Upaya Meningkatkan Gerak Dasar Menggiring Bola dengan Kura-kura Kaki pada Permainan Sepak Bola melalui Modifikasi Alat

This study aims to improve and enhance the basic motion dribbling with instep with the use of a modified ball made of foam former made spherical, plastic, and rubber in the fifth grade students at SDN 26 Sabing. Methods of those used in this study is action research (PTK), which consists of two cycles, and the researchers applied the basic motion pembelajran dribbling with instep on the game of soccer through modification tools. Subjects in this study were sisawa class of SDN 26 Sabing the number of students 23 sons. Based on the survey results revealed dribble test data is known to have completed 78% of the students so that the criteria very well. So there is a difference between the initial observations with Cycle 1 is 62% -56% = 7% with an increase of 7%, while the cycle 1 with silus 2 is 62% - 78% = 16% so that there is an increase of 16%, and cycle 2 with the initial observation is 78% -56% = 22% so that there is an increase of 22%. The results of this study showed an increase in skill to dribble with instep with modification tools in class V students of SDN 26 Sabing

High-risk infrastructure projects pose imminent threats to forests in Indonesian Borneo

Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) sustains ~37 million hectares of native tropical forest. Numerous large-scale infrastructure projects aimed at promoting land-development activities are planned or ongoing in the region. However, little is known of the potential impacts of this new infrastructure on Bornean forests or biodiversity. We found that planned and ongoing road and rail-line developments will have many detrimental ecological impacts, including fragmenting large expanses of intact forest. Assuming conservatively that new road and rail projects will influence only a 1 km buffer on either side, landscape connectivity across the region will decline sharply (from 89% to 55%) if all imminently planned projects proceed. This will have particularly large impacts on wide-ranging, rare species such as rhinoceros, orangutans, and elephants. Planned developments will impact 42 protected areas, undermining Indonesian efforts to achieve key targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity. New infrastructure will accelerate expansion in intact or frontier regions of legal and illegal logging and land colonization as well as illicit mining and wildlife poaching. The net environmental, social, financial, and economic risks of several imminent projects—such as parallel border roads in West, East, and North Kalimantan, new Trans-Kalimantan road developments in Central Kalimantan and North Kalimantan, and freeways and rail lines in East Kalimantan—could markedly outstrip their overall benefits. Such projects should be reconsidered in light of rigorous cost-benefit frameworks
