THINK IN SASAK, SPEAK IN ENGLISH

The emerging use of English in many fields have spread to all over the world. Contact between languages is then unavoidable. In Lombok, it can be witnessed three ways of how English has spread to the society, formal and informal learning, and non-formal acquisition. This study begins with a prior study finding the various attributes of Sasak and Indonesian languages that occurred in an English language class. The primary focus of the study is tracing the conceptualization of Sasak people in the English of learners, or thought in this study. The term conceptualization is taken from the emerging notion suggested by Farzad Sharifian (2007, 2015) to describe various concepts that exist and live within certain community. In this respect, this study conducts classroom observation to record the gamut of interaction and, therefore, is used to trace the concepts originated from Sasak community. Regarding the two focus of the study is concept and its manifestation in the language of the people, this study also uses the approach suggested by Hakan Ringborn (2007), i.e. cross-linguistic study, to enable the investigation of cross-similarities between the two languages. All data in recorded in observation sheets are then reduced, displayed, and used to draw conclusion, as suggested by Miles and Huberman (2004)

Peranan Varietas Tahan Hama dalam Pengendalian Hama Terpadu pada Tanaman Kedelai

Di Indonesia, kedelai mempunyai peranan yang penting dalam USAhatani tanaman pangan setelah padi .kedelai bukan komoditas strategis ,tetapi sangat dibutuhkan oleh sebagian besar penduduk untuk menu sehari-hari , pendapatan tunai bagi petani ,dan bahan baku industri .sejumlah serangga hama yang menyerang kedelai mulai saat tumbuh sampai menjelang panen adalah risiko produksi kedelai.Keberhasilan swasembada beras tahun 1984, merupakan salah satu contoh dan faktor yang mendorong penerapan pengendalian hama terpadu (PHT) pada tanaman padi di Indonesia, tetapi pada tanaman kedelai sebagai sistem pengendalian Organisme Pengganggu Tanaman (OPT), program PHT baru dimulai pada tahun 1990-an. Untuk mempercepat penerapan PHT,dilakukan melalui berbagai Latihan Sekolah Lapangan Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (SLPHT) kedelai dan pendidikan lanjutan bagi para PHP di beberapa perguruan tinggi. Program pemuliaan kedelai saat itu, masih ditekankan pada potensi hasil Program pemuliaan tahan terhadap hama belum mendapatkan perhatian karena sistem dan program penelitian masih bersifat fragmentasi dan tujuan jangka pendek. Dengan PHT diharapkan bahwa populasi hama dapat dipertahankan di bawah ambang ekonomi. Penurunan populasi hama dengan pestisida kimia lebih menekankan laju kematian,sedangkan penurunan populasi dengan penggunaan varietas tahan adalah menurunkan laju perkembangan hama (penurunan kesuburan,kepribadian serangga,dan memperlambat pertumbuhan serangga). Varietas tahan dapat dikombinasikan dengan cara atau komponen pengendalian yang lain,sehingga varietas kedelai tahan hama akan meningkatkan stabilitas PHT. Untuk membentuk varietas tahan hama diperlukan kerjasama lintas disiplin,keterpaduan program dan priorita

PENGARUH KOMPOSISI MEDIA DAN JENIS PUPUK DAUN TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN BIBIT TANAMAN JARAK (Jatropha curcas L.)

This research aimed was to find out the composition of media and leaf fertilizer fix with the seed Jathropa curcas. The research was done in December 2007 to March 2008 in Experiment Garden University Muhammadiyah of Malang. The research used randomized black design (RBD) with 2 faktor and 3 time replications. Firs factor was media composition (soil : sand : bamboo humus ,soil : sand : husk, soil : sand : organic fertilizer). Second factor liquid fertilizer : without liquid fertilizer, Growmore, Champion liquid fertilizer and Bayfolan. Parameters were observed plant height, total of leaves, wide of leaf, and diameter of stem which were done once in 7 days. Parameter observed in the end of observation consisted of plant dry weight, root dry weight and chlorophyl contain.\ud The research showed that interaction between media composition and liquid fertilizer has real influence to diameter of stem. The biggest diameter of stem was combination of soil : sand : leaf fertilizer + Champion. Media composition has real influence to the development of Jatropha curcas L. seed. Media with composition soil : sand : fertilizer gave the highest result for all parameter. Leaf fertilizer kind gave real influence to the plant height, total of leaf, leaf wide and leaf chlorophyl kind and real influence to the diameter of stem, root dry weight, plant dry weight tothe seedling of seed Jatropha curcas. Champion liquid fertilizer (with substances 21% N, 21% P, 21% K, B, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo) gave the best result for all parameters

