DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF KNOWLEDGE AND AVAILABILITY OF LOCAL LEVEL OF EAST NUSA TENGGARA IN THE MIDDLE OF CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH EDUCATION IN KUPANG VOCATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL
Authors: Trigutomo Wahyu Hadi
Published: March 2018

Nowadays, the availability of national food cannot accommodate all the food needs of nation’s people, especially in each region. This current issue is caused by the absence of an effective arrangement, the absence of synchronization among state institutions, especially among the agricultural, trade and housing agencies, and the presence of an extreme climate change currently. In addition, the issues of the regeneration of farmers that have not shown any continuity that had been cut off among the younger generations led to the changes in the pattern of community life in the region. Therefore, based on the aforesaid issues, this paper aims at finding out on how the strategy and policy of food development in the local food availability in the midst of climate change today can be overcome by changing the mindset of consumptive to productive young generation through agricultural education, utilization of empty land which is available for planting food crops, empowerment of farmer groups, socialization of the local food potentials in East Nusa Tenggara. As a result, the food security can be realized and the region cannot be dependent its food needs on the other regions. Therefore, the writer attempts to formulate the strategy of food security developments from education aspects through the Dick & Carey development strategy. Food is an important and strategic commodity for the region because food is the basic human need that must be provided collectively by the government and society as mandated by the Acts No. 7 of 1996 on food. With respect to the Acts No. 7 of 1996 on food, it is stated that the Government organizes the regulation, guidance, control and supervision of the community, and organizes the process of production and supply, trade, distribution and in the same time, the Government also serves as a consumer that is entitled to adequate food, in terms of quantity and quality, safety, nutrition, variety, equity, and affordability by all society. The availability of national food can be fully fulfilled if it is commenced from the food sufficiency in the levels of family. In regard to the local area, it is marked by the existence of food consumption which can fulfill the sufficiency of every individual, in terms of balanced nutrition. In fact, it then has an impact on sufficiency of food and the nutrition status of Indonesian society can be fulfilled locally, especially in East Nusa Tenggara.

Published: March 2018

Bu çalışmanın amacı, fidanlık koşullarında yetiştirme sıklığının 2+0 yaşlı Toros sediri (Cedrus libani) fidanlarının bazı morfolojik özellikleri ile beslenme durumu üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmada, Isparta-Kapıdağ orijinli tohumlar kullanılmıştır. Eskişehir Orman Fidanlığı’nda 1,2 m genişliğindeki yüksek yastıklara, 15 cm aralıklarla oluşturulan 7 ekim çizgisinde, kontrol ( ̴ 1,5); 2,5; 5,0; 7,5; 10,0 cm mesafe ile yetiştirilen fidanların bazı morfolojik özellikleri ile ibre, gövde ve kök besin elementi içerikleri belirlenmiştir. Denemede rastlantı parselleri deneme deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler varyans analizi, Duncan testi ve korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yetiştirme sıklığı fidan boyu (FB), kök boğazı çapı (KBÇ), FB/KBÇ oranı, sak taze ağırlığı, kök taze ağırlığı, fidan taze ağırlığı, sak kuru ağırlığı (SKA), kök kuru ağırlığı (KKA), fidan kuru ağırlığı (FKA), SKA/KKA oranı ve kök yüzdesini (KKA/FKA oranı) önemli derecede etkilemiştir. İncelenen fidan morfolojik özellikleri arasında önemli ilişkiler belirlenmiştir. Fidanların sahip olduğu toplam N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu ve Mn içeriği bakımından yetiştirme sıklıkları arasındaki farklılıklar önemli (P<0,001) bulunmuştur. Yetiştirme sıklığı azaldıkça fidanların toplam besin elementi içeriği artmıştır. Farklı sıklık derecelerinde yetiştirilen fidanların topraktan kaldırdığı besin stokları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar belirlenmiş, sıklığının azalması ile fidanların birim alandan kaldırdığı besin stokları azalmıştır. Bütün bulgular birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, kurak-yarı kurak alan ağaçlandırmalarında fidanlıkta 2,5 cm mesafeyle (232 fidan/m2); yarı nemli-nemli alan ağaçlandırmalarında ise 7,5 cm mesafeyle (77 fidan/m2) fidan yetiştirmenin uygun olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Mediaciones generizadas en la formación docente en Letras

