Fractographic Analysis of 5052 Al-Mg Alloys Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing

In this work, ECAP technique has been applied to 5052 Al-Mg alloys where the alloys find wide application in building and construction, automotive, cryogenic and marine applications. The alloy samples extruded by ECAP with four different deformation routes for 4 passes each were tensile tested and the observation of the fracture surfaces were carried out by using digital camera and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The experimental results showed that the initial pre-annealed sample showed cup and cone shape of fracture, whereas the fractured ECAPed samples of all deformation routes exhibited shear feature in which the fracture surface made an angle with pressing direction of ECAP. The change of size and shape of dimples fracture from larger and irregular shape dimples in initial sample to much smaller and grains-look like dimples in ECAPed sample indicating the grain refinement occurred after ECAP. Among the ECAP deformation routes applied, route BC resulted in smallest dimples size, i.e. about below 2 mm in average. The post annealing subjected to ECAP samples recovered almost completely the fracture feature and fracture morphology to that of the initial one, which was achieved after annealing at 300°C.

IMPROVEMENT OF RICE GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH BALANCE APPLICATION OF INORGANIC FERTILIZER AND BIOFERTILIZER IN INCEPTISOL SOIL OF LOWLAND SWAMP AREA

The objective of this study was to obtain a proper balance dose between biofertilizer and inorganic fertilizer in order to increase the growth and yield of rice in Inceptisol soil of lowland swamp origin. Biofertilizer was made by enriching straw compost with N 2 interceptor bacteria, phosphate solvent bacteria and growth stimulator bacteria isolated from swamp lowland in South Sumatra. This study was conducted from November 2012 to March 2013 in a greenhouse.

Factors Influencing Individual Performance In An Indonesian Government Office

1024x768 Reformation in Indonesian government offices leads to many substantial changes, and demands improved job performances while arguably loading employees with more work. This research aims to understand factors that potentially influence job performance in Indonesian government offices that carries on such reformation. Using adapted scales from previous studies, this research investigates the role of workload, responsibility for others (level of responsibility to care for other people) and need for achievement on employee’s performance. A survey to all full-time workers in an Indonesian government office is conducted. Contrary to expectation, workload does not influence employee’s performance. Instead, regression analysis demonstrates that, employee’s need for achievement and responsibility for others are significant factors affecting individual performance. These results are important because they highlight the significance of need for achievement for the success of reformation in this office, and by extension for reformation in Indonesia. The results are also interesting because this is the first study that points out to the role of responsibility for others in influencing individual performance in Indonesia which is characterized by collectivistic culture. This paper discusses the contributions of these results for theory and practice. Keywords : Indonesian public, need for achievement, responsibility for others, workload.

Identifying Contextual Factors of Employee Satisfaction of Performance Management at a Thai State Enterprise

Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Although there has been an increase in Performance Management (PM) literature over the years arguing that PM perceptions are likely to be a function of PM process components and contextual factors, the actual relationship between the contextual factors and employee satisfaction of PM remains little explored.   Extending previous research, this study examines relationships between contextual factors and employees’ PM satisfaction.   Derived from the literature, these contextual factors are motivation and empowerment of employees, role conflict, role ambiguity, perceived organisational support, procedural justice and distributive justice.   Seven directional hypotheses are tested accordingly through a series of regression analyses.   This article finds that these contextual factors, with the exception of role conflict, are directly predictive of enhanced employees’ PM satisfaction at the Thai state enterprise.

Including capabilities of local actors in regional economic development: Empirical results of local seaweed industries in Sulawesi

Stimson, et al. (2009) developed one of the most relevant and well known model for Regional Economic Development. This model covers the most important factors related to economic development question. However, this model excludes the social components of development. Local community should be included in terms of the development of a region. This paper introduced to the Stimson model “Skills” and “Knowledge” at the individual level for local actors indicating the capabilities at the individual level and introduced “Human Coordination” for the capabilities at the collective level. In our empirical research we looked at the Indonesian seaweed market with a specific focus on the region of Baubau. This region was chosen because there are hardly any economic developments. Furthermore this study focuses on the poorer community who are trying to improve their situation by the cultivation of Seaweed. Eighteen local informants was interviewed besides additional interviews of informants from educational and governmental institutions in the cities of Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta. The informants selected had a direct or indirect relationship with the region of Baubau. With the support of the empirical data from this region we can confirm that it is worthwhile to include the local community in the model for regional economic development. The newly added variables: at the individual level; Skills and Knowledge and at the level of the collective: Human Coordination was supported by the empirical material. It is an indication that including the new variables can give regional economic an extra dimension. In this way we think that it becomes more explicit that “endogenous” means that the people, or variables closely related to them, should be more explicitly included in models trying to capture Regional Economic Development or rephrased as Local Economic Development Keywords: Regional and endogenous development; Fisheries and seaweed industries; Indonesia; Sulawesi; Community-based management, Local community.

