SOCIAL CHANGE AS AN ASPECT OF THE INCREASING SCALE OF ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY ILLUSTRATED IN THE SECTOR OF EDUCATION

Writing on the subject of social change has been characterized by a general and descriptive approach on one hand and a narrow focus on institutions on the other. As conceived here under the hypoches Ls of increasing scale of organization of society, change in a particular organization is seen as representative of and dynamically related to an organizational transformation of the carrying society as a whole. The crucial structural concept is interdependence among groups and their participant memberships. An analysis of changes in the Kansas State Department of Public Instruction, 1854-1952, is presented as an illustration of the hypothesis.http://web.ku.edu/~starjrn

Efek Jenis Kemasan terhadap Kualitas Gabah dan Beras Varietas Cigeulis

Produksi gabah dan beras selama ini menghadapi masalah penurunan mutu akibat penyimpanan yang kurang memadai. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengkaji efek jenis kemasan terhadap kualitas gabah dan beras varietas Cigeulis selama penyimpanan. Penelitian dilakukan di Batang Ase, Kabupaten Maros, Sulawesi Selatan yang dimulai pada bulan Juni 2006 hingga Desember 2007. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah acak kelompok pola faktorial dengan faktor pertama adalah kemasan (kemasan karung plastik dan kemasan hermetik) dan faktor kedua adalah lama simpan (0,3,6,9 dan 12 bulan). Percobaan dilakukan terhadap 10 petani sebagai ulangan yang masing-masing 10 karung gabah yang dikemas hermetik dan 10 karung gabah yang dikemas karung plastik. Tiap karung diisi 50 kg gabah yang disimpan di gudang milik masing-masing petani hingga 12 bulan. Tiap 3 bulan gabahnya digiling untuk mendapatkan beras. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan kemasan hermetik dapat menghambat kenaikan kadar air gabah varietas Cigeulis selama dalam penyimpanan (10,76%), mempertahankan persentase beras kepala (84%), menekan butir patah (24,45%), kerusakan gabah (1,67%) dan tingkat hama rendah (2,4%) saat penyimpanan 12 bulan. Hasil organoleptik menunjukkan bahwa nasi dari gabah kemasan hermetik tetap baik dan enak dari awal penyimpanan hingga 12 bulan penyimpanan baik kelekatan, rasa, warna, kepulenan dan aroma, sedangkan nasi dari gabah kemasan karung plastik mengalami Perubahan yaitu nasi makin kurang melekat, warna putih kusam dan aroma berkurang. Daya tumbuh gabah memperlihatkan perbedaan yang nyata antara yang disimpan dengan kemasan hermetik (99% penyimpanan 9 dan 12 bulan) dan kemasan karung plastik (11% penyimpanan 9 bulan dan 0% pada penyimpanan 12 bulan)

The Silo Effect of Information Technology on the Organizational Productivity: A Qualitative Research Study

In the field of technology, research shows that information technology (IT) is needed to improve the quality of workplace in any industry. Thus, the advent of Internet has made it easy to communicate with others and get the work done with less effort from where you are and at any time. Considering this fact, IT gained ground in all areas of life and developing nations in various sectors. However, IT creates silos among workers and employers. This study attempts to answer the following research question: how can a silo be a bad or good thing on any organizational productivity based on the researcher’s working experience shared stories? The aim of this research is to share how IT can build silos and affect on the organizational productivity. To examine the research problem, the researcher narrates the stories of his working experience in a hospital in Pennsylvania in the United States of America (U.S.). The results indicate that the IT is a very good tool to facilitate communication and solves problems, but the misuse of IT systems may lead to construction of a huge silo system among the leadership and employees within the same business.

