Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Kearifan Lokal Joka’ju Masyarakat Nggela dalam Membangun Karakter Sadar Bencana Siswa di Sekolah Menengah Atas

Nggela Village, which is in the administrative area of Ende Regency, is one of the villages in the Wolojita sub-district which is prone to geological disasters, namely landslides. Mitigation efforts to increase public awareness in dealing with disasters can be done through education to students in Nggela village. Education is a conscious human effort in understanding themselves and their environment, or human efforts in understanding the interactions between the macro and micro cosmos. This research is focused as an effort to obtain an explanation of the integration of the values of local wisdom of the Nggela village community in the traditional Joka’Juceremony as a character formation of students in building disaster awareness behavior among students. The type of research is qualitative research particularly literature study with a descriptive analysis approach to produce information in the form of notes and descriptive data found in reference sources or literature. The traditional Joka’Juceremony which is carried out once a year to commemorate the new year according to local customs with the aim of repelling the bala or what is known as driving out evil spirits and as an effort to ask God to avoid disaster. This ceremony is a tradition and culture of the Indonesian people, especially the people on the Flores island, Ende Regency, Nggela Village, Lio tribe. This ritual is seen as one of the correct ones that was stated by its previous predecessors. This social value can be integrated as a disaster awareness effort for students in Nggela village where schools are obliged to equip students with education both theoretically (related to science and technology) and non-theoretically (relating to the formation of morals and character).   &nbsp

Oil palm leaf fibre and its suitability for paper-based products

Due to the shortage of wood as origin materials for paper-based production, agro-residue materials have been explored in the quest of finding the best alternative fibre. Oil palm leaf (OPL) is one of agro-residue that has potential due to its comparable characteristics with wood fibre. Studies on chemical compositions, fibre morphology, and mechanical property of OPL have been carried out aiming to evaluate its potential as a substitute raw material for pulp and paper-based production. The chemical compositions were analysed according to the TAPPI standard, Kurscher-Hoffner and chlorite methods accordingly. The mechanical property (tensile, tearing and bursting strengths) were determined as described in TAPPI test methods. Fibre dimensions were determined using Franklin method and analysed under the optical microscope. The content of cellulose in the OPL is determined to be 43.8%. Although, this result is lower than wood fibre (53%), OPL has higher hemicellulose content (36.4%) than the wood fibre (27.5%). In addition, the lignin content (19.7%) of OPL is in the low range of those in wood resources (18 - 25%). These parameters are important components to produce good quality pulp and will provide high mechanical strength of the paper-based products. The measured fibre length of oil palm leaf (1.13 mm) is shorter than the wood fibre (1.90 mm). Meanwhile, the mechanical property of OPL showed lower indexes than wood resources, however, tear (1.80 mN.m2/g) and burst (0.95 kPa.m2/g) indexes of OPL are higher than other published and successful wood resources (Eucalyptus). Based on the analyses, the oil palm leaf is indeed a suitable alternative of raw material for pulp and paper-based industries

Impact du concept et de la réalité du territoire sur le mode d’organisation, la nature du financement et l’étendue des opérations des groupes terroristes

Ce papier étudie la relation entre le mode d’organisation des groupes terroristes, la nature de leur financement et le couple « coût-impact » de leurs opérations. Nous partons de la notion et de la réalité du territoire, en tant que paradigme explicatif du déploiement de la nouvelle économie politique du terrorisme. L’article analyse l’hétérogénéité des modes d’organisation des structures terroristes, en fonction de leur substrat géographique et l’impact de cette hétérogénéité sur le type de financement levé par ces groupes et la nature des opérations menées. Sur la base de l’observation des modes opératoires de ces groupes terroristes, nous avons pu constater une forte corrélation entre la notion de territoire, le mode d’organisation et la nature de leur financement de ces groupes

SISTEM INFORMASI GEOGRAFIS PEMETAAN LOKASI TEMPAT PEMBUANGAN SAMPAH SEMENTARA (TPSS) MENGGUNAKAN METODE PROMETHE DI KOTA KUPANG

The dynamics of urban population growth is not only caused by the increase in the birth rate, but is more dominantly influenced by the flow of urbanization, whose presence also influences the city's economy. The increasing population and professional variations will lead to intense competition so that changes in lifestyle will tend to be competitive between individuals and urban social groups. The characteristics of the society tend to be individualistic, materialist and consumptive, resulting in social disparities between groups of people which have an impact on horizontal conflicts. Per capita income tends to increase because the dynamics of the economy move more aggressively so that if combined with changes in consumptive patterns, urban communities will waste more than rural communities. This research aims to; [1] Analyzing the accuracy of the distribution of waste based on the distribution pattern of the source of the landfill, [2] Analyzing the suitability of the location of the TPSS bins in accordance with the distribution pattern of the source of the landfill and the ease of access for transportation by the waste fleet, and [3] Determining the strategic location of the placement of TPSS bins for convenience. access to waste transfer in Kelapa Lima District, Kupang City. The research is focused in Kelapa Lima sub-district with a mixed method analysis approach, supported by primary and secondary data. Nearest neighbor analysis or better known as nearest neighbor analysis requires data about the distance between one settlement and the closest settlement, namely the nearest neighboring settlement. This analysis, introduced by Clark and Evans, is a method of geographic quantitative analysis used to determine the pattern of settlement distribution. Good waste management is indicated by the lack of even leaving residual waste from the waste management process at the previous stage. This matter is conceptualized in the 3R (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle) strategy, which starts by regulating [holding] consumption patterns then maximizing the value of the object's function to the highest point of use before it no longer has value and finally if it can no longer be used the object [prospective trash] is recycled. repeat until you get a new benefit value. Such a strategy must continue to be campaigned on a massive scale to the point where it is possible that waste will be generated by every human being as the main source of waste and requires producers to be responsible for ensuring the quality of their products which are more adaptive to environmental conditions

Higher Dimensional Taub-NUTs and Taub-Bolts in Einstein-Maxwell Gravity

We present a class of higher dimensional solutions to Einstein-Maxwell equations in d-dimensions. These solutions are asymptotically locally flat, de-Sitter, or anti-de Sitter space-times. The solutions we obtained depend on two extra parameters other than the mass and the nut charge. These two parameters are the electric charge, q and the electric potential at infinity, V, which has a non-trivial contribution. We Analyze the conditions one can impose to obtain Taub-Nut or Taub-Bolt space-times, including the four-dimensional case. We found that in the nut case these conditions coincide with that coming from the regularity of the one-form potential at the horizon. Furthermore, the mass parameter for the higher dimensional solutions depends on the nut charge and the electric charge or the potential at infinity.Comment: 11 pages, LaTe
