Judul: Strategi Pengurangan Penggunaan Metil Bromida untuk Karantina dan Pra Pengapalan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Since January 1st, 2008, government of Indonesia set the import and consumption of methyl bromide, only for quarantine and pre shipment purposes. This policy was a consequence of the ratification of the Vienna Convention and Montreal Protocol by the government. The purposes of this study are: (1) conducting a review of national policies related to methyl bromide and its implementation, (2) conducting a requirement analysis of pesticides for quarantine and preshipment purposes, (3) looking for a strategic priority setting policy methyl bromide. This research was conducted in three cities: Jakarta, Surabaya and Makassar, using primary and secondary data. This study used descriptive analysis, trend analysis, and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The resulted showed that (1). Government policy sets ban on production, import procedures, distribution and use, were not implemented properly; (2). The Government was not successful to reduced methyl bromide consumption through the policy of import quotas. Consumption showed an increasing trend from year to year; (3). The most influence factor on policy was fumigation’s company compliance. A recommended policy strategy is developing monitoring systems of methyl bromide presence which integrated from import, distribution, and use; and coordinated only by one government agency.

Judul: Model of policy implementation development of the use of pesticides on vegetable crops in the province of East Java
Abstrak: The use of pesticides by vegetable farmers is closely related to the policy that has been implemented by the government through Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) program since 1989. However, the fact in the field shows that the use of pesticides for vegetable crops is still high and has caused various negative effects on humans, plant pests and the environment. This study aimed to develop a strategy for policy implementation in the use of pesticides through a system modeling approach. The research was carried out in the main central areas of vegetables (shallots, peppers, cabbages and potatoes) in four regencies including Nganjuk, Kediri, Malang and Problinggo of East Java Province. The respondents were 112 field school of IPM and 112 non- field school of IPM farmers with a method of accidental sampling. There were 12 expert respondents taken from practitioners, bureaucracy and academicians using purposive sampling. The data processing and analysis were assisted by SPSS software, version 16 for Windows, version 2.5 c for powersim modeling system and strategy development with a prospective analysis. The research results showed that the success of policy implementation in pesticide use with indicator 5 (five) appropriate (PP No. 6 / 1995) was categorized inappropriate except for the right target at pest. By using a volume approach to pesticide use, the modeling behavior of a real system in the pesticide use by vegetable farmers was composed of 5 (five) submodels: (1) sub-model of planting area, (2) sub-model of pest attack, (3) sub-model of farmer human resource, (4) sub-model of promotional pressure and (5) sub-model of access to the availability of pesticides. Two factors that acted as input (driver) in the system behavior were found: (1) farmer human resource and (2) the role of officers. Three factors of stakes in the system were: (1) pest attack, (2) support of local government and (3) cross-sector cooperation. Three scenarios were found for the development of policy implementation in pesticide use including (1) pessimistic scenario, (2) moderate scenario, and (3) optimistic scenario. Based on the simulation results of using pesticide on the three scenarios until the year 2025, the final data of pesticides use were obtained as follows: pessimistic scenario was 53.338,7 tons, moderate scenario 32.634,84 tons and optimistic scenario 23.107,84 tons. Priority in the development of policy implementation in the use of pesticides is the empowerment of farmers through education and training, increased role of field officers supported by cross-sector coordination and pest control.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
