Abundance of Marine Debris on Satonda Island, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Abstract Macro-sized marine debris is found not only on the coasts of densely populated islands but also on the coasts of small islands. The presence of marine debris on this small island is because there are tourist attractions that attract people’s attention or because currents around it carry it away. Therefore, this research aims to determine the abundance of marine debris on Satonda Island (a small island in the eastern part of Sumbawa Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia). Even though it is small, this island is an attractive tourist destination because it has a lake formed from the eruption of Mount Tambora. Marine debris data was collected using the quadrant transect method, carried out randomly along the coastline. Data collection time was carried out at high and low tides, with the parameters recorded being the amount and type of waste, size and shape of rubbish, coordinate points, transect length, and data collection time. The research results show that the marine debris on Satonda Island is diverse (393 items), with a total weight of 16,665.45 g. At high tide, it is dominated by rubber marine debris, such as shoes and sandals weighing 1,457 g (33 items), while at low tide, it is dominated by hard plastic marine debris weighing 3,972 g (147 items).

Quality Measurement of Online Single Submission (Oss) Information System with Mc Call Method (Case Study of Plut Kumkm)

The NTB Province Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Cooperative Integrated Business Service Center (PLUT-KUMKM) under the West Nusa Tenggara Province Small and Medium Enterprise Cooperative Service, provides comprehensive assistance to KUMKM to increase production and competitiveness. With seven service areas, PLUT- KUMKM provides effective solutions for business actors. However, in issuing a Business Identification Number (NIB) via the OSS application. The thing is, like in the Business Licensing menu, there is a business development feature. Carrying out business development cannot be completed in one activity in one feature, users must return to the new application menu to continue the business development process and make updates. And user errors often occur such as entering information or not following the correct procedures when filling out forms. The licensing system seeks to be integrated electronically, aiming to cut bureaucracy and improve public services. This research measures the quality of the OSS system for issuing nibs based on the perceptions of 100 gardatransfumi assistants, using the McCall method . A comprehensive evaluation is carried out to identify weaknesses and necessary improvements. Measuring the quality of OSS systems using McCall's theory is important for understanding product quality attributes from the perspective of users and the software itself. The research results will provide in-depth insight into the condition of the website and recommendations for improvement. With the OSS system, the government is trying to make it easier to manage business legality. The NIB issued through OSS becomes the identity of business actors for import and export activities. Through quality measurements, systems, weaknesses and improvements to the NIB issuance process can be identified thereby ensuring better service for business actors.

The Effect of Local Original Income (PAD), Transfer Funds (Balanced Funds), and Regional Economic Growth on the Regional Poverty Rate of West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB)

One of the primary goals of any municipality is human development when it comes to regional development. Reducing poverty and improving community welfare and human resources are the primary goals. The poverty rate in NTB Province has dropped dramatically, and the income and economic growth in the area have increased, thanks to the many regional development initiatives that the province has launched. Finding out how local original income, balancing funds, and economic development influence the poverty rate in NTB province is the main objective of this research. Using a battery of tests and regression analysis, we compile a dataset consisting of panel data from ten NTB Province regencies and cities covering the years 2012–2022. The results obtained from this study show that local original funding (PAD) has a significant impact on reducing poverty rates and balancing funds that significantly reduce poverty rates in the NTB province. However, economic growth impacts increasing the poverty rate in NTB province, although not significantly. This may happen because Indonesia's economic growth fluctuates, thus affecting the increase in poverty. Fluctuations occur due to factors such as national economic conditions, supply-demand, government policies, etc. This can affect the economic growth of NTB, and it also impacts the increasing poverty rate in NTB. In addition, the increasing population is one of the factors that contribute to economic fluctuations and the increase of poor people in NTB.

Exclusive Breastfeeding Behavior and Clean Water Facilities with the Incidence of Diarrhea in Toddlers

Diarrhea is still the second cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five in Indonesia. Data from Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013 showed that the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in Indonesia was 6.7%, a similar figure was also found in West Nusa Tenggara Province at 6.6%. Several factors are related to the incidence of diarrhea, namely exclusive breastfeeding and clean water facilities. This study aims to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and clean water facilities with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in Selagalas Village, the working area of the Cakranegara Community Health Center.

The importance of providing good and adequate clean water facilities, especially for mothers in caring for children.

