Abstract

This research interests to analyze factors affecting the organizational culture and job satisfaction and how far it affects the organizational commitment of the administrative staff of Indonesia open university (UT). This research uses a sample of 150 administrative staff in the main office to represent the entire class based on the existing population by using stratified random sampling method. Data obtained were analyzed by using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the help of LISREL 8.30 software. SEM analysis results reveal that the factors influencing the UT’s organizational culture are leaders appreciate ideas, accommodate ideas and suggestions, good ideas are not always responded by the top level for the leaders are not close enough to employees, institutions award when problems solved, leaders receive wise advice, institutions specifically encourage improvements in the workplace, and expects to increase and practice the valid work unit procedures. The factors that influence the job satisfaction in UT are being satisfied with the remuneration paid, promotion opportunities, praise, leaders’ skills, leaders’ assertive acts, the work environment, and coworker relationships. Organizational culture and job satisfaction have directly and significantly positive effect on organizational commitment of the UT’s administration staff. These findings indicate that the more adaptive organizational culture and the higher job satisfaction, the higher organizational commitment for UT’s administrative staff.   Key words: organizational culture, job satisfaction, organizational commitment

Abstract

The objective of the study are to analyze the level of technical efficiency of the production of  red chili,(b) to analyze factors that influence the production of red chili, (c) to analyze the social-economic factors that affect inefficiency technically of red chili, and (d) to analyze the behavior of red chili farmers in facing price risk. The stochastic production frontier is used to estimate the production function. Results showed that most variables, both technical and socio-economic factors, have signs as expected and most significant. The average level of technical efficiency (TE) for both big red chili and curly red chili are 0.83 and 0.86, respectively. Several socio-economic factors that significantly affect technical inefficiency includes total income, ratio income of red chili on the total household income, ratio of red chili farming plots to the total cultivated land, and variable experience of peasant households in red chili. The behavior of big red chili farmers in facing the price risk is risk averse, meanwhile curly the red chili farmers’ is a risk taker. Important policy implication is to increase technical skills and managerial capabilities at less than 0.80 technical efficiency group. Future technological development can be done by good agriculture pratices and standar operating procedure on red chili farming, that is hybrid seed use, balance and complete fertilizer use, manure use and integrated pest management practices.   Key words: technical efficiency, risk, stochastic production frontier, red chilies

Abstract

After the reform era, forest management approaches tend to change from state-based to community-based.  Arising awareness about the importance of involving communities in forest management, it will not succed without support from the community.  Since 2001, Perhutani has implemented a partnership program in the form of CBFM (Joint Forest Management Society), designed to accommodate the dynamic and needs of the community.  This paper aims to study the perception of society, equality of status of the community, and to formulate alternative forestry policy.  This research was quantitative and qualitative research. Sample were taken purposively.  Research location in Perhutani office (BKPH) of Parung Panjang, KPH Bogor.  Public perceptions of CBFM are positive and able to increase revenue, income, absorb labour, and grow productive business. Biophysical condition are better with the following: the fire and illegal logging are reduced, and the rehabilitation of forest is better.  However, it is difficult for the community to get water since Acacia mangium were planted.  The level of community participation in planning and evaluation is low but high in the implementation.  The pattern of partnership is asymmetrical because the decision-making is dominated by Perhutani officers.  In the cooperative agreement, there are many inequalities positions.  CBFM is derivative of developmentalist ideology contrary to the principles of community empowerment.  The partnership is focused more on corporate interests, and is used as reducer of conflict.  Policy scenarios of CBFM are institutional strengthening, acces to forest resources, equality in forest management partnership, and productive business.   Key words: community forestry, partnership, equality, institutional

