Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
This paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,
POLA DISTRIBUSI HUJAN JAM-JAMAN DI SUB DAS KEDUANG
Winda Agustin, 2010, Pola Distribusi Hujan Jam-jaman di Sub DAS Keduang.
Skripsi, Jurusan Teknik Sipil Fakultas Teknik Universitas Sebelas Maret
Surakarta.
Sub DAS Keduang merupakan salah satu sub DAS yang bermuara di Waduk
Wonogiri. Perubahan iklim secara global berpengaruh terhadap perubahan pola
hujan, dalam skala ruang, waktu, dan besaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah
untuk mengetahui validitas data hujan, mengetahui karakteristik hujan, dan
mengetahui pola distribusi hujan jam-jaman di Sub DAS Keduang.
Validitas data hujan dilakukan dengan metode RAPS (Rescaled Adjusted Partial
Sums). Karakteristik hujan ditentukan dengan pengelompokkan data berdasarkan
durasi dan kejadian hujan. Analisis pola agihan jam-jaman dilakukan berdasarkan
observed data dan dicari kemiripannya dengan metode Modified Mononobe,
Alternating Block Method (ABM), dan Triangular Hyetograph Method (THM).
Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dari sembilan stasiun hujan yang ada delapan
di antaranya panggah. Hujan yang terjadi di Sub DAS Keduang didominasi oleh
kejadian hujan dua jam. Pola agihan hujan jam-jaman menunjukkan bahwa agihan
hujan 2, 3, 5, 7, dan 8 jam mengikuti bentuk Modified Mononobe, sedangkan
agihan hujan 4 dan 6 jam mengikuti bentuk Triangular Hyetograph Method
(THM).
Kata Kunci: pola agihan hujan, validitas data hujan, karakteristik hujan
PENGELOLAAN ARSIP DINAMIS AKTIF PADA SUBBAGIAN TATA USAHA KEUANGAN KANTOR KEMENTERIAN AGAMA KOTA SURABAYA
The purpose of this study was to determine the Dynamic Archives
Management in the Financial Administration Sub-Section at the Office of the
Ministry of Religious Affairs, Surabaya City. The Office of the Ministry of
Religious Affairs uses the principle of accessibility, the research method used is a
qualitative descriptive method, namely conducting literature reviews and
analyzing research objects in the field with observation, documentation and
literature studies. The results showed that archive management is dynamic. The
obstacles found starting from sorting, numbering, and storage are the lack of
archiving media and the limited management space for archive storage. Therefore,
the storage of archives in the Ministry of Religion Administration should be
provided with archiving media by utilizing a modified box so that the results are
neat. In addition, by using a digital archive syste
Framing gender intersections in the European Union: What implications for the quality of intersectionality in policies?
This article explores the extent to which the emergence of an antidiscrimination policy in the European Union (EU) implies a shift in EU gender equality policies towards an intersectional approach. The frame analysis of EU gender equality policy documents shows that intersectional dimensions are increasingly present but they are treated implicitly and from a separate perspective, and the inclusion of a wide range of inequalities often implies a degendering of the policy content. We assess the implications of the identified intersectionality trends for the quality of intersectionality in gender equality policies, and we suggest the practice of an "intersectionality impact assessment" as a way to improve the quality of EU policy-making. © 2011 The Author

Perencanaan Persediaan Bahan Baku Storage Tank Dengan Teknik Lot Sizing Wagner Within Pada Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
Pengendalian persediaan dalam dunia industri begitu krusial. Bahan baku merupakan bagian penting dari proses produksi perusahaan. PT Aneka Jasa Teknik merupakan perusahaan pembuat storage tank dengan bahan baku berupa Plate, flage, serta pipa. Bahan baku tersebut sering terjadi kelebihan ataupun kekurangan stok. Penelitian ini diperlukan guna menuntaskan masalah perusahaan untuk menemukan persediaan bahan baku yang efektif serta mengurangi resiko akibat kekurangan stock perencanaan pesanan dan biaya tambahan yang disebabkan oleh kekurangan kelebihan bahan baku. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukan bahwa metode wagner within dapat menghemat pengeluaran perusahaan dibandingkan dengan metode perusahaan saat ini dengen total biaya pemesanana pada bahan baku storage tank sebesar Dengen total biaya pemesanana pada bahan baku storage tank sebesar Rp.899.200,00 di banding dengan biaya Perusahaan saat tidak mengunakan metode wagner within biaya yang didapat sebesar Rp.13.126,400. Biaya tersebut efisien karena jumlah pesan yang dikirim melalui metode Wagner Within lebih sedikit daripada yang dikirim oleh perusahaan saat ini. Metode wagner within dapat berpengaruh pada terpenuhinya bahan baku pada saat diperlukan dan tidak menyebabkan overloadnya gudang