“PERAN ASSESSMENT DALAM MERANCANG PROGRAM PENGABDIAN PADA MASYARAKAT” (HASIL ASSESSMENT DI ATAMBUA NTT)

Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat pada dasarnya merupakan satu kesatuan dalam proses pendidikan di Perguruan Tinggi. Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat merupakan sarana untuk mengimplementasikan berbagai ilmu pengetahuan yang dikembangkan di perguruan tinggi sehingga mampu memberikan manfaat bagi kehidupan masyaraat. Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat menjadi masyarakat yang mandiri. Banyak ahli yang mengatakan bahwa ilmu akan memilki makna jika mampu memberikan manfaat nyata bagi kehidupan manusia. Agar proses penerapan ilmu itu mampu memberikan manfaat bagi kebutuhan hidup manusia (masyaakat) maka diperlukan informasi atau data tentang berbagai kebutuhan masyarakat. Disinilah pentingnya “assessment”dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasikan berbagai kebutuhan masyarakat tersebut. Assessment dilakukan terutama dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan cara pengamatan langsung (kunjungan ke lokasi), wawancara mendalam dengan narasumber terutama tokoh setempat dan dilanjutkan dengan diskusi serta wawancara dengan “contact persons”. Dengan demikian program pengabdian yang dirancang diharapkan betul-betul sesuai dengan apa yang menjadi permasalahan (kebutuhan) masyarakat. Kali ini kami melakukan assessment di Atambua NTT dengan fokus pada bidang pendidikan, kesehatan, sosial ekonomi dan lingkungan hidup. Hasil assessment ini kami tindaklanjuti dengan merancang program “peningkatan profesionalisme” guru dan “kewirausahaan” berbasis keluarga dengan pembuatan tempe. Kata kunci : Assessment, pemberdayaan, Kewirausahaan berbasis keluarga

Integration of Botanical Pesticide and Entomopathogenic Fungi to Control the Brown Stink Bug Riptortus Linearis F. (Hemiptera: Alydidae) in Soybean

Integration of botanical pesticide and entomopathogenic fungi to control the brown stink bug Riptortus linearis F. (Hemiptera: Alydidae) in soybean. The efficacy of botanical pesticides i.e. Annona squamosa seed powder (ASP) or Jatropha curcas seed powder (JSP) integrated with entomopathogenic fungi, Lecanicillium lecanii to control brown stink bug, Riptortus linearis F. was studied at Muneng Research Station, the Indonesian Legume and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI) in June up to September 2011. The purpose of the research was to determine the efficacy of integration the natural pesticides i.e, A. squamosa seed powder (ASP) and Jatropha curcas seed powder (JSP) and entomopathogenic fungi L. lecanii to control brown stink bug. The treatments were application of (1) ASP 50 g/l, (2) JSP 50 g/l, (3) ASP 50 g/l + L. lecanii 107/ml, (4) JSP 50 g/l + L. lecanii 107/ml, (5) L. lecanii 107/ml, (6) deltametrin and (7) control (untreated). Application of ASP and JSP combined with L. lecanii decreased the hatched eggs by 84% and 82%, respectively. However, reduction of hactched egg from a single application of ASP and JSP were 56-61% . ASP and JSP combined with L. lecanii reduced both nymphs and adult stink bug population built up and damage (empty pod). Application of ASP and JSP in combination with L. lecanii did not affects the survival of generalist predators such as Paederus sp., Oxyopes sp. and Coccinella sp. as opposed to chemical insecticide that did. The integration of ASP or JSP with entomopthogenic fungi L. lecanii was able to increase the efficacy of brown stink bug control