Published: March 2018

En este artículo nos interesa presentar avances de una investigación en curso en la que indagamos en torno a las tensiones y sentidos en disputa en relación con el abordaje de género en la formación del profesorado en Letras universitario. Con el objetivo de problematizar e interpretar esas tensiones y sentidos analizamos una mediación docente en contexto en tanto puesta en juego que busca visibilizar y problematizar con estudiantes los estereotipos de género a partir de los emergentes que surgen en una clase de Literatura en una escuela secundaria como así también el interés de la docente en legitimar las voces de las estudiantes que, en el aula, estaban relegadas a una posición subalterna respecto de la hegemonía masculina (Molina Petit, 1994). Para ello consideramos incidentes críticos (Perrenoud, 1995) presentes en autorregistros realizados por una profesora en formación durante la residencia docente, relevados en la investigación en curso. Asimismo, indagaremos cómo en la intervención en el contexto se producen tensiones entre las corporalidades de los/as estudiantes –en tanto cuerpos festivos (Diez, 2012)– y el cuerpo de la profesora en tanto corporalidad replegada sobre sí misma y, asimismo, sus relaciones con la vergüenza e incomodidad fruto de la autopercepción de la docente como sujeto sexuado.
Alfabetización en la comunidad rural de América Latina: las niñas en la escuela
Authors: Chireac Silvia Maria , Francis Norbert
Published: March 2018

El siguiente informe analiza los resultados de tres estudios de caso en dos escuelas rurales de México y una de Ecuador. Comparamos los índices de paridad de género (IPG) fijando el análisis en dos dimensiones: la inscripción/asistencia y el desempeño en la alfabetización. Los resultados generaron una hipótesis tentativa que sugiere un marco conceptual para una propuesta de investigación más amplia. Proponemos, con base en la evidencia de estudios previos de un importante avance en el IPG en la región latinoamericana, la evaluación del aprovechamiento escolar en la lectoescritura en escuelas primarias rurales que enfoca la comparación entre niños y niñas. Retomando como modelo los procedimientos de los tres estudios de caso del presente informe, los objetivos de la evaluación independiente serían: (1) comprobar o rechazar el estimado oficial de la paridad (100/100) en el acceso a la primaria en las zonas rurales, y (2) comprobar o rechazar la hipótesis que ha surgido de los tres estudios preliminares – que para las niñas, una vez matriculadas, el desempeño verificable (por medio de una prueba de comprensión de lectura) resulta estadísticamente equivalente, o superior, en comparación con el desempeño de los niños, hasta en las comunidades apartadas y de escasos recursos materiales.

Published: March 2018

En este artículo se presenta una síntesis de los primeros resultados de una investigación más amplia, dirigida a la búsqueda de información a partir de las historias de vida de cuatro mujeres gitanas. Su propósito es indagar en los factores que han intervenido en el éxito y vidas académicas prolongadas de estas mujeres, hasta concluir estudios universitarios o estar actualmente cursándolos. Se ha prestado atención al significado de sus experiencias en la construcción de sus proyectos de vida y el sentido que le dan al éxito educativo. Como camino para la búsqueda de información he utilizado una metodología narrativa, optando por las historias de vida, a partir de un contexto conversacional donde las entrevistas se han entendido como un espacio para la escucha activa. A partir de estas historias de vida se gesta este documento, tomando fragmentos de las mismas para abordar las dimensiones de análisis, ahondando en la importancia del apoyo y acompañamiento a lo largo de sus trayectorias por parte de la familia y de docentes, para acercarnos y acoger la experiencias educativas de éxito y continuidad de estas cuatro mujeres universitarias, distintas entre ellas pero con un punto de partida común: el ser mujeres, ser gitanas y dotar de significado e importancia a la vida académica.
Género y educación: detección de situaciones de desigualdad de género en contextos educativos
Authors: Pinedo González Ruth , Arroyo González María José , Berzosa Ramos Ignacio
Published: March 2018

