PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT DALAM UPAYA MEMANFAATKAN POTENSISUMBER DAYAALAM SECARALESTARI

Kebumen coastal areas mostly consist of unstable sand dunes. The vegetations are dominated bygrass, pandanus and seasonal cover-cropsthat emerge during rainy seasons. Some varieties of these seasonal cover-crops may have medicinal values. Onthe area behind the cover-crops formation, trees (e.g. cashew nut, nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum), Casuarinas and other fruit trees grow. In addition, people plant bamboo, melinjo (Gnetum gnemon Linn.) and banana in their backyard. The principle of sustainability has not been implemented on the utilization of these locally available natural resources. Forthis reason, it is necessary to set up a community empowerment program which has a main theme of community-base sustainable utilization of the coastal natural resources. This community empowerment program involved students who perform their compulsory community service program (KKNPPM).In the program, the students have worked together with tbe actively participating local community and have also been supported by the local government. This program has produced some results, e.g. : 1) cashew nut and nyamplung processing equipments2) a silvopasture demplot 3) a legal licences from the authority for production and processing of local raw materials 4) a leaflet of medicinal plants 5) environmental-care campaign stickers 6) a continuation plan for the future community empowemlent program

PENGARUH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE DAN WORK-LIFE BALANCE TERHADAP KEPUASAN KERJA DAN KINERJA

ABSTRACT  The purpose of this study was to analyze the competence or discipline in improving the quality of patent services, and their implications for customer satisfaction. This type of research is quantitative research, and the method used is Path Analysis. Data was obtained through a questionnaire collected from 100 people of interest in the Lowokwaru District Office, Malang. The findings of the study indicate that better competence is able to improve the quality of patent services, but has no implications for public satisfaction. Likewise, better discipline is also able to improve the quality of patent services, and has strong implications for public satisfaction. This indicates that the quality of Patent service has the ability to bridge the influence of competence or discipline on customer satisfaction. Keywords: Competence, Discipline, Patent Service Quality, Customer Satisfaction ABSTRAK  Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kemampuan kompetensi maupun disiplin dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan paten, serta implikasinya pada kepuasan konsumen.

Pemberdayaan Karang Taruna untuk Kelola Potensi Pesisir Desa Bulakbaru Kabupaten Jepara

Bulakbaru village in JeparaDistrict is a village located in the northeastern coast of Java Sea. This village is prone to abrasion. Each year its land was reduced by between 50 to 100 meters. The existing vegetation in the area is only some mangroves, so that the condition of this coastal area has become more extreme. This condition requires efforts to improve and manage the coastal area potential with a variety of methods. Coastal rehabilitation requires strong human resources, equipped with appropriate science and technology for the coastal community. The research aims to encourage karang tarunato manage coastal potential and transfer simple technology for the rehabilitation of the coastal area so that the community can participate actively in preserving a sustainable environment. This programcomprises methods of public education, consultation, diffusion of science and technology, training and mediation. In the implementation of the program it was evident that the community, particularly members of karangtaruna, actively participated in all activities so that they could learn the science and technology and became more open-minded in managing the potential of their coastal village. Large portion of the the coastal rehabilitation technology can be transfered to the community.  The village community was able to realize the importance of mutual cooperation to manage their environment in order that it can be sustainable

Variasi genetik pada induk dan anakan cendana (santalum album Linn, santalaceae) di hutan penelitian wanagama

