Faktor Determinan Aktivitas Kholinesterase Darah Petani Holtikultura di Kabupaten Majalengka

Blood cholinesterase is an indicator of pesticide intoxication which is still a threat to public health, especially in agriculturural areas. In 2005, in Majalengka district, study found rates of mild intoxiciation (21.7%), moderate intoxication (32.5%), and heavy intoxication (3.6%). This research aims at investigating determinant factors of blood cholinesterase activity among horticulture sprayer farmers. The study employed cross-sectional design with blood cholinesterase activity test results conducted by Majelengka Health Office in 2007 as secondary data. Dominant variables related to cholinesterase activity found in multivariate analysis were spraying history (OR=9.613, 95% CI=2.906-31.799), using long sleeve self protective wear (OR=8.872, 95% CI=2.006-39.232), proper shower (OR=5.446, 95% CI=1.266-23.417), smoking during spraying (OR=4.641, 95% CI=1.717-12.546), history of training/extension (OR=3.217, 95% CI=1.466-7.059), spraying position against wind (OR=2.550, 95% CI =1.169-5.564) and age (OR=0.416, 95% CI OR =0.190-0.911). It is recommended to spray once in three weeks and not more, employing group work and shifting method; increasing frequency of training/extension in an integrated way within working área of Health Center by inserting materials on clean and healthy lifestyle, pesticide exposure, pesticide handling, the use of self protective wear, and prevention and handling pesticide intoxication

PENGEMBANGAN MODEL ANALISIS RELASI BAHASA DAN INTERNET BERBASIS PARADIGMA CMDA (COMPUTER MEDIATED DISCOURSE ANALYSIS)

Dalam dekade terakhir, kajian tentang  relasi bahasa, media, dan teknologi komunikasi telah menjadi kajian lintas disiplin yang menarik  perhatian para ahli dari berbagai disiplin ilmu. Lebih khusus, dalam kaitannya dengan kajian wacana  di Internet, penggunaan bahasa di Internet  dipandang sebagai pertanda lahirnya “new genre” sekaligus sebagai the state of the art dalam kajian wacana, yang dikenal sebagai kajian computer mediated discourse analysis (CMDA).  Dalam konteks perkembangan itu, kajian ini dimaksudkan untuk merumuskan model  analisis relasi bahasa dan Internet berbasis CMDA. Pertanyaannya, “sejauh mana paradigma CMDA  dapat dirumuskan sebagai model pengembangan analisis relasi bahasa dan Internet. Kajian ini menemukan, bahwa ragam bahasa di Internet tidak sepenuhnya menunjukkan ciri-ciri ragam tulis, akan tetapi cenderung menunjukkan ciri-ciri “ragam lisan yang dituliskan”. Di samping itu, ditemukan pula, bahwa konteks media dan konteks situasi komunikasi tampak berpengaruh secara signifikan dalam menentukan makna suatu tuturan di Internet.  Dengan demikian, paradigma CMDA dalam kajian wacana di Internet tampak relevan digunakan, terutama untuk mengindentifikasi ragam bahasa dan makna tuturan di Internet.Kata kunci: konteks media; konteks situasi komunikasi; Internet; computer mediated discourse analysis (CMDA)In the last decade, the study of language relations, media, and communications technology has become an interdisciplinary study that attracts the attention of experts from various disciplines. More specifically, in relation to the study of discourse on the Internet, the use of language on the Internet is seen as a sign of the birth of "new genre" as well as the state of the art in discourse studies, known as computer mediated discourse analysis (CMDA). In the context of this development, this study is intended to formulate models of analysis of language and Internet relationships based on CMDA. The question centers on the extent to which the CMDA paradigm can be formulated as a model for the development of language and Internet relation analysis. This study reveals that the variety of languages on the Internet does not fully show the characteristics of writing, but tends to show the characteristics of "written verbal". In addition, the analysis showed that the context of the media and the context of the communication situation seemed to have a significant effect on determining the meaning of a speech on the Internet. Thus, the CMDA paradigm in the study of discourse on the Internet seems relevant to use, especially to identify the variety of languages and meanings of speech on the Internet.Keywords: media context; context of communication situation; Internet; computer mediated discourse analysis (CMDA

Analysis of Adhesion Quality of Mangium Laminated Wood with Polystirene Resin

Adhesion quality effeccted by adhesive and adheren quality, adhesion process, and product purpose condition. Materials in this research used mangium wood (Acacia mangium) and polystirene resin. The objective of the research was to know the adhesion quality of laminated wood and effect of fiber orientation (axial/ A; radial/ R; tangensial/ T), glue spread (120; 170 g/cm2) and glue spread system (single spread/ SS; double spread/ DS) to adhesion quality of laminated wood. The research results show that the highest of glue line shear strength are 5.01 N/mm2 (R–SS–170) for dry test, and 4.68 N/mm2 (T–SS–170) for wet test. Meanwhile the lowest of glue line shear strength are 1.47 N/mm2 (A–SS–120) for dry test, and 1.47 N/mm2 (T–SS–120) for wet test. Only two wet test laminated wood (T–SS–170 and T–SS–120) fulfill Indonesian standard/ SNI 06–6049–1999 (glue line shear strength ≥3 N/mm2)

DICTION AND IDEOLOGY OF KAESANG PANGAREP'S FIRST SPEECH IN A POLITICAL FORUM

This study aims to analyze the diction, language power, and ideology used by Kaesang Pangerep in his first political speech. The analysis was based on Fairclough's CDA theory (1989) and combined with Thomas N. Huckin's model. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, focusing on elaborating paragraphs, sentences, and words. The analysis began with an examination of the entire text, followed by a more detailed analysis of sentences and words. The text was analyzed to understand the contextual interpretation of the relationship between language power and ideology. Additionally, language relevance and style features were analyzed to understand Kaesang Pangarep's diction in his public speech. The results indicated that the connections between language power and ideology were broadly defined through CDA. The study revealed that although there were instances of irrelevant language use, Kaesang Pangarep's speech was directly aimed at the Millennial party. The linguistic ideology in his speech was observed to reflect a legacy role from current political issues, suggesting a shift in the language used to build the ideology, with specific aims and a legacy of current linguistic issues

Effect of Soaking Treatment to Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches Wettability and Its Comparison with Several Woods Wettablility

The wettability in term of corrected water absorption height (CWAH) of treated oil palm empty fruit bunches (TKS) particles and compare with some woods wettablility was investigated. The treatments were soaking TKS in cold water, hot water and ethanol–benzene. The objective of the research was to know the effect of soaking treatment on the wettability as indicator of gluability of the TKS particles adhesion strength and its comparison with several woods wettablility. The research results show that the CWAH of the TKS which were soaked in cold water, hot water and ethanol–benzene were 72 mm, 202 mm and 214 mm, respectively. Meanwhile the CWAH of untreated TKS was only 46 mm, were lower than those the treated ones. The analysis of variance shows that the soaking treatment in ethanol–benzene and hot water significantly and positively affect wettability. Generally, CWAH of the TKS was lower than other woods, which effected by density, porousity and extractive difference
