The Scale Efficiency of Nile Tilapia Pond Aquaculture and Its Determinants in Tampaksiring District of Bali Province
No full textAquaculture has been playing an increasingly significant role to the Indonesian economy as alternative livelihood, particularly to provide nutritious food and to improve the living standards of rural communities. Since rice farmers in Bali face the competition with imported rice in the market, income diversification through Nile tilapia aquaculture in a non-permanent pond has got increasing attention in recent years. However, farmers still face inefficiency in aquaculture practices due to production constrains and other socio-economic factors. The main objectives of this study are to analyze the scale efficiency and to determine the factors that influence the efficiency of Nile tilapia aquaculture. To achieve the objective, this study applied data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Tobit regression model. The results of DEA showed that the average technical efficiency and scale efficiency score of nile tilapia aquaculture were 0.97 and 0.98, respectively. Furthermore, there were several factors found to have affected the scale efficiency such as age of farmers, formal education, farming experience, distance of farmer’s pond to main road and the construction design of the pond. As the first study providing the evidence economic efficiency of nile tilapia pond aquaculture in Bali Province, this paper is expected to provide recommendations to support local farmers income diversification.

Technical Efficiency and Economies of Scale for Partnership- Based of Virginia Tobacco Farming in Buleleng, Bali, Indonesia: A Non-parametric Approach
No full textIn operating their farms, Virginia tobacco farmers establish partnerships with a number of companies, such as Company GG and Company BB. The level of tobacco production efficiency obtained is considered to be dependent on the experiences of the partner companies. This study aims to analyze the technical efficiency and the economies of scale of Virginia tobacco farming in Buleleng regency, Bali. Employing a survey method, census was conducted on a total of 87 respondents. Data was analyzed using a non-parametric approach, with a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. Results show that based on planting location and acreage, the technical efficiency of Company GG partners is relatively higher than that of Company BB. The efficiency scale (SE = 1) revealed that farmers participating under the Company GG partnership is relatively more efficient compared to Company BB farmers. Further, the economies of scale score based on planting location show that the majority of Company GG farmers experience constant return to scale (CRS) category, while most Company BB farmers fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRC) category. A slightly different result is displayed by the economies of scale analysis based on acreage, where the majority of Company GG farmers with up to 4 ha of planting area is under the increasing return to scale (IRS), while farmers with >4 ha to 6 ha of planting area is under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. For Company BB farmers with up to 2 ha of planting area, 50% are experiencing constant return to scale (CRS) and 50% are experiencing increasing return to scale (IRS). Meanwhile, those who have >2 ha up to 6 ha, fall under the decreasing return to scale (DRS) category. Keywords: efficiency, Virginia tobacco, partnership, data envelopment analysis, Bal

Tamba-Kuii Bailey in spotlight with activist icon Angela Davis for \u27Great Conversation\u27 Feb. 6
No full textTamba-Kuii Bailey in spotlight with activist icon Angela Davis for \u27Great Conversation\u27 Feb. 6
University of North Dakota Assistant Professor Tamba-Kuii Bailey will share the Chester Fritz Auditorium stage with an icon of civil rights activism at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 6, when Angela Davis comes to campus for the latest installment of the University\u27s Great Conversations series.
Bailey has been chosen to be the facilitator for the upcoming conversation, which is sponsored by the University Program Council (UPC). He\u27s been working this week to compile a list of questions for Davis, a leading voice of opposition, since the 1960s, on issues such as war, racism, sexism, the prison industrial complex, the death penalty, and a champion for gay rights.
I am thrilled and honored to serve as the facilitator of the \u27Great Conversation\u27 with Angela Davis, Bailey said. It is a rare opportunity to interview one of the great intellectual minds and human rights activist of 20th and 21st centuries. Angela Davis has influenced a generation of activists and continues to stand on the front lines fighting against oppression and disenfranchisement of marginalized people.
