Representasi Kolonisasi Terhadap Masyarakat Kulit Hitam Afrika Dalam Novel Things Fall Apart Karya Chinua Achebe

This article discusses white-skinned race colonization and its impacts on African black-skinned race tribal society and culture in African Anglophone novel Things Fall Apart written by Chinua Achebe. The approach used in this research is post-colonial approach by using post-colonial theory to analyze phenomena as well as the implication of the colonizer and the colonized relationship. The result of this research indicates that the coming of white-skinned race colonialists in African Ibo tribe community with their colonization and cultural imperialism is implemented with varied strategies. Those strategies are proven effectively in strengthening white-skinned race\u27s colonial hegemony in Africa. The white-skinned race colonialists\u27 imperialism results in horizontal conflict and cultural-social disintegration in African native society; between the pro-colonial and the anti-colonial. Anti-colonial resistence is shown by most African native society to fight against colonial government arrogance and to resist white-skinned race imperialism in Africa

Komunikasi Pembangunan dan Pemberdayaan : Kasus pada Peternakan Rakyat

Tulisan ini berusaha mengkaji pendekatan-pendekatan program pemberdayaan peternak rakyat di Indonesia selama ini ditinjau dari perspektif Komunikasi Pembangunan serta mengkaji peluang dan tatangan yang mungkin dihadapi dalam penerapan pendekatan yang disebut dengan istilah Komunikasi Pembangunan Partisipatif dalam pemberdayaan peternak rakyat. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan peternak rakyat melalui pendekatan teknis dan terpadu yang pernah diterapkan, dari perspektif Komunikasi Pembangunan, masih dilakukan secara sentralistis dan merupakan proses yang bersifat top-down. Hal ini terlihat dalam penerapannya melalui pendekatan penyuluhan yang berakar pada model difusi-inovasi dan model program paket. Pendekatan ini cenderung lebih berorientasi pada produksi daripada pemberdayaan peternak, sehingga komunikasi hanya dipandang sebagai pendukung atau pelengkap dalam pelaksanaan program. Pendekatan ini juga mengakibatkan partisipasi peternak yang semu, keberlanjutannya kurang terjamin, kesenjangan yang semakin melebar, dan ketergantungan. Salah satu solusi alternatif di masa depan adalah mengintegrasikan pendekatan komunikasi pembangunan yang lebih partisipatif dengan pendekatan agribisnis berbasis komunitas dalam rangka pemberdayaan peternak rakyat di pedesaan. Meskipun demikian penerapan pendekatan ini dimungkinkan masih menghadapi beberapa kendala, antara lain belum populernya konsep, strategi dan pendekatan komunikasi pembangunan partisipatif dan dampak yang dihasilkannya baru dapat dirasakan dalam jangka waktu yang lebih lama

Komunikasi Pembangunan Partisipatif: sebuah Pengenalan Awal

Istilah Komunikasi Pembangunan Partisipatif (Kombangpar) mungkin masih terasa asing, bahkan di kalangan akademisi dan praktisi komunikasi pembangunan sendiri di Indonesia. Sebab sekalipun konsep, model, dan penerapannya sudah dikembangkan beberapa dekade lalu namun wacana tentang Kombangpar masih belum dilakukan secara meluas dan intens sampai saat ini. Momentum setengah abad embrio lahirnya Komunikasi Pembangunan, sejak pertama kali Daniel Lerner mempublikasikan hasil penelitiannya pada tahun 1958 (The Passing of Traditional Society: Modernizing the Middle East) dapat pula dijadikan sebagai tonggak penting untuk mulai memahami, mengkaji dan mencari relevansinya bagi pembangunan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat Indonesia yang sampai saat ini masih belum beruntung karena struktur sosial dan sistem yang kurang berpihak kepada mereka

Pemanfaatan Sampah Sayur Pasar Dalam Produksi Listrik Melalui Microbial Fuel Cells (Utilization of Market Vegetable Waste in Electricity Production Through Microbial Fuel Cells)

The presence of organic market vegetable waste is so abundant. One of utilization of vegetable market waste is processed into compost. However, compost has difficulties in marketing so it is only used on a small scale and it gives impact to the environment such as acidification and eutrophication. On the other hand, the threat of energy and fuel-crisis makes activities related to renewable energy into something urgent to be done. One of the renewable energy alternatives is Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). MFCs are bioelectrochemical system spontaneously converting biomass into electricity through metabolic activity of microorganisms. The purpose of study is to apply MFCs as an application of voltaic cells in producing electricity using slurry phase of vegetable waste as substrate. Variations performed on the slurry phase comparison: water are 1: 2; 1: 1 and 2: 1, and the addition of EM4. Operations were conducted for 21 days. Production of the greatest voltage is at R1+ reactor (1:2 with addition of EM4) and reached 1180 mV. An electric current is 5.1 μA, and the electric power is 6.02 Mwatt, and the power density is 462.92 mWatt/m2. The presence of water in MFCs role in the mechanism of vegetable waste degradation. The tendency of increase in the electrical energy at the beginning of the operation of the reactor showed an increase in cellular synthesis of microorganisms. Declining electric energy is influenced of pH as microorganisms living place and the formation process of attached media at the electrode

Korelasi Nutrien Terlarut Dengan Struktur Komunitas Plankton Di Tambak Mangrove Blanakan, Kab. Subang

Research potential of nutrients and their effects on plankton in the pond was done in mangrove [tambak terbuka (TB), tambak tumpangsari (TS), tambak tanah timbul (TT) and tambak perhutani (TP)] Blanakan. Data collection was dissolved nutrients (ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate) and plankton performed at each station using a bottle and plankton net sampler no. 25. The results showed that the concentration of ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and ranged 0,0075 to 0,6247 ppm, nitrite ranged 0,0109 to 0,0289 ppm, nitrate ranged 0,0150 to 0,1040 ppm and phosphate ranged 0,0097 to 0,1816 ppm.
