Aksesibilitas Petani Bawang Merah terhadap Lembaga Keuangan Mikro sebagai Sumber Pembiayaan

Microfinance institutions (MFIs) is an institution conducting the provision of financial services to micro and small entrepreneurs including shallot farmers. This study aims to determine the accessi­bility and the influencing factors of farmer\u27s decisions in determining the source of financing for shallot business sustainability. The study was conducted in Bantul as the centre production of shallot in DIY Two hundred and five of farmers (205 persons) as microfinance client taken randomly, were interviewed and observed in collecting primary data, and then analyzed using Multinomial Logit Model. Farmers group is the microfinance institution that the most accessible for farmers to access short­term credit scheme (seasonal). The farmers can defer the payment to the next season in case the crop failure, while the farmers perceive that the administrative procedures is simple. Tne education level of farmers, the farming experience, the number of family members, the frequency of credit, the farmers\u27 perception about MFI services, the total income, and the amount of credits are the factors that influence the decisions of farmers in the selection of the MFI as source of business finance

Minat Konsumen terhadap Beras Organik di Daerah Istimewa YOGYAKARTA dan Jawa Tengah

Various cases of food poisoning has caused people to more selective in choosing food by taking into account the health and food safety. Consumer awareness and preferences towards healthy food has resulted an increasing on consumption of organic food. This study aims to explain the consumer perceptions of organic rice, and its effect on consumer buying interest. The study was conducted by analized and interviewed 120 respondents. The binomial logit regression analysis was applied to explain the influence of consumer\u27s perception on agricultural products. This research shows the consumers of organic rice come from various groups of people, most of them are from fixed-income consumer, high level of education, and small size family. Consumers of organic rice has a high concern on their family, has a perception on high level of purity, and has high concern on the health of agricultural environment. However, consumers perception on organic farming practices was in moderate category. Organic agricultural products are still perceived as a high price product. Consumer interest on consuming organic rice would increase due to an increasing on consumer concerns on the family, perception of purity, concern on agriculture environmental health, and perception of the practice of organic farming

Efek Pemberian Ekstrak Etanol Akar Kolesom (Talinum Triangulare Willd) Terhadap Spermatogenesis Tikus Putih

In Indonesia infertility is still a problem for married couples, because 10-15% of married couples suffer from infertility. Infertility can be caused by the husband and wife, but in reality 40-60% are caused by the husband. Data infertility based on analysis of cement, which is one important way to determine the level of male fertility. Cement circumstances that can cause infertility, among others, the less the number of spermatozoa, sperm motility is low, the velocity of spermatozoa and so on. Kolesom (Talinum triangulare Willd) can increase the number and motility of spermatozoa and to increase testosterone levels. The study aims to determine the effect of kolesom root extract on spermatogenesis of male Wistar rats. The effect of kolesom root extract on spermatogenesis using the WHO (2000) with animal white mouse. 225 doses of ethanol extract; 675 and 2025 mg / kg. administered orally for 45 days. Distilled water as a control and comparative dosage Korean Ginseng 225 mg / kg. The results of the study, kolesom extract doses 225; 675 and 2025 mg / kg BB given for 45 days did not lose reproductive organ testis and epididymis can still increase the number of A spermatogonia, pachytene stage primary spermatocytes and the diameter of seminiferous

Evaluasi Prasyarat Keberhasilan Sistem Resi Gudang di Kabupaten Bantul

During 2011-2016, there was a decreasing trend of warehouse receipt sistem (WRS) transactions in Bantul regency and the participants of the WRS came from a small part of the districts. This condition indicated that there was an unfulfilled prerequisites for success of the WRS. This study aims to identify the role of stakeholders in the implementation of WRS and evaluate the prerequisites for success of WRS in Bantul regency. The research was conducted by in-depth interviews to stakeholders of the WRS. Data analysis was done using descriptive method. The result showed that stakeholders that have a big role in increasing warehouse receipts transactions were warehouse manager and department of trade. The increasing of production was a prerequisite that reinforces the existence of WRS in Bantul regency. The success of the WRS were depends on two prerequisite of the commitment of local government and education and socialization to farmers. These findings indicate the need for the local governments to supports programs related to WRS and to intensify the dissemination of WRS to farmers in potential villages

Uji Kepekaan Bakteri Yang Diisolasi Dari Urin Penderita Infeksi Saluran Kemih (Isk) Terhadap Beberapa Antibiotika Pada Periode Maret–juni 2008

