The Urban-rural Dichotomy in the Indonesian Documentaries Nona Nyonya? and Untuk Apa?

The media play a pivotal role in the democratization process in Indonesia and this is among others apparent in the surge of films, both fiction and documentaries that have been produced after the end Suharto\u27s decades of control over the media. It is important to note, however, that compared with fiction films, the documentary genre remains rather unpopular in Indonesia. Indonesian documentary films struggle to depict stories of the subaltern and those living in the “periphery” in order for them to be seen and heard by the greater masses and by those in power – the ones in the “centre” or Jakarta. This paper discusses the connection between urban and rural voices and its impact in the documentary films Nona nyonya? (Miss mrs?, 2008) and Untuk apa? (What\u27s the point?, 2008) produced by Kalyana Shira Films, an organization well-known for its work on gender issues using film as medium. Departing from the notion that the film industry itself is still largely Jakarta-centred, this article focuses on the way urban settings and voices are used to create rhetoric, and the impact of the domination of these urban voices over the rural ones

Uniqueness of Viscosity Solutions for Optimal Multi-Modes Switching Problem with Risk of default

In this paper we study the optimal m-states switching problem in finite horizon as well as infinite horizon with risk of default. We allow the switching cost functionals and cost of default to be of polynomial growth and arbitrary. We show uniqueness of a solution for a system of m variational partial differential inequalities with inter-connected obstacles. This system is the deterministic version of the Verification Theorem of the Markovian optimal m-states switching problem with risk of default. This problem is connected with the valuation of a power plant in the energy market.Comment: 25 pages; Real options, Backward stochastic differential equations, Snell envelope, Stopping times, Switching, Viscosity solution of PDEs, Variational inequalities. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0805.1306 and arXiv:0904.070

PENGARUH KADAR AIR DAN UKURAN BAHAN TERHADAP HASIL PENGOMPOSAN SAMPAH ORGANIK TPST UNIVERSITAS DIPONEGORO DENGAN METODE TAKAKURA

Abstrak Daun kering adalah sampah yang paling banyak dihasilkan dibandingkan sampah lain dalam kegiatan perkuliahan. Salah satu metode yang efektif untuk menghindari potensi masalah yang disebabkan oleh timbunan sampah organik yaitu dengan proses pengomposan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh kadar air dan ukuran bahan pada proses pengomposan dan menentukan kadar air optimum dan ukuran bahan optimum untuk kompos. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada skala laboratorium selama 30 hari dan proses pengomposan dilakukan dengan metode Takakura. Variasi kadar air yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 40%, 50%, dan 60%. Variasi ukuran bahan yang digunakan adalah 1 cm, 1,5 cm, 2 cm. Mol tetes tebu difermentasi sebelum digunakan sebagai aktivator kompos. Studi pendahuluan dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik bahan baku kompos dan mol tetes tebu. Kadar air, suhu, dan pH diukur setiap hari. CNPK diuji di awal dan di akhir proses pengomposan. Uji toksisitas dilakukan untuk mengetahui bakteri patogen yang terkandung dalam kompos matang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar air optimum adalah 60% dan ukuran bahan optimum adalah 1 cm. Variasi optimum tersebut ditentukan dari skoring. Variasi tersebut memiliki rasio C/N sebesar 16,531%, kandungan C-organik 29,773%, kandungan N-Total 1,801%, kandungan P-Total 0,112% dan K-Total 2,536%, dan nilai GI 109,6%. Uji Total coli sebesar 24 MPN/gram menunjukkan bahwa dari penelitian ini kompos telah matang dan bebas dari bakteri pathogen. Kata Kunci: Kompos; Activator; Kadar Air; Sampah daun; Uji Toksisitas. Abstract [The Effect of water content and material size on Organic Waste Composting at TPST Diponegoro University with Takakura Method]. Dried leaves are the most substantial waste compared to another type of waste at college activities. One effective method to avoid any potential problem caused by excessive amount of organic waste is composting. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of moisture content and material size on composting process and to determine the optimum moisture content and material size for composting. This study was conducted on laboratory scale for 30 days and composting process was implemented using the takakura method. Various moisture contents used in this study were 40%, 50%, and 60%. The material size has variety from 1 cm, 1,5 cm, and 2 cm. Molasses is fermented before it is used as a compost activator. Preliminary study conducted to observe the characteristic of raw materials of the compost and the molasses. Moisture content, temperature, and pH were measured daily. CNPK had been tested in the beginning and in the end of composting process. Toxicity test was performed to measure pathogenic bacterias contained in mature compost. The results showed that the optimum moisture content was 60% and the optimum material size was 1 cm. The optimum variables are determined by scoring. The optimum variables has the value of C/N ratio which is 16,531% at K1-60, Total-N which is 1,801% at K1-60, Total-P which is 0,112% at K1-60, Total-K which is 2,536% at K1-60, and GI value which is 109,6% at K1-60. The value of total coli test showed 24 MPN/gram which pointed that the mature compost had been produced from this research and free from pathogenic bacteria.

THE EFFORTS OF PUBLIC RELATIONS OF PT PLN (PERSERO) APJ SURAKARTA TO SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTE THE ELECTRICITY ECONOMIZING PROGRAM

This final project report is written based on the job training in PT PLN (Persero) APJ Surakarta.   The job training was done on 2 nd  until 31 st  March, 2009. The major aim of this final project is to know  the   efforts   of   Public  Relations   of   PT   PLN  (Persero)  APJ   Surakarta   to   successfully   execute   the  electricity economizing program. In the discussion, the writer describes the efforts of Public Relations of PT PLN (Persero) APJ   Surakarta to successfully execute the electricity economizing program. There are the efforts for external  public and the efforts for internal public. The efforts for external public   are giving knowledge and  spreading information by making relationship with mass media, holding socialization about electricity  economizing program, creating and using Mr. and Mrs. Bili the clowns, making printed materials for  promotion and publication about electricity economizing program, and persuading society to turn off  light at 17.00 p.m. until 22.00 p.m. The efforts for internal public are holding campaign in PT PLN   (Persero)  APJ   Surakarta,   persuading   the   employees   of   PT   PLN  (Persero)  APJ   Surakarta   to   use  electricity economically, and turning off light of PT PLN (persero) APJ Surakarta at 17.00 p.m. until  22.00 p.m. The  implementation of   the program mostly  run well  even  though  the Public Relations  has  weaknesses; they are the budget and the facilities of Public Relations Division of PT PLN (Persero)  APJ Surakarta.  At last,  the writer gives some suggestions to Public Relations Division of PT PLN  (Persero) APJ Surakarta, such as increasing the quality and quantity of the facilities, improving the   skills of the officers in order to conform to their field, and increasing more budgets to support their  activities

Stochastic Optimal Control and BSDEs with Logarithmic Growth

In this paper, we study the existence of an optimal strategy for the stochastic control of diffusion in general case and a saddle-point for zero-sum stochastic differential games. The problem is formulated as an extended BSDE with logarithmic growth in the $z$-variable and terminal value in some $L^p$ space. We also show the existence and uniqueness of solution of this BSDE.Comment: 20 page
