Concrete is a buildings material made from a mixture of cement, sand, broken stone or gravel, and water. The fineness modulus is one of the physical properties of fine aggregates (sand). The Fineness Modulus (FM) of fine aggregates (sand) is an empirical figure obtained by adding the total percentage of the sample of a sand retained on each of a specified series of sieves and dividing the sum by 100. The fineness modulus of sand differs for each sand quarry. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of fineness modulus of fine aggregate (sand) on concrete compressive strength. The sand quarry taken in this study are from three sand quarry in Aceh Tamiang District. They are Johar quarry, Tanjung Karang quarry, and Alur Bamban quarry. The specimens of concrete used in the form of the cube measuring 150x150x150 mm amounted to 36 specimens. The compressive strength of concrete (fc') required is 21 MPa or K-250 with w/c ration 0.5. Concrete mix design using American Concrete Institute (ACI) method. The results showed that the fineness modulus of sand strongly influence the compressive strength of concrete. The classification of sand type is differentiated based on the results of fineness modulus test on each sand quarry. Sand fineness modulus (FM) of Johar quarry is 3.66 called medium sand (zone 2). Sand fineness modulus of

Tanjung Karang quarry is 3.15 called mild sand (zone 3). And, Sand fineness modulus of Alur Bamban quarry is 2.52 called fine sand (zone 4). concrete compressive strength test results on johar quarry specimen is 21.1 MPa, tanjung karang quarry specimen is 22.1 MPa, and Alur Bamban quarry specimen is 21.5 MPa. Sand fineness modulus does not affect the concrete compressive strenght. The best classification of fine aggregate to increse concrete compressive strenght is mild sand (Tanjung Karang quarry).

“Damn! I Completely Forgot”: The Use of Swear Words by Millennial Women

Teuku Muhammad Ridha Al Auwal — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract- The use of non-standard languages has mushroomed in the community even including the use of bad languages, the so-called swearing. People, nowadays, tend to swear a lot than they used to be. In recent years, swearing has become a part of everyday language use and it is not difficult at all to find many people use swear words within their daily interaction. Gender plays a significant role in swearing. There is a stereotype in most cultures that men are judged to swear more than women. Also, much research has revealed that males are likely to swear more than females in most cases. However, it has raised a question about the continuity of this belief. Based on the available literature, it is believed that the long-held assumption and stereotype seems no longer accurate. The purpose of this study was to find out the use of swear words by millennial women. This survey, then, was conducted at English Department of Samudra University involving 44 female students. The students were required to complete an anonymous survey on swearing. They were asked to fill out the questions related to rating the most offensive swear word; frequency of use of swear words in their everyday life; and also the most preferred words to be used within several occasions. The study successfully revealed the most common words used by millennial women. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the stereotype no longer fits with the current phenomena since females are getting familiar with a wide range of offensive words and even swearing becomes a part of their everyday language use now. Surprisingly, most respondents do not only prefer to use those taboo terms within same-sex companions but they also tend to swear in mixed-sex interaction.

The economic growth of developing countries such as Indonesia is largerly supported by the existenceof micro, small, and medium entreprises (Hayasi,2007). In fact, the existence of MSMEs has also been shown to sustain economic stability in Indonesia when the economic crisis hit Indonesiain 1997, MSMEs can survive and exist until now (Tambunan, 2005). Furthermore,the government of Indonesia is trying to support the development of MSMEs in size and number by improving the performanceof MSMEs since MSMEs can absorb a lot of labor that less educated or even dropout of school. Therefore, this is very important to improve the performance of MSMEs in Indonesia ( Hamzani, 2015.

Business incubators are perceived as important mechanisms for sustainable development as they involve relevant stakeholders and activities to interact each other. Relationships with relevant partner organizations such as universities, business centers, and public research organizations represent opportunities for business incubators in boosting sustainable business development (Rizal, 2017). Academics have a role as an agent of disseminating and implementing the science, art and technology, as well as agents that form a constructive values for the development of creative industries in the community. Rizal (2017) also stated that the effect of variable-market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation is significantly influence to SMEs performance.

Fitriani Fitriani, Vivi Mardina, Andini Saputri — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Black rice (Oryza sativa L. Cempo Ireng) is one of the rice varieties that are rich in nutrients viz. anthocyanin, flavonoids, vitamin B1and E, Fe and amino acids. In Indonesia, utilization of nutrients in the black rice is still limited due to low productivities and its cultivation is also not well known. An alternative natural fertilizer that can improve the productivity of black rice is organic KCl fertilizer derived from coconut husk. The current study aimed to analyze the effect of organic KCl fertilizer on the morphological growth of black rice including stem height, number of leaves, number of tillers, and time of panicle out. The research was carried out in a greenhouse using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) single factor (concentration of organic KCl fertilizer) with five treatments levels: 0 ml (P₀) as control, 20 ml (P₁), 40 ml (P₂), 60 ml (P₃) and 80 ml (P₄). All experiments were performed in five replications. Application of KCl fertilizer on the growth of black rice was given at three different times i.e. at 0 day after sowing (DAS), 7 DAS, 21 DAS and the transition time of vegetative to generative phase. The data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that the application of KCl fertilizer at concentration of 20 ml/L had the significant effect on the plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, and time of panicle out. The organic KCl fertilizer at concentration of 20 ml/L has increased the growth of 31.8 %, the number of tillers by 19 %, the number of leaves by 100%. Therefore, this study presents an alternative organic fertilizer that would enhance productivity of plant, as a result would contribute to strengthen national food and also minimize environmental pollution.

A combination of smoke, salt, and drying is one of the earliest recorded methods of food preservation. These procedures, loosely known as "Smoking" or "Smoke Preservation," are successful because they kill food spoilage bacteria or render them harmless by altering the chemistry of the food these spoilage organisms need to grow. Traditional methods of smoked food preservation typically produced high salt and low moisture content products that are not desirable to most modern consumers. In this research, we have designed a unit of fish smoke of forced convection type. Convection air flowed using a fan is expected to keep the temperature and heat evenly distributed in the evaporating chamber. This is to maintain the quality of fish is characterized by the level of maturity evenly. The fish-smoking apparatus has dimensions of 154 cm long, 60 cm wide, 110 cm high, equipped with an air fan of 20 cm x 20 cm. Test results on tuna samples weighing 20 kg, fish smokers can reduce the water content in fish 58% within 2 hours.
