Land Transportation Effects on Manufacture and Regional Economy of Sumatra of Indonesia

The study aimed to determine the effect simultaneously between land transportation and manufacturing industry on economic improvement An explanation research was conducted to obtain the causal relationship between land transportation and manufacture. The data used in this study were off secondary sources and time series data forms from 2006-2015 data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Labuhan Batu Regency. Regression analysis was applied the mathematical relationship between the output variable or dependent (Y) with one or several input / independent variables (X). The mathematical relationship is used as a regression model that is used to predict or predict the output value (Y) based on a particular input value (X). The results of this study indicated that simultaneously the land transportation variable and manufacturing industry have a positive and significant effect on the economic improvement variable. The results obtained a tcount value of 3.599. Thus tcount is greater than t table (3.241> 1.894); then H0 is rejected HA is accepted, meaning that partially there is a positive and significant influence between land transportation and economic improvement. The results obtained a tcount of 0.112. Thus tcount is greater than t table (0.112 <1.894) then H0 is accepted HA is rejected, meaning that partially there is no positive and significant influence between the manufacturing industry on economic improvement

Identification of a Disease on Cocoa Caused by Fusariumin Sulawesi

A disease presumed to be caused by Fusarium was observed in cocoa open fields with few or without shade trees. Within the population of cocoa trees in the field, some trees had died, some had yellowing leaves and dieback, and the others were apparently healthy. In order to demonstrate Fusarium species as the causal pathogen and to obtain information concerning the incidence of the disease, its distribution and its impact on sustainability of cocoa, isolation of the pathogen, inoculation of cocoa seedlings with isolates and a survey of disease has been conducted. Fusarium was isolated from roots and branches, and inoculated onto cocoa seedlings (one month old) via soil. Symptoms appeared within 3-4 weeks after infection. These symptoms consisted of yellowing of leaves beginning from the bottom until the leaves falldown, and browning internal of vascular tissue. Darkened vascular traces in the petiole characteristic of vascularstreak dieback infection were absent. The occurrence of Fusarium in the field was characterized by the absence of obvious signs of fungal infestation on root of infected trees, yellowing of leaves on twigs, dieback, and tree mortality in severe infestations. Disease incidence could reach 77% and in this situation it was difficult for trees recover from heavy infections or to be regenerated in the farm. The study proves that Fusarium is a pathogen causing dieback and the disease is called as Fusarium vascular dieback (FVD). Its development is apparently enhanced by dry conditions in the field

Sensitivity Analysis of Transportation Production Costs in Indonesia

The transportation production cost (TPC) considerably has strong influence to the national economic condition. This paper focused on the analysis of the transportation production cost sensitivity in relation to the variation of the external affecting factor, which are fuel price, rupiah exchange rate and Bank of Indonesia interest rate. Based on the R2 values, the TPC components in general have significant correlation, with the fuel prices. However, they do not have high correlation to the fluctuation of interest rate and rupiah exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis shows that a 10% rise on fuel price would cause 6%, 2%, 7%, 2.4%, and 4.9% rise on the TPC of intercity bus, ferry ship, interisland ship, train, and airline, respectively

Drama : Classical Versus Modern

This study is aimed at explaining classical drama and modern drama in general. It is also purposed to compare the differences between classical drama and modern drama. One of the most significant contrasts between classical drama and modern is the difference in the protagonists. Classical tragedy, for instance, involves royalty, the elite. The idea was that for a character to have a great and far-reaching influence over society he/she had to be in a position of great power and authority. In contrast, modern drama often uses common people as protagonists. Modern drama no longer had its heroes, heroines and villains of days gone by—the subjects of the stories were now ordinary people one might meet any day on the street

Strategi Peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (Pad) Sektor Kelautan Dan Perikanan Kabupaten Tolitoli

