Nutrition and Fiber Fraction Analysis of Fermented Water Hyacinth Plants Using Various Probiotics as Alternative Beef Cattle Feed

Apart from being a bioaccumulator, several studies have also proven that water hyacinth has the potential to be an ingredient for animal feed and organic fertilizer because it contains amino acids and other nutritional elements. This research consists of 2 stages. The first stage is the effect of using several probiotics for fermented water hyacinth on nutritional quality and fiber fraction. The 4 types of probiotics used were liquid organic supplements (SOC), burger feed sauce (SBP), microbacter alfaafa 11 (MA-11), and effective microorganisms 4 (EM-4). The use of a liquid dose of each probiotic is 5 ml/1 kg of fresh water hyacinth. The second stage is the effect of the use of probiotic levels of SOC on the nutritional quality and fiber fraction of fermented water hyacinth. The levels of SOC probiotics used were 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml for every 1 kg of fresh water hyacinth ingredients.The use of 4 types of probiotics, namely SOC, SBP, MA-11 and EM-4, had a significantly affected in increasing the nutritional content of fresh water hyacinth ingredients, were the percentage of protein, the percentage of crude fat and the percentage of extracts without nitrogen. In this study, the 4 probiotics were able to reduce the fiber fraction, were acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, hemicellulosa, cellulose and lignin, and also changing the structure of the fiber fraction where the fresh water hyacinth material is a recommendation to be used as an alternative to beef cattle feed. The nutrient content and fiber fraction of the fermented water hyacinth is close to the nutrient content and fiber fraction of natural grasses. The increasing use of probiotic SOC levels will also increase the content of crude protein, crude fat and extracts without nitrogen from 5% to 15% SOC levels. In the fiber fraction, namely hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin in general, the results were significant only at the 5% level

Harakah dan Kemandirian Perempuan

Women have equal access to men in their role in society. The macro context, which is entirely different, has an impact on the problem of the interpretation of the Koran as a whole and specifically concerning the harakah and independence of women. The Koran does not say that all men have more advantages than all women. But the Koran says "some of you over others outperform". Some men excel over some women and vice versa. The view that expresses male superiority towards women and limits the need for women only to the domestic aspect should consider macro contexts in the past with their current macro context. To realize the dignity and independence of women and to preserve their rights, nature, and identity, women are required to be aware of their potential and prove their ability in the real world.Perempuan memiliki akses yang sama terhadap laki-laki dalam peran mereka dalam masyarakat. Konteks makro, yang sama sekali berbeda, berdampak pada masalah penafsiran Alquran secara keseluruhan dan khususnya mengenai harakah dan kemandirian perempuan. Alquran tidak mengatakan bahwa semua laki-laki memiliki kelebihan dari semua perempuan. Tapi Alquran mengatakan "sebagian dari Anda lebih baik dari yang lain". Beberapa laki-laki unggul atas beberapa perempuan dan sebaliknya. Pandangan yang mengekspresikan superioritas laki-laki terhadap perempuan dan membatasi kebutuhan perempuan hanya pada aspek domestik harus mempertimbangkan konteks makro di masa lalu dengan konteks makro mereka saat ini. Untuk mewujudkan martabat dan kemandirian perempuan dan untuk melestarikan hak-hak mereka, sifat, dan identitas, perempuan dituntut untuk menyadari potensi mereka dan membuktikan kemampuan mereka di dunia nyata

IMPROVEMENT OF ESTABLISHING METHOD IN NORMAL AND DWARF VARIETIES OF ELEPHANTGRASS FORAGE FIELD

Improvement of Establishing Method in Normal and Dwarf Varieties of Elephantgrass Forage Field. For determining the establishment method by transplanting nodal positions of tiller bud were compared in a normal (cv. Wruk wona) and two dwarf varieties (dwarf-early type, DE and dwarf-late type, DL) of Elephantgrasses. The position of tiller bud measured was odd number from 1 to 19 in Wr and DL by dividing into two nodes, and every number from 1 to 10 in DE by dividing into a single node because of a limited number of tiller buds per tiller. The order of internode dry matter weight (DMW) was larger in dwarf DE followed by normal Wr and dwarf DL. Percentage seedling emergency (PSE) was larger in dwarf varieties than normal Wr. Regrown tiller number (RTN) was larger in dwarf varieties than normal Wr, however, the position of that node number to that RTN was negatively relationship (

Dry matter productivity of the dwarf and normal elephantgrasses as affected by the planting density and cutting frequency

