A comprehensive change strategy is needed to achieve the current performance of private university. This study aims to analyze the actual condition of private universities in Indonesia and analyze the role of talent management, knowledge management, university transformation, and academic climate in organizational performance. As well as formulating the strategy of private universities to achieve performance and the maturity level of sustainability. Primary data collection was obtained through questionnaires to lecturers at universities under the coordination of LLDIKTI region III as well as in-depth interviews and discussions of experts consisting of the director-general of non-vocational tertiary institutions, the head of LLDIKTI region III, the chairman of the association of private universities and leaders of private universities. With data analysis method using archive method, PLS-SEM, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process and analysis of sustainability maturity level. The qualitative approach uses 602 secondary data, which is analyzed into a typology of strategies. Furthermore, a quantitative approach was used to obtain 382 primary data from questionnaires distributed to lecturers from various private universitiesin Indonesia. The findings show that the systematic application of talent and knowledge management, university transformation, and academic climate in private university support performance improvement.

Abstrak: Teacher profession is one of important professions in national development especially in education development. The demand of society developing and changing era of globalization causes the teacher to be a mainly focus in development education. Teacher should be professional in doing his job in order to provide optimal performance. Professional teacher is teacher who masters the four competencies which he/she should have. Teacher’s competencies are include pedagogy, professional, personality and social competence. The optimal teacher performance can be achieved, if the teacher has professionalism and an appropriate strategy which is set out to achieve optimal teacher performance improvement. In order to achieve optimal teacher performance at the private high schools in Pekanbaru, there are still a number of problems faced by the private high schools and Depatrment of Education Office in Pekanbaru which are related to teacher performance. The problems are as follows: there are still teachers have not mastered yet the teacher’s competencies optimally, especially pedagogical and professional competence, it is because there are still teachers who are not so able yet to develop curriculum which is often changed into a syllabus and lesson plan form; it is not all schools have yet complete facilities and infrastructure to support the successful implementation of quailified learning process, they are still limited; the issue of teachers' welfare and supervision/monitoring of the school principal, especially in the implementation of supervision should be improved and carried out for all teachers. Teacher professional development is not implemented yet by all teachers, it can be done by scientific papers, reviewing books and art subjects. However, it is not all teachers have a capability to do it yet. Based on this situation, the private senior high schools in Pekanbaru should improve their teachers’ performance in order to achieve qualified shools which produces qualified and excellent graduates. The aims of this study are to analyze or review strategies for improving teacher performance which are appropriate to be implemented to private senior high schools in Pekanbaru and formulate alternative strategies for improving teacher performance which are appropriate to be implemented to private senior high schools in Pekanbaru. This research was carried out at private senior high schools teacher in Pekanbaru. This research method used AHP Model (Analytical Hierarchy Process) with software of Expert Choice 2000 as an approach to look at the structure and priority strategy alternative.

School principal focused on leadership function while teacher focused on his qualified learning activity. The main priority goal which was wanted to be achieved was to improve the qualified learning process. The

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
