The population in this study are students of class XI competence of Light Vehicle Engineering expertise amounted to 81 people and 5 teachers of mentors. Sampling technique is sample random sampling. The sample of this study amounted to 45 students and all mentoring teachers were 5 people. The data collection tool is a validated questionnaire. The results showed that industry work practices were positively and significantly related to the readiness to enter the workforce with a correlation value of 0.227 and a significance value of 0.046. This means that partially industrial work practices have a significant relationship to the readiness to enter the workforce of students of class XI competence in the expertise of Light Vehicle Engineering SMK Negeri 2 Lubuk Basung.

We quantified changes in bird assemblages at the rainforest margin of Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi, over an interval of 6 years. Standardized bird counts were conducted in the years 2001/2002 and 2008 at 15 census points representing natural forest, secondary forest, agroforest and openland sites. Although overall species richness remained nearly identical, different species groups were affected unequally by habitat modification within the forest margin landscape. The mostly endemic forest species declined in abundance (72.0% of forest species) and were detected at fewer census points in 2008 (56.0%). In contrast, 81.8% of the solely widespread openland birds became more abundant and 63.6% of the species were recorded at a larger number of census points. Hence, recent human activities in the forest margin ecotone negatively affected species of high conservation value. Species richness turned out to be a poor indicator of habitat change, and our results underline the importance of considering species identities. Biotic homogenization as result of habitat conversion is a global phenomenon. In our study, the winners were widespread openland species, while the losers were endemic forest birds. In conclusion, our study shows that 6 years of land-use change had negative impacts on bird community structure and endangered species, but not on overall bird species richness.