Bailey has served four years as a faculty member in the UND Department of Counseling Psychology and Community Services. His background and research interests make him uniquely qualified and the perfect designee to interview Davis. His studies broadly defined, are in the areas of Black Psychology and Multicultural Psychology. More specifically, his research interests focus on racial oppression, internalized racial oppression, liberation psychology, and multicultural competencies development. He also studies racial identity development and the impact of racism.
As a child, I grew up with parents who were actively involved in the civil and human rights movements, Bailey said. While attending planning meetings, painting picket signs, and marching in demonstrations, I was exposed to the works of Angela Davis and many other activists and freedom fighters.
Those early life events fueled Bailey\u27s desire to explore and understand the impact of racism on African Americans and other people of Color. His graduate training in African American Studies and Counseling Psychology afforded also him the opportunity to examine the psychological impact of racial oppression and internalization of racial oppression within the African American community and develop ways of addressing these phenomena.
I view these life-shaping experiences as instrumental in my preparation to take on this role as the facilitator of the Great Conversation with Angela Davis, he said.
Bailey also teaches courses in multicultural counseling, counseling methods, ethics and Black psychology, as well as co-advisor for the UND Black Student Association.
The Great Conversation with Angela Davis is free and open to the public, and will be followed by a reception and book signing with Davis at UND\u27s new Gorecki Alumni Center, next door to the auditorium.
UND Great Conversations traditionally have been done with a fairly intimate flair in which the facilitator and the interviewee sit closely, across from one another, on stage before an audience. The facilitator sets the tone for the conversation with a series of questions before opening it up to the public.
The conversations, which have featured well-known people such as UND alumnus and legendary NBA basketball coach Phil Jackson, UND alumnus and Hollywood character actor Sam Anderson, and JFK speechwriter and historian Ted Sorensen, have provided UND students, faculty, staff and the Greater Grand Forks community the opportunity to see, hear and interact with live history. The next conversation, with Davis, will be a rare chance for the public to interact with someone who was involved in areas of social activism including the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther Party, Communist Party and was the third woman to appear on the FBI\u27s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List.
More about Angela Davis
Born on Jan. 26, 1944, in Birmingham, Alabama, Angela Davis is best known as a radical African American educator and activist for civil rights and other social issues. As early as 1969, Davis began publicly speaking, voicing her opposition to the Vietnam War, racism, sexism, the prison industrial complex, the death penalty and her support of gay rights.
As a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego, she joined the Black Panthers, but spent most of her time working with the Che-Lumumba Club, which was an all-black branch of the Communist Party.
In 1970, Davis purchased the firearms used in an attack that killed a judge, juror, prosecutor and three prison inmates that attempted to escape after holding a courtroom hostage. Because of California State Law, Davis was charged with aggravated kidnapping and first degree murder in the death of Judge Harold Haley and a warrant for her arrest was issued. Four days after the initial warrant was issued, the FBI director J. Edgar Hoover made Angela Davis the third woman to appear on the FBI\u27s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List.
Soon after, Davis became a fugitive and fled California. Upon catching her, President Richard M. Nixon congratulated the FBI on its capture of the dangerous terrorist, Angela Davis . After spending 18 months behind bars, Davis was acquitted of all charges.
Angela Davis also ran for Vice-President along with the veteran party leader of the Communist Party, Gus Hall. However, several years later she separated from the Communist Party, leaving it to help found the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism
Davis has continued a career of activism, and a principal focus of her current activism is the state of prisons within the United States. Considering herself an abolitionist, not a prison reformer, Davis was one of the primary founders of Critical Resistance, a national grassroots organization dedicated to building a movement to abolish the prison system.
In 1997, she declared herself to be a lesbian in Out magazine and is now an activist for GLBTQ rights.
Today she is a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she teaches courses on the history of consciousness. Dr. Davis is the author of several books, including Women, Race, and Class (1980) and Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003).

