Judul: Kelayakan Dan Strategi Pengembangan Usaha Pembibitan Sagu Oleh Pt Y Di Lokasi Perkebunan Sagu Pt X
Abstrak: Indonesia has a variety of plants that produce carbohydrates, both derived from the grain and the rod such as sago and palm sugar. Seeing a great opportunity of sago utilization, Company X (X) developed sago plantation in peatlands located in Meranti District, Riau Province. X cooperates with Company Y (Y) to establish nursery and planting activities to meet the growing needs of the sago planting. This study aims to analyze financial feasibility and determine business development strategy of sago nursery by Y. Analytical methods used are: (1) Financial feasibility analysis through the Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period (PBP), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Profitability Index (PI) and Break Event Point (BEP), (2) Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis to determine strategy alternatives, and (3) Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the priority of selected strategies. The results of financial feasibility analysis shows calculated NPV (-Rp2.084.067.814) and PI (0.69), then the sago nursery business are considered not feasible. It will be considered to be feasible if Y made improvements in nursery and cultivation techniques to reduce the mortality rate or renegotiate the purchase price to X. Alternatives strategy that can be selected by Y is an intensive strategy, through product development. This is consistent with the analysis of Internal – External (IE) matrix that shows Y is in grow and build position. Priority business development strategy based on AHP is to 1) Increase production and decrease mortality rate (0.486), 2) Improve nursery and planting techniques (0.230), 3) Improve coordination and cooperation (0.150), and 4) Planting during the rainy season (0.134). Several advices have been proposed to Y are to 1) Perform technical improvements in nursery and planting to reduce mortality rate, 2) Renegotiate purchase price, and 3) Implement strategies that lead to product development by improvements in nursery and sago planting techniques.

Abstrak: The study was conducted in PT National Sago Prima, Selat Panjang, Riau on February to June 2011. The study aimed to provide knowledge, skills, technique capability and management of sago palm especially in sago nursery. The method are direct for getting primary data and indirect for secondary data. Secondary data takes from interviewing and discussing with the company staff and literacy study to get more information. Generally, the primary data could get from technique activity in the field but the focus case in sago nursery. The experiment was conducted to obtain information in a nursery on the effects of trimming and organic hormone application. The experiment was arranged in Split-plot design, where the main plot was trimming on sucker petiole with three factors (without trimming (P0), trimming 20 cm above baneer (P1), and trimming 30 cm above baneer (P2)) and the subplot was four factors of application of organic hormone (without concentration (H0), concentration 1ml/l (H1), concentration 3 ml/l (H2), and concentration 5 ml/l (H3)). The result showed trimming on sucker petiole was significant difference in presentation survival rate and vegetative growth. Trimming 20 cm above baneer (P1) better than trimming 30 cm above baneer (P2) and without trimming (P0). Generally, organic hormone application didn’t show any significant difference, but organic hormone application concentration 5 ml/l (H3) was significant difference in number of sucker leaves, new leaf length, and trimming leaf wide. The interaction between treatments was significant difference in trimming leaf length and number of sucker new leaflet. Based on average value trimming 20 cm above baneer and without concentration (P1H0) showed the best result in survival rate and number of sucker leaves. The survival rate of sucker was positively correlated with the emergence of breath root. The results of this experiment showed that the hight survival rate of sucker displayed higher percentage of emergence breath root.

Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
