“…While oil palm has caused an economic boom in the producing regions, it has also attracted criticism on environmental and social grounds. Oil palm expansion is often held responsible for deforestation, biodiversity loss, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and conflicts over land rights between oil palm companies and local communities (Curran et al, 2004;Fitzherbert et al, 2008;Koh and Wilcove, 2008;Rist et al, 2010;Wilcove and Koh, 2010;Feintrenie et al 2010a;Koh et al, 2011;Wicke et al, 2011;Carlson et al, 2012;Margono et al, 2012;Obidzinski et al, 2013;Dewi et al, 2013;Wheeler et al, 2013). However, oil palm is not only grown on large-scale plantations.…”

We investigate land-use dynamics in Jambi, Sumatra, one of the hotspots of Indonesia's recent oil palm boom. Data from a structured village survey are used to analyze the role of socioecono mic and policy factors. Oil palm is partly grown on large plantations, but smallholders are also involved significantly. We find that, in spite of significant oil palm expansion, rubber remains the dominant crop. Most of the oil palm growth takes place on previous fallow and rubber land. Oil palm has not been a major driver of deforestation. Much of the forest in Jambi was cleared more than 20 years ago, and rubber was an established cash crop long before the oil palm boom started. However, oil palm growth occurs in locations with ongoing logging activities, so indirect effects on deforestation are likely. The government's transmigration program of the 1980s and 1990s was instrumental for the start and spread of oil palm in Jambi. Some autochthonous villages have adopted oil palm, but adoption started later compared to migrants from Java, and it happens at a slower pace. While the transmigration program benefited many of the participating families, it has contributed to the risk of unequal socioeconomic developments in Jambi. Terms of use: Documents in

“…The market reactions to land acquisitions have been widely studied, as illustrated in Glascock et al (1989;1991); Corgel et al (1995); Sing et al (2002); Ooi and Sirmans (2004); Hui et al (2010); Obidzinski et al (2013) and others. Glascock et al (1989) determine that the acquiring property company can not capture excess returns, in that the seller extracts most of economic profit, especially when sellers has a distinct and rare asset and there are many competitors pursuing the property.…”

This paper examines the market reactions to acquisition announcements in Taiwan land auctions. Empirical evidence shows that successful bidders can enjoy significant positive abnormal returns as a result of land auction events. Specifically, successful acquisitions in Taiwan land auction havean intra-industry contagion effect. The land size and the market atmosphere before the auction events benefit the stock market reactions.

Synthesis and characterization of highly purified nanosilica from pyrophyllite ores AIP Conference Proceedings 1719, 030020 (2016) A number of research have been reported related to broad synthesis method and mechanical properties. So far there is no specific report of electrical conductivity associated to PIW and JIL natural polymers. In order to obtain electrical conductivity and its crystallinity of the extracted polymer films, it was induced on them a various fraction of silver nano particles. The film has been prepared by means of spin coating method on nickel substrate. It was revealed that FTIR spectra confirm the existing of rutine flavonoid. The crystallinity of the samples increase from 0.66%, to 4.11% associated to the respective various of silver fractions of 0.1 M to 0.5 M. SEM images show that there are some grains of silver in the film. The nature of electric conductivity increases a long with the addition of silver. The electrical conductivity increase significantly from 3.22 S/cm, to 542.85 S/cm. On the other hand, PIW films also shows similar trends that increase of Ag induce the increase its crystallinity as well as its electrical conductivity at semiconducting level. This result opens a prospective research and application of the green renewable polymer as optoelectronic materials.