Urinary tract infections (UTI) was an inflammatory response of the urethra whenattacked by microorganisms. This disease can happen to people at all ages beginningwith asymptomatic to moderately symptomatic infections. Thus far, antibiotic treat-ment was the best for curing the UTI although the chances for being resistance tothe antibiotics were also high. Resistance to gram negative bacteri,a in particular,often occur with the antibiotics treatment. Our study at the Faculty of Medicine,University of Indonesia (UI), Bacterial isolation from patient urine sample wasperformed in the microbiology laboratory of UI. A total of 50 urine samples werecollected from X patients volunteered in our study for bacterial isolation, however,only 23 bacterial isolates were successfully obtained. Study was carried out to moni-tor the susceptibility of bacterial isolate towards several types of antibiotics (ofloksazim,amoxyicillin, fosfomisin and sefepim) using Cakram disffusion method. Study re-sults demonstrated that susceptibility of oflokazim to both gram positive and nega-tive bacteria was very low while amoxycillin showed desecding trend of efficacytowards all types of bacteria. Fosfomisin and sefepim, on the other hand, demon-strated strong susceptibility to both gram positive and negative bacteria found in theisolates. Furthermore, it is very interesting to observe ofloksazim was resistant to gram postivie and negative bacteria. Collectively, these research findings stronglyillustrated the susceptibility patten and resistance scale of baterial isolates towards various antibiotic tested in the study

The Debris Particles Analysis of Rsg Gas Coolant to Anticipate Sediment Induced Corrosion

THE DEBRIS PARTICLES ANALYSIS OF RSG-GAS COOLANT TO ANTICIPATE SEDIMENT-INDUCED CORROSION. The reliability of the structures, systems and components (SSC) of the G.A. Siwabessy Multipurpose Research Reactor (RSG-GAS) should be maintained to keep the reactor operates safely. Chemical control and management of coolant is one factor which determines the SSC's reliability. The debris sedimentation in the primary coolant system must be examined. Debris occurs in the reactor pool, originating from airborne dust from the engineering hall. Several elements contained by the sediment can induce corrosion. This research was conducted to identify the trace elements which were contained in the sediments and determine their concentrations. The objective was to anticipate the occurrence of galvanic and pitting corrosion due to the presence of elements which are more noble than aluminum. The measurement methodology is Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA). Two groups of samples were analyzed; the first group was sampled from the debris trapped in the mechanical filter after the resin column, or known as the resin trap, and second was sampled from the debris which adhered to the heat exchanger tube. The primary coolant debris analysis showed that the neutron-activated sediment contained Na-24, Na-25, Al-28, Mg-27, Cr-51, Mn-54, Mn-56, Co-58, Co-60, Ni-65, and Fe-59. The Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, and Fe are more noble than aluminum can induce galvanic corrosion while Na, Ba, Al, and Mg are not. The radionuclides contained by the result of neutron activation of sediment from the heat exchanger tube are Mn-56, Na-24, As-76, Br-82, Fe-59, Zn-65, Cr-51, La-140, and Sc-46 which are mostly carbon steel corrosion products. Those elements do not initiate galvanic corrosion. The prevention of galvanic corrosion can be done by periodic maintenance

Tree species that 'live slow, die older' enhance tropical peat swamp restoration : Evidence from a systematic review

Degraded tropical peatlands lack tree cover and are often subject to seasonal flooding and repeated burning. These harsh environments for tree seedlings to survive and grow are therefore challenging to revegetate. Knowledge on species performance from previous plantings represents an important evidence base to help guide future tropical peat swamp forest (TPSF) restoration efforts. We conducted a systematic review of the survival and growth of tree species planted in degraded peatlands across Southeast Asia to examine (1) species differences, (2) the impact of seedling and site treatments on survival and growth and (3) the potential use of plant functional traits to predict seedling survival and growth rates. Planted seedling monitoring data were compiled through a systematic review of journal articles, conference proceedings, reports, theses and unpublished datasets. In total, 94 study-sites were included, spanning three decades from 1988 to 2019, and including 141 indigenous peatland tree and palm species. Accounting for variable planting numbers and monitoring durations, we analysed three measures of survival and growth: (1) final survival weighted by the number of seedlings planted, (2) half-life, that is, duration until 50% mortality and (3) relative growth rates (RGR) corrected for initial planting height of seedlings. Average final survival was 62% and half-life was 33 months across all species, sites and treatments. Species differed significantly in survival and half-life. Seedling and site treatments had small effects with the strongest being higher survival of mycorrhizal fungi inoculated seedlings; lower survival, half-life and RGR when shading seedlings; and lower RGR and higher survival when fertilising seedlings. Leaf nutrient and wood density traits predicted TPSF species survival, but not half-life and RGR. RGR and half-life were negatively correlated, meaning that slower growing species survived for longer. Synthesis and applications. To advance tropical peat swamp reforestation requires expanding the number and replication of species planted and testing treatments by adopting control vs. treatment experimental designs. Species selection should involve slower growing species (e.g. Lophopetalum rigidum, Alstonia spatulata, Madhuca motleyana) that survive for longer and explore screening species based on functional traits associated with nutrient acquisition, flooding tolerance and recovery from fire.Peer reviewe