Perbedaan variasi genetik dari generasi ke generasi telah teramati pada berbagai spesies; dan diduga merupakan efek dari peruba.hanukuran populasi, serta terjadinya perubahan tingkatan selfing dan crossing dalam populasi. Hal ini berdampak pada peningkatan homozigositas dan penurunan diversitas genetik, yang akan menyebabkan turunnya fitness dan kemampuan hidup, serta terjadinya depresi silang-dalam dalam populasi. Introduksi cendana Santalurn album Linn, salah satu spesies dengan kategori vulnerable atau rentan untuk terancam punah ke Hutan Penelitian Wanagama dimulai pada tahun 1967 dengan ditanamnya sekitar 6800 batang pohon cendana di Petak 5. Oari jumlah tersebut, hanya sedikit yang mampu bertahan hidup dan menjadi cikal bakal tegakan cendana yang ada di Wanagama hingga saat ini. Selanjutnya, program pemuliaan pohon cendana dimulai dengan membangun uji provenan dari 7 sumber benih di Petak 18 pada akhir tahun 1993. Pada saat ini, regenerasi telah terjadi secara luas hingga radius lebih dari 5 km dengan hanya mengandalkan permudaan alam. Belum pernah dilakukan penelitian terhadap variasi genetik pada tegakan alam cendana di Wanagama; baik pohon induknya maupun anakan yang merupakan hasil permudaan alam. Variasi genetik anakan hasil permudaan alam dari pertanaman uji provenan juga belum pernah diamati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan variasi genetik dari generasi tetua ke permudaan alamnya; dengan fokus pada (1) penentuan variasi genetik dalam dan antar populasi pada tanaman induk, termasuk pendeteksian alel langka tetua; (2) penentuan variasi genetik anakan hasil permudaan alam, termasuk pendeteksian alel yang punah pada generasi anakan tersebut; serta (3) perumusan strategi konservasi genetik cendana. Keragaman genetik dalam populasi diamati berdasarkan nilai frekuensi aiel, frekuensi genotipe, jumlah lokus yang polimorfik, jumlah alel per lokus, heterozigositas harapan, dan heterozigositas yang teramati. Pada tingkatan hidup yang berbeda, teramati kecenderungan adanya penurunan frekuensi aiel tertentu pada tingkatan semai dibanding sapihan, bahkan terjadi kepunahan alel. Di sisi lain, peningkatan frekuensi alel terdapat pada sejumlah lokus yang diamati. Nilai heterosigositas harapan (He) maupun teramati (Ho) cenderung tetap pada dua tingkatan hidup yang berbeda. Pada tingkatan fisiognomi yang berbeda, teramati kecenderungan adan¥a perubahan frekuensi aiel seiring dengan berubahnya tingkatan fisiognomi. Perubahan frekuensi alel seiring dengan tingkatan fisiognomi ini tidak teramati secara jelas pada level sapihan. Namun pada generasi selanjutnya yaitu level semai, perubahan ini teramati dengan jelas. Sejumlah alel menampakkan adanya peningkatan frekuensi, sedangkan pada alel yang lain, yang terjadi adaiah sebaliknya. Seiring dengan makin lanjutnya tingkatan fisiognomi, ternyata terjadi perubahan distribusi atau pola penyebaran aiel dalam suatu lokus tertentu. Nilai heterosigositas harapan (He) maupun teramati (Ho) untuk sapihan cenderung tetap pada tingkatan fisiognomi yang berbeda. Namun pada level semai, nilai ini ternyata cenderung bervariasi

Antioxidant and Nephroprotective Effects of Okra Pods Extract (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) against Lead Acetate-Induced Toxicity in Mice

In this study, we determine the curative effects of okra pods (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) extract against lead acetate toxicity in mice kidney. n-Hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol solvent were used for extracting okra pods. The role of the extract as an antioxidant was tested by DPPH and FRAP methods. The methanol extract was used for experiments in animals. A total of 30 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six equal groups: normal control, negative control (lead-induced), and treatment groups (lead-induced for 28 days and administration of methanol extract at doses of 50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW for the 28 days). The following were analyzed in all groups: activity of the antioxidant enzymes, namely, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT); oxidant level, namely, malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO); and markers of kidney injury, namely, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cre). Kidney histopathology was also evaluated. This study showed that the methanol extract showed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50 is 35.21 µg/mL, and FRAP is 57.58 µM Fe2+/g). The CAT and SOD activities increased significantly in okra-treated groups (P<0.05). The okra administration groups experienced a significant decrease in MDA, NO, BUN, and Cre levels (P<0.05). Thickness of the epithelial proximal tubule, diameter of the proximal tubule, and percentage of necrotic cells in proximal tubule decreased, but the diameter ratio of glomerular Bowman’s capsule in mice treated with okra was optimally improved and repaired like normal control (P<0.05). The results of this study reveal that methanol extract has a very strong antioxidant effect and can reduce the influence of toxicity induced by lead acetate in mice kidney
