<p><span>Pigs are kept both in urban and rural areas. This research identified the performance differences <span>between urban and rural farming systems. The study was conducted in Manokwari regency and involved <span>six districts, i.e. Nothern Manokwari district, Eastern Manokari District, Western Manokwari district,<br /><span>Warmare district, Prafi district and Masni district. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0, an <span>independent-samples T test was run to compare urban and rural pig farming systems. The research found <span>that there were differences of ages and feeding hours (P&lt;0.05) between those two farming systems. There<br /><span>were no differences in household members, experience, average pig owned, working hours, selling period, <span>litter size and number of farrowing. There are nine point of pig farming improvement that should be done to <span>sustain pig farming systems in Manokwari Papua. Education may be improved by provide informal and <span>skillful education. Pig ownership should be increased. Working hours must be increased. Pig keeping in the <span>pens should be done by farmers. Managing pigs with additional time is important so that pigs will be <span>maintained well. Litter sizes both in urban and rural are low, therefore further improvements are needed. <span>Recording pig productivities must be done by every farmer.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>(Key words: Arfak pig farmers, Pig performance, Rural pig farming, Urban pig farming)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></span></p>

<p>The objective of this study was to compare the characteristics of pig farming<br />performances of the three different agro-ecological zones, i.e. at island, coastal and lowland ecological zones. Sites represented island pig farmers were Biak and Yapen. Samples subsequently were taken from Samofa District and South Yapen District comprised of Famboaman, Anotaurei, Mariadei and Mantembu villages. Sites in Manokwari were taken from six districts and 15 villages. Characteristic of farmers and pig keeping systems such as household information, pig population and reproduction, and social technical aspects, were studied. Participatory research using interview and observation was separately done towards 155 pig farmers. Statistical analysis used Duncan multiple comparisons and Chi-square (χ2) were used to analyse the data. Coastal pig farmers are younger than island and lowland pig farmers. They have middle number of experiences compared to island pig farmers. The majority of farmers is men-pig farmers and has adequate household members. It was found that many are not educated and are elementary graduation. Altough their objectives are directed to commercial production system. Coastal pig farmers have higher number of animal population added to this is herd size per household compared to the two other agro-ecological zones. Feeding systems are practised in proper combination, such as feeding ration of physiological ages every day and feeding processing. Natural mating is practised by the majority of pig farmers. Several of pig farmers know the sign of oestrus, gestating and practising procedures of breed selection. Distance to market and distance to town are experienced by lowland pig farmers compared to coastal and island pig farmers. Perception of pig farmers is satisfy and they have lack of extensionist visiting, lack in middlemen visiting and positive social acceptances.</p><p>Key words: pig farming systems, agro-ecological zones, pig production, West Papua</p>

This paper expects to reveal the struggle of elderly female porters or buruh gendong who mostly had a historical background of working in industrial production (factory) but ended up being self-employed at Beringharjo traditional market of Yogyakarta. They used to work as factory workers. However, most factories collapsed in the aftermath of the 1997 economic crisis, especially in Southeast Asia. These older people from peri-urban (and rural) areas with lower-class status ended up in urban areas to be self-employed and became precarious workers. Therefore, the research questions are how they cope with the income uncertainties only to meet their daily needs and still desire their children to have a better living condition. Observations and interviews were done with 25 elderly female traditional porters as the research methods from 2020. They are primarily in the age range of late 50-80 years old. The results show that income uncertainties and social insecurity bring about precariousness. Buruh gendong have to work every day only to make ends meet. However, these conditions could also open up alternative perspectives that they often found themselves liberated from the control of industrial production. They do not work for capital owners or bosses; they work for themselves (self-employed). They are free or more flexible on working hours, but, at the same time, they have to accept their insecure employment. Buruh gendong also have desires for their children to be able to achieve a higher education level. Eventually, the desires are mostly unfulfilled; their children get unfortunate work and still live barely.

Differences in economic structure, differences in income levels, food price levels cause differences in household consumption patterns. This paper analyzes food diversification in Java. Households are grouped by income group to assess the level of food diversification of each group. Households whose income groups Q3 and Q4 have lower food diversification compared to households in groups Q1 and Q2. The study results show that the value of BI is greater than the value of MBI in both urban and rural areas. This indicates that the source of calories does not come from only one type of commodity. The increase in per capita expenditure does not increase food diversification (the dependent variable is BI) for households in groups Q1 and Q2, while it is positive for households in groups Q3 and Q4. Food prices generally affect diversification. An increase in the number of household members will reduce the level of diversification for Q1 households. In contrast, increasing the number of household members will increase food diversification for Q2, Q3 and Q4 households. The level of household diversification in urban areas is higher than in rural areas.

AbstractA survey was conducted in 150 households owning 1756 pigs in the rural areas of Mayo-Danay division in the north of Cameroon. A questionnaire survey was carried out to collect information on the pig-farming system and to identify potential risk factors for Taenia solium cysticercosis infection in pigs. Blood samples were collected from 398 pigs with the aim of estimating the seroprevalence of T. solium cysticercosis. The results showed that 90.7% of the pigs are free roaming during the dry season and that 42.7% of households keeping pigs in the rural areas have no latrine facility. Seventy-six per cent of the interviewed pig owners confirmed that members of the household used open-field defecation. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antigen and antibody detection showed an apparent prevalence of cysticercosis of 24.6% and 32.2%, respectively. A Bayesian approach, using the conditional dependence between the two diagnostic tests, indicated that the true seroprevalence of cysticercosis in Mayo-Danay was 26.6%. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that a lack of knowledge of the taeniasis–cysticercosis complex and the absence of a pig pen in the household were associated with pig cysticercosis.

The low public profile of soil science and its practitioners nationally and internationally is noted against a widespread general concern about food supplies and our collective ability to sustain soil resources for agriculture. The historical development of soil science as a recognised discipline is traced from the early Russian pedological work to the current proliferation of taxonomic approaches for codifying soil information; from the application of the basic sciences to measuring soil properties and understanding soil processes; and from traditional soil survey to modern `information technology" approaches to extending soil information in an easily accessible form to a variety of end-users. The provision of soil information systems and management models at appropriate scales, and the development of site-specific farming systems, are some of the key areas for contributions from soil scientists in the future. This opportunity exists in urban and rural areas. To grasp these opportunities, soil scientists will need to be more proactive in the scientific community, seeking to interact where possible with ecologists, engineers, economists, and social scientists to enhance the visibility and perceived importance of soil science across traditional boundaries. To raise further their public pro¯le, they will also need to make a success of their professional accreditation scheme.