Pengaruh Jenis Alat Giling dan Varietas terhadap Kualitas Beras di Sulawesi Selatan

The Effect Of Mill Types And Variety On Rice Quality In South Sulawesi. The aim of this research was find out the effect of mill types and variety on rice quality in South Sulawesi. This assessment was conducted on the farmer\u27s land in Pinrang Regency on August to December 2005. Cultivation Technologies applied were recommended by Dinas Pertanian Tanaman Pangan dan Hortikultura South Sulawesi. Experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with two factors. The first factor was three varieties such as Pepe, Cimelati and Cigeulis. The second factor was three types of mills such as portable, RMU (compact rice mill) and complete big rice mill. The result showed that percentage of total rice, head rice, brokens, and moisture content of head rice was influenced significantly by interaction between type of mill and variety. The highest of head rice rendemen was Cigeulis with portable mill (74,6%) and followed by Cimelati with portable mill (73,17%). Palatability characteristics after cooking was influenced significantly by type of mill only. The best rice eaten was complete big rice mill with rice cooked had characteristics as delicious, softly, white color, bright and aromatic of variety Pepe, Cigeulis and Cimelati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis alat giling terhadap kualitas beras beberapa varietas padi di Sulawesi Selatan. Pengkajian dilaksanakan di lahan petani Kabupaten Pinrang pada musim tanam Agustus hingga Desember 2005. Teknologi budidaya yang digunakan adalah yang direkomendasikan oleh Dinas Pertanian Tanaman Pangan dan Hortikultura Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan acak kelompok pola faktorial dengan tiga ulangan. Faktor pertama yaitu varietas sebanyak 3 faktor adalah Pepe, Cimelati dan Cigeulis. Sedangkan faktor kedua adalah alat giling sebanyak 3 faktor yaitu portable dengan kapasitas giling 50 g, RMU (Rice milling Unit) kapasitas 100 kg dan gilingan besar milik PT Pertani (sistem kontinyu dengan paddy polisher) kapasitas minimal 250 kg. Hasil pengkajian menunjukkan bahwa rendemen beras total, beras kepala, beras pecah, dan kadar air beras kepala dipengaruhi secara nyata oleh interaksi antara tipe alat giling dan varietas. Rendemen beras kepala tertinggi adalah varietas Cigeulis dengan gilingan kecil (74,6%) diikuti varietas Cimelati dengan gilingan kecil (73,17%) dan varietas Cigeulis dengan gilingan RMU (72,24%). Mutu citarasa nasi dari semua varietas yang diuji hanya dipengaruhi secara nyata oleh alat giling. Cita rasa nasi yang disukai adalah yang digiling dengan penggilingan besar. Beberapa karakteristiknya adalah agak lembek, rasa enak, warna putih mengkilat, pulen, beraroma dan kelekatan sedang baik varietas Pepe, Cigeulis maupun Cimelati

Preliminary Study on the Production of Extracellular Protease from a Newly Isolated Bacillus sp. (No.1) and the Physical Factors Affecting Its Production

A thermophilic bacterium isolated from a dumping ground in Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, identified as Bacillus sp. (No.1), was able to grow at 600C and showed proteolytic activity on skim milk agar. The protease production by this bacterium and some physical factors affecting its production were investigated. Significant protease activity was detected in the basal medium after incubation for 16 h at 50°C with shaking at 200 rpm and reached its peak after 30 h. The protease production coincided with the late exponential or early stationary phase of bacterial growth and corresponded with the sporulation of this bacterium. The optimum pH, agitation rate and temperature for protease production by Bacillus sp. (No.1) were pH 8, 150 rpm and 50°C, respectively

Synthesis and characterization of photocrosslinked biobased polyester membrane

A series of bio-based photocrosslinked polyester membranes, poly(1,8-octanediol-itaconate-citrate-dodecandioate), (POSCI) were synthesized through polycondensation followed by photocrosslinking under UV irradiation in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA) as photoinitiator (PI). Upon varied UV exposure time and DMPA content, the corresponding changes in chemical, structural, and mechanical properties of the polymer were studied. The transmission peak of FTIR spectrum centred at 1725 cm-1 indicates the formation of ester structure. Contact angle results suggested all of the synthesized POSCI membranes had hydrophilic properties as their contact angle is less than 90 °. Sol-gel analysis shows that the swelling ratio of POSCI decreases while the gel fraction increases with increasing in photocrosslinking time. The tensile strength of POSCI, thus, increased correspondingly with longer UV exposure. Excess DMPA, however, proved otherwise
