Indonesia seems to face the crisis of local language, especially in urbanization. The emergence of English as a lingua franca is undeniable to decrease the existence of vernaculars. The research aims to reveal the reason for urbanization giving the biggest impact on the Indonesian’s local language in South Sulawesi and how to maintain the use of local language is facing extinction in this century. This study applied a descriptive qualitative design by interviewing three subjects. They are lecturers and students. The interview result showed that globalization is one of the plagues that had the impact on vernaculars becoming threatened in this present day, influenced people to obey their vernaculars, and also affected the youths’ psychological order and their perception. It is due to the significant use of international or national language and the less effort from the government in maintaining the vernaculars, particularly in South Sulawesi. One suggestion can be proposed that local content needs to be involved in the Education sector e.g., intensifying vernacular use in school and family, and sustainably promoting cultural heritage to attract the society.

In Indonesia, where diarrhea remains a major cause of mortality among children <5 years, the government promotes boiling of drinking water. We assessed the impact of boiling on water quality in South Sulawesi. We surveyed randomly selected households with at least one child <5 years old in two rural districts and tested source and stored water samples for Escherichia coli contamination. Among 242 households, 96% of source and 51% of stored water samples yielded E. coli. Unboiled water samples, obtained from 15% of households, were more likely to yield E. coli than boiled samples [prevalence ratios (PR) = 2.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7–2.5]. Water stored in wide-mouthed (PR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.1–1.8) or uncovered (PR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.3–2.4) containers, or observed to be touched by the respondent's hands (PR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.3–2.1) was more likely to yield E. coli. A multivariable model showed that households that did not boil water were more likely to have contaminated stored water than households that did boil water (PR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.5–2.3). Although this study demonstrated the effectiveness of boiling in reducing contamination, overall impact on water quality was suboptimal. Future studies are needed to identify factors behind the success of boiling water in Indonesia to inform efforts to scale up other effective water treatment practices.

The main directions of the state activity on providing bilingual education in the preschool sector of Singapore, as well as unification and regulation of the functioning of Singapore’s preschool educational institutions in the field of language education are studied. It was found that the conceptual framework “Nurturing early learners”, proposed by the Ministry of Education of Singapore, allowed creating a single conceptual and methodological basis for the development of curricula in each individual preschool institution. Another focus of the Singaporean government has been turned to reducing the impact of English and Chinese dominance in the country’s preschool sector and to increasing the number of Malay and Tamil language programs in preschools for ensuring equal access to language education for all Singaporean ethnic groups by opening new kindergartens with an offer to study English and three native languages (optional).Conclusions. It was determined that the country’s bilingual policy was implemented with the pragmatic goal of uniting a multinational society and achieving economic growth, on the one hand, and preserving the national heritage, culture and traditions of the ethnic groups living in Singapore, on the other. Despite the private nature of Singapore’s pre-school education sector, the government is actively involved in regulating it, including language education, ensuring the principle of meritocracy by meeting the needs of all ethnic groups in language education at the pre-school level.Key words: language policy, language education, bilingualism, preschool education, English, native lan-guage, educational process.

As English Literature students, they are more exposed to media in Bahasa Indonesia. On the campus, English is only used for academic purposes, Bahasa Indonesia for communicating with lecturers while Javanese is for a casual talk with classmates. Javanese is close to traditional commerce while for the modern one, they prefer to use Bahasa Indonesia. For cognitive and mental activities, Bahasa Indonesia is the most dominant, and Javanese is used more than English. These results imply that rather than conforming to the law made by the government, contexts play a more important role in forming people’s language choices.Keywords: multilingualism, local language, national language, foreign language, English Literature UNY POLA PENGGUNAAN BAHASA MAHASISWA MULTILINGUAL JURUSAN BAHASA INGGRISSebagai negara multibahasa, pemerintah Indonesia telah menetapkan posisi bahasa daerah, bahasa nasional, dan bahasa asing dalam pendidikan melalui Undang-Undang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional No.20 tahun 2003, Bab VII, Pasal 33.

<p>In order to maintain the stability of rice price the government establishes rice ceiling price (RCP) policy based on rice quality and distribution areas. This policy was issued through the Minister of Trade Regulation No. 57/2017 in effect since 1 September 2017. This study aims to examine the impact of RCP policy on profitability of rice farming, rice prices in traditional and modern markets, shift in rice quality, and paddy and rice procurement by Perum Bulog. This study was conducted in three rice producing provinces, namely West Java, East Java and South Sulawesi. After implementation of RCP policy, profitability of rice farming increased, market prices for medium quality rose approaching the medium RCP, and premium rice price tended to decline but still stable close to RCP. Most rice sold in the markets shifted from medium to premium quality. Government rice procurement conducted by Bulog decreased significantly. Besides profit margins, lack of binding of broken grain criteria for medium and premium rice qualities and absence of certification regarding the differentiation of both qualities may affect rice quality shifting. It is suggested that RCP policy should implemented with clear and firm regulation on rice quality criteria.</p><p> </p><p>Abstrak</p><p>Beras merupakan makanan pokok bagi sebagian besar penduduk Indonesia. Dalam upaya menjaga stabilitas harga beras, pemerintah menetapkan patokan harga eceran tertinggi (HET) berdasarkan jenis beras dan wilayah edarnya. Kebijakan ini ditetapkan melalui Permendag No. 57 tahun 2017 yang berlaku sejak 1 September 2017. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implikasi kebijakan penerapan HET beras tersebut terhadap profitabilitas usahatani padi, harga beras di pasar tradisional dan modern, pergeseran kualitas beras yang diperdagangkan, dan penyerapan gabah-beras petani oleh Perum Bulog Kajian dilaksanakan di tiga provinsi sentra beras, yaitu Jawa Barat, Jawa Timur dan Sulawesi Selatan. Kajian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa profitabilitas usahatani padi meningkat setelah penetapan HET beras;  harga beras medium cenderung naik mendekati batas HET medium, sedangkan harga beras premium cenderung menurun namun masih stabil tinggi mendekati batas HET premium; kualitas beras yang diperdagangkan sebagian  bermigrasi dari beras medium ke premium; dan pengadaan gabah pemerintah oleh Bulog  serapan gabah-beras petani oleh Bulog mengalami penurunan. Selain margin keuntungan, longgarnya kriteria butir patah beras medium dan premium serta belum adanya sertifikasi mengenai pembedaan kualitas medium dan premium ditengarai menjadi faktor migrasi kualitas beras yang diperdagangkan. Disarankan penetapan HET perlu disertai dengan pengaturan yang lebih tegas mengenai kriteria kualitas beras medium dan premium. Selain itu, pemerintah untuk mengawasi  kepatuhan pedagang, perlu dilakukan  akreditasi terhadap beras premium kemasan yang beredar di pasar.</p>

This showed by PCR values in some production areas less than 1 and for competitive advantage, indicated by DRCR values in production areas also less than 1. Analysis of the Government policy aspect, the government has been able to provide positive incentives for maize farming in North Jawa, Centre of Jawa and West Java. The impact of government policy on inputs and outputs simultaneously can provide a positive incentive to farmers at maize production sites in Java. But the government’s policy hasn’t been able to provide for output in Sulawesi Selatan.  The conclusion is the fourth centres of maize production have competitive and comparative advantage. Sulawesi Selatan has high comparative advantages, so Sulawesi Selatan has high  potential to improve maize farming.
