Eksplorasi Motif Ukir Kayu Toraja dengan Teknik Laser pada Bahan Kulit

Melalui karya ini, penulis belajar tentang salah satu kekayaan produk Indonesia yaitu motif Toraja.Motif ukir Toraja ini akan diimplementasikan pada materi kulit dikombinasi dengan bahan kanvas dan bahan sintetis. Apabila sebelumnya motif ukir Toraja diaplikasikan pada kayu, penulis bermaksud memperluas pemanfaatan motif ukir Toraja pada materi kulit.Mengingat motif ukir kayu Toraja sangat beragam, penulis memilih menggunakan hanya sembilan motif saja. Motif-motif ini akan melalui proses modifikasi tanpa meninggalkan bentuk aslinya sama sekali. Penggabungan berbagai motif akan menghasilkan pola yang kemudian akan diaplikasikan pada kulit untuk menghasilkan aksen yang unik pada produk. Eksplorasi tersebut akan diaplikasikan pada produk tas dengan warna-warna natural ditujukan bagi kaum muda usia 17 sampai 25 tahun. Adapun empat desain tas yang disajikan adalah Tote Bag, Laptop Bag, Clutch Bag dan Satchel Bag

Kajian Kelayakan Operasional Rumah Pemotongan Hewan (Rph) Oeba Pemerintah Kota Kupang Nusa Tenggara Timur Dalam Menghasilkan Daging Dengan Kualitas Asuh

Based on the result of Rohyati,et al (2007), the RPH Oeba did not fulfill 82,78% of complex and operational requirements or only meet 19.25% to those standards in producing meat with ASUH quality (Safe, hygiene, Wholesome, and Halal). Through this article, the writer tried to analyze about the appropriate level of operational activity of RPH Oeba in meat producing with ASUH quality. Some of operational in the slaughterhouse that not fulfilled those standards are: No attention for workers hygiene and animal welfare, all operational using of non-hygiene water, using nonstandardized equipments, not appropriate based on Islamic rules, skinning and carcass handling were not done properly, slaughtering process was not following the direction of stream production, “Clean and dirty” operational activities were located in the same areas, ante mortem and postmortem inspection were not done, sick animal and productive female were also slaughtered, sick animal was not isolated in quarantine pen

STRATEGI PEMBEMBANGAN USAHA MIKRO BERBASIS “BALANCED SCORECARD” DI KOTA KUPANG

Upaya pengembangan usaha mikro yang dilakukan oleh perempuan ini menjadi penting, karena perempuan mempunyai kendala-kendala tertentu yang berkaitan dengan “tripple burden of women”, dimana mereka menjalankan fungsi reproduksi, produksi, dan fungsi sosial di masyarakat.  Salah satu kegagalan adalah kurangnya pengetahuan tentang bagaimana cara memisahkan pembukuan konsumsi dan usaha mikro serta kurang percaya diri terhadap kemampuan yang dimilikinya. Usaha mikro tergolong jenis usaha marginal, yang antara lain ditunjukkan oleh penggunaan teknologi yang relatif sederhana, tingkat modal dan kadang akses terhadap kredit yang rendah, serta cenderung berorientasi pada pasar lokal. Disamping itu, usaha mikro mampu memberdayakan kaum perempuan dalam meningkatkan bargaining position perempuan dan keluarga. Untuk itu peneliti tertarik melakukan kajian dengan judul “strategi pembembangan usaha mikro berbasis “balanced scorecard” di Kota Kupang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mencapai tujuan-tujuan sebagai berikut : Mengidentifikasi potensi  kekuatan dan kelemahan Usaha Mikro Penjahit di Kota Kupang, menganalisis strategi pengembangan usaha mikro Penjahit berbasis “balanced scorecard” di Kota Kupang dan merancang model strategi pengembangan usaha mikro Penjahit berbasis “balanced scorecard” di Kota Kupang. Lingkup penelitian ini mencakup potensi usaha mikro Penjahit yang diharapkan menjadi lokomotif dalam pengembangan ekonomi daerah di Kota Kupang. Hasil penelitian bahwa Penentuan posisi perusahaan didasarkan pada analisis total skor faktor internal dan faktor eksternal. Dengan menggunakan model Internal-Eksternal Matrik yakni nilai total skor IFAS = 4.25 dan EFAS = 4.70 tampak bahwa strategi yang sesuai bagi para penjahit perempuan di Kota Kupang adalah strategi tidak berubah/strategi laba. Upaya penguatan usaha mikro (UPUM) dapat diwujudkan dalam berbagai jenis kegiatan, antara lain: permodalan melalui pemberian kredit, pelatihan, pendampingan dan fasilitator, bantuan teknis dan konsultasi, penyediaan informasi, penelitian dan monitoring dan evaluasi. Saran: Dalam memberikan pinjaman dan bantuan hibah kepada usaha mikro perlu secara cermat memperhatikan kebutuhan usaha mikro dan siapa saja yang layak menerima pinjaman dan bantuan baik teknis maupun non teknis

IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM INFORMASI DATA PELAKU USAHA PERIKANAN BUDIDAYA PADA DINAS PERIKANAN KOTA KUPANG

In 2022, the number of aquaculture business actors in the Kupang City Fisheries Service are 649 people, divided into 55 groups of business actors with 566 members and 83 individual business actors. Data processing for aquaculture business actors operated through Microsoft Office Excel (Ms. Excel) is not optimal because several obstacles frequently encountered, namely duplication of data, difficulty calculating the number of business actors, Large amounts of data are difficult to summarize because they are scattered across multiple Excel files, making it difficult for officers to create data reports on aquaculture business actors. Therefore, this study aims to create a system to assist officers in managing data on aquaculture business actors. The method used in this research is the Waterfall method because the advantage is that the quality of the resulting system will be good. After all, the implementation is carried out in stages. This system generates group data reports, business actor data, business data, pond data, production data, business registration data, training data, and histograms of the number of business actors based on gender, the number of businesses receiving Business Cards for Marine and Fisheries (KUSUKA), the number of businesses per nameplate group, the number of business actors per district, the number of businesses per district and the summary score of the number of aquaculture business actors. The results of black box testing conducted by three respondents to 12 menus show that all functional systems function as expected.Pelaku usaha perikanan budidaya pada Dinas perikanan kota Kupang tahun 2022 tercatat sebanyak 649 orang yang terbagi dalam 55 kelompok pelaku usaha dengan 566 anggota dan 83 pelaku usaha perorangan. Proses pengolahan data pelaku usaha perikanan budidaya yang dioperasikan melalui Microsofts Office Excel (Ms. Excel) belum optimal karena sering ditemukan beberapa kendala yaitu terjadinya duplikat data, sulit menghitung jumlah seluruh pelaku usaha,  sulit merekap data dalam jumlah yang banyak karena data yang disimpan tersebar dalam beberapa file excel sehingga menyulitkan petugas untuk pembuatan laporan data pelaku usaha perikanan budidaya. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini membuat sebuah sistem untuk membantu petugas dalam mengelola data pelaku usaha perikanan budidaya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode Waterfall karena kelebihannya adalah kualitas dari sistem yang dihasilkan akan baik karena pelaksanaannya dilakukan secara bertahap. Sistem ini menghasilkan laporan data kelompok, data pelaku usaha, data usaha, data kolam data bantuan, data produksi, data tanda usaha, data pelatihan, dan histogram jumlah pelaku usaha berdasarkan jenis kelamin, jumlah usaha penerima Kartu Pelaku Usaha Bidang Kelautan Dan Perikanan (KUSUKA), jumlah usaha per papan nama kelompok, jumlah pelaku usaha per kecamatan, jumlah usaha per kecamatan dan skor rangkuman jumlah pelaku usaha perikanan budidaya. Hasil pengujian black box yang dilakukan oleh 3 responden terhadap 12 menu menunjukkan bahwa semua fungsional sistem berfungsi sesuai dengan yang diharapkan

Detection of 1014F kdr mutation in four major Anopheline malaria vectors in Indonesia

