One of the problems faced by Indonesia, which lies in the industrial sector of sugar, that sugar production in the country that cannot meet consumption needs, so do imports from several countries. There is a huge opportunity to improve the national sugar production. Increased production of sugar to meet domestic needs have been programmed by the government through sugar self-sufficiency program. At first, self-sufficiency is to be achieved in 2014, but a number of considerations, postponed until 2019. Self-sufficiency has several benefits, among others; (a) increase the income of sugar cane farmers; (b) to be independent from the State (importers); (c) to create new jobs, and; (d) save on the use of foreign exchange. Although self-sufficiency has strategic benefits, but there are some constraints, namely; (a) sugar factories generally are old; (b) the total area of sugarcane plants dwindling; (c) the price of sugar on the world market is relatively cheap, so employers tend to be happy import, and; (d) it is difficult to get adequate land as possible to increase the production of sugar cane, mainly in Java.
The data were analyzed using multiple linear regressions, that the sugar production is positively correlated with the total area of the sugar cane crop, but negatively correlated with the volume of imports. This finding reinforces the self-sufficient, that the national sugar production can be increased through increased production and reduced imports of sugar cane. Another fact, domestic sugar consumption was positively correlated with domestic production and imports. This means that imports of sugar can be omitted if the national production has been able to self-sufficiency. For the success of self-sufficiency program is deemed necessary to improve the governance of the national sugar. In this case there is a choice, continuing the pattern of the core estate and smallholder (PIR), which is already applied, or implementing contract farming or cooperative farming.

This study produced several important findings, namely: (a) trade, especially foreign trade (exports and imports) and domestic production which increases the expansion of employment opportunities; (b) economic growth as measured by the growth of production and growth in investment showed an influence on the improvement of employment opportunities; and (c) Simultaneously, export, import, production and investment have a significant effect on employment. In connection with this, the Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia must continue to promote investment, especially sector Agroindustry and other agriculture-based industries, including fertilizer and pesticide industries. Imports of used clothing and used tires must be stopped to allow the national industry sector to recover profitable economic capacity. The agricultural sector must still get attention, especially food crops such as soybean, corn and rice and fruit to strengthen national food agriculture and agriculture-based industries as well as save on foreign exchange

Dalam rangka memenuhi tujuan negara yaitu tercapainya masyarakat adil dan makmur, maka pembangunan di segala bidang harus digalakkan. Pembangunan tersebut dilaksanakan secara bertahap, terus-menerus dan berkesinambungan dari tingkat pusat sampai ke daerah.
Sesuai Ketetapan MPR Rl No. II/MPR/1998 tentang Garis-garis Besar Haluan Negara dijelaskan bahwa: Pembangunan Daerah sebagai bagian integral dari pembangunan nasional dilaksanakan melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat, otonomi daerah, peningkatan investasi, pengembangan kelembagaan dan penguasaan teknologi, kemampuan pengelolaan keuangan daerah secara terpadu, efektif dan efisien, kerjasama ekonomi antar kawasan, peningkatan keterpaduan pembangunan antar kawasan dan daerah untuk mencapai kemajuan, kemandirian daerah dan kesejahteraan masyarakat secara merata di seluruh tanah air.(1998:93).
Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka kepada daerah diberikan hak otonomi yang dititikberatkan pada Daerah Kabupaten. Pemberian otonomi tersebut dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan daya guna dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintah, terutama dalam pelayanan terhadap masyarakat dan pelaksanaan pembangunan.

This paper reports the use of recast technique in correcting students’ errors in the EYL (English for Young Learners) classroom. Observation and interview methods were conducted to collect the data. While observation was implemented to find out the role of recast in teaching-learning processes, interview to ten teachers and twenty-four students was conducted in order to answer teachers and students’ perceptions of recast technique. Findings showed that teachers and students gave positive perceptions of recast. Recast can encourage students’ language awareness, motivation, and independence. The findings of this study suggest that recast technique can be used as an alternative feedback in giving correction to students’ errors. The study confirms literature showing that recast is an effective corrective feedback.

