Water Use Efficiency in Rice Cultivar Inpago 7 in The Context of Searching for Drought Tolerant for Indonesia’s National Food Security

Rice is a staple food source in Indonesia, but its production is declining due to drought stress that can hinder its growth and development. Therefore, it is necessary to identify rice varieties resistant to drought stress. This research aims to determine the efficiency of water use in the Inpago 7 rice cultivar. This research uses the method of measuring relative water content. The measurement of relative water content is done by weighing the fresh weight, turgid weight, and dry weight. The samples used are the leaves of the Inpago 7 rice cultivar and Inpago 5 rice cultivar as a positive control, with each sample undergoing two repetitions. Each leaf sample is weighed to obtain the fresh weight, and then distilled water is added and left at room temperature for 24 hours. The leaves are weighed again to obtain the turgid weight. The leaves were dried at a temperature of 60°C for 24 hours, and then the dry weight was measured. The data obtained is then correlated with the physiological responses of the leaves from each sample. The relative water content in the Inpago 5 rice cultivar is lower than the relative water content in the Inpago 7 rice cultivar and has a negative correlation with the physiological response of the leaves. The efficiency of water use in the Inpago 7 rice cultivar can be a candidate for a plant breeding program that is resistant to drought stress, which can support Indonesia's national food security

Strengthening institutional capacity and embracing inclusive policies are essential for ensuring long-term security, stability, and sustainability in an increasingly interconnected world

Indigenous Land Philosophy as a Foundation for Patriotic Character: Lessons from Indonesia's Cultural Heritage

The land philosophy embraced by indigenous communities fundamentally represents a microcosm of patriotic character. When discussing ancestral land philosophy, indigenous communities demonstrate profound reverence for inherited land, perceiving it as a living entity or maternal figure that embodies values of loyalty and filial piety. This perspective fosters responsible attitudes toward environmental conservation, as land is viewed as a living being that requires protection. Indigenous land philosophy places strong emphasis on intergenerational responsibility to preserve land for future descendants. This aligns with efforts to maintain national cultural heritage through the preservation of ancestral land values. The concept of communal land ownership within indigenous communities also reflects values of unity and mutual cooperation that form the foundation of communal life. The profound connection to homeland represents a shared emphasis in both indigenous land philosophy and patriotic spirit. Indonesia's independence struggle history has demonstrated how threats to ancestral land sovereignty can ignite patriotic resistance. This study utilizes qualitative literature review with systematic content analysis. Data was collected from academic sources including books and journal articles relevant to the research topic, This reflects a holistic approach to national loyalty and identity, where connection to land transcends physical boundaries to include spiritual and cultural dimensions, forming a robust foundation for authentic and sustainable love of country. The indigenous perspective on land thus provides valuable insights into how traditional wisdom can inform and enrich contemporary understandings of patriotism and national identity

Blue Ocean Leadership as a Transformational Strategy in Addressing Educational Challenges in Indonesia's Border Regions

Indonesia's geographically challenging frontier regions. As border areas face unique educational challenges, including infrastructure limitations, teacher shortages, and cultural complexity, conventional leadership approaches often prove insufficient. Blue Ocean Leadership is a strategy that focuses on unlocking the untapped talent and motivation of employees by shifting leadership actions from traditional, competitive approaches to those that create value and inspire engagement. Drawing on blue ocean strategy principles and adaptive leadership frameworks, this research investigates how educational leaders in Indonesian border regions create uncontested leadership spaces while adapting to local contexts. Through narrative analysis of twenty-five in-depth interviews with educational leaders across five border provinces, this study identifies four transformative leadership patterns: context-sensitive innovation, cross-border collaborative networks, cultural integration in pedagogical approaches, and technology-enabled resilience. The findings reveal how adaptive leadership creates value through both structural improvements and cultural-pedagogical innovations. This research contributes to educational leadership literature by demonstrating how blue ocean leadership principles can be contextually adapted to address the distinctive challenges of border education management while building regional resilience. The study provides actionable insights for educational policymakers and practitioners in similar geopolitically complex regions worldwide

The Effect of Electric Current in Hard Chrome Plating Process on the Corrosion Rate of SS400 Low Carbon Steel Plate for Warships

Hard chrome plating is a technique used to protect metal from the effects of corrosion caused by the surrounding environment. The basic principle of the hard chrome plating process on metal is the reduction of chrome ions, resulting in chrome deposition on the cathode, following the principle of electrolysis. Electric current is one factor determining the quality of electroplating results. The immersion test is a correction factor for electroplating results to obtain corrosion rate values. This research used an experimental method involving one independent variable: electric current with current variations of 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A, and 1 sample without chrome coating. In contrast, the dependent variable observed was the corrosion rate resulting from hard chrome plating. And without hard chrome plating. The controlled variable in this study was the length of soaking time for 7 days. The corrosive solution used is sodium chloride (NaCl), with a concentration of 3.5%. The research results show that the electric current resulting from hard chrome plating on SS400 steel significantly affects the results of the immersion test or corrosion rate test

Enhancing Food Security: Chlorophyll B Content in Several Rice Genotypes as an Indicator of Drought Stress Tolerance

Drought stress poses a major challenge in rice cultivation, particularly in dryland areas, as it inhibits plant growth and significantly reduces yield. Rice plants that are not drought-tolerant often suffer damage during critical growth phases, necessitating the development of rice varieties that possess resilience to drought stress to ensure food security. This study aims to identify rice genotypes with the highest chlorophyll B content, which may be more resistant to drought conditions, allowing them to be developed as superior varieties in water-scarce areas. The experiment involved measuring the highest chlorophyll B content in each test plant with three replications. Subsequently, the data were correlated with physiological traits such as leaf length, leaf count, and root length. We found that the highest chlorophyll B content was observed in the Inpago 5 rice variety, which positively correlated with leaf length, leaf width, and plant height. Therefore, chlorophyll B content can be used as an indicator of drought stress resistance in rice.
