Queen Anne Commands: clothing the kettle drummer to the Ordnance 1706-1709

The account books of the Board of Ordnance in the National Archives list the provisions made to the Ordnance, including clothing, and offer a wonderful insight into uniform provided to the soldiers serving with this branch of the military at time of the War of the Spanish Succession. Through a series of accounts dating from 1706 to 1708 this paper demonstrates how one position under the control of the Board of Ordnance, that of the kettle drummer, was ostentatious in the extreme requiring ninety yards of gold lace. The article will relate his clothing to clothing provided to other soldiers, and show how his clothes reflected the high status of the kettle drummer

KETERSEDIAAN VEGETASI PADA KORIDOR JALAN NGESREP BANYUMANIK

Setiap harinya intensitas pergerakan pengguna jalan di koridor Jalan Ngesrep ini bertambah tinggi dikarenakan aktivitas yang terdapat di sepanjang koridor jalan ini beragam seperti pemukiman penduduk dan perdaganggan jasa. Berkurangnya luas lahan ruang terbuka hijau untuk ketersediaan vegetasi di sepanjang koridor Jalan Ngesrep menjadi nilai estetika koridor tersebut berkurang. Ketersediaan vegetasi yang berperan penting dalam efektivitas fungsi ruang terbuka hijau selain berfungsi sebagai nilai estetika juga bermanfaat menyerap polusi udara. Kurangnya jumlah ketersediaan vegetasi pada koridor JalanNgesrep terkait dengan kurangnya proporsi kawasan yang dialokasikan untuk ruang terbuka dan menyebabkan menjadi rendah, menurunnya tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat dan secara langsung menyebabkan menurunnya nilai estetika hijau lingkungan serta sarana cadangan air tanah ikut serta menurun. Untuk memenuhi ketersediaan vegetasi pada koridor Jalan Ngesrep yang fungsional dan ekologis pada suatu sistem perkotaan diperlukan adanya pengelolaan yang komprehensif dari bebagai pihak yaitu pemerintah, swsata, dan masyarakat

Pengaruh kombinasi dosis dan waktu aplikasi herbisida metamifop terhadap pengendalian gulma, pertumbuhan dan hasil tanamam padi (Oryza sativa L.) Dengan sistem tanam benih langsung

Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan di Limau Manis, Kecamatan Batang Kapas, Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, Sumatera Barat dari bulan Juni sampai Oktober 2021. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kombinasi dosis herbisida metamifop dan waktu aplikasi terhadap pengendalian gulma, pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman padi sistem tanam benih langsung. Metode penelitian berbentuk percobaan lapangan dengan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK). Faktor yang digunakan adalah pemberian kombinasi dosis herbisida berbahan aktif metamifop dan waktu aplikasi yang terdiri dari 13 perlakuan yaitu tanpa perlakuan, metamifop dosis 1.000 ml/Ha pada 6 HST, metamifop dosis 1.000 ml/Ha pada 10 HST, metamifop dosis 1.000 ml/Ha pada 14 HST, metamifop dosis 1.000 ml/Ha pada 18 HST, mrtamifop dosis 1.250 ml/Ha pada 6 HST, metamifop dosis 1.250 ml/Ha pada 10 HST, metamifop dosis 1.250 ml/Ha pada 14 HST, metamifop dosis, 1.250 ml/Ha 18 HST, metamifop dosis 1.500 ml/Ha pada 6 HST, metamifop dosis 1.500 ml/Ha pada 10 HST, metamifop dosis 1.500 ml/Ha pada 14 HST dan metamifop dosis 1.500 ml/Ha pada 18 HST. Data dianalisis dengan uji F dan apabila F hitung berbeda nyata dilanjutkan dengan uji lanjut Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) pada taraf 5%. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan pemberian herbisida metamifop dengan dosis 1.000 ml/Ha yang diberikan pada 10-14 HST lebih efektif dalam mengendalikan gulma dan meningkatkan hasil padi sistem tanam benih langsung