Implementation of the marketing mix and selection of chocholate marketing strategy priorities in a chocolate company in Bali [Implementasi marketing mix serta pemilihan prioritas strategi pemasaran cokelat pada perusahaan cokelat di Bali]
No full textChocolate is a processed product derived from cocoa beans that has undergone fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding to produce high-quality cocoa powder. The processing of chocolate in a company involves many lengthy stages. Implementing a marketing mix is used as a technique to increase sales. The company needs to identify the superior products favored by consumers to develop priority marketing strategies. This study aims to analyze the application of the marketing mix in the chocolate industry and generate prioritized marketing strategies for the superior chocolate products produced by a company in Bali. The research method used is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results indicate that the marketing mix includes chocolate products such as chocolate cream, chocolate bars, and liquid chocolate. Product pricing depends on the form, with the most apparent pricing being for chocolate bars, calculated based on weight in grams. The production site is located at the main factory, which processes cocoa into chocolate cream, chocolate bars, and liquid chocolate, allowing consumers to experience the chocolate processing firsthand and try packaging chocolate at the factory. Chocolate promotion is continuously carried out through offline and online media, such as the company's website, which provides background information on chocolate production to the industry in Bali. The priority in chocolate marketing, based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process, is chocolate cream, followed by chocolate bars and liquid chocolate

Educational governance in Africa : a socio-anthropology of public partnership action in education in Cameroon
No full textCette thèse a pour objet l’étude de la gouvernance partenariale dans l’action publique en éducation au Cameroun. Elle fut inspirée au départ par plusieurs questions de fond sur la situation socioculturelle, économique et politique de ce pays : comment comprendre le fossé considérable constaté au Cameroun entre l’importance des investissements consentis par la quasi-totalité de ses acteurs et partenaires nationaux et internationaux de l’éducation et l’extrême précarité dans laquelle vit l’essentiel de la population, ainsi que le chômage qui touche un si grand nombre de jeunes diplômés ? N’y a-t-il pas lieu de revoir la problématique de l’adéquation entre les offres de formations et le marché de l’emploi dans ce pays ? En d’autres termes, les politiques de l’éducation mises en œuvre au Cameroun épousent-elles les réalités socioculturelles, économiques et politiques de ce pays? Ces questions nous ont amené à interroger les modes de gouvernance de l’éducation dans ce pays, et plus particulièrement la place et le rôle (éventuellement) accordés aux acteurs et partenaires de cette gouvernance.Pour cela, nous avons effectué une enquête ethnographique au long cours fondée sur trois principales sources d’informations. Une recherche documentaire qui a d’abord révélé une certaine faiblesse des travaux scientifiques de grande notoriété sur les politiques publiques de manière générale au Cameroun et dans le domaine de l’éducation en particulier. Pour pallier ce manque de travaux sur lesquels nous aurions pu appuyer nos analyses, mais aussi en l’absence de sources écrites fiables et en grand nombre dans un pays où l’oral joue encore un rôle central dans les pratiques administratives, nous avons conduit 56 entretiens semi-directifs avec des acteurs des politiques d’éducation au Cameroun et conduit de nombreuses observations participantes dans le milieu éducatif camerounais.Sur le plan théorique, nos travaux s’inscrivent dans le courant de la socio-anthropologie de l’action publique dont la pertinence, dans la saisie des influences de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie sur les problématiques actuelles de l’action publique de manière générale, permet de mieux appréhender la complexité des questions de politiques publiques en terrains africains, caractérisés par la rencontre des déterminants socioculturels traditionnels et modernes.Cette recherche est structurée en trois temps. La première partie présente ses caractéristiques fondamentales : le contexte historique, géographique et institutionnel particulier dans lequel elle fut déployée (chapitre 1), son cadre théorique (chapitre 2) et sa méthodologie (chapitre 3). Dans une deuxième partie, nous procédons à une longue mais nécessaire déconstruction des catégories de « gouvernance » et de « partenariat » au moment de les appliquer en contexte africain, plus spécialement ici camerounais. Cette déconstruction concerne aussi bien les catégories scientifiques utilisées le plus souvent dans la littérature internationale (chapitre 4) que les catégories d’action publique elles-mêmes (chapitre 5 et 6). Une fois cette déconstruction opérée, nous pouvons, en troisième partie, proposer une analyse mieux fondée, empiriquement et théoriquement, des modes de gouvernement effectifs de l’éducation au Cameroun, par-delà les mots, les concepts usuels ou les discours politiques de façade. La recherche met ainsi en évidence l’importance majeure des déterminants culturels et historiques dans la fabrique des politiques d’éducation au Cameroun, les ressorts effectifs de la régulation du système d’éducation derrière l’usage de catégories d’action publique écrans qui peinent à les masquer (bureaucratie, clientélisme, abus de biens publics etc.) et l’importance d’une conception néo-patrimonialiste du pouvoir. Ces éléments nous amènent à proposer en conclusion plusieurs pistes pour améliorer le gouvernement de l’éducation au Cameroun.The purpose of this thesis is the study of partnership governance in public action in education in Cameroon. It was initially inspired by several fundamental questions on the socio-cultural, economic and political situation of this country : how to understand the considerable gap observed in Cameroon between the importance of the investments made by almost all of its national and international actors and partners education and the extreme precariousness in which most of the population lives, as well as the unemployment which affects so many young graduates? Is it not necessary to review the issue of the match between training offers and the job market in this country? In other words, do the education policies implemented in Cameroon embrace the socio-cultural, economic and political realities of this country? These questions have led us to question the modes of governance of education in this country, and more particularly the place and role (possibly) accorded to the actors and partners of this governance.To do this, we carried out a long-term ethnographic survey based on three main sources of information. A documentary research which first revealed a certain weakness in the scientific work of great notoriety on public policies in general in Cameroon and in the field of education in particular. To compensate for this lack of work on which we could have based our analyzes, but also in the absence of reliable written sources and in large number in a country where oral communication still plays a central role in administrative practices, we conducted 56 semi-structured interviews with education policy actors in Cameroon and conducted numerous participant observations in the Cameroonian educational environment.On the theoretical level, our work falls within the current of the socio-anthropology of public action, the relevance of which, in the grasp of the influences of anthropology and sociology on the current issues of public action in general, allows a better understanding of the complexity of public policy issues in African areas, characterized by the meeting of traditional and modern socio-cultural determinants.This research is structured in three stages. The first part presents its fundamental characteristics : the particular historical, geographical and institutional context in which it was deployed (chapter 1), its theoretical framework (chapter 2) and its methodology (chapter 3). In a second part, we proceed to a long but necessary deconstruction of the categories of “governance” and “partnership” when applying them in the African context, more specifically here in Cameroon. This deconstruction concerns both the scientific categories most often used in international literature (chapter 4) and the public action categories themselves (chapters 5 and 6). Once this deconstruction has taken place, we can, in the third part, propose a better-founded analysis, empirically and theoretically, of the effective modes of government of education in Cameroon, beyond the usual words, concepts or facade political speeches. The research thus highlights the major importance of cultural and historical determinants in the making of education policies in Cameroon, the effective driving forces behind the regulation of the education system behind the use of categories of public action screens that are struggling to mask them (bureaucracy, patronage, abuse of public goods, etc.) and the importance of a neo-patrimonialist conception of power. These elements lead us to propose in conclusion several avenues for improving the government of education in Cameroon
