Many studies applied the transitivity on the speech, but a little is known that transitivity could be applied on the folklore, as well. As a descriptive analysis, this paper aims at describing the type of processes, participants, and circumstances; context of the situation; a way of thinking; and ideology in Butonese folklore. The findings revealed firstly that a material process dominated the data while the frequency was 51,02%. This finding indicates that the Butonese life was oriented with the action which represented the horizontal dimension. The existential process as a process with the lowest percentage,5,31%, indicates the Butonese's understanding about themselves and their existence as a creature of God. Domination of actor that was 31.62%, is interpreted as Butonese's character as working people. The Butonese's principle was to give more than to take. This is proved by the use of recipient element that took the lowest place which was only 1,89%. The domination of place, circumstance, and element which was 29,83% shows harmony in the life of the Butonese with the nature. While the use of angle, viewpoint, circumstance, and element which was only 0.42%, indicates the Butonese's belief toward magical objects or the prophecy in the view of a necromancer. Secondly, situational context covering Butonese folklore describes their belief in reincarnation. Those thoughts indicate that the Butonese have three kinds of point of view: cosmos, communal, and religious. The Butonese's ideology was oriented with social ideology which taught people to help each other; in Butonese culture this theological ideology which was related to the spirituality of he Butonese in pre-Islamic period it was named pohamba-hamba.
Abstract This study aims to describe transivity and its relationship to the context of the situation in Nadiem Makarim's speech on World Teachers' Day 2021 by using functional systemic linguistic theory as an analytical tool. This research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The data source for this research is Nadiem Makarim's speech on world teacher's day 2021 which is accessed through the official website of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The method used is the listening method with a note-taking technique. Listening is in the form of reading the entire speech, then recording it and dividing it into clauses. The results showed that from the 25 clauses, there were two participants, namely human participants and non-human participants. Human participants became the participants with the most occurrences. There were five types of processes which consisted of material, mental, relational, existential and verbal processes. The type of material process is the process that occurs most frequently. There were five circumstantials which consisted of circumstantial causes, methods, locations, ranges and views. The circumstantial most commonly found is the cause circumstantial. Based on the results of the transivity research in relation to the context of the situation, it can be seen that Nadiem Makarim wants to emphasize that work ethic, competence and real action are important things in advancing education in Indonesia, especially during this pandemic.
This study aimed to obtain endophytic bacterial isolates originated from healthy cacao plant, potential for plant-growth promoting of cacao seedlings. This study was carried out in the Phytopathology Laboratory Unit of the Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University. This study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) using ten isolates of endophytic bacteria from healthy cocoa plants as treatments, plus a control treatment. The experiment was conducted in a screenhouse using seed treatment and planted in seedling boxes, containing sterile rice-husk charcoal as a growing medium. The result showed that three endophytic bacteria tested (isolates 2RPR1, 2RWB2, and 5BRB3) were potential as plant growth-promoting of cocoa seedlings, because the isolates were able to increase seed germination up to 96.67%, relative growth rate up to 90-96.67%, increased plant height up to 47.85-67.17%, root dry weight up to 35.08-52.63%, and canopy dry weight up to 97.71-108.46%. The superiority of the three isolates were related to their abilities to fix nitrogen, dissolve phosphate, as well as to produce indole acetic acid. Keywords: cacao, endophytic bacteria, plant growth-promoting agent, seed viability