WILL CONTINUED ECONOMIC GROWTH BRING EVER GREATER HARM TO THE EARTH’S ENVIRONMENT?: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

Pertumbuhan ekonomi telah lama menjadi orientasi dominan dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan di hampir seluruh negara di bumi raya ini. Namun demikian, orang tidak dapat mengingkari bahwa kian hari, kian lama, udara yang mereka hirup semakin tak segar, suhu bumi makin tak menentu, dan makin berkurang kekayaan sumber daya alam sebagai sarana produksi. Kesadaran ini akhirnya melahirkan kepedulian akan pembangunan yang memperhatikan lingkungan hidup sekitar. Seiring dengan peningkatan kepedulian orang akan kualitas lingkungan hidup, para ekonom mulai merancang dan merumuskan konsep, teori maupun model, yang menjelaskan hubungan antara kualitas lingkungan hidup dan pembangunan ekonomi.  Tulisan ini menjelaskan dampak pembangunan ekonomi terhadap kualitas lingkungan hidup. Hipotesis Kuznets mengatakan bahwa pada pada awal upaya pertumbuhan ekonomi, kualitas lingkungan hidup akan menurun tetapi lambat laun akan meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan aktivitas ekonomi. Persoalannya adakah dukungan empiris atas hipotesis tersebut? Selain memaparkan tentang perdebatan teori di kalangan ekonom mengenai keterkaitan antara pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kualitas lingkungan hidup, tulisan ini menampilkan pula studi-studi empiris di beberapa negara yang menguji hipotesis Kuznet tersebut

Risk of reconviction among offenders who commence the Blacktown Traffic Offender Program

This paper examines the profile of offenders who commenced the Blacktown Traffic Offender Program between 1994 and 2011 and investigates which factors predict re-offending. Method: Descriptive statistics were used to examine the profile of program participants. Logistic regression models were used to determine which participant characteristics were associated with an increased risk of reconviction (for any offence and any traffic offence). Results: Fifteen per cent of participants committed a new offence in the 2 years following program commencement, and 11 per cent committed a further traffic offence. Being male, aged between 16 and 20 years, Indigenous, having a prior criminal record, and having 3 or more concurrent offences were all associated with an increased risk of being convicted for any further offence. Being aged between 16 and 20 years, living in more disadvantaged areas, having a prior criminal record, and having 3 or more concurrent offences were associated with an increased likelihood of being convicted for a new traffic offence. Approximately two-thirds of offenders who present with 4 or more risk factors go on to commit any new offence and one-third commit a new traffic offence. Conclusion: Results suggests that certain individual characteristics indicate an elevated risk of reconviction for any further offence, and further traffic offences in the 2 years following commencement of the Blacktown Traffic Offender Program. Offenders who present with multiple (4 or more) risk factors are at significantly greater risk of reconviction

Has the pandemic killed the gym?

After the closure of all gyms back in March due to the Covid-19 crisis, there was good news for gym fanatics last month when fitness centres were allowed to reopen. But after months of no gym, and many of us enjoying exercise from our own homes and surrounding areas without having to pay to take part, do people still have the time, motivation and most importantly, money, to keep fit

Funeral Planning: British Involvement in the Funeral of President Jomo Kenyatta

The funeral of Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first president, offers revealing evidence of the intimacy and depth of Britain’s continuing relationship with this former colony 15 years after independence. First approached by leading Kenyans for assistance in planning the funeral in 1968, British policymakers willingly became involved, and continued low-level preparations for this over the following decade. When Kenyatta finally died, in 1978, British advice and planning lay behind the central elements of a funeral which incoming president Daniel arap Moi used to publicly demonstrate his succession. Yet the story of the funeral also shows that the relationship was sometimes incoherent and drew on multiple, sometimes cross-cutting, personal ties and institutional links, both political and military; neither the funeral itself nor Kenya’s politics worked to a script written by British officials.This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council under grant number AHU/AHRC2011/000180788, and by an award from the Royal Historical Society
