The Roles of the Institution of Pesantren in the Development of Rural Society: A Study in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Mustari Muhamad
Published: November 2015

Pesantrens are the oldest non-formal and traditional Islamic educational institution in Indonesia. These boarding institutions are uniquely Indonesian phenomenon, not found in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a widespread misjudgment that the pesantrens are said to train terrorist groups, promote Islamic fanaticism, and propagate conservative culture. Hence, some of the pesantrens are changing their paradigm, that is, from conservatism to modern-progressivism, while some others prefer to remain the same. The purpose of this study was to make an in-depth systematic analysis of the roles and contributions of pesantrens in the development of rural villages in Java, particularly in Tasikmalaya district which by itself had 761 pesantrens. This study employed the multiple case-study method. The cases were three large pesantrens and three small pesantrens, all located in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. The pesantrens were in three categories: traditional, modern, and combination. Interview, observation, and document analysis were used to collect data. Face-to-face interviews were based on a standard check list developed for the study. The findings showed that pesantrens developed and implemented their own development plans, both for their own development and for rural development, as most pesantrens located in the rural areas.

Authors: Sarif Suhaili , Kamri Nor Azzah , Madun Azian
Published: November 2015

The development and advancement of zakat institution in Malaysia has been through time influenced by the changing social, political and economic situation of the country. An important phenomenon which shaped the institution is Islamic revivalism. Consequently, zakat has been one of the institutions which government keened to enhance. Another factor merits to be considered is the introduction of economic policies in which the government affirmatively inclined towards Malay Muslims enabling them to compete economically with other wealthier races. Within the spirit of the policies together with the direct influence by the emerging factors resulted from the revivalism phenomenon, the government has introduced corporatization of zakat institution, a modern way of zakat management. This article aims to survey the development of zakat in Malaysia which reflects the continuous process of Islamic revivalism in the nation. As we shall see throughout the discussion, the role of zakat institution has been through time expanded to be one of the national economic tools.
Zakat as an Instrument of Eradicating Poverty (Indonesian Case)
Authors: Athoillah Mohamad Anton
Published: November 2015

This paper describes more clearly about the charity as an instrument of poverty alleviation. Said to be more pronounced because zakat is not only described from the aspect of Islamic law, but also from the aspect of Islamic Economics. Starting from the idea of a content analysis of two professors of Economic Development, Prahalad and Yuyun Wirasasmita, this paper reveals the fundamental aspects of the causes of poverty, namely culture, alienation and exploitation. In this paper, the charity manages to pack in a comprehensive manner to a complementary instrument, whether Islamic law, and even Islamic Economics. Among the novelties in this paper is a substantive interpretation of zakat which is connected with the theory of economic development, compared with tax and economic-mathematical analysis to find a charity to further its position in the study of economics. As for other things that were outlined in this paper is the normative aspects of zakat, as where made explicit, as an instrument of poverty alleviation for various sectors, as seen from its usability goals.
Images of the West in Urban Indonesia: Muslims Negotiating the Western Path to Modernity
Authors: Nertz Melanie V.
Published: November 2015

Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism is unjustified. In fact, the political change after 1998 and the increasing influence of religion combined with an intensified process of globalization have led to socio-cultural vicissitudes inIndonesia beyond which we can only estimate what future patterns of orientation the population will have. Based on data from informal conversations, interviews and participant observation, it will be argued that, notwithstanding considerable variations, Muslim Indonesians uphold not solely negative but ambivalent images of the West and that in comparison with and opposition to the „Self‟ or „Own‟ the West is examined as one of many frames of reference by which modernity is negotiated and can be put into practice. Many interlocutors overcame the binary of East and West by envisioning that Indonesia could combine the advantages of both, the Own and the Foreign in order to step into a desirable future.

