Judul: Organizing system of forest and land fire control organization in Indonesia
Abstrak: Forest/land fire control in Indonesia has still been managed under an unclear organizing system connecting national, provincial and local level. This study aims at designing a conceptual model of organizing system of forest and land fire control. The model considers the fire situation, the positions and roles of currently involved organizations, the relationships among those organizations, and the effectiveness of key organizations. This study employes some methods of analysis including: ISM for the position and role of organizations, descriptive for analyzing the organizations’ profile, adaptation of Bolland and Wilson’s procedur for organizational relationships, and AHP for the organizational effectiveness. The research was held in Jakarta, Riau and West Kalimantan in mid 2009 until mid 2010. The analysis of fire situation realizes that the use of hotspot as an indicator of forest/land fire is supported. It also recognizes that in the last ten years, the number of hotspots tends to incline by 39,36% per year for the whole country, 47,15% for Riau and 111,71% for West Kalimantan. The study reveals that among the organizations involved in forest/land fire control, those managing forestry, agriculture, the environment and disaster take key position and roles in either one or more fields of fire control including prevention, suppression, and post-fire treatment. These organizations are then taken into consideration to play the main roles in the proposed organizing system. Ineffectual coordination among the observed organizations both within the same and between levels is also exposed. Most of the key organizations at national and provincial levels are categorized effective, although they are at low level effectiveness. While at district level, almost all key organizations are still ineffective. The study proposes a conceptual model of organizing system, integrating the forest/land fire control responsibility under the forestry agency at national, provincial and district levels. As the decentralization and autonomy policies require, the relationships among these forest/land fire control organizations between levels are in the form of coordination rather than commando. The implementation of proposed organizing system requires some conditions including: proper understanding on the principles of decentralization and autonomy and a strong legal foundation and commitment for establishing and developing the system. Meanwhile, upon its establishment, the system needs to determine clear visions and objectives, develop its capacities, enhance its interorganizational relationships, and provide any appropriate funding schemes in order to smoothly run in managing the forest/land fire control

Judul: Evaluation Policy Determination Of Prone Forest Fires Area in West Kalimantan Province
Abstrak: Indonesia was one of countries having the world's fastest forest destruction. The damage was partly due to the land and forest fires that causing a serious impact on ecological, social, political and economy. The fires usually occur during the dry season in prone fire Province such as West Kalimantan. The fires in West Kalimantan is closely related to forests and land clearing activities. The research was carried out with spatial analysis of land cover change and evaluation of forest fire control policies in West Kalimantan Province. According to land cover analysis change during period 2000-2003, 2003-2006, 2006-2009, forest was the most widely land cover reduced by 631,957.50 ha, while the most significant increased were plantations 382,158.17 ha, bush/shrub 181,861.03 ha and 48631.85 ha of open land.. The most influence factor of land and forest fires was the land cover and land use that closely related to economic needs. In this case clearing land for plantations and paddy fields and also the shifting cultivation culture. of the policy setting fire prone areas of forest in West Kalimantan have not been effective, as indicated by a high change of forest land into forests and high non-hotspots. Determination of West Kalimantan as areas prone to forest fires is considered to be appropriate, but the implementation were considered less effective. This was due to the high rate of land cover change from forest to non forest and the hotspots also remains high, the legislation at the district level still not complete, inefficiency in implementing the mandate of the legislation at the local level, and ineffeciency coordination between central and local governments.

Judul: Penetapan Umur Simpan Telur Asin Rendah Kolesterol pada Penyimpanan Suhu Ruang
Abstrak: Pemanfaatan telur bebek sebagai bahan pangan salah satunya yaitu telur asin. Namun, muncul kesadaran masyarakat akan tingginya kandungan kolesterol pada telur asin sehingga dikembangkan inovasi telur asin rendah kolesterol. Produk telur asin di pasaran memiliki umur simpan pendek tetapi belum diidentifikasi parameter penentu kerusakan produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan mutu dan menetapkan umur simpan telur asin selama penyimpanan suhu ruang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membuat telur asin kemudian dilakukan pengemasan vakum, lalu disimpan hingga terjadi kerusakan pada suhu ruang. Penentuan umur simpan dilakukan dengan metode extended storage studies berdasarkan parameter kadar air, pH, kadar kolesterol, kecerahan, organoleptik, serta uji total plate count. Hasil karakteristik penyimpanan hari ke-10 telur asin diperoleh nilai tingkat kecerahan putih telur sebesar 25,96, kecerahan kuning telur 25,98, pH 7,19, kadar air putih telur 84,64%, kadar air kuning telur 38,72%, dan total mikroba 4,1 × 105 cfu/mL. Kadar kolesterol sebesar 233,39 mg/100 g pada hari pertama dan mengalami penurunan menjadi 131,61 mg/100 g pada hari kesepuluh. Mutu telur asin mengalami perubahan yang mengarah pada kerusakan selama penyimpanan suhu ruang. Telur asin tanpa kemasan memiliki umur simpan hingga 9 hari dengan total mikroba sebesar 1,0 x 105 cfu/mL., The utilization of duck eggs as a food ingredient includes salted eggs. However, public awareness of the high cholesterol content in salted eggs has led to the development of low-cholesterol salted egg innovations. Salted egg products in the market have a short shelf life, but the determining parameters for product spoilage have not been identified. This research aims to understand the quality changes and establish the shelf life of salted eggs during room temperature storage. The study involves producing salted eggs, vacuum packaging them, and then storing them at room temperature until spoilage occurs. The determination of the shelf life is based on extended storage studies, considering parameters such as moisture content, pH, cholesterol content, brightness, organoleptic, as well as a total plate count test. The characteristic results after 10 days of storage show that the brightness of the egg whites is 25.96, the brightness of the egg yolks is 25.98, pH is 7.19, the moisture content of egg whites is 84.64%, the moisture content of egg yolks is 38.72%, and the total microbial count is 4.1 × 105 cfu/mL. The cholesterol content decreases from 233.39 mg/100 g on the first day to 131.61 mg/100 g on the tenth day. The quality of salted eggs undergoes changes that lead to spoilage during room temperature storage. Unpackaged salted eggs have a shelf life of up to 9 days with a total microbial count of 1.0 x 105 cfu/mL.