The study aims to find out the responses of Oral Corrective Feedback and Students’ Uptake on EFL students’
learning process in speaking class and to identify the most frequent type of oral corrective feedback and uptakes
by one non-native teacher and EFL students. To find out the responses and the types, the classroom observation
and interview were done. The results revealed that explicit correction is the most frequent type of oral corrective
feedback used by the teacher and self- repair as the most frequent type of students’ uptakes. Regarding the
responses of giving oral corrective feedback, the student admitted that 1) they became aware of their own errors;
2) they were motivated to improve their speaking skill; 3) their pronunciation and grammar input improved; and,
4) their vocabulary enriched. In spite of the positive responses of the students on the explicit correction, a further
study should be done with a different level of English proficiency in order to obtain comprehensive contributions
to the importance of feedbacks and uptakes in the learning process.

Bahwa pembangunan bertujuan untuk menciptakan hari esok yang lebih baik, kiranya tak perlu lagi dipersoalkan.

This paper examined the impact of technological progress on poverty reduction, with
unemployment rate and economic growth as moderating variables, in Indonesia during the period
of 2004-2013. It was coincided with two perods of Yudhoyono administration.Technological
progress was measured by total factor productivity (TFP) growth, unemployment was
measuredby open unemployment rate, economic growth was measured by the growth of Gross
Domestic Product based on the year of 2000 constant price, and poverty reduction was measured
by the percentage of poor people. Impact analysis was conducted using SEM-Path Analysis
techniques. Most data were directly gathered from the National Statistics Agency, except data on
TFP growth. The results showed that first, technological progress,directly, had a not significant
positive impact on poverty reduction (Path-1). Second, technological progress, indirectly, had a
positive significant impact on poverty reduction (Path-2). Third, technological progress,
indirectly, had a positive significant impact on poverty reduction (Path-3). Fourth, technological
progress, indirectly, had positive significant impact on poverty reduction (Path-4). Technological
progress was important factor for poverty reduction but it was not sufficient conditions.

This paper analysis relation andimpacts of Islamicity on happiness, with human development and global competitiveness as moderating variables.Cross-nations data on Islamicity, human development, global competitiveness and happiness were collected from 123 countries and employed in a path analysis model. The result showed that there were positive and very strong correlations between Islamicity and happiness (r14= 0.81), between global competitiveness and happiness (r34= 0.76), and between human development and happiness (r24= 0.82). Path coefficients indicated that direct impact of Islamicity on happiness was positive and significant (P41= 0.36), direct impact of global competitiveness on happiness was positive and significant (P43= 0.06), direct impact of human development on happiness was positive and significant (P42= 0.46). Indirectly, the impact of Islamicity on happiness, through global competitiveness was positive, but statistically not significant (P43-P31= 0.04), the impact of Islamicity on happiness through global competitiveness and human development was positive, but statistically not significant (P43-P32-P21= 0.01) and the impact of Islamicity on happiness through human development was positive and significant (P42-P21=0.39). Implication of this finding was that applying Islamic teaching and implementing the practice of human development would be very important to make people happy and to maintain happiness.

Munculnya perkampungan kumuh di kota-kota besar Jakarta misalnya, sebenarnya berawal dari pesatnya pertumbuhan penduduk terutama akibat derasnya laju arus urbanisasi. Ini merupakan konsekuensi logis dari sangat timpangnya laju pertumbuhan ekonomi antara daerah pedesaan dan daerah perkotaan.

Hampir setiap tahun selalu muncul gagasan untuk menangkal arus membanjirnya masyarakat yang berbondong-bondong ke Jakarta. Kalau tahun lalu Fraksi Karya Pembangunan (FKP) DPRD DKI Jakarta mengusulkan agar jakarta di canangkan kembali sebagai kota tertutup bagi pendatang baru, seperti pernah dicanangkan pada tahun 1970-an. Setelah lebaran tahun ini, beberapa orang anggota DPRD DKI Jakarta, yaitu Wakil Ketua Komisi D.H.Abu Bakar, dan Sekretaris FPDI, Romulus Sihombing, mengusulkan agar segera dibentuk forum konsultasi antar Pemda seluruh Indonesia