The Growth of Root Rot Disease on Pepper Seed Applied by Trichoderma Harzianum Inoculum

Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Root rot disease on pepper caused by Phytophthora capsici is one of the most important diseases on pepper. The using of antagonistic fungus of Trichoderma harzianum as a biological control agent of the pathogen is one of the important alternatives in controlling P. capsici without causing negative effects on the environment. The objectives of the research were to study about the ability of T. harzianum inoculum application in inhibiting the development of root-rot disease, influenced the growth of pepper seed, to studythe effective length time application of T. harzianum inoculum in inhibiting the development of root rot disease, and increased the growth of pepper seedlings. This research was arranged in a completely randomized design, with five treatments of length time application of T. harzianum inoculum i.e. control treatment without applicationtime of T. harzianum inoculum (K), application time of T. harzianum inoculum for 0 week (S0), application time of T. harzianum inoculum for 1 week (S1), application time of T. harzianum inoculum for two weeks (S2), application time of T. harzianum inoculum for three weeks (S3), and application time of T. harzianum inoculum for 4 weeks (S4) before planting. Each treatment was repeated15 times. The observed parameterswere disease percentage, the inhibition of antagonistic fungus, disease infection rate, plant height, number of leaves, wet and dry weight of plant, stem and leaves on pepper seed, and P. capsici population density. The result showed that application time of T. harzianum inoculumfor 4 weeks (S4) before planting is the most effective time in inhibiting the development of root rot disease than the other treatment sand also had significant effect on increasing the growth of pepper seed. The antagonism test showed that T. harzianum could inhibit P. capsiciin vitro.

Experimental Analysis for Factors Affecting the Repeatability of Plastics Injection Molding Tests on the Self-developed Apparatus

Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 To improve the repeatability of the injection molding test result, the affecting factors were investigated by means of experiments. Besides the traditional processing parameter, the factors of test conditions were also considered. In order to focus on the molding process rather than the molded part, the curve measurement of the melt pressure at the entrance to the nozzle was used as the output characteristic. Experiments for polypropylene (PP) showed that the injected volume was the key processing parameter. Within the test conditions, the injection number is the most important factor. According to the analysis the operating procedure was improved effectively .

Effect of a Combination of Extract of Centella asiatica L. Leaves and Extract of Green Coffee (Coffea canephora robusta P.) Beans in a Cream Preparation for Grade 1-3 Cellulite and Slimming

Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 An accumulation of fat in the subcutaneous tissue causes cellulite and dimpling on the surface of the skin. Although not related to obesity, obesity worsens cellulite. There are abundant topical anticellulite creams on the market, but the efficacy of these creams has not been scientifically proven. A combination of Centella asiatica L. leaves extract and green coffee (Coffea canephora robusta P.) bean extract in a cream preparation was clinically tested in 30 women for 84 days in the absence of diet and exercise. The descriptive-true experimental before (T-0)-after (T-84) method was used to classify the cellulite (grade 1 3) and to determine the slimming effect. The cellulite appearance and the body circumferences (abdominal and thigh) perimeters were photographed 5cm and 10cm below the navel and below the gluteal fold. The results of before and after the treatment showed that grade 1 cellulite lower (p &lt; 0.000), the measurement of abdominal circumference showed reduction (p &lt; 0.013), but the measurement of both thigh circumference showed insignificantly reduction (p &lt; 0.512). The combination of both extracts reduce cellulite and fat deposits in the abdominal area, making the volunteers look slimmer. Keywords: cellulite, Centella asiatica, Coffea canephora robusta

Sustainable Growth and Ethics: A Study of Business Ethics in Vietnam between Business Students and Working Adults

1024x768 Sustainable growth is not only the ultimate goal of business corporations but also the primary target of local governments as well as regional and global economies. One of the cornerstones of sustainable growth is ethics. An ethical organizational culture provides support to achieve sustainable growth. Ethical leaders and employees have great potential for positive influence on decisions and behaviors that lead to sustainability. Ethical behavior, therefore, is expected of everyone in the modern workplace. As a result, companies devote many resources and training programs to make sure their employees live according to the high ethical standards. This study provides an analysis of Vietnamese business students&rsquo; level of ethical maturity based on gender, education, work experience, and ethics training. The results of data from 260 business students compared with 704 working adults in Vietnam demonstrate that students have a significantly higher level of ethical maturity. Furthermore, gender and work experience are significant factors in ethical maturity. While more educated respondents and those who had completed an ethics course did have a higher level of ethical maturity, the results were not statistically significant. Analysis of the results along with suggestions and implications are provided. Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE
