PENERAPAN STRATEGI METACOGNITION PADA MEMBACA KOMPREHENSIF TEKS DESKRIPTIF DI SMA YAPIM BIRU-BIRU
No full textReading is an important aspect in learning English. From reading people are able to get knowledge, new knowledge, solve problems, have broad insight, etc. However, there are very few people who like reading, including in Indonesia. Actually, to increase the love of reading, you can do it by reading the things you like first and then liking all the writings to be read. Metacognition is a strategy to increase reading interest and understand reading more quickly and accurately. Applying metacognition strategy has an effect on student reading which has been studied in G, Sulastri's previous research. So the author does Community Service at SMA Yapim Biru-biru at XI year with 36 students. Initially, the writer gave 25 comprehensive reading questions that they had to answer as a pre-test and the results were moderate for 36 students. The result value is the mean value of the Pre-test was 76.69 and the average score of the Post-test was 81.78. The results of statistical calculations show that the standard deviation in the Pre-test is 3.861 and at the Post-test is 5, 622 and the results of the statistical test (t-test) with a p value of 0.001 indicate that there is a significant increase in knowledge in the application of Metacognition strategies in reading comprehension of descriptive text at SMA YAPIM Biru-biru In XI year
Analysis of Potato Seed Tuber Value Chain: Implication for Private Sector Development: The Case of Small Scale Farmers in Jeldu District of West Shewa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia
No full textThe study presents value chain analysis of potato seed tuber based on the data generated from 120 randomly selected farm households, 15 traders and 20 consumers. The analysis was made using descriptive statistics and value chain framework approaches. The value chain analysis revealed that the major actors in the district are input suppliers, producers, cooperatives, collectors and wholesalers. Accordingly, the value chain functions performed by major actors in the study area during the survey period are input supply, production, marketing and consumption. The study shows that the value chain is governed by wholesalers who have high percent share of profit from the produce and capital advantage over the other major chain actors. Therefore, the study confirmed that farmers are forced to capture a lower share of profit margin compared with collectors and wholesalers. Potato seed tuber produced in the study area passes through intermediaries, i.e. cooperatives, collectors/assemblers and wholesalers with little value being added before reaching the end-users. The intermediate buyers (collectors and wholesalers) obtain the potato seed tuber from the small scale farmers at a lower price and sell to the consumers at a higher price and they handle less volume of the product but they get more share of the profit from potato seed tuber. The percentage of the share of profit from potato seed tuber for a quintal of potato seed tuber was 30.0, 3.96, 30.35and 35.62 for small scale farmers primary producers’ cooperatives, collectors and wholesalers respectively. From the finding of the study policies intended to increase small scale farmers and their cooperatives’ bargaining power to increase their profit share from their produce are recommended. Keywords: value chain, value chain actors and value chain governance
Effect of carbon dioxide and cytokine foliar spray On yield and grain quality of bread Wheat (triticum aestivum l.)
No full textWheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the important cereal grain crops cultivated
worldwide. Wheat is grown on more land area than any other crop in the world. World
trade for wheat is greater than for any other cereal. Ethiopia is the second largest wheat
producer in sub-Saharan Africa, after South Africa and also among the most important
crops in Ethiopia, ranking fourth in total cereals production. The demand for wheat is
highly increased with the increasing population number and urban expansion. However
currently the production of wheat and productivity become difficult due to climate change.
Therefore the objective of these studies were to increase the productivity and the production
of wheat under variable climate change by applying CO2 and Cytokine foliar spray at
different growth stages on grain yield and grain quality of bread wheat (Digalu), studies
were conducted both under field and control environment at Mana distinct and Jimma
University College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine in (2014 and 2015) respectively.