Kontribusi dan Efektivitas Pemungutan Pajak Hotel dalam Peningkatan Pendapatan Asli Daerah di Kota Medan Pada Tahun 2017-2019
No full textRegional tax is one of the original regional revenues that can be used for the benefit of regional autonomy. The regional tax realization comes from 8 types of taxes, the realization of regional taxes comes from 5 types of taxes that have increased quite significantly, one of which is the hotel tax whose potential can be developed through hotel tax revenue. Hotel taxes are managed directly by the Regional Government, whose revenues will go to the regional treasury and be used to finance regional development and improve the welfare of its people. The purpose of this study is to determine the target and realization of entertainment tax revenue for the last 3 years, namely 2017-2019, the influence of the contribution and effectiveness of Hotel Taxes on Regional Original Income (PAD) in Medan City and to find out the obstacles faced by BPPRD Medan City in increasing Hotel Tax Receipts and how the efforts are made. The research method used by the author in collecting this data is the method of literature study, documentation and interviews. But until now, conducting interview studies is still not allowed at the Medan City BPPRD due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Through this research, it can be concluded that hotel taxes are still not contributing too much to increasing Local Ownership in Medan City, but they are still quite helpful in increasing PAD in Medan City when compared to other regional tax revenues. This is because BPPRD still has obstacles in increasing Hotel Taxes but BPPRD always tries and makes strategies to increase Regional Revenue which will be useful for the interests of the area.Pajak daerah merupakan salah satu Pendapatan Asli Daerah yang dapat digunakan untuk kepentingan otonomi daerah. Relisasi pajak daerah itu bersumber dari 8 jenis pajak, realisasi pajak daerah berasal dari 5 jenis pajak yang mengalami kenaikan cukup signifikan salah satunya adalah pajak hotel yang dapat dikembangkan potensinya melalui penerimaan pajak hotel. Pajak hotel di kelola langsung oleh Pemerintah Daerah yang penerimaannya akan masuk ke kas daerah dan digunakan untuk membiayai pembangunan daerahnya serta meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakatnya.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui target dan realisasi penerimaan pajak hiburan selama 3 tahun terakhir yakni 2017-2019, pengaruh kontribusi dan tingkat keefektivan Pajak Hotel terhadap Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) di Kota Medan serta mengetahui kendala yang dihadapi oleh BPPRD Kota Medan dalam meningkatkan Penerimaan Pajak Hotel dan bagaimana upaya yang dilakukan.
Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis dalam mengumpulkan data ini ialah metode studi pustaka, dokumentasi dan wawancara. Namun hingga saat ini untuk melakukan studi wawancara masih belum diperbolehkan di BPPRD Kota Medan dikarenakan adanya pandemi covid-19.
Melalui penelitian ini maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pajak hotel masih tidak terlau berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan Pendapatan Asli Daerah di Kota Medan namun masih cukup membantu meningkatkan PAD di Kota Medan jika dibandingkan dengan pendapatan pajak daerah lainnya. Hal ini dikarenakan BPPRD masih memiliki kendala dalam meningkatkan Pajak Hotel tetapi Pihak BPPRD selalu berupaya dan membuat strategi untuk meningkatkan Pendapatan Daerah yang akan berguna untuk kepentingan daerah tersebut.72 HalamanKertas Karya Diplom
Economic Viability Investigation of Mixed-Biomass Briquettes Made from Agricultural Residues for Household Cooking Use
No full textThis paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the prices of mixed briquettes produced from coconut shells (CCS), banana peels (BNP), rattan waste (RWT), and sugarcane bagasse (SGC) and, on the other hand, an analysis of the economic viability of their use as a replacement for conventional household fuels (liquefied petroleum gas, fuelwood, and wood charcoal) in households in Cameroon. The investigation was carried out using the life cycle cost method on a typical household over a ten-year period with annual cooking energy requirements of 950 kWhth. The SGC–CCS and SGC–RWT mixed briquettes with ratios higher than 7.75% and 11.1%, respectively, have prices lower than EUR 0.063/kWhth. The Present Value of the Net Benefit is positive for the use of SGC–CCS and SGC–RWT mixed briquettes. The results show that by making the right mixes of residues, it is possible to obtain biomass briquettes that are less expensive than conventional fuels
