CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF PROVERBS IN INDONESIAN AND ENGLISH: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL LINGUISTIC STUDY

This research aims at (1)finding the similarities and differences of Indonesian and English proverbs,(2) explaining the cultural background for such similarities and differences.This research was descriptive qualitative. The data collection method was simak and catat (read and write) Meanwhile, the data analysis method was padan (identy) whose determining instrument was each language’s culture. The finding shows that to express the same underlying meaning, both languages use proverbs whose literal meanings are sometimes different and sometimes the same. This relates to the cultures of the two languages. Some parts of the cultures are different; some are the same

A user friendly geographic information system for soil conservation planners : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Soil Science at Massey University

Computer disk is unreadable.Soil conservation is an important activity for sustainable, productive landuse. To ensure sound effective soil conservation planning, the people who are involved in this activity - the planners and the decision makers - should know (among other things) how best to use a land resource inventory database, which has been stored in a computer. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyse such data is a technique which is being widely advocated. Unfortunately, most GIS computer programs are too difficult for the people like soil conservation planners who usually have little knowledge of computers. To help them understand GIS and then use GIS for their planning, a user friendly interface to the GIS was created. Two systems were created for the Pijiharjo sub-watershed, Indonesia; one with a popup menu, the other with a pulldown menu. Both interfaces were created using the SML (Simple Macro Language) command which is available under pc ARC/Info version 3.4D Plus. Although they looked different to the user, both used the same commands to execute the various operations. Once the initial design was completed, an evaluation was held to check whether the design was satisfactory from the user's point of view. The result of the evaluation showed that both systems were simple and easy to understand. However, there were some aspects that should be revised, such as the HELP facility. Similar databases from other areas could be analysed using these interfaces with the only requirement being a modification to the introductory remarks. Ideas for the future development of such systems are also discussed

The effect of leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) on bovine embryo development in vitro : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) either during in vitro maturation (IVM) or in vitro culture (IVC) on bovine embryo development. Three main experiments were conducted using oocytes aspirated from 2-8 mm diameter follicles collected from cows slaughtered at local abattoirs, Hamilton. The oocytes were matured in a modified TCM-199 containing 10 µ/ml of FSH and LH, and 1 µg/ml E2, fertilised in TALP and cultured in SOF/AA/BSA. Experiment 1 examined the effect of LIF (0, 500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml) and various time periods of IVM (18, 22 or 28 h), in a 4 × 3 factorial design on oocyte maturation. Following maturation, oocytes were stripped out of cumulus cells, then denuded oocytes were stained in 1% lacmoid for determination of maturation stage while the cumulus cells were examined for the incidence of apoptosis by observation of DNA fragmentation using gel electrophoresis procedures. Experiment 2 comprised two parts, (a) the effect of LIF (0, 500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml) at 24 h IVM in a randomised block design on in vitro development of embryos, (b) comparison of 20 vs 24 h IVM in the presence of LIF (0, 500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml) in a 2 × 4 factorial experiment on embryo development. In the two studies, the proportion of bovine oocytes that cleaved and developed to blastocyst stage was recorded. In addition, cell numbers of blastocysts after Giemsa staining were counted. Experiment 3 examined the effect of LIF during IVM (0 vs 1000 U/ml) or IVC (0, 500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml) in a 2 × 4 factorial design on development of embryos. The incidence of cleavage and blastocyst development and cell numbers of blastocysts were recorded. In addition, blastocysts were further categorised into early, expanded and hatched blastocyst stages and cell numbers of blastocyst inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) after differential staining with Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide were determined. In Experiment One, an interaction of LIF concentration and duration of IVM was not observed for the proportion of immature oocytes reaching metaphase II (P>0.05). The presence of LIF (500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml) increased the proportion of oocytes at metaphase II at 18 h (50%, 52% or 58%, respectively, compared to without LIF= 27%), indication that LIF may accelerate the maturation process in vitro. Supplementation of LIF during IVM did not affect the incidence of apoptosis of the cumulus cells. In Experiment Two, compared to 24 h IVM in the presence of LIF, 20 h IVM significantly increased blastocyst rates (Σ blastocysts : Σ cleaved, P0.05), however the data show that treatment groups of 20 h IVM in LIF resulted in higher cell numbers of blastocysts than achieved by 24 h IVM. In Experiment Three, there was a correlation between LIF during IVM and LIF during IVC in the proportion of blastocysts (P0.05). However, blastocysts derived from oocytes matured without LIF had significantly increased cell numbers (121 cells) compared to those matured in 1000 U/ml LIF (109 cells, P0.05). However, a concentration of 2000 U/ml LIF during IVC accelerated blastocyst development with more blastocysts hatching (60%, P0.05). A concentration of 1000 U/ml LEF during IVC resulted in higher cell numbers of ICM (P<0.05). This study suggests that LIF of 500, 1000 or 2000 U/ml increased the proportion of metaphase II bovine oocytes and even reduced the time course of IVM. Supplementation of LIF during IVM may suppress the incidence of apoptosis of the cumulus cells. IVM for 20 h in the presence of LIF resulted in a higher number of blastocysts and 1000 U/ml LIF during IVM and culture in LIF increased the proportion of blastocysts. A higher concentration of LIF is required for reaching the hatched blastocyst stage. A level of 1000 U/ml LIF during IVC promoted higher cell numbers of ICM

Abstrak. Latifa IC, Anggarwulan E. 2009. Kandungan nitrogen jaringan, aktivitas nitrat reduktase, dan biomassa tanaman kimpul (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) pada variasi naungan dan pupuk nitrogen. Nusantara Bioscience 1: 65-71. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh variasi naungan dan pupuk nitrogen serta interaksinya terhadap kandungan nitrogen jaringan, aktivitas nitrat reduktase, dan biomassa tanaman kimpul. Penelitian dilakukan dengan rancangan acak kelompok lengkap (RAKL) pola faktorial dengan 2 faktor, yaitu variasi naungan yang terdiri dari 3 taraf (naungan 0%, 50%, dan 75%) dan variasi pupuk nitrogen yang terdiri dari 4 taraf (dosis pupuk ZA 0; 0,0625; 0,125; dan 0,25 g ZA/kg tanah). Variabel yang diukur adalah kandungan nitrogen jaringan, aktivitas nitrat reduktase, berat basah tanaman, berat kering tanaman dan rasio pucuk/akar. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis sidik ragam (General Linear Model Univariate) kemudian jika ada beda nyata dilanjutkan uji jarak berganda Duncan (Duncan’s Multiple Range Test) pada taraf 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan naungan berpengaruh terhadap kandungan nitrogen jaringan, berat basah tanaman, dan rasio pucuk/akar. Perlakuan pemupukan berpengaruh terhadap semua variabel yang diamati. Variasi naungan dan pupuk nitrogen berpengaruh terhadap semua variabel perlakuan. Perlakuan naungan 75% dan dosis pupuk 0,25 g ZA/kg tanah meningkatkan kandungan nitrogen jaringan (5,32%) dan berat basah tanaman (420,88 g). Perlakuan tanpa naungan dan dosis pupuk 0,25 g ZA/kg tanah meningkatkan aktivitas nitrat reduktase (260,58 μ mol NO2-/g/jam) dan berat kering tanaman (53,92 g). Perlakuan naungan 50% dan dosis pupuk 0 g ZA/kg tanah meningkatkan rasio pucuk/akar (0,98). Kata kunci: naungan, nitrogen, aktivitas nitrat reduktase, Xanthosoma sagittifolium
