Published: April 2020

Environmental crisis is problems of human behavior. Humans mistakenly view nature and mistakenly place themselves in the context of the whole universe. Mistakes of the human perspective on nature stem from anthropocentric ethics. Excessive and irresponsible exploitation of natural resources is a manifestation of anthropocentric behavior. Human anthropocentric behavior portrayed creatively in the outdoor media in the school's internal public space. Some posters displayed in several schools in the Greater Malang region show strong symptoms of anthropocentric behavior. This qualitative study describes the results of linguistic landscape data to find the symbolic function of environmental crisis. The research data in the form of visual-verbal information and ecological ideas were taken from poster displayed in public spaces around the school at public and private Junior, Senior, and Vocational high school in Malang City, Indonesia. Data was collected using documentation (photography) and analyzed ethnographically. As a result, environmental education posters contain ideas about the environment, namely crisis, and conservatives. These two ideas simultaneously make confusion an ethical orientation. The intended ethical orientation is wise behavior in water use, waste management, and environmental sustainability. In addition to messages on waste handling and management and saving water, educational posters also convey crisis messages. As a follow-up, the findings of this study can be used in the curriculum at school so that poster material can become a learning medium.

Published: April 2020

The study aims to investigate the relationship between the investment portfolio and banking financial performance in Nigeria. The study took an ex post factor research design and firm was used as the unit of analysis. A population of the 15 commercial banks was taken but Skye Bank was screened out due to the unavailability of data and 14 banks were used as the sample for this study. Panel data analysis was used to analyze the data with E-views version 9 using the three models; without effect, random effect and fixed effect. The study reveals that investment in bond has a significant but negative effect on return on the asset while cash reserve had a positive but an insignificant effect on financial performance and treasury bills has a negative and an insignificant effect on financial performance. There is also a need for the management of investment companies to have a solid organization structure, as it will influence their investment portfolio choice, to avoid insignificant choices like treasury bills which do not impact on their financial performance. The research, therefore, recommends that the management of commercial banks should decrease their investment in bonds, cash reserve and treasury bills so as to avoid depleting the return on asset and consider investment in other portfolios like insurance, pension, forex and so on.

Authors: Susilo Donny 
Published: April 2020

Today, the domination of Chinese Indonesian entrepreneurs in Indonesia economy is not questionable. This research aims to understand the entrepreneurial culture of Chinese Indonesian entrepreneurs that are believed to be one of their success factors. This research used in-depth interview and successfully conducted interviews with 12 successful Chinese Indonesian entrepreneurs who understand about Chinese cultural values. The result revealed that some unique characteristics of their entrepreneurial culture differentiate themselves from other entrepreneurs such as believe in regeneration since childhood, it however brings positive impact to their children who already get used to the work environment before they finally become matured and independent. Chinese Indonesian entrepreneurs have a strong principle in cash management and love to have long term planning completed with the contingency plan. They cursed debt, it is perceived as a disgrace and it becomes the last option in looking for financial resources. The empathy between Chinese Indonesians is strong and especially because they believe that Chinese Indonesian has a competitive trait at trading, their business style is flexible and they still hold high value in respect for parents and teachers.

High blood pressure is one of the causes of mortality in Indonesia. Many Indonesians are smoker and has a coffee consumtion habit. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between smoking habits and coffee consumption on blood pressure of adult men in Kampung Mokla, West Bandung Regency. The method used in this study is a cross sectional method with a non-probability sample collection technique, namely convenience sampling. A total of 62 respondents participated in this study. More than half of respondents have the habit of smoking and consuming coffee. Most respondents are moderate smokers in terms of the number of cigarettes consumed per day. The type of filter cigarette consumed more than the type of clove cigarrete. The duration of smoking> 20 years has the highest number of respondents. Based on the level of coffee consumption most respondents classified as having a low and moderate consumption level. Whereas the duration of coffee drinking wa >10 years. About ¾ of respondents experienced an increase in blood pressure and even hypertension. Chi square test showed that there was a significant relationship between the number of cigarettes per day and the length of time drinking coffee with systolic blood pressure (p <.05). Increased blood pressure can be influenced by various factors, so that further research on risk factors in patients with hypertension with a larger sample size needs to be done.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the rapid detection of Salmonella in desiccated coconut (DC)
Authors: Jayaratne, D.L.  
Published: April 2020

