Smart farming (SF) is a relatively new concept referring to the use of information and communication technology in farm management, focusing simultaneously on productivity, profitability, and conservation of natural resources. However, despite the benefits, the adoption rate of some SF technologies has not been uniform in some countries. The aim of this paper was to identify the barriers and determining factors influencing the decisions of grain farmers regarding adopting SF technologies. A sample of farmers in southern Brazil (n=119) was analyzed through descriptive analysis, Logit and Poisson models. The results showed there was no strict pattern in farmers’ profile, especially in terms of socioeconomic characteristics, to explain the adoption of SF technologies as a package. Adoption of some technologies requires more years of education and knowledge about how technology works, other technologies demand more scale. Broadly speaking, SF requires farmers to be open and receptive to this concept of agriculture.

The development of information and communication technology in the 21st century developed so fast. Therefore, various life skills are needed to be able to keep pace with the rapid development of technology. One of them is creative thinking skills. The skill of creative thinking can be cultivated through local potential physics-based learning. This study aims to determine whether there is an increase in creative thinking skills of students who conduct local potential based learning. The research method used was quasi experiment. The instruments used were tests and observation sheets. Data analysis used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that there is an increase in creative thinking skills of students who conducted physics learning based on local potential of 0.15975 in the low category.

Today the internet has dramatically influenced business behavior by offering the opportunity to sell products of daily necessities directly to customers. In its development, the use of this technology sometimes tends to lead to negative things as well. One of them is the factual case of selling fake stamps on the Tokopedia digital platform. Based on this background, this research will discuss; First, regarding the legal qualifications of selling fake stamps on the Tokopedia digital platform. Second, related to the responsibilities of sellers and platforms regarding the sale of fake stamps on the Tokopedia digital marketplace. Both are based on the ITE Law and the Stamp Duty Law. This study used a normative juridical approach based on a law that is conceptualized as a rule or norm that becomes the benchmark for human behavior. The research specification used is descriptive analysis research specification. The data used is in the form of secondary data by reviewing literature and laws and regulations related to the sale of fake stamps and their correlation with the law of information technology and electronic transactions and stamp duty. By offering fake stamps on marketplace platforms, merchants, and e-commerce providers, namely the marketplace platform, are in effect breaking the law. Through the existing criminal law provisions, the seller/perpetrator must be held accountable for his mistake in accordance with the applicable sanctions. From the platform side, the various obligations that Tokopedia does not carry out in buying and selling activities cause problems, including the circulation of illegal goods on the platform, so that Tokopedia is obliged to be responsible.Keywords: E-Commerce; Platform; Information and communication technology; Stamp Duty.

The 21st century is a period of rapid development of information and communication technology. Therefore, various life skills and living values are needed to balance them. One of the living values that is really needed is the synergistic work that can be grown through local potential physics-based learning. This study aims to determine whether there is an increase in student synergistic work through local potential physics-based learning. The research method that will be used is a quasi experiment. The instruments were observation sheets and questionnaires. Data analysis used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that there was an increase in synergistic work of students who conducted physics learning based on local potential of 0.52381 with the medium category
