Pintu Terlarang a Disconcerting Spatial Interpretation of Urban Dystopia

The main character of the film Pintu terlarang (The forbidden door), Gambir, attains success in the art world by making statues of pregnant women. Part of his creative process is to insert dead foetuses into the wombs of the statues. His troubled soul meets a written request for help by a child he encounters in various places. The journey to find the child leads him to a secret door, revealing a terrifying reality of a dehumanized world. The city, commonly characterized by a sense of vastness, is set in opposition to small, enclosed spaces where individuals converse with their utmost self. The questions explored are: What is the role of space in engendering urban dystopia? In what ways does the selection of different space settings help create a dehumanized world? I argue that urban dystopia is created when the inhabitants of a city return to enclosed spaces in an effort to find an existence. When individuals prefer enclosed spaces and fail to reconstruct existing meanings, tendencies toward dystopia will come forward and city life will degenerate

Determination of Selection Index of Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao L.) Yield Traits Using Regression Methods

The increasing chocolate consumption has not been followed by growing production of dry cocoa beans. In order to support the increase in cocoa production, planting materials with high yield are needed. The objective of this research was to determine the components of cocoa traits affecting weight of dry cocoa beans, and set a selection index for superior cocoa trees. The experiment material were four cocoa hybrid populations of which their family ancestry were unknown, and were planted on Samigaluh Plantation, Yogyakarta, and Segayung Plantation, Central Java. Observations and data collection were conducted on four plant populations. The observations were undertaken for three years, by observing plant traits, including pod length, pod diameter, husk thickness, cavity diameter, pod fresh weight, cocoa bean/pod fresh weight, husk fresh weight, dry weight of cocoa beans/pod, number of cocoa beans/pod, dry weight per cocoa bean. The collected data were analyzed using path and regression analysis methods. The results showed that pod diameter (X4), fresh pod weight (X5), number of cocoa beans/pod (X8), and dry weight/cocoa bean (X9) were used to form a selection index resulting the equation I = 0.0792 X4 + 0.1330 X5 + 0.0106 X8 + 0.1349 X9 furthermore will be used in the selection of cocoa trees. Ten cocoa plants from seeds having the highest general selection index were D 034, D 003, D 015, A 054, D 004, D 033, D 041, A 157, D 036, and D 025 will be selected for further evaluation

Studi Potensi Kelayakan Investasi Taksi Di Kota Padang

Salah satu pilihan angkutan umum yang tersedia di kota Padang adalah taksi. Jumlah taksi yang beroperasi di Kota Padang berjumlah 223 unit (Dishub Sumbar, 2011). Angkutan taksi tersebut 97 % telah habis umur ekonomisnya. Pelayanan yang baik dari angkutan umum khususnya taksi merupakan kiat untuk mendapatkan pengguna. Salah satu bentuk pelayanan yang baik adalah dengan memberikan Kenyamanan kepada pengguna yang dapat diwujudkan dalam bentuk armada baru. Angkutan umum khususnya taksi mempunyai batasan umur dalam beroperasi maka operator harus melakukan peremajaan. Untuk menghindari kerugian akibat penggantian armada diperlukan analisis finansial investasi taksi. Analisis perhitungan Biaya Operasional Kendaraan (BOK) berdasarkan Pedoman Teknis Penyelenggara Angkutan Penumpang Umum di Wilayah Perkotaan Dalam Trayek Tetap dan Teratur, tahun 2002. Pengeluaran dan pendapatan ditentukan berdasarkan wawancara dengan sopir dan Perusahaan. Analisis finansial ditinjau dari segi investasi secara keseluruhan yaitu berdasarkan pendapatan dan pengeluaran untuk operasional angkutan taksi. Analisis finansial dilakukan dengan metode Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Break Even Point (BEP) dan Payback Period (PP) serta analisis sensitivitas. Dari hasil survey didapatkan waktu operasional kendaraan rata-rata antara pukul 06:00 WIB sampai pukul 23:00 WIB (+ 17 jam per hari) dan jarak tempuh kendaraan rata-rata 203 km/hari dengan pemakaian bahan bakar rata-rata 20,1 liter per hari setara dengan Rp. 90.450,- per hari. Sedangkan pendapatan rata-rata sebesar Rp. 438.875,- per hari atau Rp. 147.462.000,- per tahun dan pengeluarannya sebesar Rp. 360.903,- per hari atau Rp. 121.263.333,- per tahun. Untuk saat ini, potensi kelayakan investasi angkutan taksi di Kota Padang tidak layak, dimana hasil analisis dengan menggunakan metode NPV, BCR, IRR, BEP dan PP dengan umur ekonomis 5 (lima) tahun dinyatakan tidak layak. Untuk mencapai kondisi break even point maka pendapatan minimal yang harus diperoleh taksi adalah Rp. 472.720,- per hari. Dari hasil analisis sensitivitas pendapatan disimpulkan bahwa pendapatan sensitif jika mengalami kenaikan 7,71%. Artinya investasi menjadi layak untuk dilaksanakan jika operator meningkatkan pendapatan sebesar 7,71% atau Rp. 33.844,- per hari