This study was carried out to develop a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol for the detection of Salmonella in desiccated coconut (DC). For the PCR detection of Salmonella, genomic DNA was extracted using the ‘boiling lyses’ method and the reaction was carried out with Salmonella genus specific primers enabled to amplify 457bp sequence covering invA and invE genes. Samples of DC produced in mills already tested for Salmonella using conventional cultural methods gave identical results with the present PCR method indicating its suitability for adoption in routine testing.
The sensitivity checked using DNA extracted from artificially inoculated DC with serially diluted inoculum of Salmonella M1 type showed that the developed PCR method can be used to detect very low levels of contamination of Salmonella as low as 4 CFU/g in DC.
The method described here reduces the testing and detection time from 6 days to 24 hours ensuring exporters to obtain Salmonella test reports just prior to shipment.
Control of pink discoloration in coconut water
Authors: D. B. Masa  
Published: April 2020

The pink discoloration in coconut water is a result of the initial enzymatic action of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) on the phenolic substrates which are naturally present in the product. Activity of the enzyme is further enhanced by metal contamination such as copper and exposure of the product to high temperature during its processing and storage.
The optimum copper concentration to initiate pinking in coconut water was established at 3.96 x 10-04 mM. The PPO level was also shown to vary among coconut varieties and ages. When subjected to optimum conditions for enzymatic activity, the water from younger nuts (7-8 months old) went pink while mature nuts (9-10 months old) showed no discoloration. Application of food-grade resins to remove the phenolic substrates in coconut water was deemed as a possible solution to prevent the discoloration. Further testing in this area needs to be done.
Coconut Carbon Sequestration Part 2 / Strategies for the Carbon Market & Simulating Potential Incomes for Coconut CDM Projects
Authors: O. Roupsard  
Published: April 2020

The following article is a review of possible strategies of the coconut sector facing the carbon market, through the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Protocol of Kyoto, but also through Non-Kyoto (voluntary) initiatives. It sums up the conditions for certifying plantations, together with recent statistics of similar projects accepted by UNFCCC, which are currently displaying a rapid growth rate. It stresses the complexity of the CDM, but also the accessibility for coconut energy & afforestation + reforestation (A/R) projects, considering that coconut plantations do actually correspond to the definition of “forest”.
Using recent scientific information on C cycle of coconut plantations and coconut oil, it proposes also a simulation of the expected potential profitability of coconut energetic and A/R projects. From the point of view of the farmer and of the oil mill, in absence of any CDM project (the reference here), the value-added comes mainly from local processing of the copra into coconut oil. When implementing a short-term A/R project (t-CER), the value-added by C fixation in the ecosystem would be ca. +15 to +19%, as compared to the copra and oil references. When implementing a long-term project (l-CER), the value-added would reach +40 to +52%. When implementing an energy-oil project solely, the value-added by C fixation in the coconut oil would be only +5% (this not including other benefits at national scale, however). When implementing a dual A/R + energy-oil project, the value-added by C fixation would be +19% for t-CER, and +45% for l-CER with respect to the copra and oil references. These results are just potential values given for example, suspected to vary much according to the actual conditions of coconut plantation productivity, management and also C market conditions. However, the simulation clearly supports every APCC initiative in this direction.