Authors: Mulyawan Setia
Published: November 2015

It is proved that financial ratios can predict future bankruptcy even on high uncertainty conditions such as an economic crisis. The research indicates that the accuracy of prediction is more increasing in line with a coming bankruptcy.The result of the research shows that four years before a corporate becomes bankrupt there have been significant differences of financial ratios between bankrupt company and sustained one. The ratios of liquidity, profitability, activity, and return on investment of sustained company are higher; while the leverage ratio is lower.The dominant influencing financial ratios toward a bankruptcy are liquidity and leverage ratios. The research finds that from ten tested ratios, Current Asset to current liabilities and total liabilities to total asset are the dominant financial ratios.
The Other Side of the Pulpit: Listener’s Experiences of Helpful Preaching
Authors: Hussey Ian
Published: November 2015

The Australian National Church Life Survey identifies churches where the preaching is reported as “very helpful to my life.” Six case studies of these churches were undertaken. Observation, interviews, focus groups, and a survey were used in each case to identify salient descriptors. A number of features common to all cases are discernible including, practicality, humor, passion, boldness, intellectual stimulation and a simple structure. However, the research also confirms that preaching is a highly contextual activity and that preachers need to adapt their style to their particular context. A continuum of helpful preaching styles related to context is developed.

On the Power of Small Size Insertion P Systems
Authors: Krassovitskiy Alexander
Published: November 2015

In this article we investigate insertion systems of small size in the framework of P systems. We consider P systems with insertion rules having one symbol context and we show that they have the computational power of context-free matrix grammars. If contexts of length two are permitted, then any recursively enumerable language can be generated. In both cases a squeezing mechanism, an inverse morphism, and a weak coding are applied to the output of the corresponding P systems. We also show that if no membranes are used then corresponding family is equal to the family of context-free languages.

A Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems
Authors: Li Jun-qing , Xie Sheng-xian , Pan Quan-ke , Wang Song
Published: November 2015

In this paper, we propose a hybrid Pareto-based artificial bee colony (HABC) algorithm for solving the multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem. In the hybrid algorithm, each food sources is represented by two vectors, i.e., the machine assignment vector and the operation scheduling vector. The artificial bee is divided into three groups, namely, employed bees, onlookers, and scouts bees. Furthermore, an external Pareto archive set is introduced to record non-dominated solutions found so far. To balance the exploration and exploitation capability of the algorithm, the scout bees in the hybrid algorithm are divided into two parts. The scout bees in one part perform randomly search in the predefined region while each scout bee in another part randomly select one non-dominated solution from the Pareto archive set. Experimental results on the well-known benchmark instances and comparisons with other recently published algorithms show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Impact of Poor Requirement Engineering in Software Outsourcing: A Study on Software Developers’ Experience
Authors: Perera Indika
Published: November 2015

The software Requirement Engineering (RE) is one of the most important and fundamental activities in the software life cycle. With the introduction of different software process paradigms, the Requirement Engineering appeared in different facets, yet remaining its significance without a doubt. The software development outsourcing is considered as a win-win situation for both developed and developing countries. High numbers of low paid, yet talented workforce in developing countries could be employed for software outsourcing projects with the demanding power of the outsourcer to decide the projects, their scope and priorities with the intention of profit maximization. This study was conducted to analyze the impact of poor Requirement Engineering in outsourced software projects from the developers’ context (sample size n = 57). It was identified that the present outsourcing scenario has created to have frequent requirement changes, shrunk design and stretched development phases, and frequent deliverables, which have to be accommodated by the software developer with extra effort and commitment beyond the project norms. The results reveal important issues and open policy level discussions while questioning our insights on the outsourcing benefits as a whole.
Environmental geotechnology: an Indian perspective
Authors: Rajesh Sathiyamoorthy , Hanumantha Rao Bendadi , Sreedeep Sekharan , Arnepalli Dali Naidu
Published: November 2015

Infrastructure development and industrialisation have led to an ever increasing demand for energy and tremendous generation of industrial and municipal solid wastes in India. With indiscriminate human encroachments, the impact of disasters such as rainfall-induced landslides, river/coastal erosion, flash floods and cloud bursts is quite high. In order to minimise the harmful impact of these issues, there needs to be development of sustainable optimal solutions, which are best suited to the regions concerned, employment of new construction materials like geosynthetics and state-of-the-art techniques. As such, in dealing with such problems that have direct bearing on geoenvironment, an interdisciplinary approach needs to be developed, which is the starting point of environmental geotechnology as ‘applied science to research and resolve’. In view of this, this paper discusses a few key geoenvironmental engineering issues and challenges pertaining to the Indian context.

