Development of bambangan (Mangifera pajang) carbonated drink

Mangifera pajang Kostermans or bambangan is a popular fruit among Sabahan due to its health and economic values. However, the fruit is not fully commercialized since it is usually been used as traditional cuisine by local people. Thus, development of bambangan fruit into carbonated drink was conducted to produce new product concept. The objectives of this study were to conceptualize, formulate, evaluate consumer acceptance, and determine physicochemical properties and nutritional composition of the accepted product. Method used in conceptualising the product was based on questionnaire. The consumer acceptance was evaluated based on descriptive and affective tests with four product formulations tested. The physicochemical properties on carbon dioxide volume, colour, pH, total acidity, total soluble solid (TSS) and viscosity were highlighted, meanwhile nutritional composition on fat, protein, carbohydrates and energy content were determined. About 77% respondents gave positive feedback, and 69% respondents decided this product is within their budget. The formulation of 5% bambangan pulp, 70% water, 25% sugar and 0.2% citric acid was highly accepted in descriptive and affective tests with 4.4 and 6.39 mean scores, respectively. The physicochemical properties and nutritional composition of the acceptance product were in optimum value except for colour, total acidity and TSS. Overall, this study showed that the product has high potential to be commercialized as new product concept, and heritage of indigenous people can be preserved when this fruit is known regionally

Proses internalisasi yang dialami oleh nelayan terjadi di wilayah tempat tinggal dimana orang tua, kyai, dan tetangga menjadi agennya. Sedangkan di wilayah tempat kerja, elit nelayan seperti pemilik perahu dan juraghan menjadi agennya. Selanjutnya terjadi proses eksternalisasi sebagai hasil dari internalisasi yang dialami oleh masing-masing nelayan. Bentuk eksternalisasi yang dilakukan oleh nelayan adalah melakukan nyabis dengan mendatangi ulama dengan tujuan mencari barokah atau dengan mendatangi dukun atau paranormal dengan tujuan mendapatkan rejeki

Measuring Efficiency of Islamic Banks: Evidence From Indonesia

The present study investigates the efficiency of Islamic banks in Indonesia particularly for the period of 2014-2015. To meet that objective, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) particularly input-oriented, variable return to scale (VRS) has been employed. Additionally, twelve full-fledge Islamic commercial banks are included as the sample of the study. Having analysed using the DEA model, we find the average technical efficiency score of Islamic banks in 2014 is 0.843. In this regard, the inefficiency of Islamic banks is attributed equally to pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Moreover, the average technical efficiency score of Islamic banks for the year of 2015 is 0.832 which is lower than the previous year. The inefficiency of Islamic banks in 2015 is mainly contributed by the scale inefficiency. Moreover, the results reveal a declining productivity of Islamic banks during the period of study

Transferring knowledge through lectures activities are often experience constraints, one of them is that there is no adequate source of learning materials available. The research aimed todevelop a teaching materials of biotechnology course which is suited to the students' necessary. The method used was 4Ddevelopment model which was adopted from Thiagarajan, et al (1974). The model contains four stages, i.e. define, design, develop, and deploy. Data collection techniques was using validation questionnaires for experts, individual test and small-scale trials. Data analysis results show that the average results of validation and testing were categorized as “eligible” with “good”predicate , based on the Eligibility Level Criteria and Product Revise table.
