Sadoh: Profit Sharing System of Bajo in Fishing, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Sadoh is a system of sharing profits from fishing. It is one of the local knowledge that Bajo’s fishermen still apply. Each boat, along with the system, has its way of sadoh. This system involves all stakeholders who are bound to the fishing system. Sadoh is based on the fishing gear used, the fishing system, the type of fish, the crew (sabi), and the captain (punggawa). However, the calculations appear to be the same for sabi and fishing gear, although the system and type of fish can influence them. The method used in this study is linguistic anthropology. Data was collected using direct observation and in-depth interviews in three Bajo villages in West Nusa Tenggara Province. They are Pulau Maringkik village of Keruak of East Lombok Regency, Pulau Bungin village of Alas of Sumbawa Regency, and Bajo Pulau Village of Sape of Bima Regency. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a linguistic anthropological approach. The study results show that the sadoh count for the badang component tends to be the same for all fishing systems and durations. At the same time, material investment in the form of aiai, capital, and honor has a changing distribution component and tends to be more for different fishing systems and durations. Components owned by the badang also have a fixed share value, while investment tends to increase according to the system and duration of the catch. Thus, sadoh, as a profit-sharing system, places greater emphasis on returns on aiai, capital, and honor

Karakterisasi Alat Filtrasi Air Portable Berdasarkan Variasi Jumlah Absorber Karbon Aktif Limbah Tongkol Jagung

Sumbawa Regency is an area with soil water content containing lime. There was even lime blockage in the pipe holes used. So this research aims to create a portable filtration device that is cheap and efficient. The aim of this research is to characterize a portable water filtration device with an innovative absorber from corncob waste. The way this research works is the process of carbonizing corn cob waste and then activating it using 0.5 M NaOH for 24 hours. The absorber is then filled into a portable filter with dimensions of 50 cm in length and 4 inches in diameter. Filtration is carried out by flowing the collected well water into the water reservoir through a filter. Tests are carried out on water that has not been passed through a filter. After that, characterization was also carried out on the water that had passed through the filter. This characterization consists of Total Dispended Solid (TDS), Temperature, pH, Ca levels, and turbidity. The TDS value obtained decreases with the increasing number of absorbers used, namely from 203, 163, to 123 ppm. In addition, the temperature of the test water has almost no change. The resulting results were temperatures of 32, 33, and 32oC. The resulting pH value shows a decrease with an increase in the number of absorbers used, namely from 8.3; 7.7; 7.3. For turbidity, there was a decrease in the turbidity rate with an increase in the number of absorbers used, namely from 0.29 NTU to 0.3 NTU, and 0.28 NTU. In addition, CaCO3 levels decreased with an increase in the number of absorbers used, namely from 330 mg/l, 290 mg/l, and 240 mg/l. This value has met the threshold set by PMK No. 32 of 2017.

Analysis of Soil Permeability Batu Bulan Dam’s Right Secondary Irrigation Canal in Sumbawa, Indonesia

The assessment of soil and water conditions is crucial in planning and management of an irrigation system. This study focused primarily on investigating the fine aggregate flow absorption conditions of the soil from the secondary irrigation canal of the Batu Bulan Dam’s right bank in Sumbawa Regency, Indonesia. Soil permeability level was determined in a laboratory setting using standard water absorption parameters of an irrigation canal. Analysis of specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregate showed that sand sample (A) had a bulk specific gravity of 2.53, a saturated surface dried specific gravity of 2.55, and a water absorption of 0.92 percent. Sand sample (B) had a specific gravity of 2.53, a saturated surface dried specific gravity of 2.56 and an absorption rate of 1.02%. According to the characteristics of fine aggregate (sand) standard, the specific gravity range is between 1.6 and 3.3. Thus, the mud content value of the sand samples follows the standards set by SNI. The sand sample (A) exhibited a water absorption rate of 0.92%, whereas sand sample (B) displayed a water absorption rate of 1.02%. As per the Fine Aggregate Inspection Standard, the upper limit for water absorption in fine aggregate is prescribed as 3% of dry weight for concrete with abrasion and 5% of dry weight for non-abrasive concrete. Thus, the mud content value of the sand samples complies with SNI standards. The results suggest that future irrigation strategies should consider the distinct characteristics of native aquifers, the routes of groundwater movement, and the conveyance of soil nutrients to ensure the sustainability of agricultural development in secondary irrigation areas adjacent to reservoirs.
