MY MARINE BLOG

Before I started telling the sharing session with Dr. Neill, I first discuss the questions with Dr. Neill. Anyway, my friends often see me having a virtual meeting with Dr. Neill. Then they asked me questions about life in New Zealand. Wow, very interesting ...

Incidentally, I also want to ask how life is there. Before that, I also often shared with Mr. Rama and Ms. Anti about their life in New Zealand. But I also want to ask Dr. Neill to know his perspective. 

During the sharing session. Dr.'s wife Neill (Miss Lina) was also present and sharing with me. By the way, miss Lina is also an Indonesian. So it's great to be able to share too. There are a few things that we talked about: 

The situation in New Zealand

Currently, New Zealand has seen a decrease in Covid cases. But still, civilization applies health protocols. Then Dr. Neill also suggested that in New Zealand you have to equip thick clothes. Because the conditions there are colder when compared to Indonesia. The people there are friendly too and many people come to New Zealand to living.

Cost of living

Dr. Neill and Miss Lina highly recommend preparing for living expenses if you want to live in New Zealand. If I want to study in New Zealand, I should apply for a scholarship to fulfill my life while studying. If it doesn't get fully funded, partially that's fine too.

Education

Because there are many universities there that have international standards. Not a few also people from Indonesia who live there and study in New Zealand. According to Dr. Neill education in New Zealand includes a superior program and is very feasible if you want to continue your studies in New Zealand.

Australian Accents

Often when talking to an Australian there must be a difference in pronunciation. This is because Australia also has accents not only in British and American. So don't be surprised if Talking to Australia feels different because of their accent.

Okee that was our light discussion when discussing the questions of my friends who are curious about New Zealand. Hearing this, I was also quite interested if I continued my master's studies.

Back to my final research …

In this session, Dr. Neill discusses more what statistical methods are used when doing final research. I also describe methods that can be applied and that can be drawn into conclusions. I have also discussed this method with my supervisor, namely Dr. Ir. Sri Pujiyati.

First, Linear Regression

Linear regression is a statistical method that tests variable one (X) with its independent variable. Initially, I was going to use this variable, but it turns out that my data specifications are out of sync with the linear regression method. If it is divided into several ping numbers my data will be too much if I use regression. However, if I use simplified data, only 4 data results will be achieved and this is below the minimum data. So I can't use this method

Second, T-Test

The T-test will test the data group and see the effect of the treatment given to the same subject. This method is very in sync with the current state of my data. Tilapia becomes the control variable then the bubble noise treatment will be the influence factor. However, this method still has drawbacks. Because it turns out that my data has three treatments. Meanwhile, the T-test requires only two treatments. So I can't use this method either.

Finally, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

A method that looks at the influence of research subjects who have treatment of more than two variables. This method was approved by my supervisor. I started executing and got the results of the calculations that I found from various literacies. These are the results of the data that I have tested using the ANOVA method :

H0: There is no difference in the average TS value of tilapia which is influenced by air bubbles as noise in the measurement, which means that air bubble noise does not have a significant effect on the TS value of tilapia.

H1: There is a difference in the average TS value of tilapia which is influenced by air bubbles as noise in the measurement, which means that air bubble noise does not have a significant effect on the TS value of tilapia.

One-way ANOVA test results that produce the number of squares (SS), degrees of freedom (df), average squares (MS), calculated value (F), probability value (P-value), and critical F value or F table (F crit ) with a 95% confidence interval. The calculated F value of 20.99 is greater than the F table, which is 2.99. If F count> F table then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted or significantly different. This means that there is a difference in the average TS value of tilapia which is influenced by air bubbles as noise in the measurement, which means that air bubble noise does not have a significant effect on the TS value of tilapia. Air bubble noise has been shown to affect the TS value of tilapia in acoustic measurements.

Dr. Neill asked me to submit the data and statistical analysis that I made. Because he wanted to help and was also interested in testing the results of the data I had obtained. Next will be Dr. Neill e-mailed me for the final result.

I think that's all guys, I hope we can finish our research. 

See you again

Another extraordinary opportunity came to me when I was able to do live coaching with Miss Reem, a researcher from Bahrain. You could say it seems like we have a connection and the same frequency from the point of view of life. According to my life, I have something in common, namely that I like to explore.

