Tobacco  was one of   priority  commodity  in Rejang  Lebong  district  to develop,  its supported  by suitable micro climate and farmer behavior so long. The research  were objected  to analyze the influencing factors on produdion  and minimum  economic scale of tobacco  farming system  at Rejang Lebong District. These tried to answer thorugh the cob-douglas  and break even point  analyses. The research  showed  that area  (x 1),  TSP fertilizer  (x3),  ZA  fertlizer  (x4)  significantly  influence  to  tobacco  production.   Minimum economic  scale of tobacco  farming system  around  0.07 ha but farmers  scale  about  0.49 ha. It meaned that farmet tobacco were already in comerdal/economic   scale. Improving  the prcxluction  could be attained thorugh  extensification  and intesification  . extensification  in the way of extended  the  croping  area, while intesification  by improving  fertilizers  of TSP and ZA  to optimal  level  of usage.  others  factors  should  be another  farmer  focus to increas  prcxluction such  quality of seed,  integrated  and environmental  pestici~e and so forth. Keywords:  Minimum economic scale, farming system, tobacco

ABSTRAK<br />Tembakau Temanggung merupakan komoditas penting bahan baku<br />industri rokok kretek, sumber pendapatan petani dan PAD Kabupaten<br />Temanggung. Selain itu, tembakau juga menjadi pemicu pertumbuhan<br />kegiatan ekonomi lainnya yang terkait dengan usahatani, seperti<br />transportasi, penyediaan sarana produksi pertanian serta penyediaan<br />lapangan kerja. Usahatani tembakau Temanggung menghadapi 3 (tiga)<br />masalah utama, yaitu: sifat tembakau Temanggung yang tergolong fancy<br />product, struktur pasar yang monopsonistik dan kondisi lahan usahatani<br />yang beragam (beragam menurut elevasi, arah lereng dan tingkat<br />kemiringan lereng). Kondisi lahan tersebut mengakibatkan mutu tembakau<br />menjadi beragam, dan cenderung menurun bahkan mengancam keber-<br />lanjutan usahatani tembakau. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan bulan Januari<br />2004 - Maret 2005 di sentra produksi tembakau Temanggung, yang<br />memiliki beberapa perbedaan berdasarkan elevasi, arah lereng dan tingkat<br />kemiringan. Untuk mengetahui ragam mutu dan produktivitas dianalisis<br />dengan sidik ragam. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh elevasi, arah dan<br />kemiringan  lereng  digunakan  analisis  regresi  berganda.  Dalam<br />menganalisis keberlanjutan usahatani, digunakan multi atribut non-<br />parametrik yang diolah dengan multidimentional scaling (MDS). Mutu dan<br />produktivitas tembakau Temanggung cukup beragam. Elevasi dan arah<br />lereng (slope aspect) merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi mutu<br />dan produktivitas tembakau Temanggung. Mutu tembakau yang ditanam<br />pada lahan berelevasi di atas 1.000 m dpl, nyata lebih baik dibandingkan<br />dengan mutu tembakau yang ditanam pada lahan yang berelevasi kurang<br />dari 1.000 m dpl. Produktivitas tembakau yang ditanam pada lahan arah<br />lereng ke timur nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan produktivitas<br />tembakau pada lahan arah lereng ke timur laut dan utara. Tingkat<br />kemiringan lereng tidak berpengaruh terhadap mutu maupun produktivitas<br />tembakau. Indeks keberlanjutan usahatani tembakau Temanggung,<br />termasuk kedalam kategori cukup (IKb = 55,53 pada skala keberlanjutan 0<br />– 100).<br />Kata kunci : Tembakau, Nicotiana tabacum L., tembakau Temanggung,<br />mutu, produktivitas, indeks keberlanjutan, usahatani, Jawa<br />Tengah<br />ABSTRACT<br />Analysis of quality, productivity and sustainability and<br />development direction of tobacco farming in Temanggung<br />District, Central Java<br />Temanggung tobacco is an important commodity for cigarette<br />industry, farmers’ income and product domestic regional brutto (PDRB)<br />of Temanggung District. Tobacco stimulates economy activities, so that it<br />can grow other bussiness activities, such as transportation, agroproduct<br />and employment availability. Uncontrolled cultivation intensity and<br />market structure monopsonistic resulted in weak bargaining position of<br />farmer in marketing tobacco. Tobacco is a fancy product, it means that its<br />marketing and transaction are very determined by quality. These<br />conditions affected the sustainability of tobacco farm. This research was<br />carried out from January 2004 to March 2005 in the center of Temanggung<br />tobacco production, which varies in terms of elevation, slope aspect and<br />topography. Temanggung tobacco varies in terms of quality and<br />productivity. Elevation and slope aspect were the primary factors<br />influencing tobacco productivity and quality. The quality of tobacco<br />planted at farmer location at the elevation more than 1.000 m above sea<br />level (asl) with slope facing east, was significantly better than the quality<br />of tobacco planted at the elevation less than 1.000 m asl with slope facing<br />north-east and north. The tobacco productivity planted on the slope facing<br />east differed significantly with the tobacco productivity planted on north-<br />east and north slope facing. The slope did not significantly influence<br />tobacco quality and productivity. Sustainability index of tobacco farm<br />belongs to enough category (IKb = 55.53 at scale of sustainability 0 –<br />100).<br />Key words : Nicotiana tabacum L. Temanggung tobacco, quality,<br />productivity, sustainability index, farming system, Central<br />Java

