Effect of Banana Peel and Tomato Compost on the Growth of Oil Palm Seeds (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Prenursery Stage
Get PDFContinuous use of inorganic fertilizers that do not follow Good Agricultural Practices causes soil damage. Organic fertilizers are complementary fertilizers that can maintain soil moisture and fertility, increase the soil water-holding capacity, and increase the amount of water available to plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of compost prepared from banana peel and rotten tomato (10:3) and different watering intervals on the growth of oil palm seedlings at the pre-nursery stage. The experiment was conducted from February 2022 to August 2022 in Kedokan Agung Village, Kedokan Bunder District, and Indramayu Regency. The experiment used a Randomized Block Design consisting of nine treatments and three replicates, with each treatment consisting of two plants. The combination of treatments used compost with intervals of watering the oil palm seedlings. The results showed that the application of 1 kg/plant compost with daily watering resulted in the best growth and significantly affected plant height, trunk circumference, number of leaves, and leaf area. This treatment produced a growth response that was as good as that of plants given inorganic fertilizers.

Circular Economic Analysis of Black Soldier Fly Maggot Cultivation as Local Chicken Feed
Get PDFWaste management is still a significant challenge in Indonesia; organic waste is the most abundant type of waste on a national scale. A potential solution to this problem is to utilize black soldier fly (BSF) larvae as a bioconversion agent for organic waste. The purpose of this study is to determine how much organic waste is absorbed by BSF maggots, to determine the financial feasibility of BSF maggots as local chicken feed, and to analyze the efficiency value of BSF maggot cultivation in a circular economic system. The study utilized four distinct growing media: P0 = 100% kitchen organic waste (KOW); P1 = 100% cow dung; P2 = 50% KOW, 50% cow dung; and P3 = 50% KOW, 50% dairy waste. The analysis used in this study is descriptive-quantitative, and economic analysis is carried out by comparing the processes of drying, grinding, and mixing local chicken feed. The total amount of decomposable organic waste is 237 kg. Media grows P3, which is the most profitable for BSF maggot cultivation. Maggot meal production is worth developing based on the payback period and R/C. P1 can help the composting process, and production costs are efficient. The processing of maggot flour into local chicken feed is a lucrative venture, as evidenced by the potential profits it generates. This research underscores the significance of implementing a circular economy with BSF maggots in decomposing organic waste and its utilization as an ingredient in chicken feed.

Predictive Modeling of Wildlife Trade Using the k-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm
Get PDFPerdagangan satwa liar dengan pengawasan yang tidak optimal dapat merupakan salah satu ancaman yang mampu memberikan dampak signifikan bagi keberlangsungan keanekaragaman hayati. Beberapa spesies hewan seperti mamalia dan reptil saat ini terancam punah dengan adanya perdagangan satwa liar yang tidak terpantau dengan baik. Praktik perdagangan satwa liar kerap ditemukan di berbagai media, termasuk situs internet, karena kemudahan akses yang ditawarkan kepada masyarakat luas. Namun jika data tersebut diolah secara manual maka dibutuhkan waktu, tenaga, dan upaya yang cukup besar. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan sebuah pendekatan berbasis kecerdasan buatan untuk mengidentifikasi wilayah dengan aktivitas perdangan satwa liar yang tinggi dan berpotensi melampai batas perdagangan satwa liar yang diizinkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun sebuah model yang dapat melakukan prediksi area yang rawan perdagangan satwa liar. Algoritma yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah algoritma clustering K-Means untuk mengelompokkan wilayah berdasarkan tingkat kerawanan aktivitas perdagangan satwa liar, serta algoritma k-Nearest Neighbor untuk melakukan prediksi tingkat kerawanan wilayah perdagangan satwa liar. Selain itu, metode Market Basket Analysis digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi pola asosiasi dalam perdagangan satwa liar antar negara. Data yang digunakan merupakan data perdagangan satwa liar dari berbagai negara pada tahun 2018 hingga 2020. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan clustering, dalam penelitian ini diklasifikasikan tiga wilayah dengan potensi kerawanan perdagangan satwa liar, yaitu wilayah dengan resiko rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model prediksi yang dibangun mampu memprediksi wilayah rawan perdagangan satwa liar dengan tingkat akurasi model training sebesar 99% dengan data impor dan 100% dengan data ekspor. Setelah dievaluasi dengan 3-cross fold validation, akurasi model yang diperoleh adalah sebesar 97% untuk data impor dan 98% untuk data ekspor. Hasil akurasi model testing dalam penelitian ini adalah sebesar 100% dengan data impor maupun ekspor. Melalui pendekatan metode market basket analysis, penelitian ini menyimpulkan dengan data yang dipertimbangkan belum ditemukan pola asosiasi yang kuat dalam aktivitas perdagangan satwa liar antara satu negara spesifik dengan negara lainnya.Wildlife trade conducted under suboptimal supervision can pose a significant threat to the long-term sustainability of biodiversity. Several animal species, including mammals and reptiles, are now facing extinction due to the lack of proper monitoring of wildlife trade. Wildlife trade practices are frequently found across various media platforms, including websites, due to the ease of access they offer to the public. However, if the data is processed manually, it requires considerable time, effort, and resources. To address this issue, an artificial intelligence-based approach is needed to help process wildlife trade data so that areas vulnerable to wildlife trafficking can be predicted quickly and accurately. Therefore, an artificial intelligence-based approach is needed to identify regions with high wildlife trade activity that are at risk of exceeding the permitted trade limits. This study aims to develop a model capable of predicting regions at risk of wildlife trade. The algorithms used in this study are the K-Means clustering algorithm to classify regions based on the risk level of wildlife trade areas, and the k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm to predict the risk level of wildlife trade areas. In addition, the Market Basket Analysis method is used to identify association patterns in wildlife trade between countries. The data used consists of wildlife trade data from various countries from 2018 to 2020. Using the clustering approach, this study classifies three levels of risk for wildlife trafficking: low, medium, and high. The results of the study show that the predictive model developed is capable of identifying areas vulnerable to wildlife trade, achieving a training accuracy of 99% with import data and 100% with export data. After being evaluated using 3-fold cross-validation, the model achieved an accuracy of 97% for import data and 98% for export data. The testing accuracy obtained in this study was 100% for both import and export data. Through the market basket analysis approach, this study concludes that, based on the data considered, no strong association patterns have been found in wildlife trade activities between specific countries

