POLITIK GENDER DI RANAH MINANG: Institusi, Gagasan dan Kepentingan

This article is aimed at investigating government’s effort to mainstream gender in all their policy and programusing political economy approach. Despite the fact that Indonesian government has issued several regulationand established organizational support for gender mainstreaming, it is nevertheless not well-functioning atlocal level. Various local contexts have contributed to this ineffective policy. The idea that local tradition hasput women on the top of noble position has become an excuse to not seriously pushing mainstreaming agendaby local key decision maker. At organizational level, lack of knowledge and incentive to implement gendermainstreaming either in policy or program, are the reasons why government institutions do not buy-in theidea at practical level

Submersible Compressor to Enhance Gas Production at The Gas Field

Over the next 20 years, the role of natural gas in global energy consumption will increase. The speed of transition to natural gas will be driven by environmental issue, market demand and latest technology. This project is about developing a technological solution for the oil and gas industry's recognized problem of maximizing gas extraction from the gas field by trialing the technology which will increase production. The objectives of this study are to identify an option to boost the gas production and to maintain the pressure at the base of the well by means to prevent the problem of liquid loading by developing the submersible compressor. Submersible Compressor helps to maintain the well energy to lift the gas to the surface by maintaining the pressure differential between the well and surface. The submersible compressor is used in multiple stage compression modes. Scope of study includes the drawing of full scale submersible compressor by using CATIA & AUTOCAD then exported to GAMBIT and FLUENT for subsequence analysis. The results of the analysis consist of discharge pressure and velocity of the compressor. The main target is to increase the discharge pressure so that the pressure differential between well and surface increased

Dramatizing Local History: Its Effects on Stimulating the Students’ English Performance.

Drama is one of the widest approaches used in the periodic development of English teaching in the world. Drama engages more of the important aspects of speaking as part of language function in linguistics. In his journal, Rasmussen (2010) stated that when we speak of quality in drama education, we apply different educational and aesthetic criteria. For example, improvised drama practices such as process drama are closely associated to Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive constructivism. Jean Piaget's research into educational theory is called cognitive constructivism. Piaget postulated that students should be guided through creative exploration as the focus of their educational journey. Students should create or construct their knowledge, and the classroom should be a place where tools and resources are made available to catalyze the process. Piaget believed that teachers should insist on less memorization and more exploration and personal investigation as the foundation of educational progress. The research was conducted during the second academic year, the students in second semester with 20 students who enrolled in English speaking II courses at Muhammadiyah Institution in Bone. By reporting from a case of drama teaching and research, I examine how constructivist thinking affects the dramatization of local history to stimulate the students’ English performance. I focused on the constructivism theory, particularly the collaborative interaction and development aspects. Experiential forms of drama are valued as potential models for constructivist education that have implication for creating active learning, dramatic learning, engaging students in learning, speaking intension, collaborative learning, and building community as the goal of the research.

Gender policies of the new developmental state: the case of Indonesian new participatory village governance

This article shows how the Indonesian new developmental state addresses gender equality and women's empowerment in its effort to institutionalise a participatory approach in the state bureaucracy. It pays attention to the way the new developmental ideology has shaped participatory governance policy as an instrument of village development instead of deepening democracy and reworking the structure of traditional gender relations. Utilising qualitative data and a longitudinal monitoring study, this article argues that the new policy of participatory village governance has a narrow focus on village economy and infrastructure and ignores more sensitive issues, such as transforming the traditional gender structures

Geoelectrical characterization for liquefaction at coastal zone in South Aceh

The paper presents a case study of liquefaction investigation, carried out in an area of the South Aceh coast. The zone lies on low flat plain at Tanjung Harapan Village, west coast of Aceh. The process of site investigation is controlled by: occurrence of groundwater, nature of bedrock, and presence of clays. Prediction of liquefaction zones in high seismicity regions will be a great help to mitigate hazards. Geoelectric resistivity using a combination both vertical electrical sounding and horizontal resistivity images of Wenner-Schlumberger configuration have been carried out and can be of help to delineate the liquefaction zones. With this backdrop, it believe that in conjunction with soil and sediment characteristics indicating high susceptibility to liquefaction, and resistivity anomalies will provide vital information to predict and identify the liquefaction zones. Results of this study revealed the surface layer consists of loose sediments, sandy clay, and silty sandy layer are potentially liquefied during earthquake. The 2-D model sections at 10 m electrode spacing were described, together with subsurface structures can be used to predict the resistivity values at a approximately 48 m dept