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) has grown to become a major cash crop and foreign currency earner in Zimbabwe. The crop’s popularity in the country is dependent on the climatic and soil conditions that promote the production of flavour style cures which are well sought after by the majority of tobacco merchants and cigarette manufacturers across the world. The success story of tobacco farming in Zimbabwe is mainly attributed to the presence of an organised research system in the form of the Tobacco Research Board (TRB) that includes a dedicated division in the research unit specialising in variety development and promotion. Improvement in yield and quality of the cured leaf has are the main objectives of flue –cured tobacco breeders. Since the beginning of research in flue cured tobacco production in Zimbabwe, a lot of effort has been dedicated to improving these and other associated traits. This review paper traces the process of breeding for improvement in yield and quality in flue-cured tobacco in Zimbabwe. It shows the methods employed and identifies some of the potential sources of genes for use in improvement in flue-cured tobacco yield and quality in present and future breeding work.

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life. Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life. Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security. Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.

This chapter describes some of the many pitfalls that may be encountered when developing the calorimeter system for a particle physics experiment. Several of the examples chosen for this chapter are based on the author’s own experience. Typically, the performance of a new calorimeter is tested in a particle beam provided by an accelerator. The potential pitfalls encountered in correctly assessing this performance both concern the analysis and the interpretation of the data collected in such tests. The analysis should be carried out with unbiased event samples. Several consequences of violating this principle are illustrated with practical examples. For the interpretation of the results, it is very important to realize that the conditions in a testbeam are fundamentally different than in practice. This has consequences for the meaning of the term “energy resolution”. It is shown that the way in which the results of beam tests are quoted may create a misleading impression of the quality of the tested instrument.

Background: Factors related to medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia have always been key to the treatment and rehabilitation of these patients. However, the treatment modes in different countries are not the same, and there is no research on the factors influencing medication adherence under different mental health service modes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore medication adherence and its influencing factors in patients with schizophrenia in the Chinese institutional environment. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia from November 2018 to January 2019. A systematic sampling method was used to select 217 hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia. The Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS), and Scale of Social Skills for Psychiatric Inpatients (SSPI) were used to explore medication compliance and its influencing factors in the Chinese institutional environment. Results: The descriptive analysis and ANOVA showed that there were no significant differences in medication adherence when assessed by demographic characteristics such as sex, marital status, and education level (p > 0.05). A correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between medication adherence and mental symptoms (p > 0.05) but that there was a positive correlation with self-efficacy, quality of life, and activities of daily living (p < 0.01). The linear regression analysis showed that self-efficacy, psychosocial factors, symptoms/side effects, and activities of daily living had significant effects on medication adherence (F = 30.210, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings show that the self-efficacy, quality of life, and social function of patients with schizophrenia are important self-factors influencing medication adherence in the Chinese institutional environment.

There is a growing interest in organizational interventions (OI) aiming to increase employees’ well-being. An OI involves changes in the way work is designed, organized, and managed. Studies have shown that an OI’s positive results are increased if there is a good fit between context and intervention and between participant and intervention. In this article, we propose that a third fit—the Relational Fit (R-Fit)—also plays an important role in determining an intervention’s outcome. The R-Fit consists of factors related to 1) the employees participating in the OI, 2) the intervention facilitator, and 3) the quality of the relation between participants and the intervention facilitator. The concept of the R-Fit is inspired by research in psychotherapy documenting that participant factors, therapist factors, and the quality of the relations explain 40% of the effect of an intervention. We call attention to the importance of systematically evaluating and improving the R-Fit in OIs. This is important to enhance the positive outcomes in OIs and thereby increase both the well-being and productivity of employees. We introduce concrete measures that can be used to study and evaluate the R-Fit. This article is the first to combine knowledge from research in psychotherapy with research on OIs.