Abstract

Urban pests like cockroaches, mosquitoes, and flies can transmit human diseases that cause health problems in the society.  Currently, mosquito is main insect that transmit very deadly diseases, such as dengue fever, cikungunya, and malaria. Prevention of those diseases is generally focused on controlling the vectors in various ways, such as fogging, the use home pesticides, sanitation, use of mosquito repellents, electric rackets, and other traditional ways developed by the community (mosquito net, gauze, water).  The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between characteristics of peoples live in Jakarta (based on age, sex, education, and income level) to their behavior in using home pesticides and to know the impact of those pesticides to peoples and pets live in their houses.  Research sites were purposively directed to the areas that were appropriate with the substances and purposes of this study.  Interviewed was conducted to the respondents (housewives) and inspection of their houses were also conducted to classify their houses as clean, moderately clean, and dirty or slum.  Based on a survey to 155 respondents, it was revealed that respondent characteristics as well as their house conditions influenced the behavior of those respondents in choosing home pesticides.  Majority of  housewives (28.21%) use liquid pesticides which were contains the active ingredient of cypermethrin 0.4 g/l, imiprotrin 0.32 g/l, and transflutrin 0.2 g/l.  In addition, 47.26% of them ignored the instruction written on the label in using those pesticides.  Awareness of those respondents was still low in terms of dumping the package of pesticides; 96.64% of respondents dumped pesticides to the dumpster near their houses.  Commercial advertencies from electronic media, especially TV, influence half of the respondents (52.74%) in choosing home pesticides used.  In general, it can be summarized that the awareness of respondents in using home pesticides were still low.  Most housewives did not know the danger of those chemicals and how to use it properly.  Only 38.46% of them used non-chemical methods, such as insect net.   Key words: home pesticides, active ingredient, urban pest, housewife, the environment

Abstract

Environmental conflicts in protection forest mostly caused by issues of scarcity, negative externalities, structural unbalance, and different viewpoint of people on value of forests. In many cases, forest governance creates overlapping policies regarding with these issues that may generate conflict escalation; this occurs in Register 45B of Protection Forest Zone in Lampung Province.  This research aimed to study (1) factors those affecting (escalation of) conflict, (2) conflict management styles manifested by parties/disputants, (3) polarization of parties refer to the conflict roots they face, and (4) settlement options that parties willing to take referring to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) options.  Research implementation and analysis carried out by using pathway analysis and pairwise comparison analysis-scheffe test.  The research found that conflict escalation was mainly caused by decision to convert forest land use. Conflict management styles are collaborative and compromise.  Polarizations of parties refer to similarities on interests.  All parties willing to take negotiation and/or facilitation as ADR options to settle disputes.   Key words: conflict, environment, forest, resolution

Abstract

The oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is believed to be the initiating factor for the development and progression of atherosclerosis.  Curcuminoid, the metabolite of Zingiberaceae family such as temu mangga (Curcuma mangga), has been shown to reduce the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation. In this study, we examined the effect of curcuminoid extracted from temu mangga on copper ion-induced lipid peroxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in mice’s macrophages and Macaca nemestrina’s monocytes.  Analyses were done by measuring the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) as malonaldehyde (MDA).  LDL were harvested and isolated from 5 adult female Macaca fascicularis  fed aterogenic diet for 3 months.  LDL oxidation by mice macrophage incubated for 4 hours were inhibited by curcuminoid at concentration of 8 ppm.  There was decreased 17% (P<0.01) in the concentration of MDA compared to control without curcuminoid (31.99B±0. vs 36.77A±0.9 nmol/mg protein LDL, respectively).  Inhibiton of LDL oxidation in M. nemestrina macrophage were highest by curcuminoid at 8 ppm for 4 hours and 6 hours incubation.  There was 14.8% and 23% inhibiton (P<0.01) (23.768 ± 0.095A vs 27.111B±0.972 and 23.37B±0.12 vs 30.87A±2.49 nmol/mg LDL protein, respectively).  These data suggest that curcuminoid of temu mangga were able to inhibit LDL oxidation in the cellular level, therefore offer protection against oxidation of LDL.   Key words: LDL, atherosclerosis, curcuminoid, Curcuma mangga