With the proliferation of new data sources, opportunities also exist for better understanding of how people act and make decisions, as well as discerning the conditions in which they wish to live and what they expect from their surrounding environment. Following the recently proposed normative strand in urban planning, this study uses distributed personal underground development as a case study for extracting the values behind this emerging self-build movement, alongside observers’ opinions obtained from associated web-based data.
Hungarikumok területi jelentőségének vizsgálata, különös tekintettel a pálinkára
Authors: Káposzta József , Ritter Krisztián , Kassai Zsuzsanna
Published: November 2015

Az endogén forrásokra épülő gazdaságfejlesztés számos hazai kistérségben kitörési pontot jelenthet a hosszú távú fejlesztések terén. Ennek vizsgálatát a Magyar Értéktárban nyilvántartott négy eredetvédett pálinka – a békési szilva-, a gönci barack-, a kecskeméti barack- és a pannonhalmi törkölypálinka – területi hatásaira fókuszálva végeztük el. Szekunder adatgyűjtést követően 2014 tavaszán mélyinterjúkat készítettünk az érintett hungarikumok előállításában, gondozásában részt vevő személyekkel, turisztikai szolgáltatókkal és a helyi vidékfejlesztés fontosabb szereplőivel. A kutatási eredményeink igazolták, hogy a hungarikumok előállítása számos közvetlen és főleg közvetett haszonnal jár a vizsgált térségek társadalmára és gazdaságára, igaz, egyelőre még korlátozott mértékben. Hozzájárulnak többek között a helyben történő munkahelyteremtéshez és -megőrzéshez, a helyi vendéglátás és turizmus serkentéséhez, az alapanyag-előállítók és a szeszfőzdék bevételeinek, így a helyi adóbevételeknek a növekedéséhez. Emellett a kiváló minőségű termékek diverzifikációs lehetőséget nyújtanak a helyi gazdálkodók számára, továbbá a hungarikum védjegy hozzájárul a vizsgált térségek ismertségének növeléséhez is. Primer kutatásunk alapján a kérdéses pálinkák kiérdemelték a hungarikum védjegyet, hiszen sajátos endogén erőforrásokat jelentenek, amelyek bár korlátozottan, de minőségük révén az országimázs alakításához is hozzájárulnak. A kutatás arra is rávilágított, hogy nagyobb figyelmet kellene fordítani országosan is az endogén forrásokra alapozott kézműves termékek értékteremtésére, helyi gazdaságfejlesztési lehetőségeikre. Ehhez viszont további állami beavatkozásokra, például a törvényi szabályozás módosítására, célzott támogatásokra volna szükség. Fontos megállapításunk az is, hogy az általunk tanulmányozott hungarikumok egyáltalán nem vagy nem elég hangsúlyosan jelennek meg az érintett térségek fejlesztési stratégiáiban, terveiben. Ezért a 2014 és 2020 közötti időszakban véleményünk szerint nagyobb figyelmet kell fordítani ezen endogén erőforrások nemzeti és helyi fejlesztési stratégiákba való beépítésére.
Az áramellátás nagy átrendeződése és a területpolitika kihívásai
Authors: Fabók Márton
Published: November 2015