En esta investigación se analiza si las y los futuros docentes son capaces de detectar situaciones ejemplares de desigualdad y de violencia simbólica en base al género en contextos educativos. Para ello hemos planteado una investigación cualitativa, a partir de un cuestionario y grupos de discusión, que nos ayudarán a alcanzar los objetivos de nuestro trabajo. La muestra está formada por alumnado del Grado de Maestro Educación Infantil y Primaria. El cuestionario contenía situaciones-problema que pueden surgir en los centros educativos y planteaban situaciones ejemplares de desigualdad y violencia simbólica en base al género. En cuanto a los resultados obtenidos, vemos en primer lugar, cómo el alumnado tiene dificultades para detectar la existencia de desigualdades encubiertas en las situaciones planteadas, no siendo así en aquellas más obvias. Creemos necesario plantear estrategias de formación en los futuros docentes, que profundicen en la comprensión de los factores y mecanismos que generan estas desigualdades.

Authors: Garg Ravi , Masand Rupesh , Verma Chaman Ram , Sharma Girdhari Lal , Yadav Suman Ankit
Published: March 2018

Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is commonly encountered entity in neonates delivered in rural health centres.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in 50 consecutive cases of MAS who were admitted in Level III NICU of the Department of Pediatrics of a tertiary care teaching hospital located 50 kms from Jaipur city amidst rural surroundings from 1st January 2016 to 31st July 2017. Appropriate statistical analysis was carried out using Medcalc statistical software (version 16.4).Results: Out of 3585 deliveries, prevalence of MSAF and MAS was 14% and 8.5% respectively. The M:F ratio of study subjects was 1.2:1.The maternal risk factors significantly associated with MAS were maternal anemia (p value-<0.001), maternal age >30 (p value-0.025) and unbooked pregnancies (p value-0.032). The mean birth weight was 2734±499gms. Majority of cases of MAS were seen in babies with birth weight between 2.5-3.5 kg (n=30, 60%).The mean gestational age was 38.6±2.4 weeks. 30 (60%) babies were delivered after completing 37-<40 weeks of gestation and 9 (18%) babies were of 40-<42 weeks of gestation. The common complications observed were exaggerated physiological hyperbilirubinemia (75%), birth asphyxia (50%) and septicaemia (27.08%). The commonest cause of mortality was birth asphyxia (57.14%) and pneumonia (42.8%).Conclusions: MAS is a cause of concern for the attending obstetrician and pediatrician as it is associated with life threatening complications and mortality. Efforts need to be invested in promotion of institutional antenatal care and institutional deliveries so that maternal risk factors can be identified and managed effectively, especially in rural areas.
Los impresos poblanos efímeros. Una mirada a “Tertulia de pulquería”, de José A. Arrieta, 1851
Authors: Rojas Rendón María José Patricia
Published: March 2018

