Black rice is an alternative staple food better than white rice. It has lower carbs, but higher antocyanin compared to white rice. Nowadays, black rice consumption has increased, production needs to be increased to accomodate the demand. But, to our knowledge, there is lack of information about black rice resistance against biotic stresses, one of black rice cultivar is Cempo Ireng. This information needed for optimal Cempo Ireng cultivation. In this research, we determined chlorophyl content and analyzed OsNPR1 expression of three cultivars: Java14 (resistant control), Cempo Ireng, and IR64 (susceptible control), against Xanthomonas oryzae (Xoo). All of them were sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) before inoculated with Xoo. IR64 24h had the lowest chlorophyll content (0,576 ± 0,066 mg/g), meanwhile Java14 72h had the highest content (2,358 ± 1,301 mg/g). However, all the cultivars did not show any correlation between them and time after Xoo inoculation. OsNPR1 expression did not show any significant change in Java14 and Cempo Ireng after being inoculation. However, IR64 showed increasing OsNPR1 in 72h and did not change in 96h after inoculation. It indicated that OsNPR1 played important role in IR64 resistance against Xoo, but not in Cempo Ireng and Java14.

Employees as human resources in the company need to be managed properly. By providing high job satisfaction, it is expected that employees will voluntarily work with good work discipline. This research was conducted to find out job satisfaction with employee work discipline at the Kadugede Kuningan Health Center, West Java. The author uses the SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Salutions) application to calculate the regression equation test, and ANOVA with an error rate of 5% or 0.05. The entire population as a sample is saturated sampling using a Likert Scale. Based on the calculation of 48 respondents on the distribution of the questionnaire, the correlation coefficient value of 0.482 means that job satisfaction and work motivation on work discipline have a strong influence. Job satisfaction and work motivation contributed 48.2% to the occurrence of work discipline, and 51.8% was influenced by other variables outside this study. The results of the regression equation Y Y = 10.068 + 0.526X1 + 0.257X2 + e. If X = 0, the value of work discipline is 10,068 or without being influenced by job satisfaction and work motivation. Keywords: Job satisfaction, Work motivation, Work discipline

Pelatihan kaligrafi bagi siswa terutama di pesantern sangat di perlukan. Hal ini untuk mendukung proses  pembelajaran agar lebih terkoordinir dengan baik. Namun tidak semua pesantren yang memberikan perhatian lebih terhadap materi kaligrafi. Padahal mata pelajaran kaligrafi memberikan dampak cukup besar bagi seseorang yang mempelajarinya. Seseorang yang belajar kaligrafi akan memiliki kepekaan rasa dan kehalusan perasaan. Kegiatan pelatihan kaligrafi ini lah yang dilaksanakan di pesantren modern Thawalib Gunung. Siswa tingkatan Aliyah selama ini belum dibekali pengetahuan mendalam mengenai membuat kaligrafi dengan beragam alat seperti kalam dan juga kuas. Membuat kaligrafi tentunya mmebutuhkan pengetahuan dan pengalaman tersendiri sehingga hasilnya menarik. Kegiatan ini dimulai dengan memberikan materi tentang jenis khat kaligrafi dan bagaimana karakter dari masing masing khat tersebut. Selanjutnya siswa diperkenalkan dengan teknik dasar kaligrafi menggunakan kalam. Untuk mempelajari kaligrafi, maka siswa harus mencoba dahulu bagaimana menggunakan kalam dan menorehkannya di kertas.Latihan ini dimulai dengan membuat masing-masing khat . Selanjutnya siswa akan belajar mengenai membuat tulisan kaligrafi dengan menggunakan kuas. Penggunaan kuas juga bertujuan agar siswa mampu lebih mengeksplorasi lagui berbagai bentuk khat yang ada. Di materi akhir siswa diberi kebebasan membuat khat dengan cat dengan beragam warna untuk menghasilkan beragam bentuk khat yang menarik.Kata Kunci : Pelatihan, Kaligrafi, Karakter

<p>Concrete is widely used for buildings because of its high compressive strength. Reinforced concrete must be able to withstand water infiltration into the concrete. This is to prevent the infiltration of corrosive ions with water that cause corrosion attacks on the reinforcement. One type of concrete that can reduce the infiltration of water into the concrete is Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). SCC generally uses a very small water cement ratio, so it can reduce water infiltration into the concrete. SCC is not enough to cover with corrosion attack significantly. The use of added calcium stearate has been shown to significantly reduce corrosion attack on concrete reinforcement. Unfortunately, the effect of calcium stearate usage on the bond strength of reinforcement and concrete has not been well studied. This study aims to determine the effect of calcium stearate on 20 MPa concrete with doses of 0, 1, 5 and 10 kg/m3 on the pull out capcity and failure pattern of the concrete. The tests carried out include the compressive strength test and the pull out capacity. The results showed that the average pull out capacity with the addition of calcium stearate 0, 1, 5, and 10 kg/m3 were 5.78, 4.08, 3.83, and 3.45 MPa, respectively. The type of failure that occurs when the maximum load is reached is a splitting failure.</p>
