EKSPERIMEN PEMBUATAN BIOETANOL BERBAHAN BAKU UMBI SUWEG (Amorphophallus campanulatus) SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF

ABSTRAK Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) merupakan salah satu energi dengan persentase konsumsinya terbesar dan terus mengalami peningkatan tiap tahunnya. Selain itu, dengan diiringi peningkatan kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap transportasi, mengakibatkan kelangkaan bahan bakar minyak di Indonesia. Sehingga pemerintah berupaya mencari sumber bahan bakar alternatif nonfosil yang dapat diperbarui sebagai pengganti BBM. Salah satu sumber energi alternatif tersebut yaitu bioetanol. Tumbuhan yang dapat menghasilkan bioetanol adalah tumbuhan yang memiliki kandungan karbohidrat, misalnya suweg. Suweg merupakan tanaman penghasil umbi yang berkerabat dekat dengan bunga bangkai raksasa. Umbi suweg memiliki kandungan karbohidrat sebesar 18%. Jenis penelitian ini adalah eksperimen, dengan tiga tahapan proses. Proses pertama yaitu tahap persiapan, 250 gram umbi suweg dikukus kemudian ditumbuk dan dicampur dengan 500 ml air. Proses kedua yaitu fermentasi (peragian) dengan bantuan ragi Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ragi tape) dengan variasi 4 gram, 6 gram, 8 gram dan 10 gram dan lama fermentasi selama 1 hari, 2 hari, 3 hari dan 4 hari. Hal ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan kadar bioetanol yang paling optimal. Proses terakhir distilasi, yaitu pemisahan kadar etanol dan air dengan suhu 780C. Dari rancangan penelitian, peneliti mendapatkan perbandingan parameter yang optimal yaitu jumlah umbi suweg 250 gram, jumlah air 500 ml, jumlah ragi 6 gram dan lama fermentasi 4 hari dihasilkan kadar etanol 26%. Perbandingan parameter optimal tersebut menjadikan peneliti untuk memproduksi bioetanol dalam skala besar untuk bisa diuji karakteristiknya. Perbandingan 1000 gram umbi suweg : 2000 ml air : 24 gram ragi difermentasi selama 4 hari menghasilkan 160 ml bioetanol dengan kadar 94,86% dengan tahapan distilasi bertingkat. Dan dari uji karakteristik bioetanol dari umbi suweg ini didapatkan bahwa nilai kalori 5892 Kcal/kg, flash point 180C, pour point <-700C, viskositas 5 cPs, dan density 0,82032 gram/cm3.   Kata kunci:  bioetanol, umbi suweg, fermentasi, distilas

Integrasi Islam dan Sains: Analisis Problematika dan Level Integrasi

Lagging behind in the fields of science and technology is a problem that has emerged since the end of the Middle Ages (18th century AD), so that since then Muslims have been infected with "catching-up syndrome" which has caused negative responses and resistance from many groups. This is mainly due to theological concerns, cultural effects and ecological crises. At least the prominent resistance in the form of movements can be divided into three (1) restorationist movements, (2) Bucailis movements and (3) fundamentalist movements. The response to these efforts is counterproductive with efforts to catch up and at the same time with the spirit of Islam that upholds science. Therefore, a more basic study is needed on a proportional and harmonious integration integration framework. This can be done by incorporating Islamic values ​​that are principled without turning off the dynamic elements of science and technology, but can instead spur and direct them to the desired goal, the welfare of life. The integration of these values ​​touches three levels (1) the level of scientific mental development, which consists of: (a) encouragement to study nature, (2) positive appreciation and awarding of scientific activities and (c) presentation of scientific character. (2) The level of world view, namely establishing an Islamic world view of the universe such as (a) recognition of the existence of God as the creator and preserver of nature, (b) belief in non-physical reality and not just physical-empirical reality, (c) acknowledgment of the existence of the purpose of the universe and (d) recognition of the existence of a moral order for the universe. (3) Orientation level, which includes: (a) epistemic orientation, namely empirical truth that can lead to strengthening faith and closeness to God and (b) practical orientation in the form of technological application by affirming that the purpose of applying science is humanity and universal prosperity that related to the role of humans as Khalifa

Paradigma Profetik Dalam Pelayanan Publik Di Indonesia

Publik selalu menuntut agar birokrat memberikan pelayanan publik yang berkualitas tinggi. Namun, harapan tersebut tidak terpenuhi karena pelayanan publik empiris yang telah berlangsung hingga saat ini masih ditandai dengan hal-hal seperti ketidakpastian yang rumit, lambat, mahal, dan melelahkan. Orang-orang terus dipandang sebagai pihak yang "melayani" tetapi tidak "melayani" dalam keadaan seperti itu. Ketika sampai pada masalah dengan layanan publik Indonesia, masalah utama saat ini adalah bagaimana meningkatkan kualitas layanan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini adalah field research (penelitian lapangan), yang artinya mengumpulkan data dari fakta-fakta yang terjadi di lapangan atau lokasi penelitian untuk menunjukkan konsistensi teori tersebut. Memanfaatkan metodologi penelitian kualitatif dalam prosesnya. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Indonesia masih memiliki beberapa permasalahan, seperti: 1) kurang tanggap, 2) kurang informatif, 3) kurang aksesibel, 4) kurang koordinasi, 5) birokrasi, 6) tidak mau mendengarkan keluhan, saran, dan aspirasi dari masyarakat. masyarakat, dan 7) tidak efektif. Sehingga masih sangat membutuhkan peningkatan kualitas layanan publik itu sendiri

Measuring regional manufacturing production: An analysis for the Spanish regions

In a big amount of economies (NUTS-I) the evolution of manufacturing production is analysed using Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Added Value (GAV) data from National Accounts. In Spain, the problem of using these data is that they are not available as soon as it would be desirable. In consequence, it is not possible to analyse the short term evolution of the industrial output through them. To solve these problems the Institute of Statistics of Spain (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica -INE-) constructs a monthly Industrial Production Index (IPI) from data belonging to a survey addressed to firms. At a regional level (NUTS-II), the difficulties to monitor the evolution of manufacturing production are even bigger due to the nearly absence of official data. During the last years, different public and private institutions have started to construct indices for some Spanish regions, but they do not use an homogeneus methodology and the indices are not directly comparable. In this paper, we summarize and extent the main results of previous studies about the possibility of using different indirect methods to analyse the short term evolution of regional industrial production. In concrete, two statistic and an econometric method are considered. First, we study the possibility of extending the methodology proposed by the Regional Institute of Statistics of Catalonia (Institut d'Estadistica de Catalunya -IEC-) to other Spanish Regions. Second, we analyse the relationships between electric energy consumption for industrial purposes and industrial production. Third, following Israilevich and Kuttner (1993), we apply a state-space model to obtain estimates of the industrial production indices using the Kalman Filter and the method of maximum likelihood. Next, to validate the indices obtained through these three methods we compare them with regional indices obtained by direct methods for the regions where they exist. Finally, we expose the main conclusions remarking the implications for public policy in relation with elaboration of regional statistics.
