Authors: Wartini Sri
Published: November 2024

The paper is aimed to analysed comprehensively the impacts of REDD + to the human right of indigeneous people in developing countries based on International law perspective. The impacts of climate change is not only to the environments, such as drought, flooding, and raising of the sea level, but also to the economic and social life. Reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a key component in the global strategy to mitigate climate change. However, the REDD+ program potentially causes human rights violation to the rights of indigeneous people in developing countries, if there is no respect of the rights of the indigenous people and the host state do not prepare well concerning the regulations and institutional bodies to cope up with the REDD+ implementation .The research is normative juridical research by applying historical, and conceptual, statutory and comparative approaches. The results of this research indicate that the implementation of REDD + in most developing countries still potentially cause the violation to the human right of indigeneous people , if the REDD+ is not conducted in accordance with the Paris Agreement the ILO Convention as well as UNDRIP. Hence, there are some measures that can be carried out to prevent the violation of human rights to indigeneous people in implementing the REDD Program in Developing Countries. However, it is believed that there are some challenges and opportunities concerning the implementation of REDD + in developing countries.

Published: November 2024

The proliferation of coffee shops and the coffee lifestyle of urbanites in Indonesia has kept the enthusiasm of businesspeople in rural areas for developing similar businesses. This article presents a novel study that dissects the unique efforts of the Uwarkop Sebro coffee shop in Cileungsi Kidul, a villagial and rural area in Bogor, Indonesia, from the perspective of the seven dimensions of Village and Rural Branding theory: locality, rurality, spatiality, cultural identity, communality, naturalness, and homeliness. Using a descriptive case study approach, the findings highlight the various modes of communication to market Uwarkop Sebro's brand values. In addition to the prominent locality, rurality, and spatiality, Uwarkop Sebro also excels in communality and homeliness but is weak in cultural identity, where its geographical character located on the edge of West Java (majority of Sundanese ethnicity) and not far from Jakarta (originally Betawi ethnicity), makes the people of Cileungsi have a less assertive culture. In terms of naturalness, apart from Jonggol coffee and the partially unspoiled nature of the countryside, Cileungsi has no other distinctive products. This study is the first to examine rural coffee shops that market their brands by combining a trihelix of brand values: service, specialty produce, and place.

Published: November 2024

Small and medium-sized fish salting enterprises are the focus of this study, which also looks at the benefits and challenges of halal certification and its relationship to business value. Applying the observation method and statistical and descriptive research approaches, the study identifies a lack of knowledge, budgetary constraints, and inadequate aid from stakeholders as the three main obstacles that these small and medium enterprises (SMEs) confront. Despite these limitations, the study highlights the potential of halal certification to improve product quality, boost customer confidence, and increase market competitiveness, particularly in relation to the growing Muslim consumer market. Halal certification can provide significant advantages; not only does it ensure compliance with Islamic dietary requirements and cater to the growing Muslim market, but it also improves product quality, instils consumer trust and loyalty, and boosts market competitiveness. The study’s theoretical value enhances the knowledge-attitude-behavior model paradigm. Realistically, it lays out the steps that local SMEs may take to become certified and reap the benefits of doing so. Despite the study’s regional emphasis, its suggestions are generalizable to other areas. Future studies should investigate the financial performance of halal-certified and non-certified fish-salting enterprises, for instance.

Published: November 2024

One commodity in the vegetable horticulture subsector that is susceptible to failure is shallots. Farmers who are logical in their core are risk averse. Farmers’ risk-taking behavior is influenced by socioeconomic factors. The study intends to examine three key aspects of risk: (1) its level; (2) farmers’ risk-taking behavior; and (3) social factors influencing farmers’ risk-taking behavior in relation to shallot farming. The analysis used in the study was descriptive in nature. Observation and interviews were used to collect data, with questionnaire guidance. Compared to the Srikayang variety, the tajuk variety carries a higher risk of shallot farming. Most farmers exhibit aversion to the risks associated with growing shallots. A farmer’s aversion to risk increases with the size of their land, their age, and how frequently their venture fails. Farmers’ risk aversion decreases with education level, amount of shallot farming experience, number of family members, and farm income. Compared to the Srikayang variety, farmers are less willing to take on the risk of growing shallot of the tajuk variety. Farmers who plant shallots in a timely manner will reap the best benefits. Farmers are taught when to plant shallots through counseling.

Authors: Istiyanti Eni , Fairuz Ramli Mona , Naufan Firmansyah Muhammad
Published: November 2024

The organic farming system is an all-natural agricultural system without chemical substances. However, the organic farming system should consider several concerning factors, particularly the chosen fertilizer. Since organic fertilizers are low in nutrients, they must be used in greater amounts. Similarly, using plant-based insecticides for pests and disease control can be quite slow. The present study analyzes the levels and factors affecting organic rice farming production risk. The research was conducted in Kulonprogo Regency as a pioneer of organic farming with certified farmer groups from the Organic Certification Institute. The data collection uses a census approach; all members of the farmer groups, totaling 88 farmers, were the research respondents. The level of production risk of organic rice is analyzed using the Coefficient of Variation model (CV). Meanwhile, the factors affecting the production risk of organic rice are evaluated using the production function of Just and Pope’s production risk model and Cobb-Douglas’s natural logarithmic form. The production risk of organic rice for farmers with owned and non-owned land is in the low category. Meanwhile, land area and status can affect the production risk of organic rice. The wider land employed for organic rice farming, the greater the production risk. Farmers in Kulonprogo Regency should continue to use organic rice farming because the production risk is low.