Authors: Susan M. Rivera  , Flordeliza A. Lantican  
Published: April 2020

The dynamics in market level prices was examined for Philippine copra trading. The analysis of the price formation process in the copra miller-dealer-farmer markets showed that a weak form of market integration characterized the trading of copra resecada between dealers and millers in all Philippine regions. In contrast, integration of any form was absent between miller-farmer and dealer-farmer in all regions except in Region V. Likewise, no integration was noted in all market levels when dealers and millers used copra resecada price while farmers were given the copra corriente Pasa price. Important factors were identified that contributed to the level of market integration. Recommendations made encompass areas on coconut production and productivity, market infrastructure and facilities, and pricing system in copra trading.
Metal Coated Coir Fiber for Smart Textile Applications
Authors: U. S. Sarma  
Published: April 2020

Thermo regulated textiles attracted attention in cold countries for outdoor activities in extreme winter conditions. Temperature regulation of textiles for use in adverse environmental condition can be achieved by integrating heat regulated natural fibers into textile construction. Coir being an abundantly available, cheap and biodegradable natural fiber seems to be a material worthy of investigation. Light weight and insulation of coir fiber add to the comfort of the wearer in textile application.
In this study, coir surface is made conductive by metal coating and temperature regulation is achieved by applying a small voltage. Copper, aluminium and silver metals are used for coating the coir fiber surface. Thin film coating on one side of coir fiber is done by vacuum deposition technique. Temperature regulation of upto 12 degrees is found to be possible by the application of a potential of about 1 Volt. Analysis of variance is used to compare the effect of thickness of coating and type of coating material on heat production with respect to voltage. Metal coating on coir fiber is found to provide a versatile combination of physical, thermal and optical properties and can be subjected to textile processing without any problem for the development of smart textiles.
Enhancement of Properties of Coir Geotextiles by Natural Rubber Latex Coating
Authors: U.S. Sarma  
Published: April 2020

Coir geotextiles find application in revegetation of slopes by stabilizing the soil through erosion control. It has been found that the longevity of coir geotextiles although highest among all the natural fibres, it is required to last for at least 5 years so as to sustain the vegetation on the slopes for a long term solution. Normally it is found that coir geotextiles lose their 50% strength in 6 months in contact with soil, therefore it is required to strengthen the coir geotextiles.
This work involves the coating of coir geotextiles with natural rubber latex which could enhance the longevity of coir geotextiles in various civil/bio engineering applications. The rubber latex coated coir geotextiles which are eco-friendly have superior mechanical properties and better durability compared to the conventional uncoated coir geotextiles.
This paper reports the coating of coir geotextile using natural rubber latex and a comparative study of the physical and mechanical properties of the treated and untreated coir geotextiles.

Published: April 2020

A study was conducted at the Plant Introduction Center (PIC), Southern Agricultural Research Center (SARC), Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC), Karachi for the effect of Organic {Neem Seed Powder (NSP) and Gliricidia sepium leaves (GSL)} and Inorganic {(Urea (N), Di-ammonium phosphate (P) and Murait of potash (K), (NPK)} Fertilizers Amendments on Inflorescence and flower Morphology and Yield of Coconut. The experiment consist of eight treatments namely; T1 (NPK + NSP + GSL), T2 (NPK+ NSP), T3 (NPK+ GSL), T4 (NSP + GSL), T5 (NPK), T6 (GSL), T7 (NSP), T8 control without treatments. The experiment was laid down as Complete Randomized Block Design replicated three times. The results demonstrated that the number of spikelets with female flowers were significantly high in T1 to T7 as compared to T8 treatment. The 1st spikelets with number of female flowers (48.97) were significantly (p<0.05) high in T1 as compared to T2, T3, T4 and T8. In case of stalk length (38.05 cm) it was significantly (p<0.05) high in T1 as compared to T8. The findings of the study indicated that the number of nuts (99.33) and fruit weight (1490.77 g) were significantly (p<0.05) highest in T1 as compared to T3 to T8 and T2 to T8 treatments, respectively. The T1 treatment also showed better fruit length (25.75 cm), fruit breadth (42.97 cm), husk weight (448.66 g), shell weight (278.11 g), kernel weight (434.22 g) and nut water (188.77 ml) with significant differences in some of the treatments. The application of organic amended with inorganic fertilizers, enhanced the growth and nut production in nutrient deficient soils. It is therefore, recommended that treatment T1 {NPK+NSP+GSL)}/palm/year was enough to improve the morphological, inflorescence, flower morphology, high nut production, better income to coconut farmers, economical and beneficial for conservation of coconut genetic resources in coastal area of Pakistan.
Production Technology for Kopyor Coconut Seednuts and Seedlings in Indonesia

