Proper management is needed to maintain asian small-clawed otter welfare. This research objectives were to examine and assess asian small-clawed otter welfare in three Indonesia zoos. The study was conducted from December 2016 to February 2017 in Bandung Zoo, Ragunan Zoo and Ocean Dream Samudra Ancol. The methods of this research were literature review, interview and field observation. Data were analyzed using the suitability of management and animal welfare assessment. The result showed that there were three main management activities conducted at the three study locations, i.e., nutrition, housing, and health management. Bandung Zoo achieved the lowest score of asian small-clawed otter welfare (45,24%) compared to Ragunan Zoo (62,24%) and Ocean Dream Samudra (65,90%). Asian small-clawed otter welfare in three institutions were relatively low to fair category, this was due to the unfilled quality of food and water i.e., the type, amount, feeding frequency, diet and preparing of food; the unavailability of suitable and favorable environmental conditions; the care facilities provided could not ensure the health of animal; the appearance of abnormal behavior that affected the growth and breeding of animal; and animal had no freedom to behave as in their natural habitat.

  • Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: a Study from the Periphery
    Vol. 5, No. 9 Asian Social Science Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: A Study from the Periphery Sri Soejatminah (Doctoral student) School of Education, Deakin University 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, Victoria, Australia Tel: 61-3-9244-6237 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Globalisation as a global phenomenon has been influencing Indonesian Higher Education like other education systems in the world. Internationalisation in response to globalisation is a common feature in majority universities. It is also a feature of Indonesian Higher Education institutions, yet so far it seems that the way in which Indonesian higher education is responding to globalisation with internationalisation of its universities is not well reported. This paper aims to address this gap by examining relevant government papers, policies, research, reports and other documents available on line as well as at web sites of universities and other related web sites depicting how internationalisation has been conducted in Indonesian higher education. The paper attempts to reveal the perceived challenges of globalisation for Indonesian higher education and to what extent and in what form internationalisation has been achieved. Particularly, it will analyse the relation between policies and practices and identify barriers to internationalisation. However, it should be noted that this article is selective rather than comprehensive in reflecting on the internationalisation process in Indonesian higher education. Findings show that globalisation is perceived as a challenge requiring a response rather than as a threat to be dealt with. Many sources reflect that the government has been initiating and facilitating various programs to support internationalisation within the system. It appears that lack of capability at the institution level slows down the process.

Vol. 2, No. 1, 2018, 1-18 1 Perceptions of Certified EFL Teachers Pertaining to Teacher Certification Program in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia Anshari Syafar Universitas Tadulako, Palu, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP). The program has conceivably raised the status of the teachers in social and economic lives. However, the impact of the program on the improvement of overall teacher‘s quality—teaching performance as mandated by Teacher and Lecturer Law remains questionable, and the big question is what and how teachers perceive and act in response to the objective of the program. The program aims not only to increase the teachers‘ salary, but also to improve the quality of their teaching performance based on the teacher standard competence, that is pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competences. Therefore, the study explore and describe certified EFL teachers‘ perceptions concerning benefits of the program on thier social and economic lives, improvement and quality of their teaching practices; perceptions on the ways management ran the program; and expectations for better services of the TCP management. Keywords: perception, teacher certification program, certified EFL teachers, TCP management 1 Introduction Recently, the state and condition of Indonesian teachers have gradually changed to a better nuance due to the compensation of teacher certification program (TCP).

  • The 3Rd ICOR 2018
    i IORA International Conference on Operations Research Manado, Indonesia, September 20-21, 2018 rd The 3 ICOR 2018 Operations Research (OR) had become powerful decision making tools worldwide. In its use, Management Science (MS) is used as another term for OR. Concept of OR is borderless as it can be derived from various discipline such as Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, Marine Science, Social, etc. to make a new set of knowledge for decision making. Today, OR has become a professional discipline which deals with the application of scientific methods in decision making theory. The scope of OR can be used to find best solution for both simple and complex problem. It is beneficial in every aspect of human life regarding resources optimization. OR is widely used in important and main fields such as national planning and budgeting, transportation, education, agriculture, and marine management. Therefore, research and study involving OR are inevitable. Number of research and study about OR or using OR as tools is high these years. This is accommodated by Indonesian Operations Research Association (IORA) IORA as one of OR organisations in an annual international conference entitled International Conference on Operations Research (ICOR). ICOR 2018 is the third conference. This initiates to bring together OR/MS researchers, academicians and practitioners, whose collective work has sustained continuing OR/MS contribution to decision-making in many fields of application. It can be considered as good platforms for the OR/MS community, particularly in Indonesia, to meet each other and to exchange ideas. ii IORA International Conference on Operations Research Manado, Indonesia, September 20-21, 2018 COMMITTEE: Conference Chair: Dr.

Sexual monomorphism, in which males and females are not easily distinguishable, is one such factor and is a common problem in captive breeding of many avian and reptile species. Species-specific nuclear DNA markers, recently developed to identify portions of sex chromosomes, were employed in this study for sex determination of Komodo dragons (Varanus Komodoensis). Each animal was uniquely tagged using a passive integrated micro-transponder (TROVAN 100A type transponders of 13 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter). The sex of a total of 81 individual Komodo dragons (44 samples from Ragunan zoo, 26 samples from Surabaya zoo, and 11 samples from Gembira Loka zoo) were determined using primers Ksex 1for and Ksex 3rev. A series of preliminary PCR amplifications were conducted using DNA from individuals of known sex. During these preliminary tests, researchers varied the annealing temperatures, number of cycles, and concentrations of reagents, in order to identify the best protocol for sex determination using our sample set.
