The results of exploration of the rhizospheric apple plants obtained isolates on conventional fields in Kec. Pujon has the highest abundance of fungal colonies compared to other regions. Based on the results of the antagonism test for pathogenic fungi and biological agents, it was found that the isolate codes KH.C, KK.A, JK.B, JK.J, and BK.B had the highest percentage of inhibition or the most effective in controlling the pathogen Gloeosporium sp.

Meanwhile, in the control group, the p value = 0.085 (> 0.05) was obtained, which indicated that there was no significant difference. The results of the analysis of differences in the incidence of temper tantrums before and after treatment between the treatment group and the control group were carried out using an independent sample t test and the results obtained were p=0.387 (>0.05). These results show that there is no significant difference in the incidence of pre and post temper tantrums between the treatment and control groups.

Indigenous People’s Land Rights in Post-Soeharto Indonesia

Abstract One of the challenges during the democratic transition from the New Order regime to the Reformasi era was advancing the idea of an agrarian transition to reconcile structural inequalities regarding land ownership. However, this transition was unfortunately not accompanied by a rearrangement of land ownership to allow the practice of land-grabbing inherited from the New Order regime to persist in contemporary Indonesia. This article examines the reasons behind the failure of the agrarian transition in Indonesia, by focusing on case studies in Tegalrejo Village, Malang Regency and the Pamona indigenous peoples, Poso Regency. We argue that the modus operandi of land-grabbing practices is highly dependent on state power and weak protection of communal land rights. By explaining these two factors, this article provides recommendations to strengthen the community’s position in dealing with land-grabbing practices by limiting the power of the state and encouraging land reform aimed at securing community land rights.

Power Relations between Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) Facilitators and Beneficiary Families (KPM) (Study on PKH Implementation in Malang Regency)

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a government social assistance program that aims to reduce poverty and improve the welfare of poor families in Indonesia. The PKH program seeks to reduce this social and economic inequality by providing financial assistance based on certain conditions to beneficiary families. However, a paradox also occurred in Malang when the program budget and number of PKH recipients were from 2018 to 2021. This actually shows that PKH has not succeeded in releasing poor people from the abyss of poverty. Using the phenomenological method, this article was created to understand the business process of implementing PKH. Second, it is related to the social dynamics of PKH implementation. The author discusses how the orientation of PKH assistants as social workers is the key to supporting social and economic change for PKH Beneficiary Families (KPM). And finally, the author discusses Power Relations in the context of PKH. This discussion explains the impact of social dynamics in implementing PKH. As a result, bureaucratic and social pathology, especially in the form of corrupt behavior accompanying PKH, has become a challenge that must be overcome. Social pathology among KPM also influences the implementation of PKH. In a deeper analysis, the power relations between PKH assistants and KPM can be explained using Michel Foucault’s power relations approach, which can be correlated to understand the dynamics and interactions in PKH implementation more thoroughly.

There were 171 individuals found consisting of 10 species, namely Chalcorana chalconota, Odorrana hosii, Polypedates leucomystax, Leptobrachium hasseltii, Phrynoidis aspera, Microhyla achatina, Duttaphrynus melanostictus, Cyrtodactylus marmoratus, Elapoidis fusca, and Bronchocela jubata.

Analytic network process in traditional market solid waste management in Malang Regency, Indonesia

One type of decision support process that assists in decision-making during Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is the Analytic Network Process (ANP). ANP can determine the best pattern of sustainable traditional market solid waste management in Malang Regency. The six categories used in ANP analysis consist of environmental impacts (DL), technical operations (TO), regulations (PH), institutions and organizations (KO), financing (P), and community participation (PSM). The weighting results of the criteria that had the largest weight was the sub-criterion of Strengthening the Active Role of the Community (PSM1) with a limiting weight of 0.058271. The largest alternative weighting result was Scenario 3 (Integrated Solid Waste Management). Scenario 3 had a priority with the highest weight of 0.213951. The results of the sensitivity test when all criteria values were changed to 0.999 also changed the value of the alternatives. The changes in alternative weights when the sensitivity test was performed consisted of 3 sub-criteria that were sensitive to the changes, namely the sub-criteria of soil pollution (DL2), direct benefits (P4), and ease of operation (TO2). This research shows that the use of ANP provides a more efficient decision-making process in traditional market solid waste management.
