Main Components

Background: Sampling methods are one of the main components of each research. Familiarity with a variety of sampling methods is essential for researchers. Objective: The main purpose of this study was to teach different probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling methods to improve the knowledge of researchers in conducting more accurate research. Methods: In this tutorial article, useful information about each sampling method, as well as how to properly use each method and its strengths and weaknesses are provided. Results: Five cases of probabilistic sampling methods and four cases of non-probabilistic sampling methods that are common are mentioned. Probabilistic sampling included simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, systematic random sampling, and multi-stage random sampling. In addition to introducing each method, its strengths and weaknesses are also mentioned. Conclusion: Probabilistic sampling methods despite limiting assumptions provide more reliable results. Therefore, if it is possible, researchers should use probabilistic sampling methods to increase the accuracy of the study.

Merkuri merupakan salah satu logam berat berbahaya diantara logam berat lainya seperti Timbal (Pb), Arsenik (As), Kadmium (Cd), Kromium (Cr) dan Nikel (Ni). Merkuri memiliki sifat beracun yang sangat kuat diketahui dapat terakumulasi dan tetap berada di dalam tubuh mahluk hidup dalam jangka waktu yang lama sebagai racun yang terakumukasi. Penelitian ini di lakukan untuk mengetahui kandungan merkuri pada tanah dan Umbi tanaman ubi kayu (Manihot esculenta Crantz) di daerah pertambangan Desa Soyowan Minahasa Tenggara. Dengan menggunakan Metode Purposive Random Sampling. Pengambilan sampel terbagi atas tiga stasiun dengan tiga kali ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan merkuri dalam tanah tidak terdeteksi oleh alat AAS (Atomic ansorption Spectrometry) karena kandungan merkuri pada tanah terlampau kecil, sedangkan pada sampel umbi tanaman ubi kayu memiliki kandungan merkuri yaitu 0,1414 ppm. Konsentrasi merkuri (Hg) melebihi ambang batas sehingga tanaman pada Stasiun II tidak layak lagi untuk dikonsumsiMercury is one of the heavy metals containing other heavy metals such as Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni).

Bivariate analysis used spearman rho (α= 0,05). Most animal protein intake was in the category of severe deficit which was 39.1%, the category of moderate deficit which was 1.6%, the category of mild deficit which was 3.1%, the category of normal which was 37.5%, the category of over which was 18.8%. The intake of vegetable protein was mostly in the category of severe deficit which was 51.6%, the category of moderate deficit which was 32.8%, the category of mild deficit which was 14.1%, the category of normal which was 1.6%. The incidences of stunting were in 33 children (51.6%) and unstunting were in 31 children (48.4%). There was a relationship between the intake of animal protein with the incidences of stunting (p = 0.0001, r = 0.798).

The diversity of Indonesian people can be a problem when they do not have a sense of brotherhood based on the diversity of religion, culture, language and ethnic groups. Understanding diversity is known by young people through various media outlets. This study aims to understand the level of the knowledge of youths concerning the values of pluralism and multiculturalism. This study also intends to find out whether social media influence the knowledge and their understanding of pluralism and multiculturalism. However, the demographic bonus could be a burden for the countries involved, particularly when the generation lacks competitiveness. This can even cause the disintegration of this nation. This study was a quantitative research study conducted using the survey method. The respondents consisted of 400 young people in high school or the equivalent. The study was conducted in three cities in East Java, namely Surabaya, Pasuruan, and Kediri. The samples were taken using the multi-stage cluster random sampling method. The data was obtained through structured questionnaires and processed using SPPS for Windows 16. The results can be explained as follows; even though more than fifty percent of the youths in this study claimed to have never heard or known of the term “pluralism” and “multiculturalism”, their level of comprehension of pluralism and multiculturalism values was good enough. This was influenced by the information that they got through social media. The values that are understood more by the youths through social media in this study tend to be more orientated to pluralism values than multiculturalism. The most understood pluralism values are plurality and diversity. This is in line with their assessment of the role and quality of the information available on social media, which tends to contain pluralism values rather than multiculturalism values.

Abstract The local community has managed peatlands for a long time with various commodities and levels of management. The success of farming in peatland requires the seriousness of farmers and proper land management to produce peatland’s high productivity and sustainability, including farmer’s competence. The research aims to analyze farmers’ competence in peatland farming and identify factors that influence farmers’ competence in peatland management. The research was conducted from August to October 2017 in Rasau Jaya Dua Village, Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. The selection of 48 respondents was made by a simple random sampling method. Primary data, including characteristics of respondents and farmer’s competence in peatland management, were collected through interviews using questionnaires and field observations. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the correlation test of Rank Spearman. The results showed that the farmers’ competence level in peatland farming in Rasau Jaya Dua Village was moderate. Factors that must be considered to develop the farming competence in peatland are age, motivation, and interaction with extension workers. Increasing the farming competence of farmers in peatland management can be achieved through improving the interaction between farmers and extension workers.