The effects of planting density and cutting frequency on dry matter productivity were compared in two years following establishment among dwarf varieties (early-heading, DE and late-heading, DL) and normal varieties, Wruk wona (Wr) and Merkeron (Me), in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan. The planting densities examined for Wr, DE and DL were high (16 plants/m2, 25 cm × 25 cm of spacing), medium (8 plants/m2, 50 × 25 cm), and low (4 plants/m2, 50 cm × 50 cm), while for Me was only medium. The cutting frequency was three times with 60-day intervals in 2002 and two times with 90-day intervals in 2003. Irrespective of the planting densities, dwarf varieties were higher in tiller number, leaf area index and percentage of leaf blade (PLB) than those of normal varieties, but lower in plant height and total dry matter weight at all planting densities in both years. With the increase in planting density, annual herbage dry matter yield (HDMY) increased. The annual HDMY was higher in 2002 (cut twice) than that in 2003 (cut three times), and the difference in annual HDMY between the dwarf and normal varieties decreased by planting at high density and cut twice. Even though, the dry matter productivity was higher in the normal varieties than in the dwarf varieties at any planting density and cutting frequency, DL tended to show a stable productivity with high PLB irrespective of planting density and cutting frequency.

THE FORMATION OF MIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA: A STUDY OF GOBIRAWA SETTLEMENTS NIGER STATE, NIGERIA

This paper seeks to highlight the establishment and growth of Gobirawa migrant community in Niger State, Nigeria. Beginning with a pioneer group of a few men in 1973, the migrants are now found in many rural areas in the state; some in wholly Gobirawa settlements, others living in Gwari-based communities. It is also the aim of the paper to discuss the occupational activities – both farming and non-farming – of the migrants. While it is re-affirms that farming remains their major occupation, some migrants do engage themselves in non-farming activities such as hunting and trading, most especially after farm harvest season. The paper concludes that migration of labour and humans as well as inter-group relations and cultural integration have been part of the history of Nigerian societies

Diamond turning of contact lens polymers

Contact lens production requires high accuracy and good surface integrity. Surface roughness is generally used to measure the index quality of a turning process. It has been an important response because it has direct influence toward the part performance and the production cost. Hence, choosing optimal cutting parameters will not only improve the quality measure but also the productivity. In this study, an ONSI-56 (Onsifocon A) contact lens buttons were used to investigate the triboelectric phenomena and the effects of turning parameters on surface finish of the lens materials. ONSI-56 specimens are machined by Precitech Nanoform Ultra-grind 250 precision machine and the roughness values of the diamond turned surfaces are measured by Taylor Hopson PGI Profilometer. Electrostatics values were measured using electrostatic voltmeter. An artificial neural network (ANN) and response surface (RS) model were developed to predict surface roughness and electrostatic discharge (ESD) on the turned ONSI-56. In the development of predictive models, turning parameters of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were considered as model variables. The required data for predictive models were obtained by conducting a series of turning test and measuring the surface roughness and ESD data. Good agreement is observed between the predictive models results and the experimental measurements. The ANN and RSM models for ONSI-56 are compared with each other using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for accuracy and computational cost

TEACHRER COACHING IN NIGERIA; A STRATEGY FOR ENHANCING TEACHERS’ INSTRUCTIONAL SKILLS AND STUDENTS' LANGUAGE SKILLS

In Nigeria, students’ poor language skills have been documented at the three levels (primary, secondary and tertiary) of education. One of the factors contributing to the problem is the poor teaching methods adopted by many teachers in their classrooms. Many teachers have little or no professional training. They are unaware of new approaches that have been proven effective in developing students’ language skills and learning outcome in general. Studies have shown that teacher coaching improves teachers’ instructional performance which in turn enhances students’ learning outcomes in many countries. However, there is a lack of teacher coaching program in Nigeria. Therefore, this paper reviews some previous studies which revealed the importance and effectiveness of teacher coaching in improving students’ learning output. It reviews some essential factors to be considered while designing effective teacher-coaching programs such as knowledge and skills for teacher coaching, responsibility for coaches, and coaching process, evaluation and other supports. The paper makes some recommendations on how to implement teacher coaching, particularly in Northern Nigeria in order to improve the students’ learning output. Finally, the paper has contributed in outlining essential requirements in designing effective teacher coaching strategies which include professional development of coaches, time allocated to teacher/coach interactions, establishment and maintenance of collaborative relationships between coaches and teachers, the constructive feedback and tools used during and between coaching sessions, the ratio of teachers to coaches (10:1) in urban and (5:1) rural areas, and regular visits that teachers receive from their coaches on a weekly and monthly basis

BUDGET ALLOCATION SENSITIVITY ON POVERTY IN INDONESIA

Budget allocations are integral components of an annual financial plan, or budget of government. They indicate the level of government resources committing to a department or program. Without allocation limits, expenditures can exceed revenues and result in financial shortfalls. The purpose of this research is to measure and analyze the budget allocation sensitivity towards poverty and also analyze the relationship between the sensitive variables and the poverty. This study use 33 province level of data in Indonesia and realization of APBD in 2015. The method applied in this study is the multiple linear regression analysis. The result shows that budget allocation on environment, peace order, public services, social protection sector do not have significant effect toward poverty, while budget allocation sector economy, education, health, housing public facilities, tourism and culture have significant effect on poverty.
