Peasant Understanding Of Food Sovereignty: Indonesian Peasants In A Transnational Agrarian Movement, Annisa Seminar, Sarwiti Sarwoprasodjo, Rilus Kinseng

Makara Human Behavior Studies in Asia

La Via Campesina (LVC) is atransnational agrarian movement that actively promotes food sovereignty as analternative approach to the global food crisis. Communication among local,national, and global members of this movement is needed to spread it furtherand support food sovereignty. This study focused examines the dynamics of local–globalcommunication in a food-sovereignty movement by comparing peasants’ statementsin the relevant communicative spaces and official texts produced by LVC. Themethod of ethnography of communication (EO) is used to determine peasants’ understandingof food sovereignty and the context that influences it. Based on a multi-sitestrategy of ethnography for gathering data, we observed seven relevantcommunicative spaces and …

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

The health service industry involves activities that provide medical services (hospital), manufacture of medical equipment or drugs, and medical insurance services. Options of research methods to measure the impact of services on environmental aspects are available. One among which is life cycle analysis (LCA), the recently popular practice in Indonesia. This paper attempts to explore whether LCA could be fitted to the health service industry. A literature review would help in procuring related references from various publications accompanied by several research results and related studies. For describing the application of LCA in hospitals, several articles were collected, which were later …

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

The universal health social security program in Indonesia began in 2014, and as of the present day, many people are now covered by it. However, many weaknesses in the system have been pointed out. Significantly, many people do not possess the necessary health cards to take advantage of the program due to the complicated process one must go through in order to obtain them. Even now, 60 million people have not joined the program. Many people do not rely solely on the universal social security program but may be supported primarily or additionally by the vernacular care system, whereby support …

Tanzania Journal of Science

Aluminium and tungsten co-doped vanadium dioxide (VO2:W:Al) thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering technique. In this work we report on the effects of aluminium and tungsten co–doping on the optical properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2) based thin films with a view of combining both increased luminous transmittance (Tlum) and lowered transition temperature (τc). The effect of aluminium and tungsten co-doping on semiconductor-metal transition of vanadium dioxide films was investigated and compared with tungsten doped and undopedVO2films. Spectral transmittances of the films were obtained using Shimadzu SolidSpec-3700 DUV UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the transmittance of tungsten …


Hall Effect Parameters Of Aluminium And Tungsten Co-Doped Vo2 Thin Films, Mohamed Mussa, Nuru R Mlyuka, Margaret E Samiji Dec 2018

Hall Effect Parameters Of Aluminium And Tungsten Co-Doped Vo2 Thin Films, Mohamed Mussa, Nuru R Mlyuka, Margaret E Samiji

Tanzania Journal of Science

The Hall Effect parameters of Al and W co-doped VO2 thin films were studied in order to explain the effect of co-doping on the electrical properties of thermochromic VO2 films. The carrier concentrations and conductivity of the films were found to increase with increase in temperature while carrier mobility decreased reaching a minimum around the transition temperature then slightly rose and became stable at high temperatures. Tungsten doped films displayed higher carrier concentrations and conductivity on both sides of the metal insulator transition and lower mobility compared to undoped and Al and W co-doped VO2 thin films.

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Decoupling resource use efficiency and ecological impacts are two challenges of oil palm smallholders in Indonesia. This study aims to find option for increasing productivity among smallholder and to reduce the environmental impacts of nutrient management in their plantations. We adopted UNEP’s definition of resource and impact decoupling as a tool to estimate resource decoupling rate and impact decoupling rate. The average smallholder’s resource decoupling rate from 2013 to 2017 is 0.86 kg fertilizer/kg fresh fruit bunch. This rate is 93.48% of the average of the companies (0.92 kg fertilizer/kg fresh fruit bunch) for the same period. Reducing the fertilizers …


Sago As An Environmentally Sustainable Food Resource In The Climate Change Era, Saptarining Wulan Dec 2018

Sago As An Environmentally Sustainable Food Resource In The Climate Change Era, Saptarining Wulan

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

This current study is focused on measuring the life cycle assessment of the sustainability of sago palm cultivated on peatlands. A previous theory suggested that while food production tends to increase arithmetically, population tends to increase naturally at a faster geometric rate that may cause hunger and/or starvation in the future generation. Land is a limited resource, and to address the rapidly increasing population, peatland cultivation has become popular as a result in the recent times. Rice is the main staple food in Indonesia with a consumption of >90 kg/capita/year. Sago palm is an indigenous plant that abundantly grows in …
