This extension activity aimed to help Farmer Group partner of the "Sumber Hidup" in Sigerongan Village to increased the productivity of narrow land through the application of intercropping technology between okra crop and peanut genotypes. The program that implemented were the application of science and technology with stages of activities, namely: 1) dissemination activities "optimization of productivity of narrow land through the application of intercropping okra and peanuts and the application of technology to increased production of okra and peanut”. This activity was carried out with a lecture and discussion system between the Extension Team and the Farmer Group, and 2) plot demonstration program. Farmers directly participated in planing, planting, crop maintaining, comparing and evaluating whether the implemented program will benefit or not. The results of the activity showed that the farmers participating in the extension were very responsive to the dissemination of intercropping okra-peanut. This was reflected in the participants' enthusiasm in asking questions and having discussions between participants with Team. In addition, participants were also active in participating in each stage of activities such as selecting seed quality, making demonstration plots, planting, growing, weeding, controlling pests and diseases, and harvesting activities. The transformation process of the okra-peanut intercropping technology in the narrow land of Sigerongan Village has implemented,   with the hope that farmers will be able to take advantage the narrow land by planting intercropping. Cultivation of okra-peanut intercropping was more productive with an LER value of 2.28 compared to peanut monoculture and 1.35 compared to okra monoculture

Local Value

The quality of a seed lot results from the interaction of attributes that determine its overall value for a specific purpose. Seed Science and Technology is a widely recognised journal first published in 1973 as a continuation of the Proceedings of the International Seed Testing Association (1921 to 1972). The Journal publishes original papers and articles comprising different aspects of seed production, processing, storage, testing, genetic conservation, habitat regeneration and reforestation programs, with both basic and applied topics on seed science. Seed quality represents a permanent focus of Seed Science and Technology and the articles published in this issue, with a predominant approach on physiological potential, genetic purity and seed enhancement, confirm this strong commitment The species covered by the articles in this issue represent important worldwide grain, forage and ornamental crops, but there are also species with local value, for environmental restoration and medicinal application.

When successful, the operation of local and international networks of crop seed distribution or “seed systems” ensures farmer access to seed and impacts rural livelihoods and food security. Farmers are both consumers and producers in seed systems and benefit from access to global markets. However, phytosanitary measures and seed purity tests are also needed to maintain seed quality and prevent the spread of costly weeds, pests and diseases, in some countries regulatory controls have been in place since the 1800s. Nevertheless, seed contaminants are internationally implicated in between 7% and 37% of the invasive plant species and many of the agricultural pests and diseases. We assess biosecurity risk across international seed trade networks of forage crops using models of contaminant spread that integrate network connectivity and trade volume. To stochastically model hypothetical contaminants through global seed trade networks, realistic dispersal probabilities were estimated from quarantine weed seed detections and incursions from border security interception data in New Zealand. For our test case we use contaminants linked to the global trade of ryegrass and clover seed. Between 2014 and 2018 only four quarantine weed species (222 species and several genera are on the quarantine schedule) warranting risk mitigation were detected at the border. Quarantine weeds were rare considering that average import volumes were over 190 tonnes for ryegrass and clover, but 105 unregulated contaminant species were allowed in. Ryegrass and clover seed imports each led to one post-border weed incursion response over 20 years. Trade reports revealed complex global seed trade networks spanning >134 (ryegrass) and >110 (clover) countries. Simulations showed contaminants could disperse to as many as 50 (clover) or 80 (ryegrass) countries within 10 time-steps. Risk assessed via network models differed 18% (ryegrass) or 48% (clover) of the time compared to risk assessed on trade volumes. We conclude that biosecurity risk is driven by network position, the number of trading connections and trade volume. Risk mitigation measures could involve the use of more comprehensive lists of regulated species, comprehensive inspection protocols, or the addition of field surveillance at farms where seed is planted.