This type of research is descriptive analytic with the number of respondents consisted of 89 people, spread across two regions, such as, District Galang and Baolan. SWOT analysis and contribution analysis are used as analytical method. The results show that (1) there was 0,004063% contribution derived from marine and fisheries sector to locally generated revenue in 2014 which equal to USD 188.496.400 out of the target Rp 200.000.000 (2) SWOT analysis indicates that the internal condition consists of strengths and weaknesses. The capabilities factors include the strength of fishery processing, higher production of fisheries are supported by the potential for marine. In addition, Regional Regulation No. 4. 2012 on business license levy in fisheries and local regulations No. 7. 2012 on auction levy. On the other hand, the weakness factors include inadequate fishing equipments, conflict fishermen, fishing communities of limited resources, the fishery and collector levy and guidance to the fishing communities remains low. Meanwhile, the external conditions consist of opportunities and threats. Factors opportunities include local taxes and levies, the area of ​​the arrest, the potential of marine and fisheries that will not run out and support the government in improving the fishery sector and increase the locally generated revenue. Furthermore, while the threat factors include the threat of climate change to the catch, the occurrence of damage marine ecosystems and fisheries, marine potential retrieval of outsiders and marketing system are less supportive. The formulation strategy of increasing locally generated revenue of marine and fisheries sector Tolitoli located in quadrant I of the expansion strategy. This means that optimizing the power to take advantage by identifying several opportunities is important. This strategy aims to increase fish production by government assistance in accelerating marine and fisheries sector and optimising the local regulation No. 4, 2012 on fisheries business licence levies in order to increase the number of fish production by utilizing the fishing area

Produktivitas Primer di Waduk Ir.H.Juanda Kabupaten Purwakarta Propinsi Jawa Barat

Kondisi terkini produktivitas primer di perairan waduk Ir. H.Juanda Kabupaten Purwakarta menggambarkan jumlah energi cahaya yang diserap dan disimpan oleh jasad produser (fitoplankton) dalam bentuk bahan makanan (bahan organik), melalui proses fotosintesis dan kemosintesis, dalam periode waktu tertentu. Nilai produktivitas primer yang dihasilkan oleh organisme autotrof (fitoplankton) di perairan waduk ini mencapai kelimpahan dan keragaman fitoplankton. Dari hasil identifikasi dalam penelitian ini pada zona 1 dan 2, maka diperoleh data pada Zona 1 (Zona akreditasi) terdiri dari ; a) Bacillariophycea (141.352,21 ribu/liter), b) Chlorophycea (364.461 ribu/liter) c) Cyanophycea (1.1955.388/liter) d) Dinophycea (43.124,43 ribu/liter ) e) Euglenophycea (2.395,8 ribu/liter ). Zona 2 (di luar area akreditasi) kelimpahan Fitoplankton mencapai 222.810 ribu/liter. Data kelimpahan fitoplanton ini menjadi indikator produktivitas primer yang dapat dijadikan dasar untuk mengukur kemampuan daya dukung perairan (carrying capacity) terhadap kehidupan organisme konsumer dan dapat diduga pula kemampuan berfotosintesis untuk menghasilkan oksigen di siang hari. hasil pengamatan produktivitas primer paling tinggi terdapat pada stasiun 1 pada kisaran 104,16 mg C/m3/jam dan 208,33 mg C/m3/jam. Pada stasiun 2 pada kisaran -15, 625 mg C/m3/jam s.d. 72,916 mg C/m3/jam. Pada stasiun 3 -10,416 mg C/m3/jam s.d. 10,416 mg C/m3/jam, dan pada stasiun 4 pada kisaran -10,416 mg C/m3/jam s.d. 20,833 mg C/m3/jam. Kelimpahan fitoplankton tersebut dapat berpengaruh terhadap oksigen (Disolved oxygen) yang mencapai kisaran 1,87 – 8,46 ppm, pH pada kisaran 6,87 – 7,29, nitrat 0,390 – 0,815ppm dan suhu rata-rata pada kisaran stabil 28,3 – 30,6˚C. Sedangkan nitrit rata-rata kecil dan pada ambang batas yang aman pada kisaran <0,001 – 0,013ppm karena aktifitas oksidasi tinggi oleh oxygen