Authors: Riyadi Slamet , Mulya Rezka , Nabila Realisti Aulia
Published: November 2024

Corn is an important commodity in Indonesia and one of the world’s staple foods. According to FAO in 2017, disease problems often hamper corn production. The main problems that affect crop yields are diseases that damage corn leaves, including rust, spot, blight and downy mildew. Manual disease identification on corn leaves has limitations in consistency and scalability. A digital image processing system is needed to increase the speed and accuracy of recognition. Classification of types of corn leaf disease is needed so that farmers can distinguish types of corn leaf disease. Therefore, to identify four forms of maize leaf disease, this study tested a CNN model using the EfficientNetB3 and MobileNetV2 architectures. The data used to evaluate these two models is divided into training and testing subsets. Based on test results with 50 epochs, EfficientNetB3 obtained 93.20% accuracy with a loss of 0.0850, while MobileNetV2 obtained 92.48% accuracy with a loss of 0.19020. When the test data is evaluated, EfficientNetB3 performs better than MobileNetV2. MobileNetV2 has limitations in handling complex feature representation on very complex data. On the other hand, although it provides better results, EfficientNetB3 has the disadvantage of high computing and memory resource requirements, which can hamper efficiency in practical implementation. Based on these findings, EfficientNetB3 is recommended because it performs better in maize leaf disease classification, shows smaller losses and higher accuracy than MobileNetV2. By using this model, corn plant diseases can be identified efficiently and precisely, thereby improving disease control and producing more productive corn plants.

Authors: Susilo Dewi Sukuriyati , Ananda Utama Nafi , Rimbawati Dwi
Published: November 2024

Non-climacteric fruits, such as cucumber, do not undergo ripening after harvested. However, other metabolic processes such as respiration and transpiration can still occur during transportation and storage. Both metabolic processes result in the decrease of moisture content in cucumber. The adverse effects on fruit with high water loss are poor appearance and shorter shelf life. Thus, postharvest treatments to avoid moisture content decline are crucial and imperative in cucumber. The present study investigated sago starch’s optimal concentration and effect as a potential edible coating in non-climacteric fruit (cucumber var. CU 699). A completely randomized design study was used with four different coating treatments: control, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% of sago starch edible coating groups. A hedonic test and color measurement were conducted to evaluate the sensory attributes of the cucumber after ten days of storage. The physicochemical properties of cucumber analyzed to assess the shelf-life include weight loss, hardness, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and vitamin C content. Sago starch edible coating treatment showed the ability to retain the visual attributes of cucumber and a higher likeness score after the hedonic test compared to control samples.

Published: November 2024

The primary challenge in red wine production is optimizing conditions for the accumulation of phenolic compounds in grape berries, crucial for the wine’s aroma, color, and flavor. With climate change impacting these components, it’s vital to study the transformation of carbohydrate-acid and phenolic complexes as grapes reach ripeness. This study focuses on the ‘Bastardo Magarachskiy’ grape variety and the effects of foliar mineral fertilization (NTP-Sintez LLC, Belarus) during ripening. Our findings show that experimental processing schemes enhance sugar accumulation in the berries by 1-4 g/100 cm3. The total anthocyanin potential ranged from 1187 to 1684 mg/dm3, with maximum extraction efficiency (61-65%) occurring at sugar concentrations of 21-23 g/100 cm3. Higher sugar levels led to reduced extraction efficiency. The phenolic profile was dominated by flavan-3-ols and anthocyanins, comprising 82.7% to 96.3% of total phenolics. Throughout ripening, there was a significant increase in the mass concentration of primary phenolic compounds in the berries, highlighting the importance of monitoring these changes for optimal wine production.

Population growth drives food demand, which requires increased production to offset up. Furthermore, the principle of sustainability must be implemented through organic farming practices to ensure that future food needs are met. However, many farmers still tend to practice conventional farming. This study aims to determine the profitability and technical sustainability level in organic, non-organic, and semi-organic rice cultivation systems in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province. The sample was 90 farmers representing the three cultivation systems. Profitability analysis and Rice Check measurement were employed to answer the research aims. The results showed that the R/C ratio in the organic cultivation system had a better performance of 1.50 compared to the other systems of 1.36 (semi-organic) and 1.20 (non-organic). Furthermore, the three cultivation systems had higher profitability than the deposit interest rate (2.5%), which was 91.99% (organic), 74.46% (non-organic), and 70.66% (semi-organic). Rice check analysis showed that organic rice had the highest average score of 73.59% (sustainable), non-organic rice with a score of 59.27% (intermediate sustainable), and semi-organic rice with 56.39% (intermediate sustainable). This research was expected to be a reference for farmers in developing organic farming and how to conduct more efficient cultivation practices with Rice Check.

