Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana karakteristik wirausaha mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Makassar serta untuk mengetahui faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi minat berwirausaha mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Makassar. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa angkatan 2016 dan 2017 Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Makassar yang telah mengikuti mata kuliah kewirausahaan berjumlah 73 mahasiswa. Jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan analisis inferensial (analisis faktor). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa minat berwirausaha mahasiswa Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Sipil dan Perencanaan Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Makassar berdasarkan indikator memiliki minat tinggi dalam berwirausaha. Hasil analisis faktor diperoleh nilai Kaiser-Meyer�Olkin (KMO) sebesar 0,824 dan nilai Measure of Sampling Adequency (MSA) > 0,5, Total Variance Explained sebesar 4,033 dan 1,105 yang nilai Eigen Value > 1. Yang artinya dari 9 indikator terbentuk 2 komponen yang artinya memiliki 2 faktor yang mempengaruhi minat berwirausaha yaitu faktor intrinsik dan faktor ekstrinsik. Serta faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi minat berwirausaha adalah faktor instrinsik (faktor dari dalam). Kata Kunci: Minat Berwirausaha Mahasisw

Synthesis and studying the antitumor activity of novel 5-(2-methylbenzimidazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thiones

The influence of the incorporation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring into 2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole derivatives producing a series of substituted 5(6)-(2-methylbenzimidazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoles on the antitumor activity was studied in this study. The antitumor activity of the new compounds was tested against breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and lung cancer cell line A549. S-5-(2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl 2-nitrobenzenesulfonothioate (9) showed potent activity against both MCF-7 and A549 cell lines. Whereas, compounds 7, 11-13 and 15-17 have moderate growth inhibitory activity on the two cell lines

Characterizing farming systems around Kakamega Forest, Western Kenya, for targeting soil fertility–enhancing technologies

Kakamega district in Western Kenya represents the smallholder farming systems typical formuch of the densely populated humid highlands in East Africa. A specific feature, however, isthe presence of a protected forest reserve (Kakamega Forest National Park), covering some20% of the district area. Year-round crop production with little use of external inputs is resultingin declining soil fertility and crop yields. Technologies to counteract fertility constraints are rarelyimplemented, as they do not consider system diversity or farm-specific characteristics. Wesurmised that farm type–specific targeting of technology options to address soil fertility–relatedproduction constraints would reduce the anthropogenic pressure on the resources of the adja-cent Kakamega rainforest reserve. Based on Kenyan national census data, we selected 168farms in physical proximity of the Kakamega forest and characterized them regarding productionsystem and soil attributes. Cluster and principal component analyses identified five distinct farmcategories. Three representative farms from each cluster group were subsequently selected toestablish labor-use patterns, draw resource-flow maps, and determine NPK balances.Small subsistence-oriented farms were most common (> 50%), with maize yields of 0.9 t ha–1(Cluster 1). Most farmers relied on the forest to provide fire wood, animal feed, and medicinalplants. Mixed farms, combining subsistence maize with industrial crops, were differentiated bysoil type, with tea being grown on Ferralsol (Cluster 3), and sugar cane being grown on Acrisol(cluster 4). The dependence on forest resources was limited to animal grazing and the collectionof feed stuff (Cluster 3), or the extraction of medicinal plants (Cluster 4). Only few farms showeda high degree of market orientation of the food-crop production. These comprised either smallfarms with high investments in fertilizer and maize yields close to 2 t ha–1(Cluster 2), or largerfarms (1.6–3.9 ha) with low fertilizer but high hired-labor use (Cluster 5). Their reliance on forestresources was generally low. Resource flows showed mainly patterns of nutrient export in sub-sistence farms, and more complex flow patterns, involving several farm compartments, in thediversified farms. Partial nutrient balances were strongly negative for N and K, irrespective ofsoil or farm type. Soil-fertility characteristics reflected the nutrient balances with generally low Cand N in all farms on Acrisol, and low P in farms not applying mineral fertilizers or farmyard man-ure. The proposed typology is expected to improve the targeting of technologies addressing soilfertility–related production constraints, and to reduce the pressure on forest resources. This is ofparticular importance in the case of small-scale subsistence and mixed farms close to the forestmargin
