Beyond User Gaze: How Instagram Creates Tourism Destination Brand?

AbstractThis paper focused on how Instagram become a popular media to promote tourism site in Indonesia. Bali and Malang are the most well-known tourism destination in Indonesia, but now, conventional tourism promotion is not enough for promoting both of them. We found that everyone tried to promote their city with their own way. Therefore, we think Instagram provide a complete communication facilities, from tourism branding to user generated content photography. Using photo elicitation interview (PEI), we tried to describe the potential value of Instagram for promoting tourism site in Indonesia and describing how Instagram creating brand destination through photography side

Pests, diseases and weeds are considered as organisms that limiting the agricultural productivity. Losses of agricultural productivity originated from the attack of these organisms may be up to 40% to 60%; sometimes in several cases failure of harvests occurred. So far, chemical (synthetic) pesticides are used to control the attack of these organisms. Meanwhile, the use of synthetic pesticides in fact, creates many negative effects on both biotic and abiotic environments, such as pollution against terrestrial and aquatic environments, even killing the vertebrates and husbandry animals, predatory insects, and some economic insects (insect species that benefit to the life of man). Due to the losses created by utilization of synthetic pesticides, therefore a number of scientists and farmers initiated to turn their attention to use the natural pesticides (directly originated from plants) under the light of back to nature principle, although this step is seems to be less effective.Some natural pesticides practiced by West Javan farmers are likely almost disappeared and difficult to be found in the field. It is important to mention some species here such as cujete/kalabas (Cresentia cujete), bratawali (linospora tuberculata), bitter yam/gadung (Dioscorea hispida), sambiloto {Andrographis paniculata), sarikaya {Annona squamosa) and so many more. Some weed species are known used by farmers as natural pesticide like saliara {Lantana camara), ki pahit (Tithonia diversifolia), alang-alang (Imperata cylindrical) and badotan {Ageratum conyzoides). This research is aimed to inventory plant species used by farmers as natural pesticides as to reduce the reliance on synthetic pesticides. Methods of approach to the problem are by library studies (journals, proceedings of seminars, notes etc), field survey and interview to farmers of several districts (Kabupatens) in West Java and Banten Provinces i.e. Sumedang, Majalengka, Sukabumi, Garut, Pandegelang and Serang. Result shows that there are still 130 plant species used as natural pesticides, and 42 natural (plant based raw materials) pesticide formulations used by farmers

Perbedaan Waktu Emaskulasi Terhadap Keberhasilan Persilangan Gandum (Triticum Aestivum L.) Di Cangar Batu

Gandum (Triticum aestivum L.) ialah tanaman serealia yang berasal dari daerah subtropis. Produksi gandum pada saat ini masih terlalu rendah. Salah satu metode yang dapat ditempuh untuk meningkatkan produksi gandum adalah dengan persilangan. Diharapkan dengan adanya persilangan ini bisa menciptakan galur yang unggul dengan umur genjah, produktivitas tinggi, dan adaptif pada dataran menengah-tinggi. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga waktu emaskulasi yang berbeda. Emaskulasi adalah suatu tindakan membuang semua benang sari yang masih muda dari kuncup bunga betina, dengan maksud agar bunga tersebut tidak mengalami penyerbukan sendiri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mempelajari waktu emaskulasi yang baik terhadap keberhasilan persilangan tanaman gandum. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kebun Percobaan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Brawijaya Cangar Batu, Jawa Timur, pada bulan Oktober 2014 sampai dengan Februari 2015. Alat yang di gunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pinset, gunting, klip, sabit, tangkil, polibag, tali rafia, cetok, gembor, selang, mistar, timbangan, kamera, colour chart, kertas label, kantong kertas transparan, benang dan alat tulis.

Correlation Between Branched Chain Amino Acids to Tyrosine Ratio and Child Pugh Score in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

Background: The determination of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) to tyrosine ratio (BTR) was available in making differentiation of chronic hepatitis from liver cirrhosis, because there was a strong association between BTR and staging (fibrosis) scores. Branched chain amino acids to tyrosine ratio have a correlation with Fischer ratio and the examination is easier because it can be done by enzymatic assay. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the correlation between BTR and Child-Pugh score, we examined the amino gram of 52 liver cirrhosis patients consisted of 26 Child-Pugh A, 19 Child-Pugh B, and 7 Child-Pugh C. The examination of amino gram was done by High Pressure Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) analyzer. Branched chain amino acids to tyrosine ratio were compared to Child-Pugh score, albumin, ammonia level, number connection test to Fischer ratio. Results: Significant differences in BTR among Child-Pugh A, B, C were observed (Child-Pugh A 7.75 + 1.2; Child Pugh B 6.0 + 1.23 and Child Pugh C 4.38 + 3.14 (p = 0.000)). Branched chain amino acids to tyrosine ratio had a weak correlation with albumin (r = 0.292; p = 0.036), ammonia level (r = 0.376; p = 0.006) and strong correlation with Fischer ratio (r = 0.818; p = 0.000). There was no significant correlation between BTR and number connection test. Conclusion: These results showed that the determination of the molar ratio of branched chain amino acids to tyrosine well reflected the severity of liver cirrhosis and it can be used as a substitute of Fischer ratio

Positioning Analysis of Islamic Bank Vis-àvis Conventional Bank in Indonesia Using Parametric Sfa and Dfa Methods15

This study will measure and compare the efficiency of Conventional and Islamic banks in Indonesia using parametric approach stochastic frontier approach (SFA) and distribution free approach (DFA). These measurements will provide comprehensive and robust results of efficiency of individual bank compare to its peer group. The results using parametric SFA show that in 2002, conventional banks (0.79) were slightly more efficient than Islamic banks (0.77), while in 2003, the efficiency of Islamic banks improved to 0.84 and the efficiency of conventional banks worsen to 0.76, so that Islamic banks have become more efficient than conventional banks. Conventional and Islamic banks have been improving and converged to the highest level of efficiency (1.00) since 2004. The DFA results show that conventional banks (0.89) are only slightly more efficient than Islamic banks (0.87). Conventional public bank (0.93) is the most efficient, while Islamic regional bank (0.84) is the least efficient. Moreover, efficient banks (conventional and Islamic) do not always have lower OCOI (operating costs divided by operating income), while banks with better OCOI usually are more profitable (have better return on assets or ROA). Therefore, technically, Islamic banks have shown their readiness to compete head to head with their conventional counterparts. However, other aspects, such as, number of networks and branches, service quality, convenience, products and services provided, human resources, and pricing, should have become the next priorities for improvements.JEL Classification : C10, C33, G21, G2
