<p class="Default">ABSTRACT</p><p class="Default">The economic value of biological pesticides outside Indonesia is quite high, reaching US $ 1.8 billion, however, in Indonesia, the value is insignificant. The paper was aimed to discuss the commercialization of biological pesticides and research innovation to support its development. The biological pesticide formulation in Indonesia is limited; only 30 formulas (0.6%) are registered of the total 2475 registered pesticide formulations in 2012. The Ministry of Agriculture has produced 39 biological pesticide formulations that could be developed by pesticide companies for commercialization. The limited number of the registered biological pesticides shows serious constraints on their commercialization. One of the important constraint is lacking of standardization of the active ingredients and the formulations are short life. The Government, through The Ministry of Agriculture, emposes the Permentan no.39/ Permentan/SR.330/7/2015 in effort to encourage the commercialization of biological pesticides. The registrartion of biological pesticide do not require acute oral and dermal toxict data as that applied to synthetic pesticides. In addition, any government agency that has the duty and function of plant protection can apply for registration of biological pesticide. To improve the quality of biological pesticides that will attract investors, the role of research programs related to improving the quality of the biological pesticide formulation is needed.</p><p>Keywords: Biological pesticides, innovation, research innovation 16 Volume 14 Nomor 1, Juni 2015 : 15 -25</p><p> </p><p><strong>Inovasi Hasil Penelitian untuk Mendukung Komersialisasi Pestisida Biologi di Indonesia</strong></p><p class="Default">ABSTRAK</p><p class="Default">Nilai ekonomi pestisida biologi di luar negeri cukup tinggi, yaitu mencapai US$ 1,8 milyar, tetapi di Indonesia nilainya belum memadai. Makalah ini membahas kendala komersialisasi pestsida biologi dan dukungan inovasi penelitian untuk pengem-bangannya. Jumlah formulasi pestisida biologi di Indonesia masih terbatas; hanya 30 (0,6%) dari total 2475 formulasi pestisida yang terdaftar pada tahun 2012. Kementerian Pertanian telah menghasilkan 39 inovasi formulasi pestisida biologi yang siap dikembangkan oleh perusahaan pestisida untuk komersialisasi. Terbatasnya formula pestisida biologi yang diperdagangkan menunjukkan adanya kendala dalam komersialisasinya. Kendala utamanya adalah belum adanya standardisasi mutu bahan aktif dan masa simpan bahan aktif sangat pendek (<em>short life</em>). Upaya Pemerintah untuk mendorong komersialisasi pestisida biologi ditunjukkan dengan terbitnya Permentan No.39/Permentan/SR.330/7/2015. Dalam Permentan tersebut, pendaftaran pestisida biologi tidak mensyaratkan data hasil uji toksisitas akut oral dan akut dermal sebagaimana diberlakukan untuk pestisida sintetis. Di samping itu, instansi Pemerintah yang mempunyai tugas dan fungsi perlindungan tanaman dapat mengusulkan pendaftaran untuk pestisida biologi. Untuk meningkatkan mutu pestisida biologi yang masih beragam perlu dibuat standar bakunya sehingga keefektifannya bisa terjamin sehingga akan menarik investor untuk mengembangkannya. Oleh karena itu, peran penelitian berkaitan dengan peningkatan mutu formulasi pestisida biologi sangat diperlukan.</p><p class="Default">Kata kunci: Pestisida biologi, inovasi, dukungan penelitian</p>

<p>Transport infrastructure is the template upon which we build our inhabitations. Decisions regarding street arrangements, block sizes, and larger scale infrastructure design for example have an enduring and profound affect on the quality of our spatial environments. The conceptual framework we apply when generating and subsequently manipulating this template sets the parameters by which it is judged. By convention, transport infrastructure is considered a purely technical undertaking, within which designers rarely play any meaningful part. The spaces of mobility are thus from their very genesis conceived as instrumental in nature, judged as mere conduits whose function is to join meaningful places such as work and home, fulfilling an economic imperative. Recent research has shown however that affective, symbolic factors play a greater role than instrumental considerations in modal choice of commuters, suggesting that, to the end user at least, transport possesses a value beyond simple utility. Indeed, mobility itself is often cited as a defining characteristic of the modern world, implying a highly symbolic status. This gap between the instrumental conceptual framework we apply to transport infrastructure and the symbolically loaded experience of mobility is an opportunity for design to enrich the experience of users, framed in this research as commuters. Through investigation of the commute as a quotidian, secular ritual greater consideration is given to extra-economic value in the spaces of transport infrastructure. This research analyses the nature and function of ritual in contemporary secular life and argues for the applicability of a ritual framework for understanding value in transport infrastructure. The spatial implications of ritual (defined as symbol + action  and exhibiting the key sociocultural functions of mnemonic and liminality) are explored through the design of a harbour ferry terminal for Wellington.</p>

