Ethnic Identity and Land Utilization: a Case Study in Riau, Indonesia

This article looks at the economic and social position of first- and second- generationtransmigrants of Javanese origin in the northwestern part of the Province of Riau,Sumatra, in the aftermath of the 1997/98 monetary crisis. The article is based on thefindings of a study undertaken by the author in 2001 in the context of the InternationalLabour Organization's InFocus Programme on Socio-Economic Security called‘Indonesia: Improving Security After the Crises'. Data were collected in two villagesin a transmigration settlement near Pasir Pangarayan, Riau, where several thousandtransmigrant families had been resettled during the 1980s

Trends in Alcohol Services Utilization from 1991–1992 to 2001–2002: Ethnic Group Differences in the U.S. Population

Background:  During the early 1990s in the United States, changes to the provision and financing of alcohol treatment services included reductions in inpatient treatment services and in private sector spending for treatment. We investigated trends in alcohol services utilization over the 10‐year period from 1991–1992 to 2001–2002 among U.S. whites, blacks, and Hispanics. Methods:  Data come from 2 household surveys of the U.S. adult population. The 1991 to 1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey and the 2001 to 2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions conducted face‐to‐face interviews with a multistage cluster sample of individuals 18 years of age and older in the continental United States. Treatment utilization represented both total utilization and the use of alcohol services. Data analyses were prevalence rates and multivariate logistic regressions for lifetime utilization with drinkers and individuals with alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Results:  From 1991–1992 to 2001–2002, drinking‐related emergency room and human services use increased for drinkers, while total utilization and the use of private health professional services and mutual aid decreased for individuals with AUDs. In drinkers and individuals with AUDs, blacks and Hispanics were less likely than whites to use private health professional care. Hispanics with AUDs were less likely than whites with AUDs to use alcohol or drug programs. Ethnicity interacted with alcohol severity to predict alcohol services utilization. At higher levels of alcohol severity, blacks and Hispanics were less likely than whites to ever use treatment and to use alcohol services (i.e., human services for Hispanic drinkers, mental health services for blacks with AUDs, and mutual aid for Hispanics with AUDs). Conclusions:  Our findings showed increases from 1991–1992 to 2001–2002 in alcohol services utilization for drinkers, but reductions in utilization for individuals with AUDs. Blacks and Hispanics, particularly those at higher levels of alcohol severity, underutilized treatment services compared to whites. These utilization trends for blacks and Hispanics may reflect underlying disparities in healthcare access for minority groups, and language and logistical barriers to utilizing services

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTENSITY AND INTERESTS OF SCHOOL FACILITIES WIFI UTILIZATION WITH ICT SUBJECTS LEARNING PERFORMANCE ON STUDENTS OF 1st STATE HIGH SCHOOL (SMAN 1) JETIS BANTUL ON ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2011/2012

This study was conducted to determine the relationship of the intensity on school wifi utilization on learning performance, the relationship between interest on school wifi utilization with learning performance and the relationship between the intensity and interest on the wifi school facilities utilization on learning performance. This study was a corelational research and using quantitative research methodology. The population were the X, XI, and XII class in the Academic Year of 2011/2012 in SMA N 1 Jetis Bantul totaling of 576 students, divided into 18 classes, which were than sampled of 93 students according to Suharsimi Arikunto and using purposive sampling technique. The test instrument was conducted on 30 respondents in the study population beyond the sample. Methods for collecting data were using questionnaires and documentation. Questionnaire method was using to collect the variable data for interests on wifi school facilities utilization. While the documentation a method was using to collect the variable data for intensity on wifi school utilization and the value of students’ learning performance data. The techniques of data analysis was product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The criteria for rejection and acceptance of hypothesis test was using a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the intensity of wifi school facilities utilization with students’ learning performance on ICT subjects, it mean that the higher intensity on wifi school facilities utilization, the higher students’ learning performance. There was a positive and significant relationship between the interest of wifi school facilities utilization with the students’ learning performance on ICT subjects, it mean that the higher interest of wifi school facilities utilization, the higher students’ learning performance. There was a positive and significant relationship between the intensity and interest of wifi school facilities utilization with the students’ learning performance on ICT subjects. It could be seen from the determinant coefficient of R2 for 0327. This might imply that the intensity and interest in the use of wifi facilities contribute to the students’ success on ICT subjects of 32% while the remaining was explained by other factors. Keywords: The intensity of wifi school facilities utilization, the interest of wifi school facilities utilization and the learning performance of ICT subject

Primary nutrient balance as a new tool to evaluate nutrient utilization

A new tool, utilization rate of primary nutrients, is introduced to evaluate parallel nutrient load and efficiency of nutrient utilization. It is independent of the quality and quantity of final products and therefore allows comparison between any production systems or farms
