This study entitled Business Contribution of Seaweed Cultivation in Expanding Employment and Improving Community Welfare in Pangkajene and Islands Districts. The formulation of the problem raised is how the contribution of seaweed cultivation in the Pangkajene and Islands Regency in order to expand employment and improve community welfare and what factors hinder seaweed cultivation in Pangkajene and Islands Districts. This research use desciptive qualitative approach. The results showed that the contribution of seaweed cultivation in Pangkajene and Islands Regency was based on the findings that seaweed farming could improve the welfare of the community in the Pangkajene and Islands regencies. So that the utilization of seaweed in Pangkajen district can then be developed towards the commercial sector to be exported and traded as raw material for the manufacture of agar-agar or carrageenan. Factors that hamper seaweed cultivation in Pangkajene and Kepulauan Regency are related to providing business financing and business capital and natural factors because seaweed cultivation depends on seasons and inadequate seeds, so that seeds and capital are needed so that seaweed cultivation can be developed.Keywords: contribution, seaweed cultivation, community welfare

Faktor-faktor Sosial Ekonomi Yang Mempengaruhi Adopsi Teknologi Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu Padi Sawah Di Sulawesi Tenggara

Social Economic Factors that Influence the Adoption of Rice Integrated Crop Managemen in Southeast Sulawesi. The implementation program of Integrated Crop Management (ICM) for paddy is a one government effort to enhance production and productivity of paddy to reach a sustainable self sufficient. The research was conducted to know the influencing of adoption factors of ICM technology and impact of ICM technology to enhancing farmer income. The research was conducted in February until May 2011 at Konawe Regency with survey method using 60 farmers that was choosed purposive random sampling based on participating farmer in ICM FFS. The data was analyzed with degree of adoption, linear regression, revenue analysis, losses and gain analysis and descriptive analysis. The result of research showed that the adoption of paddy ICM technology in Konawe District still medium. Several technologies that still low in degree of adoption such as fertilize technology and pest desease management, but new varieties and harvest and post harvest technology have high degree of adoption. The factors that have significant influence for ICM technology adoption are formal education, farmer experience, wide area, number of household labour, farmer income and finance institution support. Changing technology with ICM technology gave positive impact on farmer income that was indicated by MBCR value around 1.162. For the next, increasing ICM technology adoption through FFS should be continuing as a effort to increase the implementation of ICM technology and farmer income.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor sosial ekonomi yang mempengaruhi adopsi teknologi PTT padi sawah dan dampaknya terhadap pendapatan petani. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari hingga Mei 2011 di Kabupaten Konawe dengan menggunakan metode survey terhadap 60 orang responden yang ditentukan secara purposive random sampling berdasarkan keterlibatannya sebagai pelaksana SL-PTT. Data dianalisis dengan analisis adopsi, regresi linear berganda, pendapatan, losses and gain dan deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat adopsi teknologi PTT padi sawah termasuk kategori adopsi sedang. Adopsi teknologi PTT padi sawah yang masih rendah terjadi pada pemupukan dan pengendalian OPT berdasarkan PHT, sementara adopsi yang tinggi terjadi pada penggunaan varietas unggul dan penerapan teknologi panen. Faktor-faktor sosial ekonomi yang berpengaruh nyata terhadap adopsi teknologi padi sawah adalah pendidikan formal, pengalaman berusahatani, luas lahan garapan, jumlah tenaga kerja keluarga, pendapatan USAhatani dan dukungan pembiayaan. Perubahan teknologi melalui pelaksanaan SL-PTT berdampak positif terhadap pendapatan USAhatani yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai MBCR sebesar 1,612. Ke depan peningkatan adopsi teknologi PTT melalui pendekatan SL perlu terus dilaksanakan dalam upaya peningkatan penerapan teknologi PTT padi sawah yang pada akkhirnya akan meningkatkan pendapatan petani.

Effects of Packing Densities in Plastic Bags on Survival of Larvae and Fry of Helostoma temmincki (C&V)

Helostoma temmincki (C&V) larvae measuring 4.6 ± 0.6 mm total length were packed in plastic bags with oxygen at stocking densities of 0, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500/liter. Fry measuring 2. 0 cm ± 0.2 were similarly packed at densities of 0, 125, 250, 500 and 750/litre. The fish were observed for mortality 10 minutes, 24 hours and 48 hours after packing. The water quality parameters - temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia-N, dissolved carbon dioxide, pH and alkalinity - were determined at 0 hours for control bags only and for all bags at 48 hours after packing. There was no mortality in all bags 10 minutes after packing. After 24 hours, mortality of larvae packed at 500, 1000 and 1500/litre was less than 2% whereas no mortality was observed in the bags with fry. At 48 hours, mortalities of larvae were similar (P > 0.05) in all bags and were less than 2%. Mortalities of fry packed at 125, 250 and 500/litre were similar (P> 0.05) and less than 2%, whereas mortality of fry packed at 750/litre was significantly different (P < 0.05)

Evaluation of the detection techniques of toxigenic Aspergillus isolates

Aflatoxins are difuranocoumarin derivatives produced by some Aspergillus species through a polyketide pathway. Mycotoxins are considered hazardous and there is a need for accurate detection of each toxin. Several screening methods for direct visual determination of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A (OTA) production have been reported. These methods rely on using different types of coconut culture media, methylated â-cyclodextrin and ammonium hydroxide vapour tests. However, our results showed that use of these  techniques were not sufficiently sensitive for all Aspergillus species and suggested a simple thin layer  chromatography (TLC) as a sensitive and reliable technique for detection of aflatoxins and OTA produced by Aspergillus and Eurotium species.Key words: Aspergillus, Eurotium, Mycotoxins detection, thin layer chromatography

Studies of monomer impregnation and polymerised in situ in wood using dynamic mechanical thermal analyser.

Ten tropical hardwoods are impregnated with methyl methacrylate and polymerised in‐situ by use of catalysts and heat techniques. Treatability of the wood, as determined from the fractional volumetric retentions of monomers that are a fraction of voids filled by the impregnant, showed that the mean retention range from 15·03% (Acacia Mangium) to 56·59% (Cratoxylum Arborescens). The penetration of the monomer evaluated using ultrasonic waves showed that the treated wood had higher velocities which indicated significant increase in density. The present paper deals with the viscoelastic relaxation of polymerised treated wood. The efficiency of the monomer as a plasticiser is studied through the temperature dependence of the storage modulus (E′) and loss tangent (tan δ) of treated and untreated wood by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) over a temperature in the range from −100 to 200°C. The storage modulus E′ decreased with temperature and as the maximum mechanical damping developed, the glass transition temperature (T g) of the plasticised wood decreased with the plasticiser content