Published: April 2020

Kopyor coconut is a naturally-occurring mutant having fluffy solid endosperm in stead of the normal one. Similar type of coconut has been found in several other Asian countries, with their distinct local names, such as Macapuno (Philippines), Makhrao Kathi (Thailand), Dikiri Pol (Sri Lanka), Thairu Thengai (India). It is a delicacy coconut to Indonesian and sells as much as ten times higher than normal coconut. In nature, three types of kopyor coconut exist in Indonesia: kopyor tall, kopyor dwarf, and kopyor hybrid. There are three kopyor dwarf varieties (‘Pati Kopyor Green Dwarf’, ‘Kopyor Yellow Dwarf’ and ‘Kopyor Brown Dwarf’) officially released, and one registered tall variety (‘Puan Kalianda Kopyor Tall’). In general, kopyor fruit yield under natural conditions is only < 25% of the total harvested fruits for both the tall and the dwarf types. Traditionally, Indonesian farmers harvest kopyor fruits at ten months after pollination while normal fruits at 11 months. They use the harvested normal fruits for propagation; but cannot guarantee whether or not they would produce korpyor fruit. Adoption of kopyor seedling production through embryo culture has been done. However, the seedling production is slow, while the price is very expensive, thus unaffordable to common farmers. Indonesian Palm Research Institute and Bogor Agricultural University have collaborated to develop alternative approaches to increase kopyor fruit production through the production of seedling that would ensure to produce korpyor fruit through control pollination. Initiated since 2010, the activities successfully overcome uncertainty in kopyor seedling production. Moreover, hybridization among local superior coconut varieties and known kopyor one have been done to broaden genetic background of kopyor trait and to develop breeding population for new kopyor varieties in the future. Overview and update of research progress on korpyor in Indonesia are presented in this paper.

Breeding programs of kopyor dwarf coconut require a population base with high genetic diversity especially for characters that relate to fruit production. The study aims to determine the appearance of three kopyor dwarf coconuts from Pati District and correlations among 13 characters of Kopyor Green Dwarf, Kopyor brown dwarf, and Kopyor Yellow Dwarf and to study twelve vegetative and generative characters which directly and indirectly affect the number of fruits. The study was conducted at The Paniki Experimental Garden, North Sulawesi, Indonesia from August 2015 to February 2016. The design used was randomized block design with three treatments and three replications. Observed thirteen characters including number of bunches (NB), number of fruit (NF), number of leaves (NL), number of leaflets (NLL), width of leaflets (WLL), length of the leafleats (LLL), length of petiole (LP), width of petiole (WP), thick of petiole (TP), length of rachis (LR), length of leaf (LL), height of stem (HS), and girth of stem (GS). Path analysis among morphological characters to number of fruits was worked out using the formula of Singh and Chaudary. Results of variance analysis showed Kopyor Green Dwarf and Kopyor Brown Dwarf significantly differed from Kopyor Yellow Dwarf. Results of simple correlation analysis found no correlation among twelve characters with number of fruits for the three kopyor dwarf coconut, but the results of the path analysis of characters NL (r=0.5627), NLL (r=0.5920), HS (r=0.4861), and GS (r=0.6123) for the Kopyor Green Dwarf; NB (r=0.4241), LP (r =0.6390) , WP (r = 0.8705), LR (r = 0.5235), and LL (r = 0.6257) for the Kopyor Brown Dwarf; and WLL (r = 0.8413), LLL (r = 0.5617), TP (r = 0.5864), LR (r =1.5795), and LL (r = 1.0228) for the Kopyor Yellow Dwarf directly affect the number of fruits. These characters can be used for basic selection in breeding of kopyor coconut.