A vitacikk jelentősen átfogalmazza Csák László Energiapolitika: minden területi szinten című cikkének két alapállítását, nevezetesen az áramtermelés decentralizációját, valamint az energiapolitika és területpolika integrálását. Egyrészt, a jelenleg zajló folyamatok egyszerre mutatnak túl a megújuló energiák térnyerésének trendjén és kínálnak fel a decentralizációval ellentétes forgatókönyveket is. A villamosenergia- ellátás bő fél évszázados, alapvetően nemzetállami modellje kérdőjeleződik meg egyre látványosabban, beleértve a termelésen túl a szállítás és fogyasztás átalakulását is, például az infokommunikációs technológiák nyújtotta lehetőségeken keresztül. A kibontakozó átrendeződésnek központi kérdése a villamosáram-termelés és -felhasználás alapvető földrajzi mintázatainak átalakulása. Ennek azonban több forgatókönye is elképzelhető, beleértve egy erősen központosított, kibővített európai szuperhálózatot vagy a szinte háztartási szintű villamosenergia-rendszereket.Másrészt, az energiapolitika és területpolitika potenciális integrálása valóban kulcs az áramellátás helyi és regionális szintű decentralizációjához. A vitacikk ennek az integrációnak négy, egymást korántsem kizáró formáját különbözteti meg. Ezek: a városi áramellátás biztosítása önkormányzati közműcégeken keresztül; erőművek telepítése össszekapcsolva a térség gazdaságfejlesztésével; a multiszektorális átalakítások (pl. közlekedés- vagy lakáspolitikához kapcsolódva), valamint az energiapolitikát középpontba helyező újfajta településfejlesztés, legyen szó zéró emissziós high-tech városokról vagy ökokommunákról. Mindez jól mutatja, hogy az áramellátás átalakulása alapvető politikai kérdéseket is feszeget, nem csupán egy technológiai váltás.
Short Excursus into the History of the Russian Symbolism Origin
Authors: Vorova T.P. , Pidmogylna N.V. , Romanova O.I.
Published: November 2015

Being well-known nowadays as the Silver Age of Russian literature, Russian symbolism is an extraordinary phenomenon of spiritual life at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20thcenturies. This essay aims to study the appearance and development of Russian symbolism as a result of revaluation of cultural wealth in philosophy / art and stimulation of the appropriate rise of the certain aesthetic systems which were embodied in the literary works of that period. The current study introduces a new approach to the origin of this trend and represents the new tendencies in Russian symbolist novels which were beyond the artistic movements of that epoch. The sources of symbolist literature are traced in the principles of esoteric theory and its basic postulates. The results of the investigation and received conclusions are confirmed with the direct textual references from the novels of the writer who proves to be a forerunner of literature with bright mystical orientation.
Analysis Causes of the Incidence and Compare Social, Economic, Physical Characteristics of Informal Settlements, Case Study: City of Marivan in Kurdistan Province
Authors: Veisi Farzad
Published: November 2015

Informal settlements are one of the problems of urban management in developing countries. Various theories about the causes and management of these settlements have been proposed. The most important of these theories, new socialist, liberal and dependency can be noted. The theory that argues for mandatory clearing informal settlement is not logical. Empowerment approach to be interested by countries and international organizations, and successful examples of this approach, with emphasis on the internal dynamics of these communities has been experienced. This paper tries to analyze the causes of marginalization and social, economic and spatial characteristics of informal settlement of Marivan city in Kurdistan province. Research areas consist of 4 region of Marivan informal settlement (Kosar,tape Mosk , sardoshiha, Tefine) sample size based on Cochran formula is 320 samples that Randomly and in four districts have been selected. Reasons for residents that they living in such places and social, economic characteristics of marginalized communities collected and entered into SPSS software and have been analyzed. The results show that more than 50 percent of residents in informal settlement areas of the city have come to this neighborhood. The main factor in the development of these four areas is not rural migrants. The highest levels of rural migrants from the neighborhood Tefin are that only 47% of residents are immigrants. The results suggest the great differences in social, economic and physical characteristics of slums. Among neighborhoods communities tapa Mosk and Tefini in the index close to each other and compare to two other neighborhoods are poor.
Avestan Architecture: A Descriptive Etymological Lexicon
Authors: Hashemi Mahsa , Najari Hossein
Published: November 2015

