Public Trust and Regulatory Compliance

Several studies have proven that public trust in government improves the level of policy or regulation acceptance and reduce administrative costs. In contexts where trust in government is high, citizens tend to be more willing to voluntarily comply with public policies. This article aims to explore issues of trust and distrust toward government, seen from the aspect of public compliance, both to rules or policies. The level of public trust toward government is expressed by giving its support through its conduct which complies with the existing rules. This study employed a case study research design, which was conducted in Yogyakarta, July 2015 – March 2016. It assessed the government regulation on Traffic and Road Transport and Local Regulation on Street Vendors Management. This study concludes that a number of non-compliant behaviors is a form of low publictrust in government. Disobedience is a representation of government failure to enforce the rule of law which resulted in some of the processes and procedures of public services that have not been followed by people. Level of public trust in the government regulation is an output of a variety of interrelated elements: the performance of the implemented regulation to solve public problems; consistency in the regulation’s enforcement and fairness, and government officials’ behavior, demonstrated through exemplary attitude

Edible Coating Berbasis Pati Sagu dengan Penambahan Antimikroba Minyak Sereh pada Paprika: Preferensi Konsumen dan Mutu Vitamin C

Paprika merupakan salah satu jenis sayuran buah yang memiliki prospek pasar yang cerah dan terbuka lebar baik untuk pasar domestik maupun ekspor. Namun, paprika merupakan sayuran buah yang tidak awet dan mudah rusak (perishable commodity) sehingga paprika memerlukan penanganan pascapanen yang tepat agar dapat meningkatkan masa simpannya. Salah satu teknologi potensial untuk diterapkan pada paprika yaitu pelapisan permukaan paprika dengan bahan edible (dapat dimakan) dan ditambah dengan antimikroba alami untuk menghindari serangan mikroba. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi minyak sereh dan lama perendaman terhadap sifat kimia dan organoleptik (warna, aroma, tekstur dan rasa) paprika merah yang diberi perlakuan edible coating berbasis pati sagu dan antimikroba alami minyak sereh. Selain itu juga dianalisis Perubahan mutu kimia vitamin C pada paprika merah selama penyimpanan. Perlakuan yang diberikan untuk pengujian karakteristik sensori yaitu (a) konsentrasi minyak sereh 0,2% dan 0,4% dan (b) lama pencelupan dalam formula edible coating yaitu 3 dan 5 menit. Paprika lalu disimpan pada suhu 8°C. Sebagai kontrol dilakukan juga pengamatan terhadap paprika yang tidak di coating dan yang di coating namun tanpa menambahkan minyak sereh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan coating tidak berpengaruh nyata pada penerimaan panelis terhadap atribut aroma, tekstur, rasa maupun penerimaan keseluruhan paprika. Perlakuan coating hanya berpengaruh nyata pada penerimaan panelis terhadap atribut warna paprika merah. Panelis dapat menerima perlakuan coating pada paprika, baik dengan atau tanpa penambahan antimikroba. Kandunganvitamin C pada paprika dengan perlakuan 0,4% minyak sereh pada suhu 8°C pada hari penyimpanan ke-27 masih tetap tinggi yaitu 1,5 mg/100g

MAKINGMEANING IN STUDENT:INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGYPERSPECTIVE

Somanyevents that can cause a person's life becomes filled with stress, and in suchconditions according to Mikulincer and Florian (1996), problem solving copingtypically become less effective. The study of meaning making became moreand more done because meaning making was very helpful individuals to be ableto face the experience of a life full of stress (Park, 2010), namely through intraphysic cognitive processes or cognitive adaptation, in which individuals transform the meaning of the experience that is full of stress (Park, 2005). However,in Indonesia itself, not much research that raised the topic of making meaning, but a lot of situations, events or disasters which often causes individuals to severe stress. The purpose of this study was to explore information on the meaningmaking that is done when people experience stressful events. Data obtainedfrom 224 students who fill the open questions about the events that maketheir lives become filled with stress, whether they do coping of meaning makingand content of meaning making that is usually used. The data that were obtainedthen categorized and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results and implicationsof this research will be further discussed

