Home Bias and network effect of Indonesian migrant workers on Malaysia’s external trade

Limited studies on the effect of immigrant workers on trade have been carried out in Asia even though some Asian countries have become important labour sending or labour receiving countries. This study attempts to fill the gap by examining the effect of Indonesian migrant workers on the external trade of Malaysia. Three objectives are proposed. The first objective is to examine the long-run relationship between Indonesian migrant workers, and export and import, respectively. This is followed by examining the causality between Indonesian migrant workers and Malaysia’s external trade, as well as the extent to which Indonesian migrant workers affect Malaysia’s external trade in the third objective. The secondary data are analysed utilizing the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) framework. The findings show that Indonesian migrant workers do not have any significant effect on Malaysia’s import, thus indicating the insignificance of the home bias effect. The outcomes also reveal a negative and significant effect of Indonesian migrant workers on exports implying the absence of a network effect. This could be due to several factors, such as similarities in culture between Malaysia and Indonesia, low-skilled immigrant workers, the immigrants working in non-tradable sectors, the import substitution policy in Indonesia, and Indonesia not being the main trading partner of Malaysia

Dampak Pemberian Pupuk Hayati Cair terhadap Pertumbuhan Bibit Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) pada Pembibitan Utama yang ditanam di Tanah Ultisol

Djafar et al, 2019. The Impact of Administering Liquid Biological Fertilizer on the Growth of the Palm Oil Seed (Elaeis quineensis Jacq.) in Main Nurseries Planted in Ultisol Land. pp. 193-197.The objective of this study was to see the impact of the use of liquid biological fertilizer on the growth of oil palm seedlings in the main nurseries planted in the Ultisol land. This study was conducted in Sukarami Vilaage, Alang-alang Lebar Subdistrict, Palembang City, from August 2011 to November 2011. The design of the study used was a randomized block design which was arranged factorially. The factors were the amount of fertilizer and the time to administer the liquid fertilizer. One factor consists of 4 subfactors of fertilizer dose (25%, 50%. 75%, and 100%); and the other one consists of 3 subfactors of fertilizer time (once in 5 days, once in 10 days, and once in 15 days). Each treatment was carried out with three replications. The variables observed in the plant growth were: plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter and total leaf area. The measurement was carried out every 3 weeks, until the seedlings were 3 months after planting. The study used polybags measuring 40 cm x 50 cm. The media of growth was in the from of top soil of Ultisol type, from former rubber plantation. Each polybag was filled with soil with a weight of 15 kg in dry air condition. Each polybag is labeled according to the treatment. The seeds used were from early 3-month- old nurseries. After the polybag was ready to be planted with the seedlings of 3 months old and it was placed in a open area in accordance with the treatment chart. Then it was treated and maintained. The results of the study showed that the fertilizer dosage and the time of fertilizer application and their interaction did not have an impact on the growth of the main seddlings

PIDIW: Picturing by Describing Words as an Innovative Method Development in English Learning for Foreign and Second Learner

The ultimate goal of learning English is that students can easily grasp every material being taught. Especially in learning vocabularies, teachers are always looking for the best method to be applied in learning. By offering this PIDIW method, it is expected that it can encourage, arouse students' enthusiasm in learning English, and can create a fun and satisfying quality of learning between teachers and students in class. Seeing how important it is for students to understand and enjoy learning English in class, the authors conducted a study by developing a learning method that is expected to be used in learning English. This research aims to produce an innovative method called "Picturing by Describing Words". This research seeks to formulate the development of the Picturing By Describing Words learning method or abbreviated as PIDIW which includes: Definition, and Steps for Its Application in learning English. This research is limited only to the following stages: 1. Definition stages. 2. Stages of Formulation and Design. The stages of implementation will be carried out as the next research. Picturing by describing words or abbreviated as PIDIW is a planning learning method that can be used by teachers in learning English. This learning method will encourage students' ability to catch words in English. So that the teacher/instructor can find out the development or the number of English vocabulary owned by each student/learner. This method is also expected to be able to improve students' quick and critical thinking skills to analyze descriptive words and transfer them into a final understanding. This understanding can be in the form of writing or directly conveyed orally (orally). The creation of fun English learning between teachers and students

Regulatory Approaches to Managing Skilled Migration: Indonesian Nurses in Japan

This article examines the Japan–Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement, an agreement that has allowed Japan to supplement its local healthcare workforce while continuing to sidestep the thorny issue of labour and immigration policy reform and Indonesia to increase its skilled workers’ access to the Japanese labour market at a time when it was making a concerted effort to reorient migrant labour flows away from informal sector occupations. Despite the programme’s many problems, it has contributed to the use of trade agreements as a mechanism for regulating labour migration, and so to the normalisation of migrant labour as a tradable commodity rather than a discrete area of policy-making, with all the attendant risks that normalisation brings

Pengaruh Jenis Co-Solvent Terhadap Rendemen Dan Mutu Biodiesel Secara Transesterifikasi in Situ Menggunakan Radiasi Gelombang Mikro

The main purpose of this research was to observer effect co-solvent type (n-Hexane, chloroform and without co-solvent) toward yield and quality of biodiesel via in situ transesterification process using microwave irradiation. The process was studied at microwave power 450 watt, reaction time 4 minutes, methanol to seed ratio 25:1 and catalyst concentration 5%. The physicochemical parameters of the biodiesel produced such as viscosity, density and acid value were analysed and compared with the SNI 7182-2012 standard. The experimental result showed the maximum yield biodiesel 78,32% obtained by using co-solvent chloroform.Test result of physicochemical properties (viscosity, density and acid value) of biodiesel products using co solvent n-Hexane, chloroform and without co solvent showed that these products conform to the SNI 7182-2012 standars. The type of co-solvent only affectedon biodiesel yield dan not affected on biodiesel quality (viscosity, density and acid value)

Pengaruh Penyalut Maltodekstrin terhadap Produk Mikrokapsul Minyak Jahe dengan Teknik Spray Drying

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat mikrokapsul minyak jahe dengan menggunakan teknik spray drying. Bahan penyalut yang digunakan adalah maltodekstrin. Variabel penelitian yang dipelajari adalah konsentrasi maltodekstrin yaitu 10, 20 dan 30 (%-b/v) dan rasio minyak jahe terhadap maltodekstrin yaitu 1:8, 1:10, 1:12 dan 1:14 (b/v). Variabel penelitian dengan rendemen tertinggi akan digunakan untuk mempelajari pengaruh variasi suhu inlet proses spray drying (160, 170, 180 dan 190 oC). Hasil analisis gas kromatografi-spektrofotometri massa menunjukkan bahwa ada lima komponen terbesar yang terdapat dalam minyak jahe yaitu benzene (28,62%), zingiberene (19,46%), β-bisabolene (13,48%), cyclohexane (12,59%) dan farnesene (5,83%). Rendemen produk mikrokapsul minyak jahe tertinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan konsentrasi maltodekstrin 30% dan rasio minyak jahe terhadap maltodekstrin 1:14 yaitu sebesar 37 gram. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan suhu inlet spray drying memberikan pengaruh terhadap kadar air, kadar minyak total, kadar minyak di permukaan dan kadar minyak terperangkap mikrokapsul minyak jahe. Hasil analisis Scanning Electron Microscopy menunjukkan mikrostruktur produk mikrokapsul minyak atsiri jahe yang dihasilkan memiliki bentuk yang bervariasi
