The tendency of consumers in shopping for furniture is very different from shopping for other goods or services, because furniture is expected to be stored and used in a long time. Considering that, consumers tend to want to shop directly to offline stores in order to see, feel and check quality directly because of many aspects that are assessed such as the quality of materials, models, colors and more. Behind the trend to shop furniture offline, IKEA continues to innovate to improve the performance of its website so that consumers can shop online. Therefore, this study intends to analyze what factors are driving consumers in shopping for furniture online especially on the website of IKEA Indonesia. From two grounded theory employed on this research, there are 14 factors that can influence consumers to buy online. This data analysis uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a factor analysis method that extracts factors by using total variance in the analysis. From data calculation, it is known that there are 8 driving factors of consumer to purchase furniture online on IKEA Indonesia’s website: Enjoyment, Perceived Risk, Efficiency, Service & Merchandise Quality, Ease of Navigation, Price Attractiveness, Flexibility and Reliability. By knowing what factors can affect consumers in doing online shopping for furniture, companies in this case IKEA Indonesia can optimize the use of its website in accordance with influential factors.

Policies related to the automotive industry have become significant for the Ministry of Industry. The problem in determining these policies is the determination of important factors for the automotive industry so that the policies formulated are right on target. The search for these important factors can be done by using the factor analysis method. So far, no studies have been conducted to examine the factors that influence the growth of the automotive industry. In this study, factor analysis is performed on factors in the automotive industry using the principal component analysis algorithm. The algorithm seeks to describe independently the aspects that become the main factors in determining the automotive industry. Based on an analysis of factors in the automotive industry production, the most influential factors are foreign investment, vehicle ownership ratios, and at last the change in GDP.

A commercial electronic tongue (ET) with specific sensors was applied on taste distinction and physicochemical characterization of seven kinds of sweet sauces. The response signals of ET sensors were analyzed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Factor Analysis (DFA). Meanwhile, these signals were transformed into the four relative taste scores (sourness, saltiness, umami and sweetness) by macro operation, followed by comparing with the corresponding four physiochemical indexes (total acids, sodium chloride, amino nitrogen and reducing sugars) which were determined by the methods in GB/T. The results show that ET can be used to distinguish different kinds of sweet sauces according to overall taste. Moreover, the intensity order of taste scores that obtained from ET is basically matched with the sequence of the corresponding physicochemical indexes, which proves that ET technique can be an effective approach to monitor and guarantee the quality of sweet sauce on line.

Education is very important in achieving the ideals of the nation to improve the quality of human resources as well. Curriculum change in 2013 is one of the government's efforts in improving the quality of education in Indonesia. To improve students' learning achievement, internal and external factors are needed to encourage students to keep their spirit in learning. In this study, the researcher took a case about factor analysis in improving the achievement of the students of class X IPS of SMA Negeri 1 Adonara Timur. Achievement of study in SMA Negeri 1 Adonara East class X particularly good, although there are achievement of learning in class X IPS is often low. This study aims to determine what factors are formed in improving student achievement class X IPS in SMA Negeri 1 Adonara Timur. The data used in this study is the primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires, with a sample of 47 students. The analysis method used in this research is factor analysis. Factor analysis is one of the statistical techniques that can be used to provide a relatively simple description through the reduction of the number of variables called factors. Since the purpose of factor. Pendidikan merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam mencapai cita-cita bangsa sehingga  meningkatkan Sumber Daya Manusia yang berkualitas. Perubahan Kurikulum pada tahun 2013 merupakan upaya pemerintah dalam meningkatkatkan kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia yang diketahui berdasarkan prestasi belajar siswa. Untuk meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa, diperlukan faktor intern dan faktor ekstern yang mendorong siswa untuk tetap semangat dalam belajar. Prestasi belajar di SMA Negeri 1 Adonara Timur khususnya kelas X tergolong baik, Namun, prestasi belajar pada kelas X IPS seringkali rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor apa saja yang terbentuk dalam meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa kelas X IPS di SMA Negeri 1 Adonara Timur. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer yang diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner, dengan sampel sebanyak 47 siswa. Metode analisis yag digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis faktor. Tujuan dari analisis faktor pada penelitian ini adalah untuk mereduksi data maka metode analisis faktor yang digunakan adalah Principal Component Analysis   (PCA). Hasil dari penelitian ini diperoleh 5 faktor yang diduga dapat meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa kelas X IPS di SMA Negeri 1 Adonara Timur. Faktor-faktor tersebut adalah Lingkungan Sekolah, Peranan Orang Tua, Peranan Guru, Disilpin Belajar, dan Motivasi Belajar.

Metacognition is a higher-level cognition of identifying one’s own mental status, beliefs, and intentions. This research comprised a survey of 184 people with schizophrenia to verify the reliability of the metacognitive rating scale (MCRS) with the revised and supplemented metacognitions questionnaire (MCQ) to measure the dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs of people with schizophrenia by adding the concepts of anger and anxiety. This study analyzed the data using principal component analysis and the varimax method for exploratory factor analysis. To examine the reliability of the extracted factors, Cronbach’s α was used. According to the results, reliability was ensured for five factors: positive beliefs about worry, negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger of worry, cognitive confidence, need for control, and cognitive self-consciousness. The negative beliefs about uncontrollability and danger of worry and the need for control on anger expression, which were both added in this research, exhibited the highest correlation (r = 0.727). The results suggest that the MCRS is a reliable tool to measure the metacognition of people with schizophrenia.

Non-performance loan ratio is one of the important assessment criteria of the security of credit assets. It is also an important financial indicator to evaluate the general strength of commercial banks. Using principal component analysis method and statistical software SPSS16.0 and based on the non-performance loan ratio and relative data of some commercial banks in China in 2007, this paper provided a principal component analysis model for the non-performance loan ratio of China’s commercial banks. The factors that affect the non-performance loan ratio were refined in this paper. Finally, the characteristics of effect factors of each bank were analyzed and compared in detail.