AbstrakMainan Warak Ngendog merupakan media pembelajaran orang tua kepada anak agar mereka menjaga mainan tersebut dengan cara menjalankan ibadah puasa dengan baik sehingga mendapat endog (telur). Namun, anak-anak sekarang lebih mengemari karakter-karakter seperti Doraemon dan Upin ipin yang tercermin pada jenis mainan yang dijual pada saat Dugderan. Hal ini membuat mainan Warak Ngendog semakin tergeser dan mulai dilupakan padahal di dalamnya terdapat nilai budaya, nilai moral, dan nilai keterampilan yang dapat membantu perkembangan sosial dan kecerdasan motorik, afektif serta kognitif anak. Mainan tradisional agar tetap lestari harus mampu mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Sehingga dengan memanfaatkan perkembangan IPTEK saat ini, mainan Warak Ngendog dapat ditransformasikan ke dalam bentuk mainan yang modern dengan tetap mempertahankan nilai budaya tradisinya. Penelitian ini mengusulkan tranformasi mainan tradisional Warak Ngendog melalui metode ATUMICS. Metode ATUMICS menganalisis elemen budaya menurut teknik (technique), kegunaan (utility), materi (material), ikon (icon), konsep (concept), dan bentuknya (shape). Sesuai prinsip seleksi dalam proses transformasi, elemen budaya yang dapat dipertahankan akan dipadukan dengan unsur mainan saat ini yang lebih menarik bagi anak-anak. Sebagai hasil akhirnya didapatkan model mainan modern hasil transformasi mainan tradisional Warak Ngendog seperti mainan berbentuk action figure, model kit, hingga aplikasi game. Kata kunci: budaya, mainan, transformasi, Warak Ngendog. AbstractWarak Ngendog toy is a learning media for children to carry out fast so they get endog (eggs). However, children are now more interested in characters like Doraemon and Upin Ipin which are seen in the kinds of toys sold at Dugderan. This makes Warak Ngendog toy increasingly shifted and forgotten. Whereas, there are cultural values, moral values, and skill values that can help social development and motoric, affective and cognitive intelligence of children. Traditional toys to stay sustainable must be able to keep up with the times. By utilizing the development of science and technology today, Warak Ngendog toy can be transformed into a modern toy form while maintaining its traditional cultural value. This research proposes the transformation of Warak Ngendog toy through the ATUMICS method. The ATUMICS method analyzes cultural elements according to technique, utility, material, icon, concept, and shape. In accordance with the principle of selection in the transformation process, cultural elements that can be maintained will be combined with elements of toys that are more attractive to children today. As a result, there are several modern toy models that have been transformed by the traditional Warak Ngendog toy like the action figure, model kit, and game application.

Slowly, the Indonesian people may be used to being free from the problem of nutritional deficiencies. What happened actually entered a transition from malnutrition to excess nutrition. In fact, the problem of excess nutrition began to afflict low economic class society. That is, those with low economic levels, are not likely to suffer from chronic degenerative diseases such as the heart. Although energy and nutrient requirements are greater in adolescents than adults, there are some teenagers who eat too much more than they need to be fat. Adolescent age (10-18 years) is a period of nutritional susceptibility due to various reasons, namely first teenagers need higher nutrition because of increased physical growth. Second, there are changes in lifestyle and eating habits. Third, adolescents have special nutritional needs, for example the needs of athletes. Changing eating habits one of them occurs due to widespread globalization. Teenagers are one of the target groups who are at risk of experiencing more nutrition. More nutrition in adolescents is characterized by relatively excessive body weight when compared to the age or height of adolescent age, as a result of excessive accumulation of fat in body fat tissue. According to Law No. 36 of 2009 concerning Health explained that health efforts are any activities and / or a series of activities carried out in an integrated, integrated and sustainable manner to maintain and improve public health degrees in the form of disease prevention, health improvement, disease treatment, and health recovery by the government and / or community. Therefore it is necessary to strive to prevent obesity by means of counseling and giving obesity detection devices. The method used in this extension activity is in the form of focused discussion which begins with a lecture and then is carried out by asking questions directly. Through lectures instructors can deliver material that is important to be known and understood by students while through question and answer can complement unclear material and to help provide input on the problems faced by students about obesity. The provision of obesity detection devices is expected to help students to pay more attention to their health problems.

The paper discusses the transformation of Finnish science and technology policy from the mid-1960s until today. The basic argument of the paper is that, if there is a “Finnish model” of science and technology policy, it was not created in the years of rapid growth in the Finnish economy after the deep economic and societal depression of the early 1990s. The Finnish transformation process in a policy for science and technology is characterized by a gradual change of more than three decades through incremental improvements in policy doctrines, institutions, organizations and instruments. After a short period of diversity at the turn of the 1970s, the pervasive trend has been an increase in technology and innovation orientation of science and technology policy. The policy has been based on national specificities, but more on active adoption of policy doctrines and institutional and organizational models from the countries, like Sweden, which from the Finnish perspectives have been considered successful and legitimate.
