PT Adaro Indonesia is trying to adjust a vertical clearance under Tabalong Bridge 1 (unloaded) and Tabalong Bridge 2 (loaded) because the existing conditions still apply a minimum vertical clearance of 4 m. I t should be in accordance with latest Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 19/PRT/M/2011 that for vertical clearance above national road at least 5.1 m. This specification has not been met by the national road under the Tabalong 1 & 2 Bridges bec ause both bridges were built in the 90s. Therefore we need an engineering technique to overcome this. There are 2 alternative designs, namely lowering the elevation of the national road and increasing the elevation of the bridge's upper structure to mitiga te oversized vehicles so as not to hit the lower structure of the Tabalong bridge. In determining the selection of the best alternative designs in this research is based on two (2) things, non financial criteria with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and financial criteria with Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)/Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) method. This study uses a survey method by distributing questionnaires and interviews as a means of collecting primary data. In addition, previous research and consultant DED documents were used as a means of collecting secondary data. The AHP method is used to process primary data to produce a decision from a non financial aspect. While the LCC/BCR method is used to process secondary data to produce a decision from the financi al aspect . The results of the AHP analysis obtained that the synthesis value of the decision the option of lowering national roads was 85% and the bridge lifting option was 15% and the consistency ratio (CR) was 0.05 < 0.1. The consistency ratio below 0.1 shows that the questionnaire data from the respondents are consistent. The results of the analysis of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) obtained the option of lowering national roads where the LCC value is Rp. 44,877,651,669.27 more economical than the bridge lifting option. Then the results of the Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) analysis obtained the option of lowering national roads with a BCR value of 2.33 > 1 and NPV = Rp. 43,442,264,804.34 > 1 means that the option lowering national roads is feasible. While the bridge li fting option is obtained by analyzing the value of BCR = 0.98 < 1 and NPV = option is not feasible to implement.

Abstract The study provided economic justification for private sector investment in developing, revitalizing and making operable, the rail-freight-corridors between hub-seaports and inland container depots in Nigeria. It estimated the operator-benefits and profitability potentials of investment in each of the ten rail-freight-corridors consisting of existing but inoperable and proposed rail routes from the major seaports to the Inland container depots in different geopolitical regions of Nigeria. Secondary data on the import and export (cargo generation) capacities of each of the ICD regions to and from the respectively connected hub-seaport were obtained from the Nigerian ports authority statistical report covering a period of two years (2018 – 2019) based upon which the annual expected revenue earnings of the operators were estimated. The cost of investment was also obtained. Benefit-Cost-Ratio (BCR) and Net Present Value (NPV) were used to estimate the operator-benefits and profitability potentials of each rail route. It was found that six of the rail routes have BCR > 1; and NPV>0; implying higher operator-benefits over costs within the period while four of the rail-routes have BCR <1; and NPV <0; implying higher operator-costs over benefits.

<p>Penguasaan lahan dan produktivitas kakao di tingkat petani masih sangat rendah sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya pendapatan petani. Kabupaten Kolaka merupakan salah satu sentra utama kakao dengan jumlah petani kakao sangat besar di Sulawesi Tenggara. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui profil dan kelayakan usahatani kakao di tingkat petani. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Atula dan Desa Dangia, Kecamatan Ladongi, Kabupaten Kolaka Sulawesi Tenggara pada bulan April sampai Juli 2012. Pengambilan data menggunakan metode survei dengan wawancara langsung terhadap 30 orang petani kakao yang diambil secara acak sederhana. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan kelayakan usahatani melalui analisis benefit cost ratio (B/C ratio), net present value (NPV), dan internal rate of return (IRR). Hasil analisis dengan discount factor 18% per tahun diketahui nilai NPV Rp19.646.384,00; B/C ratio 2,87; dan IRR 51% sehingga diketahui usahatani layak untuk diusahakan. Pendapatan petani Rp7.697.674,00/tahun (Rp641.743,00/bulan). Jika produktivitas tetap (773 kg/ha) diperoleh break even point (BEP) harga sebesar Rp8.043,00/kg. Jika harga tetap (Rp18.000,00/kg), BEP produktivitas adalah 345,5 kg/ha/tahun. Periode pengembalian modal pada tahun keenam. Hal ini menunjukkan usahatani kakao di lokasi penelitian dapat memberikan sumbangan pendapatan ke petani, meskipun dengan keuntungan relatif kecil. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, luas areal minimal untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup layak petani adalah 2 ha atau produktivitas di atas 1,5 ton/ha/tahun.</p><p>Kata kunci: Profil usahatani, pendapatan petani, kelayakan usahatani, kakao</p><p>Limitation of land tenure and productivity in farmers’ level causing lower farmers income. Kolaka District is one of cocoa main producers in Southeast Sulawesi with a large number of farmers. The objective of this study was to investigate the profile and feasibility of cocoa farming system in farmers level. The research was conducted at Atula and Dangia Village, Ladongi Subdistrict, Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, in April to July 2012.

A field experiment was conducted at the farming system research and development site Lebukhali, Patuakhali of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute during 1999 and 2000 to study the effect of seed soaking duration before sowing on yield of two mungbean varieties BARImung-2 and BARImung-5. Seeds were soaked with fresh water for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. The results revealed that plants produced with 4 hours soaking gave the maximum seed yield (1379 kg/ha). BARImung-5 produced higher yield (1457 kg/ha) than that of BARImung 2. Control (no soaking) gave lower yield. The highest benefit cost ratio (3.51) was obtained from 4 hours soaking. Key words: Mungbean variety, time of seed soaking, yield.