La pintura con escenas costumbristas realizada por José Agustín Arrieta no se limitó a mostrar una mirada documental. “Tertulia de pulquería” se presenta como ejemplo de una construcción visual, que abre la posibilidad de ser entendida a través del proceso habitual de mirar a “la clase peligrosa”. El presente artículo analizará el cuadro de Arrieta a partir de un recurso significativo: la prensa efímera e “inmoral” poblana de 1851 –representada en el cuadro- y la forma en que se vinculó con el sector “peligroso”. El trabajo propondrá una lectura política y social de “Tertulia de pulquería” que permita conocer las circunstancias donde el pintor ejecutó la obra. Las hojas impresas representadas son elementos fundamentales que proponen una visión negativa en la que el artista tomó distancia y denunció un malestar vivido en el año 1851 en Puebla. Este estudio pone énfasis en la importancia de la búsqueda y el análisis de las fuentes primarias obtenidas en los archivos y hemerotecas locales.
Influencia del fenómeno de oscilación cuasi-bienal en las afluencias del sistema sur de abastecimiento de Bogotá
Authors: Aguirre-Cárdenas Angie Daniela , Almanza-Velasco Sebastian , Ivanova Yulia
Published: March 2018

Colombia es uno de los países cuyo régimen hidrológico se encuentra altamente influenciado por diferentes fenómenos macro climáticos. Se ha demostrado que el fenómeno ENSO en algunas regiones del país afecta en un 30% la escorrentía superficial, esto repercute directamente en las actividades de los sectores sociales, económicos y en las condiciones ambientales de estas zonas. Existen otros fenómenos cuya incidencia sobre la variabilidad hidrológica no se ha estudiado a profundidad, uno de estos es el evento de la Oscilación Cuasi Bienal (OCB). En este estudio se examinó la influencia de este fenómeno sobre las afluencias del sistema de abastecimiento hídrico sur de Bogotá, conformado por los embalses Chisacá y la Regadera, cuya importancia radica en permitir el abastecimiento de agua potable para los habitantes de localidad de Usme, en la cual residen 250.000 personas aproximadamente. Haciendo uso de series de caudales promedios mensuales de estaciones ubicadas aguas arriba de los embalses estudiados y del índice histórico de OCB a 50 hPa, se diseñó una metodología basada en el análisis correlativo entre las afluencias mensuales a los embalses y el índice macro climático que caracteriza el fenómeno OCB, y se demostró que este fenómeno se manifiesta con un retardo de 11 a 12 meses en la zona de estudio y que el régimen hídrico en un 10 a 14 % depende de la aparición de este evento climático. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la variabilidad hidrológica en la zona del estudio no solo depende del fenómeno del ENSO sino también de la OCB, aunque un menor grado, y debe ser tenida en cuenta en los estudios de la variabilidad hidrológica y modelos predictivos de los fenómenos macroclimáticos debido a su relevancia sobre las actividades productivas dependientes del agua.
Information Economic Man Assumption: Concept Definition and Comparison
Authors: Zhang Min , Chi Zhenggang , Luo Jing
Published: March 2018

Social norm, an important and coordinating part in economic activities, can greatly reduce the information demand that economic decisions require. The assumption of “Rational Man”, which exists in the western mainstream economics, is based on the simplified model of the instinct of human beings. And this thoroughly ignores the social attribute of human beings. In the literature review, the assumption of “Rational Man” is analyzed as an abstract and deductive way based on the western culture of Christianity. This theory can better explain the economic behaviors of human beings under the specific social circumstance of the protestant ethic. However, its rationality cannot be guaranteed without such cultural background. Besides, under the eastern social circumstance dominated by Confucianism, the assumption of “Rational Man” can also bring prominent ethical conflicts. The assumption of “Information Economic Man” put forward by this thesis gives consideration both to the individual rationality and social features an economic man possesses, and better explains the impact of social norm on economic decisions. By bringing into the capital vector, and drawing on field theory, the model of “information field” is generated. It can provide economic man with a concise math model that affects the process of decision making. The size and direction of capital vector represent respectively the influence of economic factors and moral factors on economic decisions. And thus a wider range of economic behavior of human beings can be analyzed in a rational way.

