare the development of production and exports before and during the pandemic and to compare the work of production for domestic and for external markets. The analysis also found cases of similar and distinct statistics of federal districts. The analysis has shown, that for most product positions, either there are districts whose specific export capacity has a comparable value, or districts can be grouped by export capacity values.

The article discusses the prospects for the development of piggyback transportation on domestic railways. The authors study the multimodal technology of piggyback transportation, new for Russia, the experience of its development on domestic railways, analyze its potential opportunities for the Russian transport infrastructure and existing obstacles to its development. The existing experience shows that in order to carry out its activities in the segment of the transport market, which can provide the high priority choice of vehicles, the railway carrier needs to develop mixed - multimodal transportation (road-rail). One of the areas of cooperation is the development of piggyback transportation. For ideal functioning of the piggyback transportation system, it is necessary to create conditions on domestic railways under which the work of all participants in the logistics chain – carriers, cargo owners, logistics intermediaries - will be optimized. For a railway carrier, the development of piggyback transportation is beneficial due to increasing the volume of transportation and, accordingly, due to obtaining additional profit, while for automobile carriers and cargo owners who previously used the services of road transport, this project will be interesting only if the cost of cargo delivery is reduced. The organization of regular piggyback transportation on Russian railways is a promising direction for the development of the transport and logistics services market. Currently, there is every reason to believe that the domestic transport complex is ready for the development of intermodal, piggyback transportation as an example of interaction between a railway and an automobile carrier.

Krakatau Steel, the largest steel producer in Indonesia, has been in loss for several years. One of the reasons is the flow of imported steel to the domestic market. In 2010, Krakatau Steel filed an anti-dumping petition against several countries. The petition was followed up with the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation by the Anti-Dumping Committee of Indonesia (KADI) since June 2011 and applying the anti-dumping policy for CRC/S product from 2013 to 2016. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the impact due to the policy application using the ARIMA Multi- Input Intervention method for three-step functions. The study shows that the initiation of an investigation by KADI had not been able to decrease import. Still, the import itself was declining during the time the policy was applied. The application of the anti-dumping policy starting to affect import from South Korea in May 2013, which decrease by 59.93%, from China in April 2013 decrease by 89.37%, and from Taiwan decreased by 80% in August 2013. Moreover, the Krakatau Steel market share was also increased during the time the policy was applied. However, imports started increasing, and the market share decreased once the policy was no longer applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the interaction between international and domestic financial markets increases, the interaction between gold market and financial markets also increases. Today, the financial attributes of gold play a more evidence role in dominating the gold price. Taking into account time-varying and dynamic properties of volatility spillover effect in the financial markets, this paper investigates the time-varying volatility relationship between gold markets and U.S. dollar by using the bivariate-BEKK. This paper also investigate whether gold volatility is significantly affected by its own prefluctuations, its aggregation and lasting properties, and the bi-directional volatility spillover between the gold market and U.S. dollar.
