Faktor-faktor yang Mempengaruhi Produksi Padi Studi Kasus di Kecamatan Nogosari, Boyolali, Jawa Tengah

The objective of this research were to analyze factors influencing the increase of rice production and to analyze the optimum use of production factors on the rice farming. This research was held in October 1999 on 120 farmer in 4 villages of Nogosari-Subdistrict, Boyolali-Regency, Central Java-Province. The data collecting method was divided to in two stages. First, to determine the village sampling done by using a stritified random sampling method and second, to determine the farmers done by a simple random sampling method. The method of collecting data was done an interview using quesionaire instrument. The results of this research were: The used simultaneously model showed that the factors such as the cultivated land width, the quantityof effective labours, the quantity of fertilizers, the quantity of pesticides, the farming experiences, the distance between the farmer houses and the cultivated lands, and the irrigation system had a real influence to the increase of the rice production. The model used in this research had indicated that partially the cultivated land width, the quantity of effective labours, the quantity of fertilazers, the quantity of pesticides, the distence between the farmers houses and the cultivated lands, and the irrigation system had given influences to the increas of rice production, while the farming experiences did not influence to (non-significant) the increasing of rice production. The results of the analyze on the optimum use of production factors had indicated: the cultivated land width was not optimum so that its use should be increased, the quantity of effective labours was not optimum either so that its use should be decreased primarily on the first planting seasion (MT. I) and the second planting seasion (MT. III), while on the third planting seasion (MT. III) it was optimum. Further more, the quantity of fertilizers was not optimum so that its use needed to be decreased and the quantity of pesticides was not optimum either so that its use needed to be increased

Utilization of Viable Bone Marrow Derivat Stem Cells Through an Adaption in Low Oxigen Tension as an Attempt to Increase Cellular Transplantation Efficacy for Spermatogenesis Process

Cellular transplantation using stem cells provides very promising solutions in the regeneration and repairment of cells that have experienced degeneration where recovery through medical or surgical intervension is impossible. However, the very low viability of transplanted stem cells limits the transplantation efficacy. The aim of this research was to obtain viable bone marrow derived stem cells by an adaptation treatment in a low oxygen tensioned in vitro culture. Low oxygen tension adaptation was adjusted to the niche of the stem cells in vivo. In this study, in vitro culture of stem cells in 1% oxygen was compared to those of the conventional culture in 21 % oxygen.Results showed that under 1% oxygentension cell proliferation was slower with larger or rounded triangle shaped cells, and senescence or dead cells was low. Meanwhile under 21 % oxygen tension cell proliferation was two fold faster with flattened and slender cells, and senescence or dead cells was higher. In conclusion, conventional in vitro culture under 21% oxygen caused cell aging (senescence) and rapid cell death, therefore the transplanted cells were not viable

Managing Oil Palm Plantations More Sustainably: Large-Scale Experiments Within the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Programme

Conversion of tropical forest to agriculture results in reduced habitat heterogeneity, and associated declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Management strategies to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes have therefore often focused on increasing habitat complexity; however, the large-scale, long-term ecological experiments that are needed to test the effects of these strategies are rare in tropical systems. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)—one of the most widespread and important tropical crops—offers substantial potential for developing wildlife-friendly management strategies because of its long rotation cycles and tree-like structure. Although there is awareness of the need to increase sustainability, practical options for how best to manage oil palm plantations, for benefits to both the environment and crop productivity, have received little research attention. In this paper we introduce the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Programme: a long-term research collaboration between academia and industry in Sumatra, Indonesia. The BEFTA Programme aims to better understand the oil palm agroecosystem and test sustainability strategies. We hypothesise that adjustments to oil palm management could increase structural complexity, stabilise microclimate, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs, thereby helping to improve levels of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The Programme has established four major components: (1) assessing variability within the plantation under business-as-usual conditions; (2) the BEFTA Understory Vegetation Project, which tests the effects of varying herbicide regimes; (3) the Riparian Ecosystem Restoration in Tropical Agriculture (RERTA) Project, which tests strategies for restoring riparian habitat; and (4) support for additional collaborative projects within the Programme landscape. Across all projects, we are measuring environmental conditions, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions. We also measure oil palm yield and production costs, in order to assess whether suggested sustainability strategies are feasible from an agronomic perspective. Early results show that oil palm plantation habitat is more variable than might be expected from a monoculture crop, and that everyday vegetation management decisions have significant impacts on habitat structure. The BEFTA Programme highlights the value of large-scale collaborative projects for understanding tropical agricultural systems, and offers a highly valuable experimental set-up for improving our understanding of practices to manage oil palm more sustainably

Prediction of soluble solid content of starfruit using spectral imaging combined with partial least squares and support vector regression

Spectral imaging technique such as hyperspectral and multispectral imaging is a combination of imaging and spectroscopy. This powerful technique can provide samples of spectral images, which can be used to analyze a number of fruit properties. The aim of this study is to develop calibration or predictive model for determining soluble solid content (SSC) of starfruit samples based on their spectral images. Partial least squares (PLSR) and support vector regression (SVR) techniques were applied to build the relationship between the mean spectral data and the reference value. The mean spectral data was extracted from spectral images of each starfruit samples. The simple template for region of interest (ROI) selection and five optimal wavelengths (565.2, 677.2, 736, 873.2 and 943.2 nm) as proposed in previous study were used for extraction of the mean spectral data. The result showed that the calibration model with PLSR and SVR had better performance than the previous study. Moreover, the calibration model with SVR was the best performance for prediction of SSC value of starfruit

The Effect of Capital Expenditure on Local Revenue: Study in East Java Indonesia

In the decentralization era, local independence is the logic consequence of the implementation of fiscal decentralization. Further, fiscal decentralization has potentially to increase economic efficiency of the local government if compared with the central government. This research analyzed the effect of capital expenditure through Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) on Local Revenue. The sample in this study was 38 districts/ cities in East Java province in Indonesia using path analysis. The results showed some findings, first, capital expenditures which divided into productive capital expenditures and less productive capital expenditures has affect on regional gross domestic product. Second, regional gross domestic product has affects on the forming components of local revenue. Furthermore, less productive capital expenditures and productive capital expenditures have indirect effect on local revenue through regional gross domestic product.&nbsp