Authors: Wang Yuyan , Yu Zhaoqing
Published: March 2018

The E-supply chain is formed gradually along with the development of network, which is getting more attention among enterprises with unique advantages. Three E-supply chain operation modes are constructed in this paper, then the optimal pricing and advertising strategies under those modes are studied and compared, which are demonstrated with numerical examples. The results of comparison and analysis show that: Selling price, network platform service level, advertising investment and the profits of manufacturer, network platform and E-supply chain all increase with advertising effectiveness of stimulating demand growth. Under centralized decision-making mode, service level is highest, advertising investment is largest and the profit of E-supply chain is highest as well. When manufacturer leads decentralized decision-making mode, not only network service level, advertising investment and the profit of manufacturer can gain better results, but also profit of network platform can be higher while the advertisement effect of increasing demand is big enough. Additionally, it is confirmed that centralized decision-making is better than decentralized decision-making for system operation. Besides, decentralized decision-making mode led by manufacturer is superior to it led by network platform on the condition that advertisement effect is obvious.

Published: March 2018

English
Based on typical agro-ecology and socio-economy conditions, Indonesian agriculture needs agricultural tools and machinery support with certain characteristics. The government has provided agricultural tools and machinery, especially in the last three years, although its success is limited. This paper is a scientific review discussing needs of agricultural tools and machinery for agricultural development, its implementation, and efforts to achieve effectiveness. Materials are compiled from various sources, both documentation of development planning, program reports, as well as the results of critical evaluation and analysis of various research results. The results show that development of agricultural tools and machinery in Indonesia requires a good mapping with respect to the needs and availability, as well as institutional efforts to increase its effectiveness. Use of agricultural tools and machinery can reduce farming costs and provide benefits for farmers and it contributes to food self-sufficiency. Agriculture mechanization has a good prospect if it is preceded by a mapping of needs and availability as well as an adequate institutional environment. Consequently, farm costs become lower and farming efficiency will improve.

Swasembada Beras Berkelanjutan: Dilema antara Stabilisasi Harga dan Distribusi Pendapatan
Authors: Nuryanti Sri
Published: March 2018

Like other Asian countries, Indonesia tries to achieve rice self-sufficiency. To improve farmers’ competitiveness through agricultural investment and infrastructure, the government intervenes the rice market through subsidies, tariff import, and other support mechanisms for domestic producers. These interventions aims to improve farmers’ welfare and to maintain retail price. Rice is a staple food and it also has social and economic roles. Furthermore, rice is a political good. Rice self-sufficiency makes the country look improved and developed.  The government takes measures to achieve rice self-sufficiency. The study aims to review rice policy implementation along with the self-sufficiency achievement by elaborating policy intervention and its implication in the market. Results of the study showed that involvement of state-owned companies in rice market could minimize market failure, but it encouraged an oligopolistic market structure and biased rice policy toward certain interest group. Shifting orientation of rice policy from price stabilization to income distribution might encourage a better rice market toward sustainable rice self-sufficiency.

 

Abstrak

Indonesia hendak mencapai swasembada pangan khususnya beras sebagaimana negara Asia yang lain. Dalam rangka mendorong daya saing petani melalui investasi dan infrastruktur pertanian, pemerintah melakukan intervensi pasar beras melalui beragam subsidi, tarif, dan mekanisme bantuan lain untuk produsen domestik.  Intervensi ini pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan produsen dan menjaga stabilitas harga di tingkat konsumen. Beras tidak saja berperan sebagai bahan makanan semata, melainkan juga mempunyai peran sosial dan ekonomi di dalam masyarakat. Peran tersebut membuat beras jauh lebih penting dibandingkan bahan pangan yang lain. Keyakinan bahwa dengan swasembada beras membuat negara tampak unggul dan maju. Oleh karena itu, berbagai kebijakan beras diimplementasikan guna mencapai target swasembada. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji ulang implementasi kebijakan perberasan dalam rangka pencapaian swasembada dengan menelaah intervensi kebijakan beserta implikasinya terhadap pasar. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan Badan Usaha Milik Negara di dalam pasar beras dapat mengurangi kegagalan pasar, meskipun keberadaannya membuat struktur pasar cenderung oligopolistik dan kebijakan beras menjadi bias kepada kelompok kepentingan tertentu. Pergeseran orientasi kebijakan beras dari stabilisasi harga ke distribusi pendapatan memungkinkan ke arah pasar beras yang lebih baik menuju swasembada beras yang berkelanjutan.
Kebijakan Harga Beras Ditinjau dari Dimensi Penentu Harga
Authors: Hermanto NFN , Saptana NFN
Published: March 2018

