Purpose This paper aims to find the pattern of interaction of political actors in situations of tenurial conflict in the watershed through a review of cases of social conflicts of plantation villages around Siak watershed 2009-2014. Design/methodology/approach In harmony with the Research Master Plan (RIP) of Riau University, the socio-political of Riau Malay society and the fundamental scientific pattern of Riau university, the development of the resources of area and waters and Malay culture, since 2001, the writer has conducted a study related to the issues of natural resources policy, especially oil palm in the era of regional autonomy and decentralization. This is in line with the umbrella of research developed by the University of Riau namely studying various aspects of natural resources (especially oil palm) and human resources of Watershed (DAS). The writer's review is; first, the dynamics of politics in relation to the issue of oil palm plantation policy in Riau. This study shows that there are many central policies when implemented at the local level including watersheds clashing with local interests such as forests and land ownership. Second, the writer has also reviewed the policy issues and problems of oil palm plantations in Riau watershed in 2000. This study shows there are many issues and problems formulated differently by different people. Findings Mapping and strategy are examined through the study of political strategies on oil palm plantations and use them to answer the following two questions: what kind of political model which can be used to manage the watershed conflict since regional autonomy is implemented. Economic factors are influential in mapping and management strategies for the emergence of tenurial conflicts in the Siak River Rivershed 2009-2014. The tenurial conflict management model of Siak rivershed, which is considered relevant, is a conflict-based model of cooperation with a partnership pattern between local government, watershed civil society and plantation business actors. The change of agrarian structure is directed to the effort to open the space for the accesibility of society in decision-making. Originality/value Some of these studies have not reached the tenurial conflicts in the watershed areas, especially Siak watershed. In fact, about 80 per cent of Riau province region consists of watershed. This becomes the originality and gap of this study with previous studies. This research was conducted further as an effort to synergize Riau's development policy with Riau University's research in harmony with RIP that was created and aimed to find the pattern of interaction of political actors in situations of tenurial conflict in Watershed through a review of cases of social conflicts of plantation around Siak watershed in 2009-2014.

Digital literacy is used to find, analyze, create, and transmit information and communication technology information. Based on the experience of several countries, the use of information technology has become one of the drivers of economic development, especially in rural areas and can encourage regional development. The use of ICT is considered effective in reducing community migration from rural to urban areas and improving the quality of government services through e-governance. Waringin Kurung Village is one of the isolated villages with a neighborhood located in the southern part of Banten Province, directly adjacent to the Ujung Kulon National Park area. This community service aims to improve the ability of village officials in utilizing digital literacy for the efficiency of the village service system, encouraging the dissemination of village information and village information. The method of implementing digital literacy development consists of three stages: a practice test by socializing the use of electronic mail (email), and understanding test through pretest and post-test on the use of Microsoft word applications, and case studies and problem-solving about information strategies. We conclude that higher education communities should involve more in developing digital literacy in rural villages. It will help rural communities use technology for their village administration and enhance public information management through the website and other digital channels. Abstrak Literasi Digital digunakan untuk menemukan, menganalisis, membuat, dan mengirimkan informasi menggunakan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, Berdasarkan pengalaman beberapa negara, pemanfaatan teknologi informasi telah menjadi salah satu penggerak pembangunan ekonomi khususnya di daerah pedesaan dan mampu mempercepat pembangunan daerah. pemanfaatan TIK dianggap efektif dalam mengurangi migrasi masyarakat dari desa ke kota dan meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan pemerintahan melalui e-governance. Desa Waringin Kurung merupakan salah satu desa terisolir dengan wilayah mayoritas dataran tinggi yang terletak dibagian selatan Provinsi Banten berdekatan langsung dengan wilayah Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon. Tujuan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan perangkat desa dalam memanfaatkan literasi digital guna efisiensi sistem pelayanan Desa, mempercepat penyampaian informasi desa, keterbukaan informasi Desa. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pengembangan literasi digital terdiri dari tiga tahapan diantaranya, tahap pertama adalah uji praktek dengan sosialisasi penggunaan surat elektronik (email), tahap kedua adalah uji pemahaman melalui pretest dan post test tentang penggunaan aplikasi Microsoft word, tahap ketiga adalah studi kasus dan pemecahan masalah tentang strategi mempercepat keterbukaan informasi. Hasil dan Simpulan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat sangat penting dilakukan oleh perguruan tinggi guna membantu masyarakat desa dalam penggunaan teknologi informasi, terutama membantu desa dalam proses administrasi desa melalui pemanfaatan email dan microsoft word, kemudian menyampaikan informasi publik desa kepada masyarakat melalui website desa perihal profil desa, keterbukaan APBD desa, struktur perangkat desa, prosedur pengurusan dokumen, ketersediaan dokumen secara online hingga keterbukaan laporan kinerja Desa. Kata Kunci: pemberdayaan desa; literasi teknologi informasi; literasi digital; perangkat desa; waringinkurung

Tari Drop Daruet sebagai warisan peristiwa budaya daerah masih bertahan hingga saat ini. Tujuan  penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui eksistensi tari Drop Daruet dan mengetahui upaya pelestariannya di era modernisasi. Lokasi penelitian di sanggar Cut Nyak Dhien Meligoe Gubernur Aceh. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yaitu: 1) Bagaimana eksistensi Tari Drop Daruet, 2) Upaya Sanggar Cut Nyak Dhien Meuligoe Gubernur Aceh dalam mempertahankan Tari Drop Daruet di era modernisasi. Sumber data utama diperoleh dari wawancara dengan informan, sedangkan sumber data lainnya diperoleh dari observasi dan studi dokumentasi. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi dan wawancara mendalam dengan informan (pengurus, pelatih, penari, pemusik dan masyarakat). Teknik analisis menggunakan model analisis data interaktif yakni pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Mengacu pada teori Malinowski yang mengatakan budaya yang  lebih  tinggi  dan  aktif  akan  mempengaruhi  budaya  yang  lebih  rendah  dan  pasif melalui  kontak  budaya. Serta  Umar Kayam terkait tentang kesenian dan peran masyarakat pendukungnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tari Drop Daruet merupakan tari tradisi yang tidak banyak dikenal oleh masyarakat dan minimnya informasi akan keberadaan tari tersebut. Tari Drop Daruet diartikan sebagai bentuk seni yang berakar dan bersumber serta dirasakan sebagai milik sendiri oleh sanggar Cut Nyak Dhien Meuligoe Gubernur Aceh atau lingkungannya. Upaya yang dilakukan dalam pengelolaan tari tersebut hanya didasarkan pada kesadaran masyarakat pendukungnya yang dilakukan dari waktu ke waktu dan diwariskan secara regenerasi.

Abstract. The characteristics of catalysts impregnated in coconut shell (CS) and palm kernel shell (PKS) activated carbon were determined as potential precursors of catalysts used in a flue gas denitrification system at low temperature. In this study, Manganese (Mn) and Copper (Cu) with metal loading of 8% were impregnated in the activated carbon (AC) before undergoing low temperature calcination process. The morphological properties of samples was analysed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) was used to determine the surface area and pore size of samples. The exhaust gas from a diesel engine at a constant flow rate of 4L/min was passed through in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor containing the catalyst, and the concentration of NOx was measured for temperatures ranging from 150°C to 250°C. It was found that the CS catalysts (CS-Mn and CS-Cu) and PKS catalysts (PKS-Mn and PKS-Cu) have the potential to reduce NOx concentration, and results showed that the metal loading of 8% resulted NOx reduction ranging from ~48% to 64%.