EFFECT OF HEAT MOISTURE TREATMENT OF SAGO STARCH ON ITS NOODLE QUALITY

Sago starch has potential as source of flour for noodle. However, noodle made of sago starch has only been limitedly utilized due to the absence of gluten and lack of desired functional properties. Heat moisture treatment (HMT) is a promising technique for improving quality of sago noodle. The objectives of the present work were to study the effect of HMT of sago starch on its noodle quality. Four different origins of sago starch, i.e. Tuni, Ihur, Molat, and Pancasan, were treated with HMT method. HMT was performed by exposing the starch to high temperature (110oC for 16 hours) at moisture content of 25%. Sago starch was then processed into noodle. It was prepared by mixing the sago starch with binder (completely gelatinized starch and additive) into dough. The dough was pressed manually through a container with holes in the base. Noodles strains were steamed for 2 minutes and dried at 50oC in a convection drier. As the control, non-HMT sago starch was used and evaluated. Parameters evaluated were starch properties, physical strength, and cooking and sensory quality of the noodles. Analyses of variance was subjected to all parameters. Research results showed that the starch exposed to HMT changed its pasting profile from initial type A before treated to type B after treated. The noodle quality was also improved. Noodles resulted from starch treated with HMT showed higher firmness and elasticity, but they have lower stickiness compared to those of non-HMT. Less cooking loss and rehydration weight were also found, however, HMT increased cooking time of the noodles. HMT on Pancasan sago starch resulted in noodles which were preferred most by panelists. However, consumer testing is recommended to further validate consumers' preferences to the sago starch noodles. The study indicated that sago starch could be potentially used as raw material for noodles to increase the consumption of sago-based food

SOIL POTASSIUM NUTRIENT, TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL REQUIRED TO GENERATE ‘HONEY TASTE’ OF CILEMBU SWEET POTATO

Indonesia produces normal and “honey taste sweet potatoes” (HTSP), but soil properties and climate factors that govern the unique honey taste and its sugar content have not yet comprehensively evaluated. The objective of the study was to assess and evaluate the soil nutrients and climate factors generating honey taste of Cilembu Rancing cultivar. Soils and plant tissues were sampled at different elevations for various macro- and micro-nutrient analyses and that tubers for sugar analysis. Results showed that the most suitable climate to produce the highest vine and tuber weight, and total tuber sugar of the HTSP was monthly temperature of 21–22oC occurring at 870–917 m soil elevation with monthly rainfall of 96-199 mm. The K nutrient was responsible in part to the high production and total sugar as revealed by significantly positive correlation between soil available K against K content of leaves and tubers, fresh weight of vines and tubers, and total sugar of tubers. The honey taste was driven by type of dominant sugar: fructose > sucrose > glucose. The balance of N, P, K, Ca and Mg to support generation of HTSP for Rancing cultivar was 2,067, 25, 304, 1,824 and 260 mg kg-1 soil, respectively. Further, the content of Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn micronutrient was 29, 177, 4 and 2 mg kg-1, respectively. Findings of climate factors and soil nutrients required by HTSP in this study could be used as a guidance to select the new areas for massive development of honey-taste sweet potato

Dilema gender dalam administrasi publik

The thesis of this paper is that the images of administrative quality that characterized defenses of administrative power contains dilemmas of gender. The intellectual assumptions, definitions of knowledge, and values that shape administrative thinking, and in turn the conditions of people\u27s live are likely to remain as masculine. In either case, if the structural nature of public administration is still based on the culturally masculine qualities, advancing equal opportunity and action for both women and men, cannot be counted on in and of themselves to change the tenor of public administrative affairs. Keywords: gender images, gender equality, and administrative power
