Abstract

Beef cattle business, especially in Central Sulawesi Province, is people's livestock business that needs to be developed. To support the efforts of the development of livestock business, it is necessary to have a data base on the existence of beef cattle and the potential of its development area, so can be used as a basis in establishing the model of beef cattle business development. This study aims to analyze the Comparative Advantage of Cattle Business and Its Contribution to Livestock Development in Donggala Regency by using time series data for 10 years, starting from 2010 to 2019. The analytical model used in this study is a combination of Location Quotient (LQ) and Growth and Share analysis. The Location Quotient (LQ) technique is used as a guide to find out how much cattle have influenced on regional economic growth, by comparing the production value in the area namely Donggala Regency. The acquisition of the LQ value of cattle in Donggala Regency is 1.03 > 1 which means that the beef cattle business is a basic sector, it can be said that cattle have a comparative advantage because they are able to provide regional markets and markets outside the region from Donggala Regency. Based on the Growth and Share analysis, beef cattle commodities have positive growth where x = 8, with a contribution (positive share) X = 9.8 > 2, and it is stated that the beef cattle business is superior and contributes greatly to the development of livestock in Donggala Regency.

Abstract

Determination of cropping patterns in rainfed paddy fields is very necessary so that crop failure can be avoided and to maximize profits for farmers. The study aimed to obtain cropping patterns in rainfed lowland areas that can produce high yields and increase farmer incomes. The research was carried out in Tonusu Village, Pamona Puselemba District, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The research was conducted from January 2018 to December 2018, the research consisted of cropping patterns and variety rotation during two growing seasons, namely the rainy season (MH) and the dry season (MK). Planting pattern of paddy farmers - bero (IP.100) and rice cropping pattern - paddy (IP.200. Introduction pattern). The results showed that: Farming analysis of IP 100 and IP 200 Tonusu Village, Pamona Puselemba District, Poso Regency scale per hectare At MT. I and MT. II can provide a profit of Rp. 15,130,000, - with an R/C: Ratio of 3.01 to farmers (IP 200) per MT. The value of farming on the farmer's pattern (IP 100) provides a profit of IDR 10,170,000 with an R/C: Ratio of 1.77.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the inbound and outbound flow processes at the frozen food warehouse of UD. Al Barkah in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research was conducted in January 2025 with data collection techniques including direct observation, in-depth interviews with 12 key informants, and document analysis. The results show several constraints in UD. Al Barkah's warehouse management includes a time-consuming goods receiving process due to the continued use of physical checking and manual documentation, inadequate implementation of information technology in managing goods movement, and an unintegrated stock management system. This research recommends several improvements, including standardization of operational procedures, implementation of warehouse management information systems, optimization of warehouse layout, enhancement of quality monitoring systems, and development of human resource competencies. Implementing these recommendations is expected to improve operational efficiency, reduce the risk of errors in goods management, and enhance the quality of UD. Al Barkah's frozen food distribution services.

Abstract

Climate change is a major challenge that affects ecosystem resilience and human life, including in Indonesia, especially in North Morowali Regency which has extensive tropical forests. This study aims to assess the contribution of ecosystem services in climate regulation in the region and analyze how climate change interacts with ecosystem performance. The methodology used involves assessing ecosystem services for climate regulation and changes in forest land cover. The study's results indicated that forest dominance significantly aided climate regulation, with conservation forest areas contributing 21.51%, protected forests 20.68%, and production forests 19.52%, particularly in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. In contrast, non-forest areas showed a lower contribution. Regional resilience to climate change, it is recommended that the management of conservation and protected forests be strengthened, by considering the potential of ecosystem services they have in mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Abstract

Zillicum tea is an innovations herbal tea product formulated from combination of three plants: ginger, lemongrass, and star anise. These three plants were selected for their functional value, particularly their antioxidant compounds. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of antioxidant activity and hedonic acceptability properties of the three combinations of Zillicum tea formulation, and to identify the best of formulation based on these parameters. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments(the combination of ginger, star anise, and lemongrass), specifically F1, F2, F3, F4 with five replications. Antioxidant activity and organoleptic properties are the primary parameters, while moisture content and total plate count test are supporting parameters. The result F4 formulations exhibited antioxidant activity of 54.41% inhibition (p < 0.05), which was significantly higher than that of F1 (33.20%), F2 (39.86%), and F3 (43.00%). Furthermore, the organoleptic taste score of F4 (5.28 ± 1.27) was also significantly greater comparased to the other formulations.