The Avesta could be considered as the most important masterpiece of ancient literature of Iran and its older parts as the oldest belletristic exploits. The importance of Avesta is firstly in its religious value and its sanctity and secondly in the picture it draws for us of ancient Iran. On the other hand, architecture is the greatest aspect of art and a very old one. Not many people have analyzed or interpreted the ancient Iranian texts in the context of architecture. In this research, the focus was on viewing the ancient Architecture of Iran through the Avesta, which was definitely used for religious purposes at that time. There is no doubt that nowadays, centuries after the era of Avesta, there is a huge difference between our modern architecture and the Avestan architecture. The main goal of this research was making a descriptive and etymological lexicon on Avestan architecture. Therefore, firstly every single vocabulary was studied etymologically, discussed literary and also given one example of the use of it in the Avesta. Finally, the authors have reached the conclusion that the Ahuramazda versus Ahriman fight can even be traced in the ancient architecture of Iran and its architectural descriptions, which can be studied more in the future.
Geoquímica de sedimentos de fundo de drenagem em estuário tropical, Nordeste do Brasil
Authors: Silva Natália Micheli Tavares do Nascimento , Neto João Adauto de Souza , Silva Wanilson Luiz , Valença Lúcia Maria Mafra
Published: November 2015

o estuário do rio Formoso está localizado na porção sul do estado de Pernambuco estando inserido em uma Área de Proteção Ambiental, a APA de Guadalupe. Trata-se de um importante ecossistema costeiro com uma grande biodiversidade que desempenha uma im-portante função socioeconômica para a população local. Atividades antropogênicas como a carcinicultura, o cultivo de cana-de-açúcar e o crescimento urbano desordenado afetam a área. A fim de avaliar se há contaminação nesse estuário foram determinadas as concentra-ções de elementos químicos diversos (li, Be, mg, Al, K, v, Cr, Fe, mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, mo, Cd, Sb, Ba, Tl, Pb e Ca) nos sedimentos de fundo. Utilizou-se para as análi-ses a fração silte-argila (<63μm). A extração química foi realizada com HCl 0,5m e a deter-minação foi feita por iCP-mS. os dados produzidos indicam as concentrações susceptíveis à biodisponibilidade e foram comparados aos valores de referência das agências ambientais norte-americana e canadense e também com aqueles de outros estuários do nordeste brasi-leiro e mundial, além da composição média do folhelho na crosta terrestre. verificaram-se concentrações relativamente elevadas de As (2,4-20mg kg-1) que de acordo com o gráfico Eh-pH encontra-se no estado de valência As (v) (arseniato). As fontes para esse metalói-de podem ser as atividades antropogênicas (e.g. lixões). As concentrações de Fe (3.675-21.807mg kg-1) foram superiores aquelas encontradas nos estuários brasileiros e mundiais. Correlações do Zn, Cr e Pb com Fe, Al, mn e também com a matéria orgânica evidencia um provável controle da retenção destes metais por processos geoquímicos envolvendo reações com oxi-hidroxidos de Fe e mn, além da adsorção destes metais por argilominerais e tam-bém a formação de complexos organometálicos. Dessa forma, embora sendo considerado como um dos mais bem preservados do Estado de Pernambuco o Estuário do rio Formoso, de acordo com as concentrações de elementos químicos observadas, deve ser monitorado.

Caracterização de minerais pesados e avaliação da radioatividade natural em sedimentos praiais de Acaú, Carne de Vaca e Ponta de Pedras, litoral norte do estado de Pernambuco
Authors: França Patrícia Pereira de , Valença Lúcia Maria Mafra , Souza Neto João Adauto de
Published: November 2015

Os minerais pesados são assim denominados em razão de sua maior densidade em relação aos minerais comuns. O peso específico desses minerais é maior que dos feldspatos e do quartzo, cujos valores são de aproximadamente 2,6 g/cm3. São oriundos de rochas ígneas, metamórficas ou sedimentares e tendem a se concentrar nas praias em áreas de erosão. Este estudo tem por objetivo caracterizar os minerais pesados que se acumularam nos sedimentos praiais da área estuarina do Rio Goiana nos trechos ao sul (Carne de Vaca e Ponta de Pedras, Estado de Pernambuco) e ao norte (Acaú, Estado da Paraíba), bem como avaliar a radioatividade natural desses sedimentos, dado o fato que potencialmente alguns desses minerais possuem elementos radioativos. Os minerais pesados identificados (com percentual de abundância relativa) nas três praias foram Ilmenita, Zircão, Turmalina e Cianita. Outros ocorrem em determinas praias como o Epidoto em Ponta de Pedras e Rutilo em Carne de Vaca. Os valores da radioatividade natural medida in situ foram maiores em Ponta de Pedras chegando a medir 300-350 cps e o menores valores em Acaú. Do ponto de vista das fontes indicadas pelas assembleias de minerais pesados, pode se dizer que alguns dos minerais investigados são de origem ígnea e responsáveis pela radioatividade natural, como o Zircão e o Xenotímio já que esses apresentaram elementos como U e Th em sua composição.
Sobre el folklore en la actualidad y la pluralidad en la lectura
Authors: Díaz G. Viana Luis
Published: November 2015

