Abstract

This study examines the application of SWOT analysis to the MARS free-range chicken business, focusing on strategies to improve competitiveness and sustainability in the poultry industry. By identifying internal strengths, such as the high quality of free-range chickens and a strong consumer reputation, alongside weaknesses like high operational costs and inefficient production, this study formulates actionable strategies for business growth. External factors such as increased market demand for organic chicken and potential government support offer significant opportunities, while price competition and strict regulations pose notable threats. The study applies an SO (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy, recommending the business leverage its strengths to exploit emerging market opportunities, such as expanding online sales and partnerships with halal shops. Additionally, addressing weaknesses by adopting modern cultivation technology and engaging in government-supported programs is suggested to boost production efficiency and market reach. This research fills gaps in existing literature by providing a practical framework for small-scale poultry businesses to adapt and grow in a highly competitive market, especially in regions with rising demand for organic and halal products. The findings offer valuable insights for similar agricultural businesses seeking to optimize their operations and expand their consumer base.

Abstract

This study aims to provide data on the verticulture method planting and the use of cow manure to black soybeans (Glycine max L.). This study used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) containing two factorials and four replications. K1 refers to the unit 1 soybean cultivar, while K2 stands for the pearl 2 cultivar. One of the cultivar factors is this (K). Inside the interval (P), we find three values: P1= 0 kg, P2= 0.18 kg, and P3= 0.32 kg. “Among the variables that underwent changes were plant height, leaf count, leaf area index, chlorophyll content, relative growth rate (LPR), net assimilation rate (LAB), and active root nodules. According to the results, there was no significant difference between using 0.16 kg/bed of organic fertilizer or no fertilizer at all when measuring plant height at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 HST for Cultivar K1 (detam 1)”. The availability of organic fertilizer at 0.32 kg/bed was significantly affected by manure at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 HST at the third dosage. The results of this study show that neither cultivar 1 nor pearl cultivar 2 had any discernible impact on the vegetative development of black soybean plants when manure was applied at dosages of 0 kg, 0.16 kg, and 0.32 kg.

Abstract

Market waste that belongs to organic garbage, can be recycled into compost. The natural compounding process takes quite a while, so it requires bioactivators to speed up the compostage process. In addition to the EM4 bioactivator, bioactivators can be made by ourselves with tomato waste that called local microorganisms (MOL) of tomato waste. The carbon content of coffee amps is high enough that it can be used as a compound mixture material as a source of carbon. The study aims to analyze the influence of the addition of local microorganisms (MOL) of tomato waste and EM4 on the composite quality of the market waste with coffee amps as carbon sources. The composing process was done using a composer for 14 days. The study used nine units of trials with two treatments and one control with three repetitions. The entire parameters on both composts produced with the treatment have been in accordance with SNI 19-7030-2004 standards. In compounds with local microorganisms (MOL) of tomato waste, the average carbon content was 19,23%, nitrogen 1,19%, phosphorus 0,51%, potassium 0,35%, and the C/N ratio 16.26 with temperature 30.67°C and pH 6.93. Compared to the compound with the bioactive EM4, the average content of the carbon element was 18,48%, the nitrogen content was 1,15%, the phosphates 0,50%, the potassiums 0,31%, and the C/N ratio 16.16 with temperature 31°C and pH 6.97. The results show that local microorganisms (MOL) of tomato waste have potential as a substitute for EM4 bioactivators.

Abstract

This paper aimed to identify and discuss the gains on the development of fishery, maritime tourism and community engagement towards the regional planning of Belakang Padang District in Indonesia. Based on both exploratory and explanatory qualitative and quantitative data collected for the study, the study establishes and examines the economic, cultural, and environment opportunities and barriers to region development in the district. The studies show that fisheries are the largest and most important economy sector that influences the planning of regions; at the same time, the challenges are observed in terms of outdated technique and restricted access to markets. Maritime tourism has a lot of prospects and long-term influences for countries but it is restricted by the lack of sufficient infrastructure and capital. The study also highlights a major research agenda concerning the lack of citizenship in planning where most of the local actors are rarely involved in planning processes. Environmental sustainability as an additional challenge was discovered with pollution together with the inadequate disposal of wastes contributing to the harm of the district’s development. Therefore, the study recommends an integrated regional development plan, focusing on the modernization of fisheries, tourism development, participation of community and conservation of the environment as key factors for sustainable development of Belakang Padang. Hence the research is useful in the existing literature on sustainable coastal development and charles district future planning activities.

Abstract

Ginger is a medicinal plant with numerous uses across traditional industries, food sectors, and as an export commodity. Although ginger production in West Kalimantan reached 3,805.89 tons in 2022, this figure remains below the national average of 7,278.10 tons. Ginger farmers face various risks, including beetle pest attacks and rhizome rot diseases, leading to production fluctuations. This study aims to analyze the impact of farmers' behavior in facing production risks on the level of ginger production. The analysis was conducted using a production function regression with dummy variables representing farmers' behaviors, categorized into three groups: risk takers, risk neutral, and risk averters. The results indicate that farmers categorized as risk takers have 142.1% higher ginger production compared to risk averters, while risk-neutral farmers have 73.6% higher production. These findings demonstrate that farmers' behavior in managing production risks significantly influences ginger production levels.

Abstract

This study aims to discover a new formula from natural ingredients that are effective as antihypertensive agents through ethnomedicine research and in silico testing. The study was conducted at the Beringharjo Jamu Market in Yogyakarta by identifying the three most commonly used plants by vendors: Sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata), Akar Pule Pandak (Rauvolfia serpentina), and Seledri (Apium graveolens). Ethnomedicine studies used quantitative parameters such as Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Use Value (UV), Fidelity Level (FL), and Informant Consensus Factor (ICF). Subsequently, in silico tests were conducted with a network pharmacology and molecular docking approach to analyze protein-target interactions and test the potential of active compounds from these three plants. The results showed that Sambiloto had the best affinity through the compound Andrographolide with an affinity value of -561 kcal/mol. This study confirms that the three plants have the potential to contain key active ingredients for hypertension therapy using the Ethnomedicine Driven Reversal Approach System (EDRAS), which has proven to be effective and efficient.

Abstract

This research explores the values of ecological wisdom contained in Toba Batak's oral stories, especially the legend of "Tombak Sulu Sulu." The background of this research is based on the importance of environmental preservation amid the threat of ecological disasters around Lake Toba. The method used is qualitative, with an ethnographic study conducted in the Bakkara Valley. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, field observations, and documentation related to the legend. The results showed that this legend contains five central values of ecological wisdom: respecting nature, living in harmony with nature, wise use of natural resources, using environmental knowledge for place naming (toponymy), and making nature a spiritual tool. These values emphasize the importance of harmonious relationships between humans and the environment that can be integrated into nature conservation and sustainable development efforts. This research offers a new perspective on how traditional narratives can build societal ecological awareness.

Abstract

The current study documented the ability of Lemna minor plants floating in the Shatt Al-Kufa / Euphrates River and grown invitro to affect in pH water, as the results showed wide variation in readings. Highest value recorded in the 1st week with 8 at T2 and T3, while the lowest value was in the 2nd and 3rd week with only 6.9 at T3 and T1 respectively. The T1 treatment of understudy plant was unique from the rest of the treatments, by continuing in decline the water pH values until the end of the experiment. The reasons for the increase or decrease pH values of water are attributed to the Lemna minor content of some minerals and the absence of other minerals.