Shallots cultivated by farmers in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, especially Bantul Regency and Kulon Progo Regency, have implemented environmentally friendly farming, apart from conventional farming. This research aims to analyze the costs, income, profits and feasibility of environmentally friendly and conventional shallot farming in Kulon Progo Regency. This research was conducted in Srikayangan Village, which is a center for shallots in Kulon Progo Regency, both environmentally friendly and conventional. Simple random sampling was used by drawing lots using Microsoft Excel, then 30 environmentally friendly farmers and 26 conventional farmers were chosen. Data analysis used costs, revenue and profits by testing using the independent sample t-test in the SPSS application. Quantitative descriptive analysis to analyze feasibility of farming using R/C. The research results showed the production costs of conventional shallot farming are lower than environmentally friendly shallot but not significantly. However, the income and profit of conventional shallot farming is higher than environmentally friendly farming. This is due to crop failure in environmentally friendly shallot production. Environmentally friendly and conventional shallot farming were feasible with an R/C value of more than one. Although conventional shallot farming was more profitable, it occurred due to crop failure on environmentally friendly shallots farming.

Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is a novel and environmentally friendly cement that is a blend of OPC clinker, calcined clay, limestone, and gypsum. Concrete paving blocks for footpaths and roads are favorable because of their ease of installation and improved appearance with a smooth surface. The incorporation of LC3 into paver blocks improves their quality while simultaneously being environmentally friendly. The present investigation deals with the analysis of different sizes of concrete pavement blocks of the M30 grade. This study aimed to investigate the effects of using LC3 with sand and quartz aggregates at aspect ratios of 1.5, 2.43, and 3.25. The mechanical and durability properties studied include tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance. The strength parameters including the compressive strength and flexural strength of the paver blocks were determined to vary between 32.0-39.61 MPa and 5.5-8.6 MPa respectively. The tensile strength was in the lower range of 1.5-2.1 MPa. It was concluded that as the aspect ratio (length-to-thickness ratio of the pavers) was reduced, the strength attributes decreased. Thus, the incorporation of LC3 cement to develop paver blocks can be an environmentally friendly solution with a 40% reduction in CO2.

This study investigates land cover/land use (LULC) changes within the Panam River Watershed between 2011 and 2023. Leveraging freely available Landsat imagery and geospatial technologies like remote sensing and GIS, the research analyzes four LULC classes: settlement, waterbodies, agricultural land, and wasteland. A supervised classification approach using Support Vector Machines (SVM) within ArcGIS software is employed to detect land cover for both years. The analysis reveals significant changes over the twelve-year period. Settlements and wastelands experienced increases of 2.3% and 9%, respectively. Conversely, waterbodies and agricultural land exhibited declines of 1.95% and 9.38%, respectively. The observed increase in settlements and wastelands, coupled with the decrease in waterbodies and agricultural land, raises concerns about potential environmental within the Panam River Watershed and raise important considerations for sustainable land management practices.

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is a fundamental component in concrete production, influencing the performance and durability of structures. The various properties are essential for engineers, contractors, and construction professionals in selecting the most suitable OPC for specific applications, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of concrete structures. Therefore, the objective of this research was to assess how variations in chemical composition and fineness of OPC cement can affect key properties such as compressive strength, setting time, workability, etc. In this study, the investigation focuses on assessing variations in different key attributes such as setting time, fineness, physio-mechanical and microstructural properties of mortar produced using 04 different kinds of OPC samples and compared with standards. Test results show that fineness (>2250 cm2/gm), consistency (25-27%), soundness (1-2 mm), and compressive strength (40-55 MPa at 28 days) were obtained. Most of the OPC samples met the criteria of IS 8112:2013. Microstructural analysis using SEM showed that C-S-H and Ca(OH)2 at 28 days curing period are majorly observed in cement mortar.

Published: November 2024

This study presents heavy metal levels, including cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) in groundwater in the Hindon River basin, a region of high agricultural and industrial activity. These parameters were analyzed over different seasons, i.e. summer (April to June), Monsoon (July to September) and winter (October to December) during 2023. The results of this analysis are crucial for understanding the current state of groundwater quality in the Hindon River basin. Water samples were collected from the different sampling stations, strategically distributed across the Hindon River basin, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the water quality in the region. Sampling was conducted thrice at each sampling point across different seasons. The stations encompass Sampling Site C (comprising sampling points C1 to C10). The Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI) was employed to evaluate water quality at specified sites. Mean HPI values were 132.05 in summer, 97.48 in the monsoon season, and 114.24 in winter. The average HPI suggests extreme contamination levels throughout the study area in all seasons. The correlation coefficient provides valuable insights into the complex relationships between different heavy metals in groundwater, supporting the assessment and understanding of sources of heavy metal pollution. The research findings underscore the situation's urgency, indicating that the water was unsafe for consumption without appropriate treatment. This highlights the critical need for ongoing groundwater monitoring to address heavy metal contamination, urging stakeholders to take immediate action.
