TAFSIR SOSIAL ATAS NYABIS (Kebiasaan Berkunjung Ke Ulama Atau Dukun Oleh Nelayan Desa Kedungrejo Kecamatan Muncar Kabupaten Banyuwangi)

Penelitian ini membahas tentang fenomena nyabis, yakni kegiatan mengunjungi ulama maupun dukun yang dilakukan oleh nelayan tangkap di Desa Kedungrejo. Nelayan tangkap melakukan nyabis untuk keperluan-keperluan yang berkaitan dengan aktivitas kenelayanannya seperti keselamatan dan perolehan rejeki. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori yang dikemukakan oleh Peter Ludwig Berger dan Thomas Luckman mengenai konstruksi sosial untuk menganalisis fenomena nyabis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif-interpretatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi partisipan, wawancara terbuka, dan dokumentasi, dengan enam informan utama dan empat informan pendukung. Berdasarkan temuan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa nyabis yang ada di kalangan nelayan Desa Kedungrejo adalah hasil konstruksi sosial melalui proses obyektivasi, dimana terjadi pelembagaan mengenai hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan nyabis. Munculnya kesadaran mengenai sosok ulama, perahu, dan laut yang kemudian memunculkan tindakan nyabis yang termanifestasi ke dalam berbagai kegiatan slametan, mengawinkan perahu, nudus, dan memasangi jimat yang dapat ditipifikasikan oleh nelayan lainnya. Proses internalisasi yang dialami oleh nelayan terjadi di wilayah tempat tinggal dimana orang tua, kyai, dan tetangga menjadi agennya. Sedangkan di wilayah tempat kerja, elit nelayan seperti pemilik perahu dan juraghan menjadi agennya. Selanjutnya terjadi proses eksternalisasi sebagai hasil dari internalisasi yang dialami oleh masing-masing nelayan. Bentuk eksternalisasi yang dilakukan oleh nelayan adalah melakukan nyabis dengan mendatangi ulama dengan tujuan mencari barokah atau dengan mendatangi dukun atau paranormal dengan tujuan mendapatkan rejeki

Development of bambangan (Mangifera pajang) carbonated drink

Mangifera pajang Kostermans or bambangan is a popular fruit among Sabahan due to its health and economic values. However, the fruit is not fully commercialized since it is usually been used as traditional cuisine by local people. Thus, development of bambangan fruit into carbonated drink was conducted to produce new product concept. The objectives of this study were to conceptualize, formulate, evaluate consumer acceptance, and determine physicochemical properties and nutritional composition of the accepted product. Method used in conceptualising the product was based on questionnaire. The consumer acceptance was evaluated based on descriptive and affective tests with four product formulations tested. The physicochemical properties on carbon dioxide volume, colour, pH, total acidity, total soluble solid (TSS) and viscosity were highlighted, meanwhile nutritional composition on fat, protein, carbohydrates and energy content were determined. About 77% respondents gave positive feedback, and 69% respondents decided this product is within their budget. The formulation of 5% bambangan pulp, 70% water, 25% sugar and 0.2% citric acid was highly accepted in descriptive and affective tests with 4.4 and 6.39 mean scores, respectively. The physicochemical properties and nutritional composition of the acceptance product were in optimum value except for colour, total acidity and TSS. Overall, this study showed that the product has high potential to be commercialized as new product concept, and heritage of indigenous people can be preserved when this fruit is known regionally

Pengelolaan Kesiapan Belajar Anak Masuk Sekolah Dasar

Readiness of children to enter school is something that is very important that every child must have because the readiness to attend school is the first capital to follow the process of learning activities in school. The greater the readiness of the child, the greater the child has the ability to follow the poses of learning activities at school. Conversely, the smaller the readiness of children's learning, the smaller the children have the ability to follow the poses of learning activities at school. The problem is that many children do not have readiness to learn well because parents have not manage the readiness to learn children enter school well. In the readiness of learning children enter primary school can not come suddenly in the child because everything must be well prepared, including that of elementary school age, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor ability of children and others needed by children. The role of parents and teachers in "pre-school" institutions / education at an early age is very important in managing preparing children for elementary school. Having the readiness to learn elementary school entrance well then the child can enjoy the process of learning activities and the opportunity / opportunity to deliver to achieve the best achievement in learning

Dual polarization operation of nanostructure arrays in the MIR region

In this paper, we report on arrays of asymmetric split H-shape nanostructures tuned to produce two distinct resonances at wavelengths that range from 3 μm to 7 μm. The electric-field of the incident wave has been both polarized parallel to the vertical asymmetric dipole arms and polarized across the 50 nm gap in the asymmetric horizontal bar. We have produced resonance quality factors as large as 26 in the mid-infrared region

An Analysis of Factors Determining Competitiveness: the Case of the Indonesian Palm Oil Industry

IndonesianKajian ini menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi daya saing industri kelapa sawit Indonesia di pasar Internasional. Kerangka kajian ini menggabungkan pendekatan teori perdagangan neo-klasik dan manajemen strategis dalam menganalisis daya saing Internasional pada tingkat industri. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa daya saing global industri kelapa sawit di Indonesia dapat dijelaskan oleh produktifitas tenaga kerja, nilai tukar rupiah, dan rasio konsentrasi empat Perusahaan. Campur tangan pemerintah dalam bentuk penentuan harga alokasi dalam negeri juga merupakan faktor yang sangat penting dan berpengaruh negatif pada daya saing global industri kelapa sawit di Indonesia.EnglishThis paper analyses factors that determine the competitiveness of the Indonesian palm oil industry including the effect of government interventions. The conceptual framework used in this study combines neo-classical trade and strategic management approaches for analyzing competitiveness at the industry level. This study shows that the competitiveness of the Indonesian palm oil industry can be explained by its labor productivity, the real exchange rates, and the four-firm concentration ratio. It is shown that government interventions--in the form of domestic allocation prices--have significant and negative effects on the competitiveness of the palm oil industry

Measuring Efficiency of Islamic Banks: Evidence From Indonesia

The present study investigates the efficiency of Islamic banks in Indonesia particularly for the period of 2014-2015. To meet that objective, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) particularly input-oriented, variable return to scale (VRS) has been employed. Additionally, twelve full-fledge Islamic commercial banks are included as the sample of the study. Having analysed using the DEA model, we find the average technical efficiency score of Islamic banks in 2014 is 0.843. In this regard, the inefficiency of Islamic banks is attributed equally to pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency. Moreover, the average technical efficiency score of Islamic banks for the year of 2015 is 0.832 which is lower than the previous year. The inefficiency of Islamic banks in 2015 is mainly contributed by the scale inefficiency. Moreover, the results reveal a declining productivity of Islamic banks during the period of study