Background: Malaria is a serious public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in areas outside Java and Bali. The spread of resistance to the currently available anti-malarial drugs or insecticides used for mosquito control would cause an increase in malaria transmission. To better understand patterns of transmission and resistance in Indonesia, an integrated mosquito survey was conducted in three areas with different malaria endemicities, Purworejo in Central Java, South Lampung District in Sumatera and South Halmahera District in North Mollucca.\ud Methods: Mosquitoes were collected from the three areas through indoor and outdoor human landing catches (HLC) and indoor restinging catches. Specimens were identified morphologically by species and kept individually in 1.5 ml Eppendorf microtube. A fragment of the VGSC gene from 95 mosquito samples was sequenced and kdr allelic variation determined.\ud Results: The molecular analysis of these anopheline mosquitoes revealed the existence of the 1014F allele in 4 major malaria vectors from South Lampung. These species include, Anopheles sundaicus, Anopheles aconitus, Anopheles subpictus\ud andAnopheles vagus. The 1014F allele was not found in the other areas.\ud Conclusion: The finding documents the presence of this mutant allele in Indonesia, and implies that selection pressure on the Anopheles population in this area has occurred. Further studies to determine the impact of the resistance allele on the efficacy of pyrethroids in control programmes are neede

Relationships between anopheline mosquitoes and topography in West Timor and Java, Indonesia

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Malaria is a serious health issue in Indonesia. Mosquito control is one aspect of an integrated malaria management programme. To focus resources on priority areas, information is needed about the vectors and their habitats. This research aimed to identify the relationship between anopheline mosquitoes and topography in West Timor and Java.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Study areas were selected in three topographic types in West Timor and Java. These were: coastal plain, hilly (rice field) and highland. Adult mosquitoes were captured landing on humans identified to species level and counted.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Eleven species were recorded, four of which were significant for malaria transmission: <it>Anopheles aconitus, Anopheles barbirostris, Anopheles subpictus </it>and <it>Anopheles sundaicus</it>. Each species occupied different topographies, but only five were significantly associated: <it>Anopheles annularis, Anopheles vagus </it>and <it>Anopheles subpictus </it>(Java only) with hilly rice fields; <it>Anopheles barbirostris, Anopheles maculatus </it>and <it>Anopheles subpictus </it>(West Timor only) with coastal areas.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Information on significant malaria vectors associated with specific topography is useful for planning the mosquito control aspect of malaria management.</p

The dominant Anopheles vectors of human malaria in the Asia-Pacific region: occurrence data, distribution maps and bionomic précis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The final article in a series of three publications examining the global distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria is presented here. The first publication examined the DVS from the Americas, with the second covering those species present in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Here we discuss the 19 DVS of the Asian-Pacific region. This region experiences a high diversity of vector species, many occurring sympatrically, which, combined with the occurrence of a high number of species complexes and suspected species complexes, and behavioural plasticity of many of these major vectors, adds a level of entomological complexity not comparable elsewhere globally. To try and untangle the intricacy of the vectors of this region and to increase the effectiveness of vector control interventions, an understanding of the contemporary distribution of each species, combined with a synthesis of the current knowledge of their behaviour and ecology is needed.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Expert opinion (EO) range maps, created with the most up-to-date expert knowledge of each DVS distribution, were combined with a contemporary database of occurrence data and a suite of open access, environmental and climatic variables. Using the Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) modelling method, distribution maps of each DVS were produced. The occurrence data were abstracted from the formal, published literature, plus other relevant sources, resulting in the collation of DVS occurrence at 10116 locations across 31 countries, of which 8853 were successfully geo-referenced and 7430 were resolved to spatial areas that could be included in the BRT model. A detailed summary of the information on the bionomics of each species and species complex is also presented.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>This article concludes a project aimed to establish the contemporary global distribution of the DVS of malaria. The three articles produced are intended as a detailed reference for scientists continuing research into the aspects of taxonomy, biology and ecology relevant to species-specific vector control. This research is particularly relevant to help unravel the complicated taxonomic status, ecology and epidemiology of the vectors of the Asia-Pacific region. All the occurrence data, predictive maps and EO-shape files generated during the production of these publications will be made available in the public domain. We hope that this will encourage data sharing to improve future iterations of the distribution maps.</p
