Sumitro3, Tri A.3 and Suharjono3 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, University of Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia. 2Chemical Engineering, Politeknik Negeri Malang, Malang, Indonesia. 3Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Sciences, University of Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia. Abstract : Rice straw is composed of 28-36 % cellulose, 12-16 % lignin, 15-20 % ash, and 9- 14 % silica with strong non-covalent and covalent cross linkages between molecules, which are very difficult to degrade. A pretreatment process is needed to degrade these components. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of pretreatment and particle sizes on cellulose degradation of rice straw. Rice straw pretreatment consists of no delignification, delignification with thermochemical pretreatment, and delignification with thermochemical pretreatment followed by microbial degradation, while rice straw particle sizes are 38, 53, and 112 µm. The final composition of substrates after pretreatment is observed using SEM and FTIR. The results show that variation of particle size with thermochemical pretreatment does not alter cellulose degradation, but microbial consortium are able to increase cellulose degradation. Rice straw thermochemical pretreatment followed by microbial degradation shows that smaller sizes of particle yield more effective degradation of cellulose. The percentage of cellulose degradation at particle sizes 38 µm, 53 µm and 112 µm are 71.96 %, 50.15 %, and 24.30 % respectively.

    ICBS Conference Proceedings International Conference on Biological Science (2015), Volume 2017 Preface The 4th International Conference on Biological Science, ICBS 2015 is hosted by Fac- ulty of Biology Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The biennial ICBS has facilitated an international dialogue on biodiversity since 2009. In the fourth confer- ence, we continue this tradition of uniting the spirit of science with the endeavours of scientists. The relevance of the ICBS conference theme is “Towards the sustainable use of biodiversity in a changing environment: from basic to applied research”. This theme is reflected in the diverse range of papers that have been submitted for presentation. There are over 250 presenters from countries including Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, Ethiopia, Germany, Netherlands, The United Kingdom, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. This demonstrates the popularity of the ICBS for sharing ideas and findings with a truly international community. Among these papers for presentation, we have selected 35 papers to be published in KnE Life and Sciences. We believe that these selected papers have reflected the six themes of ICBS 2015 including molecular biology and biotechnology, structural and functional biology, ecology and bioconservation, evolution and systematics, biomedical and bioactive natural products as well as biomathematics and bioinformatics. Refereeing papers for an international conference such as ICBS 2015 is a complex process that relies on the goodwill of those people involved in the field. We invited seven researchers from related fields to referee papers for the presentation and then Received: 11 February 2017 followed by the paper selection to be published in KnE Life and Sciences.

  • Current Data on the Indonesian Military Elite
    CURRENT DATA ON THE INDONESIAN MILITARY ELITE (Prepared by the Editors) Periodically over the last fifteen years we have prepared lists of officers hold­ ing key positions in the hierarchy of the Indonesian Armed Forced to help readers keep abreast of current developments. (The last previous listing was in Indonesia, No. 33 [April 1982] which included changes through February 1982.) We have been able to do so because changes of personnel have typically been incremental, and because when a major organizational change took place, as in October 1969, the transformation occurred quickly and smoothly, without involving any drastic redis­ tribution of power or personnel. This is not the case with the recent reorganiza­ tion. The changes that got under practical way in March 1983 are unprecedented in their scope and complexity, and seem unlikely to run their full course before well into 1984. Essentially, they can be understood as involving two distinct, yet interrelated processes: (1) a generational shift which has virtually eliminated the "Generation of '45" from the Armed Forces' hierarchy; (2) the organizational rever­ berations of the separation of the functions of Minister of Defense and Security and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces mandated by Law 20/1982. Perhaps fortu­ nately for the editors, the evidence for the generational shift was largely complete as of the beginning of July 1983, and seems reasonably susceptible to preliminary analysis. On the other hand, although General S. Poniman and General L. B. "Benny" Murdani assumed on March 28, 1983 the twin top positions that had earlier always been held by a single officer, the division of authority and responsibility between them has yet to be resolved; and until it is resolved many billets remain either empty or held on a caretaker basis.

Ultrafine particles can be emitted from burning process, such as forest burning, agriculture waste burning, cigarette, etc. In this study, ultrafine particles produced by cigarette smokes has been investigated as a function of smoking rate. The samples consisted of different types of Indonesia cigarette called Kretek cigarette. The quantification of emission factors was conducted by the burning of the cigarette samples, then the smoke that was sucked with a different flow rate using an adjustable pump. The flow rate was chosen to correspond as close as the variation of the rate that people smoke. The measurements of ultrafine concentrations were carried out using an ultrafine particle counter P-Trak TSI 8525 capable of measuring particles with the diameter in the range of 20 to 1000 nm. The results showed that the emission factor of ultrafine particles significantly depended on the smoking rate. A higher smoking rate produced higher average ultrafine particle emission factor.

  • Power Politics and the Indonesian Military
    Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 20:05 09 May 2016 Power Politics and the Indonesian Military Throughout the post-war history of Indonesia, the military has played a key role in the politics of the country and in imposing unity on a fragmentary state. The collapse of the authoritarian New Order government of President Suharto weakened the state, and the armed forces briefly lost their grip on control of the archipelago. Under President Megawati, however, the military has again begun to assert itself, and to reimpose its heavy hand on control of the state, most notably in the fracturing outer provinces. This book, based on extensive original research, examines the role of the military in Indonesian politics. It looks at the role of the military histori- cally, examines the different ways in which it is involved in politics, and considers how the role of the military might develop in what is still an uncertain future. Damien Kingsbury is Head of Philosophical, International and Political Studies and Senior Lecturer in International Development at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. He is the author or editor of several books, including The Politics of Indonesia (Second Edition, 2002), South-East Asia: A Political Profile (2001) and Indonesia: The Uncertain Transition (2001). His main area of work is in political development, in particular in assertions of self-determination.

    chapter 3 Expertise and National Planning Abstract This chapter looks into the development of Indonesia’s postcolonial higher education system and the international technical assistance protocol in developing Indonesia’s new managerial class. It looks into the rapid expansion of higher education and the effort of the Indonesian society to decolonize its education system away from the Dutch model. Because of the swiftness of this process, Indonesianization looked a lot like Americanization. International aid through technical assistance was the primary means through which Western ideas on development planning and expert production through international higher education became cemented. Aid money helped create personal and institutional relationships between Indonesian and American govern- ment institutions and universities. In particular, the relationship between experts like the economist Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, Indonesia’s state planning institution, the faculty of economics of the University of Indonesia and UN and usaid technical experts and Western social scientists from American within mit’s Indonesia Project and others. These forms of transnational relationships legitimized the position of In- donesian planning experts within planning institutions that had strong institution- al relationship with the West. This pattern would continue throughout much of the twentieth century. Keywords Indonesianization of higher education – Americanization – international technical aid – modernization theory – Indonesia project This chapter discusses two developments concerning the post- colonial crea- tion of expertise during the 1950s. The first was the development of higher edu- cation in both quantitative and qualitative terms: this included the expansion of domestic tertiary education and the Americanization of the curriculum and study methods, as well as the introduction of the Guided Study method.

  • Backlash Against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’S Experience
    Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Dongsheng Zang, Chair John O. Haley Melissa Durkee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Herliana ii University of Washington Abstract Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dongsheng Zang School of Law This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market.