Este trabajo presenta un análisis de la problemática relacionada con el estudio del folklore y la cultura popular en el mundo contemporáneo, transnacional e híbrido, aparentemente distinto de lo que se suponía era el objeto/sujeto de estudio tradicional. El autor argumenta que los diferentes modos de transmisión de la literatura, hoy, están determinando una pluralidad de la lectura que obliga, desde las aportaciones del estudio del folklore contemporáneo –como el de las llamadas “leyendas urbanas”–, a reconsiderar el propio concepto de lectura.

Published: November 2015

El presente artículo es el resultado del proyecto de investigación titulado “Valores y lectura. Alfabetización para una sociedad multicultural”, que, bajo la dirección de los doctores Pedro C. Cerrillo y Santiago Yubero, y con la financiación de Consejería de Ciencia y Tecnología de la Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, se llevó a cabo en el CEPLI entre 2003 y 2005. Con dicho proyecto se pretendía, entre otros objetivos, revisar los libros de Lengua del segundo ciclo de Primaria (es decir, de cuarto, quinto y sexto curso) con el fin de comprobar cómo se presentaban los valores a través de sus textos y sus paratextos. Con tal cometido, se llevó a cabo una consulta acerca de los manuales usados en los colegios de Cuenca, Albacete y Toledo. De tal consulta provino el corpus de la investigación, que se redujo a los libros de Lengua de las editoriales Anaya, Edelvives, Santillana y SM, que resultaron ser los más utilizados en las tres provincias. El artículo toma estos libros como materia de estudio, y supone un resumen de la investigación. Como tal, será simplificador e incompleto, pero esperamos que resulte lo suficientemente esclarecedor y definitorio en sus ideas y conclusiones como para que el lector se haga una idea de la investigación en su conjunto.

O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos ao acaso em esquema fatorial (3x2), com seis repetições, sendo cada parcela constituída de nove plantas, os fatores formaram as combinações de três formas de realização da enxertia pelo método de garfagem (fenda cheia, fenda lateral e fenda simples) e utilização e não do uso da proteção da enxertia com câmara úmida. Para produção das mudas dos portaenxertos e enxertos foram utilizadas sementes das cultivares FB 100 e redondo amarelo respectivamente. As enxertias foram realizadas aos 70 dias após a semeadura. Aos 21 dias após as enxertias foi avaliada a porcentagem de pegamento e a cada 14 dias após a enxertia avaliou-se a sobrevivência de plantas que permaneceram vivas, aos 56 dias avaliou-se o número de folhas, diâmetro do enxerto e portaenxerto, altura da planta e massa seca da parte aérea. Os tipos de enxertias por fenda cheia e fenda lateral, associadas ao uso da proteção com câmara úmida promoveram os melhores índices de pegamento e sobrevivência das mudas de maracujazeiro amarelo, porém o uso proteção promoveu um decréscimo no crescimento das plantas.