Carbon dioxide and cytokine were applied at rate of 680mmole and 100mmole respectively
at different stage (tillering stage, heading stage and seed filling stage) and Randomized
complete block design (RCBD) with three replications were used. The results showed that in
both case (in control environment and open field),the number of tiller, days to 50%
heading, days to 90% physiological maturity, plant height, spike length, number of seed per
plant, biomass, grain yield and Harvest Index (HI) were highly significantly (p<0.01)
affected by the effects of Carbon dioxide, whereas, number of tiller, grain nitrogen content,
straw nitrogen content, nitrogen uptake efficiency, nitrogen utilization efficiency, nitrogen
use efficiency, grain protein content and grain thousand weight were highly significantly
(p<0.01) affected by cytokine. Furthermore, the combination of carbon dioxide and
cytokine at different stages (Tillering, flowering & seed filling) highly significantly affected,
days to heading, days to maturity height of plant, thousand kernels weight, number of
effective tillers, biomass yield, number of kernels per spike, harvest index, protein content,
nitrogen uptake efficiency, nitrogen utilization efficiency, nitrogen use efficiency and grain
yield. The application of both carbon dioxide and cytokine at tillering stages on wheat in
green house and under field conditions resulted in highest tiller number (7) and (5.5)
respectively, the maximum biomass yield (15.68 ton ha-1
& 14.8o ton ha-1
) were both in
green house and under field condition due to the foliar application of both carbon dioxide
& cytokine at flowering stages, protein content (16.75% & 16.76%) and grain yields were
(13.44 ton ha–1
& 11.88 ton ha-1
) at flowering stages respectively. From this study, the use
of both carbon dioxide and cytokine at wheat flowering stage (Digalu) was identified for
good crop stand, high grain yield and seed quality. Therefore to ensure further research
will be important for fundamental understanding of the effect of carbon dioxide and
cytokine foliar spray on yield and grain quality on bread wheat in different location
Actors’ Performance and Value Chain Analysis of Cattle Fattening in Some Selected Districts of Western Oromia, Ethiopia
No full textDespite the fact that Ethiopia in general and the study area is characterized by a high livestock population, its productivity, marketing system, value chain actors’ coordination are characterized as low, less developed and weak respectively. Therefore the objectives of the study were to identify core functions and main actors in the fattened cattle value chain, identify marketing channels of fattened cattle in the study areas, estimate the market cost and margin in the fattened cattle trade and identify major constraints and opportunities in its value chain in the western Oromia. Different data, data collection methods and data analysis procedures were undertaken to materialize the objectives of the study. The result of the study indicates that there are six major market channels in the study area and there were loos and/or lack of vertical and horizontal cooperation and linkage among value chain actors. Demand fluctuations, feed shortage, lack of medicines, weak extension service and lack of improved feeds were among others constraints. As the numbers of value chain actor increases and value addition on fattened cattle increases the share of the small scale farm household from final consumers’ price decreases. Therefore, enabling constraints at every stage of the value chain must be prioritized and should be solved according to the need of society- if the profit shares of small scale farm households are to be increased. Again to increase the profit share of the small scale farm households the value adding activities should have to be accomplished by primary producer farm household themselves. Keywords: Value chain analysis, value addition, cattle fattening, fattened cattle, actor
Primary Producers’ Cooperative as Marketing Strategy to Increase Income of Small Scale Farmers: A Case Study on Potato Seed Tuber Jeldu District of West Shewa Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia
No full textThe study presents the role of primary producers’ cooperative as marketing strategy to increases small scale farmers income from their produce. The primary data from Jeldu district of west Shewa zone of Oromia regional state was generated from 120 randomly selected small scale farm households. These randomly selected farm households were drown from two groups: seventy one of them were selected from cooperative members group and the rest forty nine of them were selected from non cooperative members of potato seed producers. The analysis was made using descriptive statistics and econometric model using STATA software version 10. Descriptive analysis made for income; which was generated from potato seed tuber marketing, shows differences among cooperative participants and non participants small scale farm households in potato seed tuber marketing. Heckman two stage models was employed to identify factors affecting participation in cooperative of small scale farm households and the extent of effects of these factors on