ABSTRACT

Milk industry faced several problems. In the downstream, the problems were lack of feeder cattle, low of productivity, the feed price was high, small-scale industry and un-skilled labour. In the middle-process, the problems were recording system was low, traditional technology, grazing area was limited, lack of working capital and managerial problem. Further, the problem in the upstream were price of feeder cattle was fluctuated and price of milk was low. Because of very complicated problems that mention above, the progress of milk industry is very slow and they only fulfilled 27% of national demand. The goals of this research were 1) To understand the characteristic of dairy cow industry in East Java, 2) to identify and map the main actors involved in the core processes of milk commodity chain in East Java, 3) to observe the principal function of the actors as well as the interaction among the actor. and 4) To analyse the strategy for strengthening dairy cow commodity chain. The research was conducted in Pasuruan and Probolinggo Residence. The number of respondent was 81 persons that consist of input supplier, farmer, trader and processor. The analytical tools were descriptive, actor network analysis, and commodity chain analysis.The results of the research were: 1) During 2006-2013, average dairy cow population in East Java increased 10% per year, 2) The core processes in dairy farming system are input provision, raising, milking, transportation and marketing, 3) the bargaining position  of input supplier and farmer were less than the trader and processor. The recommendations were: 1) it was needed to improve the bargaining position of input supplier and farmer through revitalization of the commodity chain in milk industry, 2) the government should force the farmer institution through improving of the farmer cooperatives.

ABSTRACT

One of the efforts to reduce the negative impact of leachate waste in the environment uses adaptive plants with waste in constructed wetlands (CWs), because the method does not require high operating costs and environmentally friendly.The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of the thickness of sand media and the density of Typha angustifolia L against the COD content of waste leachate pollutants removal efficiency in CWs. This research method uses a split plot design at laboratory scale. A statistical test uses linear additive of variance analysis for a randomized group with two factors and one dependent variable. The results of the study of the average influent COD content at the level of between 495.5 mg/L to 598.56 mg/L after experiencing sequential time (7, 9, 11 and 13) days in CWs decrease to 21.83 mg/L to 68.74 mg/L. There is not a significantly (p = 0.158> 0.05) influence the thickness of sand media to the COD removal. The COD removal efficiency is significantly (p = 0.00 <0.05) influenced by the density of Typha angustifolia L plant.  The highest removal efficiency is selected on density 36 plants/m2, occurring in the thickness of sand media of 55 cm with the removal at the level of between 88.99 % to 95.96 %.

Keywords: constructed wetlands, leachate, COD, sand media, T.angustifolia L.

ABSTRACT

Degraded lands is one of many problems in agriculture development in Indonesia. Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota is a district in West Sumatera Province that still have large areas of degraded lands, and in this study, these degraded lands will be used as sample. One of the causes of the emergence or existence of degraded lands is the practicing of land management that is not environmental-safe. The environmental-unsafe land management includes, uncontrolled traditional farming methods, long dry season or the absence of proper irrigation. The main goal of this study is to find real condition in surveillance area and to map degraded lands in Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, data modelling plan to know the level of its criticality which identify by aerial imagery, and potentials of surrounding areas. By modelling these data, we can develop several strategies that can be used to change the status of the lands from degraded to productive.

Keywords : Degraded land, Aerial Surveillance

ABSTRACT

The research aimed at developing model of controlling intangible assets in secondary irrigation management. The research method consisted of two stages. The first stage was building the model of controlling intangible assets in irrigation management using neuro-fuzzy. The model had three submodels: knowledge management, intangible assets, and performance of irrigation system. The second stage was evaluating the model in Molek irrigation system in Malang, East Java. Data collecting was done by questionnaire and interview on employees of Irrigation Office in Kepanjen, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was done by Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System. The model had been evaluated by correlation coefficient, Mean Absolute Percentage Error and Root Mean Square Error. The research result indicated that the model of controlling intangible assets in irrigation system management could predict intangible assets and performance of irrigation system well. The model linked knowledge management, intangible assets and performance of irrigation system. Knowledge management felt into four main components: (i) learning organization, (ii) principle of organization, (iii) policy and strategy, and (iv) information and communication technology which controlling intangible assets in irrigation system. Intangible assets consisted of moral intelligence, emotional intelligence, creativity attitude, and institutional culture which controlling effectiveness of irrigation.

Keywords: model, intangible assets, controlling, secondary irrigation system
