The activity of ship dismantling is one of the sources of metal pollutant that polluted the environment. The aims of this study were analyze the iron concentration from the ship dismantling area, to isolate the bacteria from those area, and to determine the bacteria resistant on iron. Samplings was conducted in three point sampling at sea water and soil coast, respectively. Isolation of bacteria was carried out using pour plate methods. All isolated bacteria in seawater and soil samples were inoculated on nutrient agar medium (NA) containing ferrous metals (Fe2+) with various concentrations (0; 1,000; 2,000; 3,000; 4,000; 5,000; and 6,000 μg/mL). Based on the results, sea water and soil indicated that those area have contaminated with iron. The concentration of iron in seawater was 1.03, 1.01 and 1.00 μg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the concentration of iron in soil was 962.0, 966.05, 981.00 mg/kg, respectively. The result of qualitative and quantitative analysis showed that the isolates of AT, AL and CL coded bacteria have high resistance to the effect of iron. It indicated with clear zone of 6.00-7.00 mm at 6,000 μg/mL. In conclusion, both of bacteria are potential to be used for bioremediation of the ferrous metal (Fe2+) in further investigation.

The study about the activity of the enzyme amylase from amylolytic bacterial isolates from wet sagoo starch and  its traditional provision environment had been done in Jayapura. The purposes of this study were to determine the activity of amylase enzyme and to identify the bacteria isolated from wet sagoo starch and its processing environment in Jayapura district. The method used was an experimental laboratorium in which isolation of amylolytic bacteria was performed by using nutrient agar medium with 1% soluble starch on spreed pour plate method. The enzyme activity was detected with 0.2% iodine in 2% potassium iodide which were able to form a clear zone. The protein content of the crude enzyme extract was determined by the Bradford method using bovine serum albumin (BSA). Amylase enzyme activity was determined by the formula: DUN/ml = [(R0-R1)/R0] [dilution factor] DUN/ml (dextrinizing units per ml). The results showed that there were 15 isolates amylolytic bacteria. Four (4) bacterial isolates have amylolytic power of more than 30 mm. The amilase activity of amylolytic bacterial of all  isolates were quite high: which were 35 577, 18 903,  32 106 and 46 600 U/mg for SU4, SU13, SU23 and SU40 respectively. The identification of isolates indicated that the three isolates are members of the Bacillus cereus ATCC 14 579 types with a similarity value of 71.70% to 81.10%, and one isolate is Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6501 members with a similarity value of 94.30%. Keywords: Amylolytic bacteria, amylase activity, characterization, sago flour.

Urease is an enzyme catalyst in the reaction of oxidation of uric acid into Allantoin. Oxidation of uric acid by the enzyme has become a basic principle of measurement of uric acid levels in the human body. This research to know urikase derived from the bacterium Bacillus sp that contaminate the air Laboratory of Microbiology Department of Health Analyst Banjarmasin. The research is descriptive survey. Airborne bacteria were isolated and identified for Bacillus sp. The identification is done by examination of macroscopic, microscopic and biochemical tests subsequently performed tests using nutrient agar medium containing 0.2% of uric acid. Results of the study showed there were two isolates of Bacillus sp and obtained clear zone on both these isolates. Conclusions of research there are contaminants Bacillus sp. as much as 40% in the laboratory. 100% of the yield urikase Bacillus sp. Urikase advice from Bacillus sp can be used as an alternative reagent uric acid probes spectophotometric method.

Is it possible to transform stone into a technological and innovative device? The meeting with one of the main stone transformers in Europe produced the intention of a disruptive operation that could affect the strategy of the whole company. A contagious singularity. By intertwining LEAN methodologies and the human-centric approach of design thinking, we mapped the value creation in the company activating a dialogue with the workers and the management, listening to people, asking for ambitions, discovering problems and the potential of production. This qualitative and quantitative analysis conducted with a multidisciplinary approach by designers, architects and marketing strategists allowed us to define a new method. We used it to design a platform that could let all the players express their potential to the maximum. This is how the group's research laboratory was born, with the aim of promoting the relationship between humans and stone through product innovation. With this goal, we coordinated the new team, developing technologies that would allow creating a more direct relationship between man and surface, making the stone reactive. The result was the first responsive kitchen ever.

Achievement of company goals, PT. Traktor Nusantara often faces problems, where from within and from outside the company. One of the problems that comes from within the company in relation to human resources is the level of work productivity of employees who are still far from expectation. This is allegedly caused by the level of employee education that has not been in accordance with the function of office, in addition to the competence of employees who have not been in accordance with the field of work. This study aims to determine the influence of education level and competence on employee productivity. The sample used is 22 employees. Data collection techniques with questionnaires, documentation and observation. Data analysis with qualitative and quantitative analysis methods with the help of statistical tools SPSS application for linear regression model calculation. The results showed that the level of education has a positive influence on the productivity of employees of PT. Traktor Nusantara. The amount of influence of education level variable to productivity based on test of determination is equal to 38,1%. Competence influence on work productivity of employees of PT. Traktor Nusantara with contribution of 19.1%. The level of education and competence together have a positive influence and able to explain 38.2% of the changes in work productivity, while the remaining 4.7% sebesat is another variable outside the study.

Attitudes towards tax compliance (willingness to comply) Indonesian society is still low. Required an innovative tax dissemination to increase it. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the tax dissemination based on Fogg Behavioral Model (FBM) approach may increase wiliingness to comply. The FBM based tax dissemination asserts that for a person to perform a target behavior, which is a willingness to comply, he or she must be sufficiently motivated, have the ability to perform the behavior, and be trigerred, to perform the behavior. This research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of statistical data results of the questionnaire, interviews, and observations of the respondent and the experimental process of dissemination. The method used in this study is a quasi experimental with patterns of nonequivalent control group (pretest-post which is not equivalent). Based on the results of data analysis, interviews and observations of the respondent and the experiment, this research showed that theFBMbasedtaxdissemination hasapositiveimpactto willingnesstocomplyofthetaxpayers.