Peluang Mendapatkan Sumber Ketahanan untuk Hama Penting pada Tanaman Kedelai

Di daerah tropis seperti di Indonesia, tanaman kedelai sangat rentan terhadap berbagai jenis hama. Ragam serangga hama yang menyerang tanaman kedelai sangat banyak dipandang dari spesies maupun familinya. Serangan berat dapat menyebabkan kehilangan hasil 80% bahkan sampai ”puso”. Serangan dapat terjadi sejak tanaman tumbuh sampai menjelang panen, baik secara sendiri maupun secara bersamaan. Salah satu komponen pengendalian hama kedelai adalah penggunaan varietas tahan. Komponen penting dalam rangka membentuk varietas tahan hama adalah tenaga peneliti yang profesional, pengetahuan biologi serangga, tingkat populasi hama, sumber ketahanan (sumber gen tahan), dan metode atau teknik skrining yang tepat. Selain itu perlu penelitian yang lebih mendalam mengenai tingkat ketahanan yang ditemukan pada inang, status hama sasaran (key, occasional, incidental atau potential pest), adanya biotipe dan faktor penentu ketahanan. Berdasarkan beberapa evaluasi yang telah dilakukan di Balitkabi Malang sebelumnya, telah ditemukan sumber-sumber ketahanan terhadap hama pengisap polong, hama ulat grayak dan hama penggerek polong. Galur-galur tersebut adalah IAC-100 dan IAC-80-596-2 yang diketahui mempunyai ketahanan terhadap hama pengisap polong, hama penggerek polong, dan hama ulat grayak. Pada tahun 2003 telah dilepas kedelai varietas Ijen, yaitu galur B4F3WH-177-382-109 yang diperoleh dari persilangan antara varietas Wilis dengan Himeshirazu. Pada tahun 2004 telah ditemukan bahwa galur W/80-2-4-20 (hasil persilangan antara Wilis dengan IAC-80-596-2) mempunyai sifat ketahanan terhadap hama ulat grayak

Identifikasi Sumber Ketahanan Aksesi Plasma Nutfah Kedelai Untuk Ulat Grayak Spodoptera Litura F.

The importantaspect of development of resistant plant to insect pest is sourceof resistance. Study the resistance of 14 advance soybeanbreeding lines to common cutworm Spodoptera litura F. wasconducted at the Laboratory of Crop Protection, IndonesianLegumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute (ILETRI)Malang in February-September, 2006. Leaf damage and larvaldevelopment on resistant genotypes was recorded to measurethe level of resistance. It was found that the susceptibility ofsoybeans to the common cutworm significantly varied amongthe breeding lines. The leaf damage of IAC-100, IAC 80-596-2, and W/80-2-4-20 from larval feeding were 17.67, 18.52, and23.70% respectively lower than Wilis variety with 35.57% ofleaf damage. These breeding lines consistently possess samelevel of resistance to S. litura. In addition, the resistantbreeding lines affect on biological aspects i.e. prolongedduration of larval stage, reduced larval and pupae gain weight,and cause significant larval mortality compared with Wilisvariety. The study suggested that IAC-100, IAC 80-596-2, andW/80-2-4-20 could be used as a source of resistance for S.litura in breeding program

The Influence of ENSO/IOD on SST Signal in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi Waters: 27-year-records of Sr/Ca From Porites Corals

DOI:10.17014/ijog.2.1.43-51Indonesia is an interesting and important location for a climate study, because it is located in the centre of a warm pool and adjacent to Pacific and Indian Oceans. Long records of climate data are required from this region to more understand the climate variability and the response of global warming. Geochemical proxies derived from Porites corals are believed to be an excellent climate recorder. Sr/Ca content in Porites corals from Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi shows that seasonal variability of SST is resolved by coral Sr/Ca from this region. The monsoon strongly influences reconstructed SST from coral Sr/Ca. Coral SST shows strong power spectrum at the 2.75 year period. Annual to interannual coral SST signal is stronger than the decadal to interdecadal signal. Both ENSO and IOD influence coral SST at two-month and three-month lags respectively
