Adaptation of Three Local Garlics (Allium sativum L.) in Napu Plateau Central Sulawesi

One of the challenges in developing garlic in Indonesia is increasing its competitiveness. It means that the price and quality must be able to compete with imported garlic. Apart from that, productivity also needs to be increased. Currently, the national demand for garlic is estimated at 539.3 thousand tons per year (2016-2019), where domestic production only reaches 134.7 tons. Therefore, the rest number is fulfilled by importing. This condition has spurred many parties to take part in supporting the garlic development program, including the Central Sulawesi provincial government. Napu Plateau in Poso District Central Sulawesi Province is an area above 1000 meter of sea level and has A rain type with agro-climatic zone A1. This condition is very suitable for the development of vegetable crops, including garlic. The research objective was to determine the adaptability of three local varieties of garlic. The activity was carried out in Watumaeta Village, North Lore Subdistrict, Poso District, Central Sulawesi in April-July 2020. The study used a Randomized Block Design with treatments of three local varieties of garlic, namely Lumbu Hijau, Sembalun and Tinombo. Number of repetitions were five units. Observed parameters included plant height, number of leaves and stem diameter, bulb diameter, bulb weight, and number of cloves. The results showed that the garlic varieties have no significant effect on all observed parameters, except stem diameter, bulb dry weight and number of cloves. Those three local varieties have average number 54,70-58,18 cm of plant height; 7,70-8,08 of leaves; 0,35-0,42 cm of stem diameter; 2,41-2,78 cm of cloves diameter; bulb dry weight 11,92-17,09 gram; 4,10-4,90 of number of cloves. Among the three local varieties, Tinombo from Parigi Moutong District was superior compare to the other two varieties.

Level of Education and Perceptions of the Quality of Services to Prevent Radicalism: A Study in Poso District, Indonesia

This study analyzes the differences in public perceptions of the quality of radicalism prevention services from the point of view of the level of education. Education has been used to radicalize and deradicalize youth. Governments in conflict-affected countries have an interest in funding measures against violent extremism as part of education programs.

Respondents with high school education were able to have a higher average response than those with a college education.

Distribution of schistosomiasis intermediate snail in Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi

Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is only found in three locations, namely the Napu Highland and the Bada Highland in Poso District and the Lindu Highland in Sigi District, Central Sulawesi Province. The disease is caused by Schistosoma japonicum with snail Oncomelania hupensis lindoensis as its intermediate host. The previous study found that almost all of this host snail foci area were distributed in the seepage water near the Lore Lindu National Park area. Unfortunately, there was no evidence whether O. h. lindoensis exists in the Lore Lindu National Park Area. The study aimed to map the focus areas of schistosomiasis intermediate host snails in the Lore Lindu National Park. The survey was conducted in February 2018, covering 12 villages belong to Napu Highland, Bada Highland, and Lindu Highland. Data collection included surveys on the snail habitat and the snail density. In both activities, geographic coordinates were determined using Global Positioning System (GPS). The results showed 14 foci areas of O. h. lindoensis were found in the buffer zone of Lore Lindu National Park.

The Contribution of Financial Literation and Human Capital In Improving The Performance of Village-Owned Business Agencies

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between financial literacy and human capital on the performance of Village-Owned Enterprise. Village-Owned Enterprise has an important role in building the economy in the village. However, the condition that occurs is that there are still many conditions of rural community human resources, especially Village-Owned Enterprise officials, who do not have good management skills and financial literacy in managing Village-Owned Enterprise. This research uses explanatory research, research sites are in Sigi and Poso Regencies. The population of this research is the management of Village-Owned Enterprise in Sigi and Poso Regencies, amounting to around 300 people representing each village in Sigi and Poso Regencies. Based on the results of the questionnaire distribution, a sample of 75 Village-Owned Enterprise administrators in Sigi and Poso districts was obtained. Financial literacy in Sigi village and even more so in Poso district is still far from perfect, because Village-Owned Enterprise administrators in SIGI and Poso in general are unable to use village participation funds accountably. This is due to the weak capacity of Village-Owned Enterprise administrators in managing Village-Owned Enterprise planning, implementation and financial reporting. The results of this study prove that the human capital of Village-Owned Enterprise administrators has an effect on Village-Owned Enterprise performance. This indicates that the community, including Village-Owned Enterprise administrators, has the potential to innovate so that it will have an impact on Village-Owned Enterprise performance.

Seismic vulnerability analysis in Poso Distric

High seismic activity in Poso District is not supported by information related to earthquake hazard map with detailed scale. This information is very necessary for supporting the government’s efforts to reduce the risk of earthquake disasters. Therefore, this study aims to map earthquake-prone zones with detailed scale. The study was conducted by measuring Vs30 using a microtremor on each rock sample using the HVSR method, then these values were used as a reference in correcting the USGS Vs30 data, thus producing a VS30 distribution value, with an interval of 1 km. From the results of the study, it showed that based on the Vs30 ratio in Poso District, it obtained a ratio value > 0.5.

Abstract. Pitopang R, Umrah, Harso W, Nurainas, Zubair MS. 2020. Some botanical aspects and antifungal activity of Etlingera flexuosa (Zingiberaceae) from Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 3547-3553. Etlingera flexuosa is a species of Etlingera endemic to the island of Sulawesi and its natural distribution is restricted to Central and South Sulawesi, where it has been utilized for different purposes. Despite the limited knowledge in the aspects of botany and its antimicrobial activities, the use of plants as a source of alternative solutions to health problems is on the rise. The objectives of this study were to obtain some information about the several botanical aspects of E. flexuosa and its antifungal activity. This research was conducted from March to December 2019 and samples were collected from the montane forest of Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) near Sedoa Village, Lore Utara Sub-district, Poso District, Indonesia. The identification of plant specimens and extractions was carried out at the Laboratory of Plant Biosystematics, Tadulako University, Palu, Indonesia. The antifungal activity was tested using agar diffusion methods. The results showed that E. flexuosa is a perennial herb naturally distributed in Sulawesi island. It usually grows in the pristine submontane and montane forests, sometimes in light and open condition or on the slope of natural disturbed forest at the altitude of 1500 -1700 m a.s.l. The forest is dominated by Fagaceae family, of which E. flexuosa has been utilized extensively by local community of Topo Baria ethnic for various purposes such as flavor enhancer in food, vegetable, traditional medicine, and as roofing materials. It contains some secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, alkaloids and steroids, and also shows antioxidant activity. Conclusively, the extract of E. flexuosa could be used as inhibiting agent for the growth of Candida albicans yeast.
