This research showed the effect of the use of straw in increasing the production of Siam Banjar oranges. First, they completely decomposed so that increasing soil fertility. Second, reduce environmental pollution because it did not leave residues as inorganic fertilizers. Third, prevent soil erosion so that nutrients needed by oranges for grow properly could be fulfilled optimally. So, oranges did not easily attacked by pests and diseases then provide abundant harvest. The results of the differences between two values ​​could be concluded that, the benefits of orange farming was produced with straw was greater than farming without straw. Revenue Cost Ratio (RCR) value of orange farming with straw was 3.56 and the Revenue Cost Ratio (RCR) value of orange farming without straw was 3.26. Based on the RCR value, orange farming with straw was more feasible than orange farming without a straw

USAha Peningkatan Kompetensi Softskill melalui Student Centered-learning Bagi Mahasiswa yang Mengikuti Mata Kuliah Analisa Perancangan Sistem

The face to face learning process focuses on teacher-centered learning (the center of the learning activityis on the teacher or lecturer – the students just notice and listen the lecturer\u27s explanation), it is the reverse ofstudent-centered learning (students\u27 active participation). The changing of learning model from teacher-centeredapproach into student-learning center should be conducted to increase the students\u27 active participation in SystemDesign and Analysis course. The research methods to improve students\u27 softskills competency through studentcentredlearning were (a) making lecturer team who taught System Design and Analysis course (b) reviewingthe syllabus of lecturing unit (c) developing a learning model of student learning center to maximize the students\u27hardskills and to stimulate their softskills (d) conducting socialization of new revised syllabus of lecturing unitthat covered softskills competency, of which it had been validated by the university party (e) implementing thelearning process with the student-learning center approach by using syllabus of System Design and Analysiswhich covered softskills competency. By implementing the model of student learning center on System Design andAnalysis learning process, it was expected to be able to maximize the understanding of hardskills, technology foranalysis and information system design as well as to stimulate the student\u27s intrapersonal and interpersonal skills(softskills), who completed the course

ANALYSIS OF PROFIT FUNCTION AND RETURNS TO SCALE OF RICE FARMING IN TIDAL AND FRESHWATER SWAMPLANDS IN SOUTH KALIMANTAN

The purpose of this study was to estimate the production and profit function by farmers and to analyze the relative economic efficiency of rice farming in two typologies of wetland, tidal swampland and freshwater swampland. The analysis showed that the production facilities in the study area were very influential on the rice farming profit, so an increase in the high price of production facility would lead to a decrease in profit, which in turn would lower the level of farmers’ welfare. Under optimal conditions where maximum profit was reached, the effects of variable input prices and the input number remained significant except for the value of the equipment used. Based on the value of the coefficient function of fertilizer demand, pesticide and labor were inelastic towards the price while the seed input was elastic. Rice farming in the study area had decreasing returns to scale. It indicated that the increase in inputs was higher than the increase in returns
