Productivity of sugarcane plants of ratooning with fertilizing treatment

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan produktivitas tebu keprasan dengan perlakuan pemupukan input eksternal rendah, sehingga petani dapat meningkatkan keuntungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Blok Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan (4x3). Tebu varietas R 579 ditanam pada masing-masing plot percobaan seluas 5x5 meter2. Dosis pupuk: P0 = 3,6 kg/plot yaitu 100% dosis penggunaan pupuk kimia yang digunakan oleh petani. Selanjutnya dosis: P1 (75%) = 2,7 kg/plot, P2 (50%) = 1,8 kg/plot dan P3 (0,25%) = 0,9 kg/plot, masing-masing dilengkapi dengan 5 mL pupuk organik cair plot/tahun. Tanaman tebu dengan berbagai perlakuan tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan. Produktivitas tertinggi dicapai pada dosis P2 (pupuk kimia 50% plus pupuk organik) adalah 21,67 kg/m2. Pupuk kimia dapat dihemat 700 kg/ha/tahun atau Rp 997.500 per tahun. Tambahan biaya pupuk cair organik Rp 100.000 per tahun hektar dan tenaga kerja Rp 100.000 per hektar, sehingga keuntungan tambahan petani dari tabungan pupuk Rp. 797.500 per tahun. Kata kunci: tanaman tebu, keprasan, pemupukan, keuntungan

MODEL PENINGKATAN KOMPETENSI DOSEN; PERAN KNOWLEDGE SHARING, MOTIVASI, DAN NEED FOR COGNITION DOSEN UNIVERSITAS TEUKU UMAR

Competence is a set of knowledge, skills, and behaviors that teachers or lecturers must possess, appreciate, and master in carrying out professional duties. Lecturers as professional educators are required to have competence as the spearhead of the teaching and learning process. Teuku Umar University (UTU), as one of the state universities in Aceh Province, is required to improve its lecturers' competence by looking at the role of knowledge sharing, motivation, and need-for-cognition of its lecturers. This study aimed to analyze the effect of knowledge sharing, motivation, and need for cognition on lecturers' competence at UTU by using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that knowledge sharing and need-for-cognition had a positive effect on the lecturers' commitment, while motivation had no positive effect on lecturer commitment. However, motivation had a positive effect on lecturers' knowledge sharing, while need-for-cognition had no positive effect on lecturers' knowledge sharing. Based on the research results, UTU should facilitate its lecturers to carry out knowledge sharing activities that could be implemented through knowledge management. As for need-for-cognition, it is expected that UTU would create a new cognitive need, such as holding new knowledge competitions or rewards for lecturers who find discoveries. Keywords: competence, knowledge sharing, motivation, need-for-cognition, SEM-PL

Analisis Tekno Ekonomi Industri Kecil untuk Akses ke Lembaga Perbankan (Studi Kasus Pada Perusahaan Kecap Damai di Purwokerto)

In 1997 Indonesia experienced an economic crisis which is started with the decrease in value of Rupiah towards the US Dollar. Many industries were closed, but a lot of small and medium scale industries survived and still exist until now. One of them is “Damai” kecap industry in Purwokerto. For most of small and medium scale industries, the limited capital is one of the problems to developing their business. There were several requirements to gain access to banking services, such as current ratio (CR), debt equity ratio (DER) and value of warranty. To establish a kecap industry a working capital of Rp. 62.099.500,- is needed to fulfill a one-month operational cost. Fixed assets require approximately Rp. 211.350.000,- (excluding land), so the total capital needed is Rp. 273.449. 500,-. The marketing analysis shows that the break-even point (BEP) of the kecap industry is 14.625 bottles or approximately Rp. 68.471.671,-, and CR is 165,90%. It means that the kecap industry should be able (liquid) to settle current liabilities from its current assets. The banks ask for a minimum current ratio of 120,00%. DER of this kecap industry is 20,45%, which means that the kecap industry has enough capital to settle its liabilities. The banks ask for maximum DER of 200,00%. In order to enlarge its business, the industry needs to increase its capacity. It means that “Damai” kecap Industry needs an extra credit from bank or kecap industry can cooperate with the third party as investor. An industry needs a lot of time to gain credit from a bank. The “Damai” kecap Industry can obtain extra credit of  Rp. 100.000.000,- from its land and building because their value is more than Rp. 400.000.000,-