Rice is a staple food for most of Indonesian and becoming a quasi-public commodity. The government of Indonesia is implementing rice price policies in achieving domestic rice price stability. Floor price policy aims at protecting farm-gate price, while ceiling price aims at protecting price at consumers’ level. This paper aims to discuss a conceptual review of rice price policies. The current rice price policies lead to policies that take into account some dimensions of the determining factors, namely the dimensions of products, varieties, qualities, and levels in marketing chain. Existing rice price policies were governed by the segmented regulations. A comprehensive rice price policy is required to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the policies. It is necessary to formulate a policy capable of harmonizing the relationship between producer farmers, processing industries, marketing institutions, and consumers in a supply chain system. 

 

Abstrak

Beras merupakan bahan pangan pokok bagi sebagian besar penduduk Indonesia, sehingga beras merupakan komoditas kuasi publik yang memiliki nilai strategis, baik dari aspek ekonomi, lingkungan hidup, sosial, dan politik. Dalam upaya mewujudkan stabilitas harga gabah/beras, pemerintah menerapkan kebijakan harga dasar dan harga maksimum. Harga dasar ditujukan untuk melindungi petani sebagai produsen dari jatuhnya harga gabah saat panen raya, sedangkan harga maksimum ditujukan untuk melindungi konsumen terutama dari lonjakan harga saat musim paceklik. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk membahas tinjauan konseptual kebijakan harga gabah/beras kaitannya dengan beberapa dimensi penentu harga gabah/beras. Kebijakan harga gabah/beras pada saat ini sudah mengarah pada kebijakan harga yang memperhatikan dimensi perbedaan bentuk, jenis, kualitas, dan tingkatan dalam rantai pasar, namun belum memperhatikan dimensi musim panen. Kebijakan harga tersebut juga masih diatur dalam peraturan dan perundangan yang terpisah pisah. Dalam rangka meningkatkan efisiensi dan efektifitas di dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan stabilisasi harga beras diperlukan kebijakan harga gabah/beras yang komprehensif. Untuk itu perlu dirumuskan suatu kebijakan yang mampu melakukan harmonisasi hubungan antara petani produsen, industri pengolahan, lembaga pemasaran, hingga ke tingkat konsumen dalam suatu rantai pasok dan rantai nilai tambah yang efisien dan memberikan keuntungan yang wajar bagi masing-masing pihak. 
Urgensi Komunikasi dalam Kelompok Kecil untuk Mempercepat Proses Adopsi Teknologi Pertanian

Adoption process of effective agricultural technology innovation requires various forms and channels of communication between users. Personal communication between individuals and communication in small groups (farmers’ group) are two forms of communication that has been used as a mainstay in agricultural extension activities. Personal communication usually occurs horizontally between farmers, and vertically between farmers and agricultural extension officers. Personal communication between farmers can take place outside and also within farmers’ groups. This paper is a review of various theories and research results regarding the importance of communication in small groups. The results showed that communication in small groups becomes an important component in delivering information materials, i.e. technology and other information. In the group, in addition to ongoing communication, it is also a place of performing discussion and learning among peasants, as well as a unit of decision for unity of action in adopting technology.