Seedling production of yellow passionfruit with different types of graft and use of humid chamber

Abstract: The objective at this search was to evaluate the combination of three forms of grafting by the grafting method and grafting using protection with damp in the production of passion fruit seedlings camera. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 3x2 factorial arrangement with six replications, each plot were nine plants, the factors formed the combinations of three embodiments by the grafting method (cleft, crack and lateral simple) and crack use and not use protection grafting with moist chamber. Seedlings rootstocks production and grafts seeds of cultivars were used respectively FB 100 and round yellow respectively. The grafts were performed at 70 days after sowing. At 21 days after grafting was evaluated the percentage of fruit set and every 14 days after grafting, we evaluated the plants survival that remained alive, at 56 days assessed the number of leaves, rootstock and graft diameter, plant height and dry weight of shoots. The types of grafts for full and side slit slit associated with the use of protective moist chamber provided better rates of survival and fixation of passion fruit seedlings, however, the use protection caused a decrease in plant growth.

No mundo atual, com o rápido desenvolvimento econômico-industrial, a demanda por energia constantemente alta e as principais fontes usadas para a obtenção da mesma, são fontes findáveis. Cientes desse cenário, muitos países e governos desenvolveram políticas visando sua independência, total ou parcial, dos combustíveis fósseis. Uma alternativa viável são os biocombustíveis. Gerados por fontes renováveis, eles podem ser encarados, a primeira vista como fontes inesgotáveis de energia. Além disso, são menos prejudiciais ao meio ambiente, por liberarem menor quantidade de gases poluentes na atmosfera. Apesar disso, muito ainda pode ser feito para melhorar esse cenário energético. Pesquisas e desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias estão sendo feitas em todo o mundo. O presente trabalho visa à análise do status atual e previsões futuras para os biocombustíveis, considerando-se diferentes partes do mundo, as políticas adotadas e o potencial geográfico de produção desses biocombustíveis.

El control de Micosphaerella fijiensis, requiere cada vez la aplicación de una mayor cantidad de fungicidas debido a la resistencia que este patógeno ha desarrollado. Se realizó una caracterización fenotípica de aislamientos de M. fijiensis en relación a su sensibilidad a los fungicidas piraclostrobin, epoxiconazol y tridemorf esperando complementar los métodos actuales de monitoreo de resistencia. A partir de tejido foliar sintomático recolectado desde 12 fincas bananeras de Colombia durante los años 2013 y 2014, se obtuvo aislamientos monospóricos a los que se les cuantificó la sensibilidad poblacional e individual. Posteriormente esta sensibilidad se comparó con los rasgos fenotípicos que cada aislamiento expresó. Los resultados indicaron que los rasgos asociados con una mayor sensibilidad a piraclostrobin se expresaron en un mayor número de individuos, además se observó la expresión de estos mismos rasgos como respuesta a epoxiconazol. Para tridemorf se observó un aparente dominio compartido entre individuos con rasgos asociados a baja y alta sensibilidad. Una caracterización fenotípica permitiría conocer si existe un mayor o menor número de individuos tolerantes a un ingrediente activo y poder definir de esta forma el momento adecuado para aplicar este ingrediente activo sin aumentar la presión de selección sobre estos individuos.

Sea cucumber (H.Scabra)is a species of marine biota providing high economicaland medical values. It has been hundreds years consumed for drug to cure various diseases in China. The aim of this research was to determine the level of the toxicity against brine shrimp larvae A.salina Leach in each dried sea cucumber (H.scabra) extract collected from Kenjeran Coast, Surabaya. The information would be beneficial for anticancer drug discovery .

The research was conducted by extracting samples using both ethanol and n-hexane solvents.The concentrated extract obtained then were used for the toxicity test against brine shrimp larvae of A.salina Leach (BSLT). The mortality data of A.salina Leach was analysed using probit analysis to determine the value of LC50 on each extract. The phytochemical assay and thin layer chromatography (TLC) was also apllied for both extracts.

The result showed that both ethanol and n-hexane exctracts performed toxicity level against brine shrimp larvae of A.salina Leach with LC50less than 1000 ppm.The n-hexane extract indicated LC50 of 189.093 ppm, higher than the ethanol extract, 286.031 ppm. The presence of steroids were detected in both extract whilst the alkaloids were only detected in the ethanol extract. Further separation of the n-hexane exctrat using TLC in n-hexane;ethyl acetate;amonia (66:33:0.8) yielded 5 spots with the Rf of 0.3;0.44;0.54;0.72 and 0.78, respectively.
