A drone is a fast-growing technology that has been used in many applications in the world. The drone also is a new solution for the transportation process in the agricultural sector. The primary purpose of this project is to explore the potential of drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to reduce the dependence on fossil-fueled vehicles to transport the crops within the farm and from the farm to the seller. The use of drones will create lower emission of carbon dioxide and toxic gases that are usually generated by fossil-fueled vehicles. Besides, this research is also essential to reduce the health issues that currently appear from agriculture activities. The objective of this project is to determine the parameters to design a suitable drone for transportation in the agricultural sector. In addition, the design of the drone must be able to carry a maximum of 10 kg of payload, which can be analyzed by simulation and analysis. The simulation and analysis are performed by SolidWorks software. The conceptual design of the drone is proposed by following the George E. Dieter model of the design process. In addition, a simulation on the strength of the drone components and analysis on the thrust of the motor have been conducted to verify the proposed drone design concept based on the determined parameters. The cost estimation of the drone is about RM17683.65 and the overall weight is 26.823 kg. In conclusion, the drone design concept for transportation in the agricultural sector is proposed as a preliminary study for future works.

Protection of a domestic manufacturing industry to encourage its expansion through import substitution is equivalent (in the absence of equal protection for agriculture) to a “tax” on agriculture to support the development of the industrial sector. To call this policy of biasing the intersectoral terms of trade to favor industry a typical strategy of underdeveloped countries would be, if anything, to understate its universality. The arguments for and against such a strategy are well known, and an approximation of the benefits to the industrial sector can be gleaned from the national accounts of many countries. What remains hidden in the accounts, however, is the cost to the agricultural sector as a result of its being forced to trade at less favorable terms of trade than those provided by the world market. The purpose of this paper is to work out a simple methodology for measuring this cost and then to attempt an estimate of the cost in a particular case.

Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease in all over the world caused by SARS-COV-2 virus. This disease also spread all over Indonesia. The cost of treating People Under Surveillance and Patient under Monitoring, also confirmed patient of COVID-19 will be financed by the Indonesian Government. This research aimed to identify the estimated cost for treating the Covid-19 patients in Indonesia. The calculation method used top up costs and INA CBGs based on the number of hospitalized positive patients. The data source was COVID-19 data in Central Java and national data. Case growth calculated by doubling time positive cases of COVID-19 in Central Java were 1.7 (range 1.73 – 2.73). Range of days was between 6-8 days. The amount of top up cost for one day treatment refers to Health Ministry of Indonesia Decree Number HK.01.07/MENKES/238/2020 and cost estimation of INACBGs with the severity level II and III. This calculation did not include donations, outpatients and other costs. The result of this study, estimation if patients were treated in ICU for 8 days and non ICU for 7 days, and the rest of inpatients according to INACBs, so the cost of COVID-19 treatment for 14 – 28 days estimated at 75.7-77.3 million rupiah/patient. Whereas if the patient treated in ICU for 14 days and non ICU for 14 days, the rest of inpatient according to INACBs, the cost for COVID-19 treatment estimated at 130.4- 133.2 million rupiah/patient. The COVID-19 treatment is quite expensive and can be a burden for the Government of Indonesia’s budget. In addition, the limited access and health facilities also become an obstacle. Strengthening promotive and preventive efforts are needed to prevent the surge of COVID-19 case. Policies which support strict social and physical distancing are needed so that the interventions become more effective.

The Cost

The growing human population added to the rural exodus has aggravated the pressure in the agricultural sector for greater production. Faced with this problem, research has developed optical sensors for more productive agriculture with the purpose of minimizing the effects of rural exodus, obtaining rapid information and promoting the rational use of natural resources. Optical sensors have a differential consisting of the ability to use the spectral signature of an attribute or part of it to gain information, often not obvious. This review provides recent advances in optical sensors as well as future challenges. The studies have shown the wide range of applicability of optical sensors in agriculture, from detection of weeds to identification of soil fertility, which favors management in different areas of agriculture. The main limitation to the use of optical sensors in agriculture in most parts of the world has been the cost of purchasing the devices, especially in poor countries. So one of the future challenges is the reduction of final prices paid by consumers.