I knew immediately when we introduced ourselves to each other during coaching. Miss Reem looks very humble and easygoing when communicating and does a kind of presentation during coaching. Well, he is very prepared to do something. And I have to admit, only Miss Reem prepared a long presentation slide for all of us. I really appreciate it and it makes me even more enthusiastic because Miss Reem is very all out. And I really appreciate it all

Miss reem explained about Building the Foundation, Opportunity in life, and discussion

BUILDING FOUNDATION

Great people all come from zero. Starting with ourselves what we like, because small things will be big if we try our best.

The thing that was built by Miss Reem itself is very extensive and can be said to be very exploratory. First of all, I thought that Miss Reem was just a researcher marine biologist. It turns out that there are also things that Miss Reem learned outside the sea. For example studying land animals such as snakes, birds, elephants, and others. Of course, this is beyond her ability and miss reem learns new skills. But Miss Reem also didn't forget to add her own skills in her field.

This made me realize that it was fine if we wanted to learn new things, new skills, or beyond our capabilities. But still, pay attention to what is within us. I also believe I have to be responsible for the knowledge I got as an undergraduate.

OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE

Miss reem explained to us the way she grew up with various stories in Arabic. And then she explained about one of the most famous fairy tales in the world, "Aladdin" who had 3 wishes from the genie.

“In reality, there is no number of wishes. Life is limitless "

Yeah…. That; s TRUEE. I feel like I want to scream because I really agree with that statement. If we have a lot of desire it's natural and it's free. And we also have to know that the opportunities that exist in this world are endless. Miss Reem stated that there are so many opportunities in this world, whether paid or unpaid, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is the experience. Experience is what makes yourself "unique". Seeing the endless opportunities, miss reem really took advantage of it by learning what she likes in various countries (What an achievement!). Of course, I also want to be like that, and indeed studying in various countries is one of my life goals in the future.

"You will ALWAYS be the center of your World!"

DISCUSSION

HAVE YOU EVER WORRY ABOUT YOUR FUTURE?

Humans are complex creatures. So to feel worried is normal and is one of its characteristics. But…. Don't get caught up in worrying, just do it! When you are worried about a situation, then you will miss the target. Miss reem said

"If you are in the car or bicycle and not looking straight and you looking over of place around you have been worried you're gonna CRASH"

Life is like that. But that is normal. It's just how we can use that worry to become a force. Being worried can also be self-defense because you control all decisions. To reduce worry and turn it into self-defense.

Sometimes being a teenager is very busy besides that there is a lot of pressure from parents and other people. It's so stressful because Miss Reem has also experienced things like that. Then after we can solve all those things. People will always ask:

"What will you do next?"

It's important to take a "break" first. Otherwise, there will come a time when we hate our own jobs. There is such a thing as "burnout". So don't think about what other people say, think about yourself. Sometimes we also need to be selfish for some time to please ourselves.

Don't underestimate yourself.

IS IT OKAY IF I CHOOSING A DIFFERENT WAY?

Being a unique person I think you have to choose a different option. I told myself that I was tired if I kept on competing. Although in life there will always be competition. But being a unique person will have a bit of a rival, right? So to be "unique”

“Your base is scientist, no one can take that from you. You are a FOREVER scientist don't worry about that "

These words from miss Reem I will never forget in my entire life. So powerful and so touching. It seemed that this self was eagerly awaiting such words. A fact that makes me realize that the world is wide, the world can also side with me. A reassuring word that everything will be all right. All this time I was looking for defense and finally, I found that defense. Thank you Miss Reem for not judging me. This is what makes me think that Miss reem has the same frequency.

"It's about thinking and planning. Just straight to your dreaming and chasing it "

What Miss Reem said is very relevant to my life (my teenage life). I know maybe Miss Reem has also been through it. However, it was so funny that Miss Reem's words were so deep that I was even surprised, even though she used English instead of my language, Indonesian. Thank you for sharing with us Miss Reem. As a traveler, I hope I can also go to my dream country in DUBAI. Aamiin. And yes as a Muslim, my culture often says Insyaallah. God willing, I will get there and pursue my dream.
