Unlicensed gold mining (PETI) is rife in the community, especially entrepreneurs / capital owners since the last ten years in Merangin Regency. Lack of awareness of negative impacts is a problem that needs serious attention from the government. There are miners who come from outside and from the community itself. Even though PETI is difficult to overcome, many of the people who own the land have processed it to be planted with rice again. In other places or areas in Indonesia, many ex-PETI lands cannot be planted with rice anymore because they have already contaminated with mercury. Due to the fact that many ex-PETI lands have been re-processed into paddy fields in Merangin Regency, a research was conducted which took place in Pangkalan Jambu District. The reason for choosing Pangkalan Jambu sub-district as the research location is because in this sub-district the largest area of ​​land in Merangin Regency is being mined by the community. The research was conducted with a case study qualitative approach with data collection techniques, observation, interviews and documentation. The purpose of this study was to examine the processing of ex-PETI rice fields into reclamation. The results of the study concluded that the reclamation activity was carried out after several landowners tried to plant rice on the ex-PETI land which was successful and did not encounter any significant obstacles. Starting from here, other residents did the same thing and it turns out that it continues to grow until now. As the reason why rice plants can thrive, it turns out that in this place the miners do not use mercury when mining. Previously, the area of productive rice fields was 1202 ha and now, of the eight villages, the number of rice fields that have been reproducing (reclaimed) is 139 ha. There are 804 ha of rice fields damaged by PETI and there are 259 ha of land that are not damaged but have not yet operated or have not recovered and need to be reclaimed again.

Empowerment of the weak economic community is an effort to enable and empower the community. transmigration is a model of population distribution as well as an effort to improve the welfare of the economically weak community in the agricultural sector.

A study of in vivo on utilization of feed supplement (FS) containing of pineapples rind (PR) + 25 ppm Zn and 10 ppm Cu minerals as antioxidant source to increase antioxidant and cholesterol of milk. Etawah dairy goats in the second lactation with an average milk production of 0.467 liters head-1 day-1 were used in this experiment. The base diet was elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and the commercial concentrate containing 12.6% crude protein (500 g head -1 day -1 ). The treatments were elephant grass + concentrate as control (C), C+ FS containing 2.4 % PR + Min, C + FS containing 3.6% PR + Min and C + FS containing 4.8 % PR + Min. Variables of of dairy goat milk observed were milk yield and 4% FCM yield, lactose, fat, protein and antioxidant. Data were analyzed using Anova. Results showed that there were differences (p<0.05) among treatments on milk lactose and milk antioxidant, but no differences (P>0.05) were found on milk yield, 4% FCM (Fat Corrected Milk) yield, milk fat, and milk protein. As conclusion of this study was the supplementation of pineapple rind 4.8% and 25 ppm Zn + 10 ppm Cu minerals as antioxidant source did increase antioxidant of goat milk.Keywords :Supplementation, pineapples rind, antioxidant ABSTRAKSuatu penelitian in vivopenggunaan pakan suplemen yang mengandung serbuk kulit nenas (SKN) + mineral Zn 25 ppm dan Cu 10 ppm sebagai sumber antioksidan dilakukan untuk meningkatkan antioksidan dan kolesterol susu. Kambing perah Etawah yang berada pada laktasi kedua dengan produksi rata-rata 0.467 liter per ekor per hari digunakan pada penelitian ini. Ransum basal terdiri dari rumput gajah (Pennisetum purpureum) dan konsentrat komersial mengandung 12.6% protein kasar (500 g/ekor/hari). Perlakuan terdiri dari rumput gajah +konsentrat sebagai kontrol (C), C+ pakan suplemen mengandung 2.4% SKN+mineral, C+pakan suplemen mengandung 3.6%SKN+mineral dan C+pakan suplemen mengandung 4.8%SKN+mineral. Variabel yang diamati adalah produksi susu dan produksi susu 4%FCM, laktosa susu, lemak susu, protein susu dan antioksidan susu kambing. Data dianalisa menggunakan Anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang nyata (p<0.05) diantara perlakuan terhadap laktosa susu dan antioksidan susu, tetapi tidak terdapat perbedaan yang nyata (P>0.05) terhadap produksi susu, produksi susu 4%FCM (Fat Corrected Milk), lemak susu, dan protein susu. Kesimpulan hasil penelitian ini adalah suplementasi serbuk kulit nanas 4.8% dan mineral Zn 25 ppm+ Cu10 ppm sebagai sumber antioksidan meningkatkan antioksidan susu kambing.Kata kunci: Suplementasi, serbuk kulit nenas, antioksidan.

Salah satu jenis pajak daerah adalah pajak kendaraan bermotor. Subjek pajak kendaraan   bermotor   adalah   orang   pribadi  atau   badan   yang   memiliki   dan menguasai kendaraan bermotor. Kepatuhan masyarakat untuk membayar pajak kendaraan  bermotor  didukung  pula  oleh  tingkat  pengetahuan  masyarakat  itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya pengaruh pengetahuan wajib pajak tentang perpajakan terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak membayar pajak kendaraan bermotor di desa Rantau Alai khususnya dusun Tanjung di tahun 2017. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif korelasional, yaitu untuk mengetahui seberapa jauh pengaruh atau hubungan antara variabel X terhadap variabel Y berdasarkan koefisien dan korelasi. Sampel yang diteliti pada penelitian ini sebanyak 90 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari dua jenis, yakni data primer yaitu menggunakan angket, dan data sekunder yaitu dokumentasi. Dari hasil analisa data pada penelitian ini, diketahui bahwa hasil uji t diperoleh nilai nilai sig 0,043 ≤ 0,05, maka peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa hipotesis pada penelitian ini telah terjawab, yakni Ho ditolak, Ha diterima. Hal ini berarti bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara pengetahuan wajib pajak terhadap kepatuhan wajib pajak membayar pajak kendaraan bermotor di desa Rantau Alai khususnya dusun Tanjung tahun 2017. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini peneliti menyarankan kepada pemerintah daerah agar semakin meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat untuk membayar pajak kendaraan bermotor dengan cara memberikan edukasi atau mensosialisasikan kepada masyarakat manfaat dan fungsi dari membayar pajak kendaraan bermotor
