New Normal becomes the way out to keep Indonesia's weakened economy because of covid-19 pandemic stays in balance. Of course, New Normal must be well-balanced with the application of strict protocols to reduce transmission rates and anticipate a surge in new cases. From a few points of pandemic protocols, using face mask is considered as the most-effective basic need. Re-designing the mask is aiming at eliminating the worsening feature and developing the improving feature. This research is developing the widely used 1-ply mask, which doesn't meet WHO standard regarding cloth-material mask that must be made in 3-ply.  The method used in this research is TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch), an inventive problem solving theory to the issues regarding ideas, products, or concepts, in this case is face mask redesigning concept. In this research, the data are collected by doing library research to obtain secondary data that will be processed in qualitative and quantitative methods. The results shows the aspects that should be eliminated from cloth-material face mask are brittle for being easily damaged, short period of usage, and non-reusable. After the redesigning concept is carried out using the principles and features of TRIZ method, some aspects such as weight, material, design, and functionality are developed. The result is a relatively light weight face mask because the using of PLA+ filament-based material with good durability and environmentally friendly. This design has longer period of usage, and user only needs to replace the additional inserted tissue every 4 hours. The researchers hope that the new design can be further developed by government to deal with New Normal and other possibilities in the future.

Small- and medium Micro Enterprises (SMME) of fish processing in Ambon City play an important role in employment and income, but identified that the enterprises deal with developing problems. The objectives of this research are to identify characteristics of the micro enterprises of fish processing, to analyze financial feasibility, and to identify determinant of development of the micro enterprises of fish processing in Ambon city. Primary data were gathered from six micro enterprise units of fish processing using survey technique, while secondary data were obtained from official publications. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. The results show that the micro enterprises of the fish processing are categorized as a small- and medium enterprise (SMME) based on the business capital, level of production, ineffectual function of institution, locally product marketing, and lack of management skill in business. Empirical results indicate the SMME of CV. Nacha and PT. Maluku Maya Mandiri are feasible to be developed. Some factors that need to be concerned in developing the SMME of fish processing in Ambon city are of capital availability, skilled worker, product promotion, and marketing strategy.

Grasses can serve as an alternative biomass for the production of bioenergy which plays a vital role in solving some of the challenges faced in the production of renewable energy and also help in tackling some of the environmental challenges faced all over the world. In this research, the phytochemical and biofuel content of Cymbopogon citratus was assessed. The phytochemical screening and proximate analysis were carried out according to standard qualitative and quantitative methods. Alkaloids, balsam, flavonoids, glycosides, saponin, carbohydrates, protein, volatile oil, minerals are analyzed. Bioenergy was produced using enzymatic hydrolysis after pretreatment under different pH viz: pH 5, pH 7 and pH 8 all under an ambient temperature of 36˚C. Each of the pretreated samples of varying pH was then fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each of the pre-treatment under three different pH was made in triplicate. The absorbance was determined for reducing sugar and at the end of the production, the pretreated samples were subjected to Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy to analyze the end product of bioenergy produced. The result for phytochemicals shows the presence of flavonoids and alkaloids (1.60%) followed by volatile oil (7%), saponin (3.20%) and tannins (0.6%). The result for proximate analysis shows that lemon grass has the highest percentage of carbohydrates (87.63%). This was followed by ash (11.67%), protein (11.14%) and fibres (2.83%). However, the mineral analysis shows the presence of Calcium (1.88 mg/ml), Magnesium (0.13 mg/ml), Phosphorous (5.87 mg/ml), Potassium (2866.67 mg/ml) and Sodium (89.17 mg/ml). The absorbance in C. citratus is higher at pH 5 (0.0651). The GC-MS analysis of the bioenergy produced shows the presence of Ethyl alcohol (bioethanol) in all the samples at different pH. Hydrazine carboxamide was present in all the treatments under different pH. In addition glycidol, acetyldehyde, acetic acid, 1,2-propanediamine were found present, having fuel potential and are good source of gasoline. These are produced as a result of fermentation and enzymatic activities of the organic compound present in the biomass sample used.

The research implies that in EFL learning there are some differences in the attitudes towards error correction shown by linguistic and non-linguistic university students. Supposedly, they are caused by the purpose of EFL acquisition – to achieve language proficiency and accuracy or to develop communication and interaction skills. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods is used in the research paper to experimentally and theoretically justify these differences. The necessary data were collected with the help of the questionnaire specially designed for the research. The study concludes that the future profession of the respondents greatly influences their attitude towards error correction. Future EFL teachers are more open and eager to being corrected while non-linguistic respondents do not like it, though they recognize its importance. Other differences include benefits that error correction can bring, remembering of errors, analysis of the errors made in the written speech. The knowledge of students’ different attitudes towards error correction can help teachers choose the most appropriate EFL teaching methods. Hence, a set of general and specific recommendations for EFL teachers working with linguistic and non-linguistic university students has been worked out on the basis of the obtained research results.