Declines in crop yield due to pests and diseases require the development of safe, green and eco-friendly pesticide formulations. A major problem faced by the agricultural industry is the use of conventional agrochemicals that contribute broad-spectrum effects towards the environment and organisms. As a result of this issue, researchers are currently developing various pesticide formulations using different nanotechnology approaches. The progress and opportunities in developing nanoemulsions as carriers for plant protection or nanodelivery systems for agrochemicals in agricultural practice have been the subject of intense research. New unique chemical and biologic properties have resulted in a promising pesticide nanoformulations for crop protection. These innovations—particularly the nanoemulsion-based agrochemicals—are capable of enhancing the solubility of active ingredients, improving agrochemical bioavailability, and improving stability and wettability properties during the application, thus resulting in better efficacy for pest control and treatment. All of these—together with various preparation methods towards a greener and environmentally friendly agrochemicals—are also discussed and summarized in this review.

Abstrak. Tanaman kacang tanah merupakan komoditi agrobisnis yang memiliki nilai ekonomi yang cukup tinggi dan salah satu sumber protein dan lemak dalam pola pangan masyarakat Indonesia. Kebutuhan kacang tanah dari tahun ke tahun mengalami peningkatan seiring dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk Indonesia, kebutuhan gizi masyarakat, diversifikasi pangan, serta meningkatnya kapasitas industry makanan dan pakan di Indonesia. Namun produksi kacang tanah di dalam negeri belum mencukupi kebutuhan penduduk Indonesia yang masih memerlukan impor dari luar negeri. Oleh sebab itu pemerintah  masih terus berusaha untuk meningkatkan produksi melalui intensifikasi dan perluasan areal pertanaman. Penggunaan pupuk hayati bioboost dan pupuk guano sebagai suatu pilihan dalam pengelolaan tanah untuk tujuan pemulihan dan peningkatan kualitas kesuburan tanah terdegradasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah Untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi pupuk hayati bioboost dengan dosis pupuk guano yang sesuai, serta mengetahui ada tidaknya interaksi yang nyata antara konsentrasi pupuk hayati bioboost dengan dosis pupuk guano terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman kacang tanah.Penelitian dilakukan di kebun percobaan sektor selatan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah kuala Darussalam Banda Aceh. Penelitian telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Oktober sampai Desember 2017. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rancangan acak kelompok pola faktorial 4 x 3 dengan 3 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pupuk hayati bioboost berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap jumlah polong, tetapi berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman umur 14, 21, dan 28 HST, berat polong, jumlah polong bernas, jumlah polong hampa, berat 100 butir biji, berat biji per tanaman dan potensi hasil. Pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman kacang tanah cenderung lebih baik di jumpai pada konsentrasi 10 ml/L air. Pemberian dosis  pupuk guano berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap jumlah polong bernas, berpengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah polong, berat biji per tanaman, dan potensi hasil dan berpengaruh tidak nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman umur 14, 21, dan 28 HST, berat polong, jumlah polong hampa dan berat 100 butir biji. Hasil yang cenderung lebih baik dijumpai pada dosis 20 ton/ha. Terdapat interaksi yang sangat nyata antara konsentrasi pupuk bioboost dengan dosis pupuk guano terhadap berat biji per tanaman dan potensi hasil serta nyata pada jumlah polong dan berat 100 butir biji.Kombinasi yang lebih baik dijumpai pada perlakuan konsentrasi pupuk bioboost 5 ml/Liter air dan dosis pupuk guano 20 ton/haAbstract. Peanut is an agricultural commodity with high level of economic value and one of protein and fat sources in Indonesian’s food pattern. The need of peanut from year to year increases as the population growth, the need of nutrient for society, food diversification and the capacity of food industry in Indonesia increase. Yet the domestic production of peanut has not reach the level of Indonesian’s need yet and needs to be imported from aboard. Hence, the government keeps struggling in order to increase the number of production through intensification and extention ofcultivating area. The use of biological bioboost manure and guano manure as choices in managing the soil in order to recover and increase the quality of degradated soil fertile. This research aims to know the effect of biological bioboost manure concentration and proper dose of guano manure, and to know whether there is a significant interaction between biological bioboost manure concentration and dose of guano manure toward peanut growth and production result. This research is done in pilot-field south sector of Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Syiah kuala Darussalam Banda Aceh. This research has been done during October to December 2017. The experimental plan used in this research is group random plan (RAK) factorial 4 x 3 pattern with 3 iterations. The result shows that biological bioboost manure has significant effect toward the number of beans, yet has no significant effect toward the height of plant age 14, 21 and 28 HST, weight of beans, number of filled out beans, number of empty beans, weight of 100 grain of seed, weight of seed per plant and potentional result. The concentration of bioboost manure tends to get better in effecting the growth and the result of peanut plantation in concentration of 10 ml/L water. The giving of dose of guano manure has significant effect toward number of filled out beans, number of beans, weight of seed per plant, and potential result yet has no significant effect toward the height of plant age 14, 21 and 28 HST, weight of beans, number of empty beans and weight of 100 grain of seed. The result tends to get better in dose of 20 ton/ha.

