HUBUNGAN ADVERSITY QUOTIENT (AQ) DENGAN KEMANDIRIAN PADA REMAJA PERANTAU BATAK

Dalam kegiatan merantau, kebutuhan akan kemandirian sangatlah penting bagi remaja perantau Batak. Kemandirian merupakan kemampuan individu untuk dapat bebas melakukan dan mengatur segala aktivitasnya yang didasarkan atas dorongan diri sendiri tanpa terlalu bergantung kepada orang lain dengan mencakup komponen emosional, kognitif dan perilaku. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi kemandirian, salah satunya adversity quotient (AQ) yaitu kemampuan untuk menghadapi kesulitan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara AQ dengan kemandirian pada remaja perantau Batak. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif. Sampel pada penelitian ini berjumlah 70 orang remaja perantau Batak dengan menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh. Pengukuran terhadap kemandirian menggunakan SkalaKemandirian dari Anggriana (2005) yang terdiri dari 35 aitem dengan reabilitas sebesar 0,933. Sedangkan untuk mengukur AQ digunakan Adversity Response Profile (ARP) dari Stoltz (2005) yang terdiri dari 50 aitem dengan reabilitas sebesar 0,961. Teknik statistik yang digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis penelitian ini adalah analisis korelasi Pearson Product Moment. Koefisien korelasi antar keduanya adalah 0,669 (p <0,05) dengan signifikansi 0,00 (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif antara AQ dengan kemandirian. Dengan demikian, maka hipotesis penelitian ini diterima. Kata kunci: kemandirian, adversity quotient, remaja, perantau Bata

ASSESSMENT OF Parkia biglobosa LEAF MEAL AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR SOYBEAN MEAL IN BROILER CHICKEN DIETS

A six-week study was conducted to evaluate the potential of Parkia biglobosa leaf meal (PBLM) as a partial substitute for soybean meal in broiler chicken diets. A total of 120-day-old broiler chicks were allocated to four dietary treatments, each comprising 30 chicks, based on weight equalization. The study employed a completely randomized design with three replicates. Four diets were formulated, designated as diet 1 (0% PBLM - control), diet 2 (5% PBLM), diet 3 (10% PBLM), and diet 4 (15% PBLM). The growth performance parameters were significantly affected (P 0.05) among the treatment groups, although numerically higher were observed with increasing levels of PBLM in the diets. Liver function indicators were notably affected (P < 0.05) by the inclusion of leaf meal, showing improved values in chicks fed diets containing PBLM. With the exception of the 5% PBLM group, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels progressively decreased with increasing levels of PBLM in the diets, while the opposite trend was observed in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) values. The study suggests that PBLM can serve as an alternative protein source in broiler chicken diets, particularly at a low level of inclusion (5%), without compromising the performance and health of the birds

Natural resource exploitation in Western Sahara: new research directions

The authors wish to thank the Leverhulme Trust (through their Early Career scheme) and the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitivity, (CSO2017-86986-P, AEI/FEDER, UE) for funding this research. We would also like to thank Patricia Lalonde for her translations and editorial work, as well as all participants of the 'Analysis of the Management and Exploitation of Natural Resources in Situations of Conflict: The Case of Western Sahara' project (funded by the aforementioned ministry), for their constructive comments on earlier iterations of this paper.This review article provides an overview of research to date with an explicit focus on natural resource exploitation in Western Sahara. It integrates findings from various perspectives and disciplines, and synthesises the research done with a view to revealing gaps and, therefore, potential new research directions. As the issue of natural resource exploitation in Western Sahara has been conceptualised in very different ways and from the perspectives of a variety of disciplines, the authors have opted for a semi-systematic review of the work done encompassing academic, non-academic, and activist backgrounds.Leverhulme TrustSpanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitivity (AEI/FEDER, UE) CSO2017-86986-