Proses adopsi inovasi teknologi pertanian yang efektif membutuhkan beragam bentuk dan saluran komunikasi antar pelakunya. Komunikasi personal antar individu serta komunikasi dalam kelompok kecil (kelompok tani) merupakan dua bentuk komunikasi yang selama ini dijadikan sebagai andalan dalam kegiatan penyuluhan pertanian. Komunikasi personal biasanya terjadi secara horizontal antar petani, dan secara vertikal antar petani dengan petugas penyuluh pertanian. Komunikasi personal antar petani dapat berlangsung di luar dan juga di dalam kelompok tani. Tulisan ini merupakan review ilmiah dari berbagai teori dan hasil-hasil penelitian berkenaan dengan pentingnya peran komunikasi dalam kelompok kecil. Hasil telaahan menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi dalam kelompok kecil menjadi komponen penting dalam menyampaikan materi informasi baik berupa teknologi maupun informasi lain. Di dalam kelompok, selain berlangsung komunikasi juga sekaligus menjadi tempat diskusi dan belajar antar sesama petani, di samping sebagai unit keputusan untuk kesatuan tindakan dalam mengadopsi teknologi.

Poverty is an all-time problem. The process of inheritance of poverty from generation to generation will continue if there is no breakthrough to alleviate poverty. This literature study aims to determine the role of human resource development, strengthening of farmers’ business and agricultural innovation in poverty alleviation. Although poverty in Indonesia has decreased significantly, the data showed that the number of poor people is still concentrated in rural areas. The development of human resources and the strengthening of farmers' business institutions, therefore, become medium-term and long-term strategic efforts for poverty alleviation in rural areas. Challenges to sustainable agricultural production in the future will require combined efforts of technological and innovation development, improvement of agricultural policies, and strengthening of agricultural institutions. Agricultural research and development should be focused on enhancing sustainable production.

Kemiskinan merupakan masalah sepanjang masa, karena kemiskinan dapat diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya. Proses pewarisan kemiskinan dari generasi ke generasi akan terus berlangsung jika tidak ada terobosan untuk mengentaskan seseorang dari masalah kemiskinan. Kajian pustaka ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM), penguatan usaha petani dan inovasi pertanian dalam pengentasan kemiskinan di perdesaan. Walaupun kemiskinan di Indonesia telah mengalami penurunan, tetapi data menunjukkan bahwa penduduk miskin masih terkonsentrasi di wilayah perdesaan. Sebagian besar penduduk miskin di perdesaan berpendidikan rendah, dan menguasai lahan yang sempit, maka pengembangan SDM dan penguatan kelembagaan usaha petani merupakan upaya strategis jangka menengah dan jangka panjang untuk pengentasan kemiskinan di perdesaan. Karena tantangan terhadap pembangunan pertanian di masa depan akan lebih kompleks, maka perlu untuk mengupayakan perpaduan antara pengembangan teknologi dan inovasi pertanian, penyempurnaan kebijakan pertanian, serta penguatan kelembagaan pertanian guna meningkatkan pendapatan dan kesejahteraan petani di perdesaan. Penelitian dan pengembangan pertanian sebagai penghasil teknologi baru dan inovasi pertanian hendaknya terfokus pada peningkatkan produksi secara berkelanjutan. 
Comments: Mexico Moves Forward

Editor's column

Later this month, Mexico will auction off 35 shallow-water blocks in the Gulf of Mexico, as its attempt to revive its oil and gas industry moves forward. It will be the ninth auction held under a reform program that began 4 years ago, and will follow the most successful auction to date. The 31 January deepwater auction surpassed expectations, drawing participation from supermajors and national oil companies (see page 42).

Along with Argentina, Mexico has emerged as one of the upstream bright spots in Latin America. At the January auction, Mexican regulatory officials expected only 7–10 blocks to be awarded. But the event attracted bids from 11 different firms as 19 blocks were awarded, nine of those to Shell. Although the deepwater auction is thought to have the most valuable acreage, future tenders may also attract heavy interest. Last year, a consortium led by Talos Energy discovered as much as 2 billion bbl in place at its shallow-water Zama-1 well in the Sureste Basin. And Eni found as much as 1 billion bbl at the shallow-water Amoca field; startup is expected early next year, which would make Eni the first foreign company to produce hydrocarbons in Mexico in 80 years.

