Peran Optimalisasi Pemberdayaan Nelayan terhadap Peningkatan Usaha (Studi pada KUB-KUB Nelayan di Kabupaten Pati)

Pati is a rich regency with fisheries and oceanic resources . Most of the population live in north coast and their life depend on fishery resource.In reality most of the coast people  live under the poverty line .To overcome the poperty of coast society. Indonesia government has carried out various programs society inpowerment seciety. One of the program is inpowerment fish effort for villagers called “ Pemberdayaan Usaha Mina Pedesaan “ ( PUMP ) which is developed to be national program. The purpose of “ PUMP “ is welfare raising for coast seciety by fiherman economic assosiation,called “ Kelompok Usaha Bersama “ ( KUB ) that means effort cooperation group.The purpose of the research is  ( 1 ) to analyze commitment influence to fisherman inpowerment, (2 ) to analyze competence influence to fisherman inpowerment , (3 ) to analyze Commitment in fluence to effort raising, (4 ) to analyze Competence influence to effort raising ; ( 5 ) to analyze the influence of fisherman inpowerment to effort raising. This research uses sample method by case study approach.The subjects of research is 133 fisherman respondents as “ KUB “ members in district under oceanic and fishery service ( “ Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan “ ) in Pati regency. The soffwere to analyze data is SPSS 19. The menthod data procesor is analysis similarity dauble regression linear gradually used for reaserch the influence of variable free commetment,comptence about bounded variable that is variable of fisherman inpowerment and effort raising. The research result show that commitment,fishreman competence member of “ KUB “ influential positive and sgnificant about fiherman inpowerment and effort raising

Diagnosis and Management of Blastocystis Hominis Infection in Patient with HIV-AIDS

The incidence of AIDS/HIV infection has been increasing worldwide. Patients with AIDS/HIV infection is at high risk to get opportunistic infection which is often become life-threatening. Common infections associated with AIDS/HIV are tuberculosis (TB) infection and viral hepatitis. Commensal organism found in human body is actually not pathogenic. Blastocystis hominis is generally considered as commensal organism of intestinal tract and might cause opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. We reported a case of young male patient with AIDS/HIV infection and evidence of opportunistic infection of Blastocystis hominis found in ascitic fluid along with concomitant lung TB and viral hepatitis. Patient was well-responded to treatment of B. Hominis

UPAYA PENINGKATAN KUALITAS MINYAK KELAPA YANG DIBUAT DARI Cocos nucifera L DENGAN BERBAGAI METODE KIMIAWI DAN FISIK

Berbagai penelitian i1miah beberapa tahun terakhir mcmbuktikan bahwa minyak kelapa murni (Virgin Coconut oil= VCO)mengandung asam lemak jenuh yang unik dan berbeda dari asam lemak jenuh pada umumnya, yaitu asam lemak jenuh rantai sedang dan pendek. Minyak kelapa murni secara dominan disusun oleh medium chains fatty acids (MCFA), Memiliki kadar asam lemak tak jenuh ganda omega-3, asam eikosapentaeinoal (EPA) dan asam asam dokosahcksaenoat (DHA) yang dapat menurunkan Very Low Densit Lipoprotein (VLDL). Pembuatan minyak kelapa dapat dilakukan dengan cara basah atau cara kering. Pembuatan minyak kelapa dengan cara kering menghasilkan rendeman minyak kelapa yang rendah dan biasanya sanitasi pengeringan kopra kurang sehingga kopra dapat ditumbuhi jamur yang akan akibatkan minyak tidak bisa langsung dikonsumsi sebelum melalui beberapa proses seperti : pemurnian, pemutihan, penghilangan aroma. Permasalahannya adalah apakah pembuatan minyak kelapa melalui cara pengasaman dengan asam asetat (teknik kimiawi) dan melalui cara pemanasan bertingkat dan penguapan dengan gelombang mikro (teknik fisik) tersebut dapat menghasilkan minyak kelapa dengan kualitas yang meemenuhi standar dan apakah ada perbedaan karakter kimia fisik antara minyak kelapa yang dihasilkan melalui kedua cara tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan minyak kelapa yang berkualitas melalui Metode kimiawi dan fisik tersebut dan menentukan metode pembuatan yang terbaik. Untuk mengetahui kualitas minyak kelapa yang dihasilkan dilakukun karakterisasi sifat kimia fisik minyak yang mengacu pada Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI. 2008). Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh akan diketahui metode yang dapat menghasilkan minyak kelapa murni yang berkualitas. Melode terpiih akan disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat dengan harapan dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memproduksi minyak kelapa murni yang mempunyai nilai ekonomi Iebih tinggi

The Role of Ethnic Directors in Corporate Social Responsibility: Does Culture matter? The Cultural Trait Theory Perspectives

This paper investigates the effect of cultural differences between ethnic directors on corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Public Liability Companies (PLCs) in Nigeria. Using the cultural trait theory, the study focuses on how the ethnic directors are influenced when making decisions concerning CSR. Adopting multiple regression analysis of data, the study investigates the three major ethnic groups (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa) and finds cultural differences between the ethnic directors affect the adoption of CSR. Empirical results indicate that ethnic directors (Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa) were positively and significantly related to CSR. The paper contributes to the corporate governance and CSR debate concerning how ethnic directors’ decisions impact on CSR activities, particularly on the directors who are individualistic and collectivists towards CSR