Struktur Pasar dan Daya Saing Ekspor Nanas Olahan Indonesia ke Pasar Jepang
Get PDFJepang merupakan negara tujuan ekspor nanas olahan dengan potensi besar. Hal ini terlihat dari tingginya permintaan terhadap komoditas tropis tersebut di pasar Jepang. Meskipun perjanjian Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) seharusnya membuka peluang lebih besar bagi ekspor nanas olahan, Indonesia belum memanfaatkannya secara optimal. Hal ini tercermin dari tren ekspor nanas olahan Indonesia yang fluktuatif dan cenderung mengalami penurunan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Selain itu, dominasi negara lain seperti Filipina dan Thailand menyebabkan Indonesia hanya berperan sebagai pengikut pasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasikan struktur pasar dan menganalisis daya saing ekspor nanas olahan Indonesia di pasar Jepang dibandingkan dengan Filipina, Thailand, dan Malaysia. Analisis struktur pasar dilakukan dengan menggunakan Concentration Ratio (CR4) dan Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Sementara itu, daya saing dianalisis dengan Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), dan Indeks Spesialisasi Perdagangan (ISP). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa struktur pasar nanas olahan di Jepang bersifat oligopoli dengan konsentrasi yang tinggi. Nanas olahan Indonesia memiliki keunggulan komparatif di pasar Jepang dengan nilai rata-rata RCA sebesar 6,43. Di sisi lain, terdapat keunggulan kompetitif yang dimiliki nanas olahan Indonesia, tetapi kurang dinamis ditunjukkan dalam kategori Falling Star. Selain itu, hasil analisis ISP menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia merupakan negara pengekspor nanas olahan di pasar internasional.Japan is an export destination for processed pineapple with great potential. This can be seen from the high demand for this tropical commodity in the Japanese market. Although the Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) should open up greater opportunities for processed pineapple exports, Indonesia has not optimally utilized it. This is reflected in the fluctuating trend of Indonesia\u27s processed pineapple exports, which have tended to decline in recent years. In addition, the dominance of other countries such as the Philippines and Thailand has caused Indonesia to only act as a market follower. This study aims to identify the market structure and analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian processed pineapple exports in the Japanese market compared to the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. Market structure analysis was conducted using Concentration Ratio (CR4) and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Meanwhile, competitiveness was analyzed by Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), and Index of Trade Specialization (ISP). The results showed that the market structure of processed pineapple in Japan is oligopolistic with high concentration. Indonesian processed pineapple has a comparative advantage in the Japanese market with an average RCA value of 6.43. On the other hand, there is a competitive advantage possessed by Indonesian processed pineapple, but less dynamic shown in the Falling Star category. In addition, the results of the ISP analysis show that Indonesia is a processed pineapple exporting country in the international market

Edukasi Kampung Wakaf kepada Masyarakat Desa Mekarjaya, Kabupaten Sukabumi
Get PDFThe development of waqf practices implemented so far has become very diverse. However, many people still think that the practice of waqf is limited to the management of 3M (tombs, mosques, and madrasas). Mekarjaya Village has great waqf potential, but its utilization has not been optimally realized because of the limited knowledge of its community. The Kampung Wakaf educational program was organized with the participation of 60 participants, who were the guardians of students from Madrasah At-Tarbiyah, one of the village\u27s waqf assets, aimed at broadening the community\u27s understanding and awareness of the concept and innovative utilization of waqf. The educational activity was conducted in one day, consisting of a material presentation session by the speakers and a discussion and Q&A session before the event was concluded. The result obtained was an increase in the community\u27s knowledge regarding the basic concepts of waqf and its utilization, which was assessed through pre-tests and post-tests conducted at the beginning and end of the activity. Education is expected to support the development of village waqf utilization in a more comprehensive and innovative manner.The development of waqf practices implemented so far has become very diverse.
