Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peluang perpindahan konsumen merek kartu seluler GSM ke merek kartu seluler GSM lainnya serta membuat prediksi peluang perpindahan konsumen merek kartu seluler GSM dikalangan mahasiswa pada masa yang akan datang. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer yang dikumpulkan melalui penyebaran kuesioner pada mahasiswa Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Total sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 87 orang mahasiswa. Berdasarkan hasil analisis Rantai Markov dengan menggunakan software QM 2.2 for window , diperoleh bahwa pada mahasiswa Fakultas Pertanian UNSRAT pengguna GSM untuk merek AS dan Simpati yang pada awal mendominasi persentase pengguna dan bahkan pada tahun-tahun berikutnya cenderung tetap mendominasi jumlah pengguna GSM. Pada tingkat kedua merek GSM IM3 dan GSM Tri yang mendominasi pengguna GSM, dimana keduanya masing-masing mencapai nilai antara 5-10% dari total pengguna.Dan selanjutnya, merek GSM XL, hanya mampu mencapai angka di bawah 5% saja.Sedangkan merek GSM Axis dan Mentari belum mampu untuk masuk pada pasar dalam populasi mahasiswa Fakultas Pertanian UNSRAT Manado.This study aims to determine the changes of consumers switching between brands of GSM and make predictions of consumer migration opportunities of each brand GSM among students in the future. The data used in the study is primary data collected through a questionnaire on the students of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado. The number of samples taken was 87 students. Based on markov chain analysis using QM 2.2 sofware for windows, found that the students of the Faculty of Agriculture UNSRAT brand GSM users AS and Simpati as a large percentage of users in early and even in later years tend to continue to dominate the numbers of GSM users. On the second level brand GSM users IM3 and Tri dominating users, where each of them reaches a value between 5-10% of the total users. The next brand GSM XL, only able to reach below 5%. While the brand GSM Axis and Mentari has not been able to enter the market in the agriculture faculty of the college population University of Sam Ratulangi Manado

Uji Efek Ekstrak Etanol Daun Jambu Biji (Psidium Guajava L) Terhadap Kadar Kolesterol Total Tikus Wistar (Rattus Norvegicus)

: This research aims to determine the effect of ethanol extract of guava leaves on levels of total cholesterol of rat that is induced propylthiouracil. This was an experimental research. The sample used was 15 rats were divided into 5 groups (1 group is consist of 3 rats), namely: 1) positive control, 2) extract dose of 200 mg/kgBB, 3) extract dose of 400 mg/kgBB, 4) extract dose of 800 mg/kgBB and 5) negative control. Group 1 to 4 are given propylthiouracil given for 14 days, then given treatment appropiate with the group. The result show that: 1) the average of total cholesterol levels increased after administration propylthiouracil from 156.34 mg/dL to 247.84 mg/dL, 2) at a dose of 200 mg/kgBB, 400 mg/kgBB and 800 mg/kgBB showed a decline in total cholesterol levels by 32.73%, 58.73% and 47.26%, 3) the positive control decreased total cholesterol levels by 39.46% and 4) total cholesterol levels on negative is unstable (there are up and some are down). The result of this research concluse that: guava leaf extract at dose of 200 mg/kgBB, 400 mg/kgBB and 800 mg kgBB have an effect in lowering total cholesterol of rat had been induced prophylthiouracil

Pengaruh Variasi Jarak Dan Panjangdeep Soil Mixing (Dsm) 10% Kapurdiameter 4 Cm Berpolatriangularterhadap Daya Dukung Tanah Ekspansif Di Bojonegoro (the Effect of Distance and Length Variation of 10%lime Deep Soil Mixing (Dsm) Using 4 Cm Diameter with Tri

Di Indonesia memiliki keadaan tanah yang berbeda disetiap tempat. Jenis tanah yang perlu diperbaiki yaitu tanah lempung ekspansif. Tanah lempung ekspansif adalah tanah yang memiliki daya dukung yang rendah dengan muka air yang tinggi, plastisitas yang tinggi dan juga memiliki sifat kembang susut yang tinggi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode DSM yang dilakukan sama seperti di lapangan tetapi lebih sederhana. Pengujian dilakukan pada box berukuran 30×30×30 cm3. Dalam pengujian tanah yang distabilisasi menggunakan DSM berdiameter 4 cm dengan variasi jarak (4 cm, 5 cm dan 6 cm) dan variasi panjang (10 cm, 15cm dan 20 cm). Pembebanan dilakukan pada tanah asli dan tanah stabilisasi dengan menggunakan beban vertical (pelat ukuran 5×5 cm2). Pembacaan beban dilakukan sampai tiga kali pembacaan agar mendapatkan beban maksimum. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu semakin dekat jarak antar DSM dan semakin panjang DSM maka semakin besar daya dukung, jarak dan panjang maksimum DSM terjadi pada jarak terdekat (L = 4 cm) dan panjang DSM sebesar 20 cm, danpada persentase sebesar 87,52% dapat menghentikan pengembangan (swelling) tanah asli

Smoking Behavior and Human Capital Investment: Evidence From Indonesian Household

This study aims at estimating the difference health and education performance between children with exposure to smoke and those who are not at home. An environment with the extreme smoke condition has adverse health effects. This study utilizes longitudinal data namely Indonesia Family Life Survey period 2007 and 2014 (IFLS4 and IFLS5). We use the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method and the Average Treatment Effect on Treated (ATT). The health indicator is proxied by body mass index (BMI) and educational achievement proxied with children cognitive ability. The results show that children who grow in a household with active smoker tend to have lower health status and educational attainment compare to children who are not. This study recommends public policy for banning smoking in public areas as well as inside building such as house and office in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v7i2.579

Religious Vehicle Stickers in Nigeria: a discourse of identity, faith and social vision

This study focuses on analysing the ways in which vehicle stickers construct individual and group identities, people’s religious faith and social vision in the context of religious assumptions and practices in Nigeria. Data comprise 73 vehicle stickers collected in Lagos and Ota, between 2006 and 2007 and are analysed within the framework of the post-structuralist model of discourse analysis which views discourse as a product of a complex system of social and institutional practices that sustain its continuous existence (Derrida, 1982; Fairclough, 1989, 1992, 1995; Foucault, 1972, 1981). Results show that through stickers people define their individual and group identities within religious institutional practices. And as a means of group identification, they guarantee social security and privileges. In constructing social vision the stickers help mould the individual aspiration about a future which transcends the present. Significantly, stickers in the data also reveal the tension between Islam and Christianity and the struggle to propagate one above the other.