Stunting that has occurred if not addressed will cause public health problems. Investments in human resources are important to improve competitiveness, and tackling stunting be a concrete step that greatly contribute to improving the quality of life of the people. The achievement of reducing stunting rates is still far from the target, so a systematic evaluation of government programs is needed. The study applies quantitative and qualitative methods to describe the conditions of stunting and poverty in Palembang City, the factors that cause poverty, analyzes opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses in empowering activities for the poor and formulates strategies to alleviate stunting and poverty. Strategies to accelerate stunting reduction are family food security and parenting that determine nutritional adequacy and are strengthened by coordination of poverty alleviation programs, namely the New Entrepreneurial Growth Program and empowerment of micro and small businesses. Areas near the river have water plants “enceng gondok” that can be processed into products of economic value and also as a solution for river hygiene. The government policy must also support this activity by requiring the use of water hyacinth handicraft products as a solution to reducing plastic use. In addition, there are mussels or shellfish typical of the city of Palembang and fish which can be used as innovative products for the development of typical Palembang food besides pempek and crackers. The programs designed can be implemented effectively and achieve the desired goals by socializing and maximizing the number and quality of assistants in accordance with the number of poor people who must be assisted on an ongoing basis.

In realizing the role of political parties, legislative members had been faced with a battle of political discourse in the courtroom. The purpose of this study is to explore the political communication performance of legislators in the NTT provincial legislature in expressing party ideology. The research method that used is qualitative approach. The results shows that the expression of political party ideology verbally and nonverbally was carried out in accordance with the context and function of political communication politics, leading to the management of audience impressions that display positive emotions, politeness, and impression management and facework strategies. Besides that, the expression of the ideology of political parties by DPRD members is carried out in the form of political lobbying, political negotiations and political rhetoric which presents three political stages as a space for communication. The three forms of political communication have different political agendas communicated among DPRD members, between DPRD members and the government so that the context of political communication often experience message distortions and message inconsistencies which have implications for the quality of communication performance of DPRD members.

Purpose Craniofacial anomalies (CFA) often result in growth abnormalities of the facial skeleton adversely affecting function and appearance. The functional problems caused by the structural anomalies include upper airway obstruction, speech abnormalities, feeding difficulty, hearing deficits, dental/occlusal defects, and cognitive and psychosocial impairment. Managing disorders of the craniofacial skeleton has been improved by the technique known as distraction osteogenesis (DO). In DO, new bone growth is stimulated allowing bones to be lengthened without need for bone graft. The purpose of this clinical focus article is to describe the technique and clinical applications and outcomes of DO in CFA. Conclusion Distraction can be applied to various regions of the craniofacial skeleton to correct structure and function. The benefits of this procedure include improved airway, feeding, occlusion, speech, and appearance, resulting in a better quality of life for patients with CFA.

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers across Northern America and Europe. Treatment options offered are dependent on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the staging, and the overall health of the person. When surgery for lung cancer is offered, difficulty swallowing is a potential complication that can have several influencing factors. Surgical interaction with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can lead to unilateral vocal cord palsy, altering swallow function and safety. Understanding whether the RLN has been preserved, damaged, or sacrificed is integral to understanding the effect on the swallow and the subsequent treatment options available. There is also the risk of post-surgical reduction of physiological reserve, which can reduce the strength and function of the swallow in addition to any surgery specific complications. As lung cancer has a limited prognosis, the clinician must also factor in the palliative phase, as this can further increase the burden of an already compromised swallow. By understanding the surgery and the implications this may have for the swallow, there is the potential to reduce the impact of post-surgical complications and so improve quality of life (QOL) for people with lung cancer.
