PENANGANAN ANAKAN MUDA PADA KULTUR EX VITRO UNTUK MENGHASILKAN BIBIT SAGU (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) SIAP TANAM

To fulfill market demand and prevent its extinction, sago palm plantation need to be developed by planting elite varieties in other areas. For these reasons the large number of seedling is needed. In this study we developed the method for an ex vitro propagation technique combining with maintaining samples freshness for several days. Young suckers were treated using aquades, Na-hypochlorite or alcohol. After 3 days, suckers were sterilized, followed by dipping in vitamin solutions and IBA for an hour. The shoots were then planted in the mixture of soil and organic fertilizer. The results of our study showed that young sucker treated with alcohol 96% was the best treatment for maintaining the freshness of samples upto 3 days. During 20 weeks of culture, the optimum root induction was achieved after applying IBA 50 mg/L. Our result may serve as a base for mass propagation of sago palm.Keywords: Ex vitro, IBA, root induction, sample freshness, young suckers ABSTRAKUntuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasar serta mencegah kepunahannya, perkebunan sagu perlu dikembangkan dengan menanam tanaman sagu berkualitas di daerah lain yang sesuai.

Analisis Peningkatan Frekuensi Penculikan di Laut oleh Abu Sayyaf Group(ASG) pada Tahun 2016

In 2016, Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) scored a new innovation in the field of kidnapping by abducting crews from sailing vessels around Southern Philippines sea. Then, the number of kidnapping with certain modus operandi increased. This study aims to determine factors that caused the increasing number of kidnappings at sea by the ASG in 2016. This study combines Martha Crenshaw’s Instrumental Terrorism approach (1988) that defines terrorism as a tool to fulfill the stated aim of a terrorist group with Peter Lehr’s Terrorist at Sea concept (2009) which stated that terrorist group often copies a tried-and-tested act by other group. This study uses literature study method through books, journals, reports and articles. Interview method with diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia who were involved in the release of ASG’s hostages is also used to obtain supporting data. The result of this study is that three factors emerge as the cause of increasing number: the high probability in conducting the kidnappings; the comparison of gain and loss from the kidnappings, and the novelty behind the choice to kidnap. Other than that, ASG also conducted kidnappings at sea to reach its tactical aims in financial and recognition aspect, to maintain its sustainability, and to upgrade its social class among international terrorist network

Penilaian Perkhidmatan Dan Kemudahan Kerajaan Tempatan Untuk Peniaga Kecil Di Bandar Bentong, Pahang.

Local authorities play an important role in urban development. Urbanization and development that occur simultaneously and drastically created many challenges to the local authorities in providing services and facilities especially for the small scale traders in the city. The provision of business spaces, trading licenses and permits are very important in determining the direction and role of small scale traders in the economic market in future. An evaluation of a local authority’s services and facilities for small scale traders in the city can help the local government in planning, managing and improving the services and facilities provided to facilitate the local economic development. In addition, this study also aims to investigate the effectiveness and the strategies used by the local authority, particularly the Bentong Municipal Council (MPB), in providing services and facilities to small scale traders in the study area. Quantitative and qualitative analyse have been done towards the information and data obtained from primary and secondary sources, through survey questionnaires and interviews with MPB officers as well as community leaders. Findings from this research showed that there were some problems faced by the small scale traders in regards to the services and facilities provided by the MPB. Among the problems are design of the stalls, limited stall area, insufficient car parking lots, water supply and others. Few suggestions have been recommended for the MPB to improve the quality of its services. This study hopes to contribute useful information in these issues and become the pioneer for future studies. Although small scale traders are just a small component in the function and development of the city, the role of local authorities in providing services and facilities for the traders in achieving socioeconomic development is very vital

Developing a Bi-objective Model to Configure a Scalable Manufacturing Line Considering Energy Consumption

Part VI - Meta-Heuristics and Optimization Techniques for Energy-Oriented Manufacturing SystemsInternational audienceToday, due to intense global competition, manufacturing systems need to be highly responsive and adaptive to fulfill market demand fluctuations and personalized production. Reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is one of the main paradigms which has been introduced to overcome the dynamic nature of today’s industry. In addition, RMSs are also a basis to develop new generation of sustainable production systems. This paper addresses the problem of designing a scalable manufacturing line for a part family considering both cost- and energy-effectiveness criteria. Hence, a bi-objective mathematical programming model is proposed. The main decision is to configuration and/or reconfiguration of pro-duction line by adding a set of new machines from a list of candidate reconfigu-rable machine tools (RMTs) and/or transforming them among the stages to fulfill anticipated demands in the periods of a time horizon. A numerical example is solved to illustrate the validation of the model. CPLEX is utilized to implement an augmented epsilon constraint method to extract Pareto front. The results show that different strategies in configuration the production line have significant im-pact on cost- and energy-effectiveness criteria