Mexico’s decision to open its oil and gas sector to foreign investment could not have come at a worse time, months before oil prices abruptly declined and operators sharply cut spending. But, after weathering the early bid rounds, which attracted only light participation, Mexico appears on a roll. In addition to the March shallow-water bidding, 37 onshore blocks will be tendered in July, and there are plans of auctioning the first unconventional acreage, located near the Texas border, before the end of this year. The July blocks are located in northeastern and southeastern Mexico, covering 3,668 sq. miles and prospects of reserves for 260 million BOE of light crude and gas. The unconventional blocks are concentrated in the Tampico-Misantla and Burgos basins, south of the prolific Eagle Ford acreage in south Texas. The Mexican government previously announced auctions for unconventional acreage twice, but the first two events were canceled because of questions surrounding the potential regulation of hydraulic fracturing.

The money from the bidding and the prospects of increased production are welcome news for Mexico. State oil company Pemex has been heavily strapped for cash, deterring advancement in deepwater and unconventional plays. Mexico’s oil production peaked in 2004 at 3.38 million B/D and has since fallen to less than 2 million B/D.

The oil sector’s chief concern now is an upcoming presidential election. Leftist candidate Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador has a sizable lead in public opinion polls ahead of the July election, and has been a critic of the energy reforms. He has vowed to review all contracts that have been awarded during the recent bid rounds. Many political analysts believe that he could indeed slow the pace of reform but would have a difficult time turning back the clock to the days when only Pemex was allowed to invest in the upstream.
Oilfield Service Sector Sees Recovery Emerging
Authors: Parshall Joel
Published: March 2018

Following 3 harsh years of budget cuts and layoffs, oilfield services (OFS) companies are beginning to see a recovery take shape. The worst may also be over for heavy-asset suppliers and original equipment manufacturers in the offshore and subsea sector, but most industry analysts believe their recovery will be significantly slower.

The latest financial reports from big-three service companies Schlumberger; Halliburton; and Baker Hughes, a GE company; show an encouraging picture, with orders picking up and results from continuing operations improving.

Amid a growing global economy, demand for oil is increasing while market-balancing supply restrictions led by the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) are supporting the price of oil, which is at its highest level in 4 years. Oil industry capital investment is rebounding, and the shale-driven expansion in North America onshore operations keeps chugging along.

‘Path to Normalized Margins’

In announcing the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2017 results, Halliburton President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeff Miller said the company “is on the path to normalized margins in North America in 2018” and that the preceding year “marked another step on the road to recovery.”

Similarly, Schlumberger Chairman and CEO Paal Kibsgaard commented as the most recent results were released that “the oil market is now in balance, and the previous oversupply discount is gradually being replaced by a market tightness premium, which makes us increasingly positive on the global outlook for our business.”

The price of international-benchmark Brent crude oil briefly edged above $71 per bbl not long ago, while US-benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude has topped $66 per bbl. Nonetheless, concerns remain over the durability of the supply balance that has lifted the market.

‘Cautiously Optimistic’

“The phrase I would use is perhaps cautiously optimistic about 2018,” said Steve Robertson, head of research for global oilfield services at Westwood Global Energy Group.

The oil downturn, which took the per-bbl price of WTI from $107 in mid-2014 to $26 in early 2016, was as brutal as any the industry has seen and forced structural changes that have set the stage for a different type of recovery. Few industry observers believe that the price will return to a sustained $80 level anytime soon.

“The traditional view is that what goes down has to come up,” said industry adviser Hervé Wilczynski, a principal at EY (formerly Ernst & Young) in Houston. “There was a feeling that you hunker down for a few years and it’s going to come back up. So a lot of the cost reductions were not structural in nature.”