Peningkatan Kapasitas Kelompoktani Melalui Inovasi Teknologi Pembuatan Pupuk Organik Di Kecamatan Janapria Kabupaten Lombok Tengah

During 2013-2019, rice production and cattle population in West Nusa Tenggara Province increased, however, rice productivity tended to decrease. One of the reasons for this decline in rice productivity is the excessive and continuous use of chemical fertilizers, which causes the soil structure to harden. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the use of non-chemical fertilizers or organic fertilizers whose raw materials come from cow dung which is often found in the field. Apart from that, animal feed, especially cows, is actually available around the community, namely in the form of forage from plants. However, management of forage for livestock has not been carried out by many farmers. Based on these problems, this community service activity aims to increase the capacity of farmer-livestock groups to be able to apply technology for making organic fertilizer and feed management. This community service activity was carried out in Saba Village, Janapria District, Central Lombok Regency, where there is quite a lot of agricultural waste potential available. Implementation of activities includes: outreach, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), training, and practice in making organic fertilizer and managing animal feed. The target of the activity was 30 members of the farmer-livestock group in Janapria District. The output of the activity is increasing farmers' knowledge, skills and attitudes in organic fertilizer production technology; as well as the production of solid organic fertilizer (compost), liquid organic fertilizer and animal feed from agricultural waste. Output in the academic aspect is in the form of writing in journals or seminar proceedings. The evaluation results using statistical methods with paired sample t tests in this activity showed that there was a significant increase in farmer-breeder behavior after participating in training activities in making organic fertilizer and making feed. Some farmer-breeders have implemented the results of the training and feel that there are savings in farming costs by using organic fertilizer that they make themselves

Abon Merapi (Mente Rasa Sapi) sebagai Bukti Kecintaan terhadap Kearifan Lokal Masyarakat Lombok Timur

Cashew nuts (Anacardium occidentale) are plants with great potential and high economic value in West Nusa Tenggara Province. East Lombok Regency is one of the cashew producing areas in Indonesia. Local people usually call it guava jemet or guava jebet. So far, cashew farming communities have only used the true fruit or what is better known as the seeds for sale. However, in reality, the pseudo-fruit of cashew nuts or what is commonly referred to as the fruit can be processed into a product that has high economic value, namely made into shredded meat. Shredded cashew is usually made from cashew fruit that is quite old or already ripe. Thus, the aim of making cashew floss is to create a new innovative product by optimizing the use of cashew fruit as an ingredient for making shredded cashew fruit, so that it can produce cashew floss with good quality and high selling value and is beneficial for consumers. This method of making shredded meat starts from the tool and material preparation stage, the processing stage, the shredded making stage, and the evaluation stage. Then a report is prepared and the article is published. It is hoped that the results of this activity will become an innovative product with high sales value and be published as an article that can be used as a reference for optimizing natural resources.

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

Optimization of Pengga Reservoir in The Mandalika Special Economic Zone for Irrigation and Water Supply

Mandalika Special Economic Zone is tourism area that is expected to improve the economy in West Nusa Tenggara Province. To support these activities, an allocation of domestic water needs of 200 liters second -1 is needed. The potential availability of water in the Pengga Reservoir is planned to be a source of domestic water needs in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone. Pengga Reservoir has an effective storage volume of 17.26 MCM. Potential water resources in Pengga Reservoir are obtained from reservoir outflow upstream and lateral inflow from several tributaries. The study was carried out to determine the reservoir storage capacity to meet domestic water needs and irrigation water needs covering an area 3189 ha. The cropping pattern used in the Pengga irrigation area is Paddy – Paddy/Secondary Crops – Paddy/Secondary Crops. To optimize the potential of water resources in the Pengga Reservoir, a linear programming optimization method is used. Indicators of the success of optimization calculations are indicated by the value of cropping intensity, k factor and reliability that have met the minimum limit value. The k factor value for irrigation water needs is 0.70 and domestic water needs is 0.85. Based on the optimization results, it is known the largest annual cropping intensity value occurs in the November I planting season. This conclusion can be seen from the comparison of annual cropping intensity values for the November I and November II planting schedules for the dry year inflow discharge scenario of 99.98% and 97.22% respectively. The cropping intensity value in the November I planting season is greater than November II, namely 100% and 97.25%, for the normal year discharge inflow scenario. This study provides an information for policy makers can use the November I planting schedule to obtain values for maximum cropping intensity and domestic water requirements.

Determinants of Local Revenue in West Nusa Tenggara Province

The economic growth of a region can be seen from the contribution of increasing regional original income originating from sources of taxes, regional levies, regional property and other separated regional wealth management results, and other legitimate regional revenues. The Province of West Nusa Tenggara in the last few decades has shown a significant increase in local revenue. In this study, the impact of population, inflation, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) on local revenue from 2010 to 2021 is explored. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) technique uses district or city annual data in a quantitative panel data regression model for the study. According to the findings of statistical studies, local own-source revenue is significantly positively affected by government spending, population, and gross regional product (GDP), but inflation-related price increases have a negligible impact on local revenue. The money supply determines the rate of inflation, the high rate of inflation is caused by the amount of money in circulation.