gross income from potato seed tuber of participant. Accordingly, the result of first stage Heckman two model shows that, family size, proximity to market centre, farming experience, land allocated for potato seed tuber and extension service were key determinants of choice of participation in primary producers’ cooperative. In the second stage of the two stage model, proximity to market, land allocated for potato seed tuber, family size and extension service were found to influence gross income of primary producers’ cooperative participants of small scale farm households. Therefore, policies intended to increase farmers’ access to market, developing and improving market infrastructures, strengthening exiting cooperatives, establishing and encouraging participation in primary producers’ cooperative and improving extension service system could be recommended to more increases income from their produce. Keywords: potato seed tuber, potato and Heckman treatment model

Addis Ababa light rail transit system energy flow analysis
No full textWith the continued focus on growing energy prices and environmental concerns, lowering energy consumption and maintaining the environmental sustainability of railway systems is becoming a crucial problem to which greater attention is being paid. In recent years, urban rail systems have grown in popularity as a method for reducing traffic congestion and pollution in metropolitan areas. Despite the fact that the railway system is likely the most energyefficient mode of land-based transportation, there is still potential for improvement. In this regard, significant amounts of energy can be saved by installing energy storage on an electrified transit system allowing energy from braking to be captured. However, the amount of energy saved is dependent on the amount of energy transferred during braking, which relies on the drive cycle and the vehicle parameters. The overall benefit can be determined by analyzing the energy flow through components in an electrified transit system. In this paper, electrified transit system energy flows are analyzed for Addis Ababa light rail transit system. The methodology used assesses energy flows in the traction system, establishing where energy is dissipated. The analysis is performed for a specified drive cycle. Finally, the analysis showed that 37.9 % of the total energy loss over a drive cycle could be saved in Addis Ababa light rail transit system

Migrasi orang-orang Madura ke dusun sendang biru, 1980-1994
No full textMadurese are one of the tribes in Indonesia that have high mobility. They migrate from their home areas to other areas in search of a more decent livelihood. Of the various Madurese migration destinations in the archipelago, Malang is one of them. Malang is an area with various aspects in it, such as education, culinary, tourism, and fisheries. This paper aims to narrate how the arrival of Madurese immigrants to South Malang, precisely to Sendang Biru in the period 1980 – 1994. The author uses the historical method by conducting in-depth readings of informal archival sources (newspapers), books, articles, and direct tracing through the process of interviews and field observations. In accordance with the Migration Theory, this paper shows that the potential for fishery resources in Sendang Biru can attract immigrants from Madura, especially fishermen and traders. From the process of in-migration of Madurese to Sendang Biru, various impacts arise, in which Sendang Biru Hamlet has a heterogeneous population that lives side by side, because of this, various social, cultural and economic impacts arise. Even though they live side by side with different cultural backgrounds, they show tolerance for one another and do not highlight their respective ethnic identities.Suku Madura merupakan salah satu suku di Indonesia yang mempunyai mobilitas cukup tinggi. Mereka bermigrasi dari daerah asal ke daerah lainnya untuk mencari penghidupan yang lebih layak. Dari berbagai daerah tujuan migrasi orang Madura yang ada di Nusantara ini, Malang merupakan salah satunya. Malang merupakan daerah dengan berbagai aspek di dalamnya, seperti pendidikan, kuliner, pariwisata, hingga perikanan. Tulisan ini bertujuan menarasikan bagaimana kedatangan para imigran Madura ke Malang Selatan, tepatnya ke Sendang Biru pada periode 1980 – 1994. Penulis menggunakan metode sejarah dengan melakukan pembacaan mendalam terhadap sumber-sumber arsip informal (surat kabar), buku, artikel, dan penelusuran langsung melalui proses wawancara dan observasi lapangan. Sesuai dengan Teori Migrasi, dalam tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya potensi sumber daya perikanan di Sendang Biru dapat menarik kedatangan para imigran dari Madura, khususnya para nelayan dan pedagang. Dari proses migrasi masuk orang Madura ke Sendang Biru menimbulkan berbagai dampak, di mana Dusun Sendang Biru memiliki penduduk heterogen yang hidup saling berdampingan, karena hal tersebutlah timbul berbagai dampak sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi. Meski saling hidup berdampingan dengan latar budaya yang berbeda, mereka saling menunjukkan sikap toleransi satu sama lain serta tidak menonjolkan identitas kesukuan masing-masing
