AN ASSESSMENT AGRARIAN CONFLICT DYNAMICS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION PRACTICES IN CENTRAL BORNEO
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to introduce the factors of agrarian conflict and resolution practices in Central Borneo Province. Central Borneo is the highest of agrarian conflict sectors with 87% oil palm plantation owned by the company, and smallholder’s only 13% of oil palm plantation belonging to independent smallholders. Conflict over the land and natural resources issues are often found among various factors and involved diverse parties. It could include members of households, families, ethnic groups, governments, and the agencies or other actors such as investors or corporations. Agrarian conflicts in general caused by two things. Firstly, the inequality of land tenure. Secondly, the countries and corporations that have control over the land that is dominant rather than the control of society in rural areas who lives in under poverty line. Therefore, the hypothesis is discussed by requires balancing between access to use forest and sustainability ways. Imbalance of planting oil palm industry has resulted in the degradation of forest and environment. Furthermore, this study will use the term of “best practice” in analyzing dispute and conflict resolution of oil palm plantation in a sustainable way. In one hand, oil palm plantation to increase the productivity, on the other hand decreasing dispute on the local community and company in Central Borneo. The analysis will significantly contribute to the development of conflict resolution practices on the governmental studies, particularly on dealing conflict natural resource of oil palm plantation. The methodology of this research uses qualitative method with the explanatory approach. Data collection technique used in term of library research by collecting data from the books, academic journal, article and other sources that relevant with this research.
A Systematic Review of Relationship between Green Tea Consumption and Improvement of Lipid Profile as Action Plan for Preventing Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Development
Get PDFTea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most popular beverages in Asia. Tea divided into three categories based on degree of fermentations, one of them is green tea. Many researchers have reported antioxidant activity of green tea to prevent chronic diseases. Daily consumption of green tea can reduce the development of atherosclerotic complication related to stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). There are evidences from clinical studies that prove green tea can play protective role in the development of CVD. Various components of green tea, especially polyphenol, have antioxidant and antidyslipidemic activities. The aim of this study was to review the relationship between green tea consumption and CVD development. Published randomized controlled trial (RCT) and meta-analysis (2007-2017) were identified based on searches of on-line databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Science Direct). The search terms used included green tea and cardiovascular. From electronic searches database we found 3.642 articles, 6 research articles met inclusion criteria have been conducted and summarized. There were significant reduction of total cholesterol (TC) (p<.05) found in 3 articles, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) found in 4 articles, triglyceride (TG) found in 3 articles, and significant increment of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) found in 2 articles. The articles also showed reduction of CVD risk including blood glucose concentration, blood pressure, inflammatory biomarker and anthropometrical measurements. Green tea consumption might be associated inversely with the development of CVD. The consumption of green tea extract indicates improvement of lipid profile and reduction of CVD risk. The utilization of dietary supplement, such as green tea and its polyphenol component, have promising potential to prevent the development of CVD complications.
