Kesadaran Manfaat Perencanaan Strategis Bagi Lembaga Pendidikan

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui manfaat perencanaan strategis bagi lembaga pendidikan Islam. Metode yang digunakan adalah literature review, dengan mengumpulkan  berbagai referensi artikel pendukung dari jurnal-jurnal nasional. Hasil kajian ini menjelaskan, Apabila perencanaan strategis dapat dibuat dan dilaksanakan dengan benar serta didukung oleh komitmen pimpinan, maka perencanaan strategis dapat memberi manfaat-manfaat bagi lembaga pendidikan Islam, antara lain : (1) Perencanaan  strategis  dapat  memperkuat  “critical  mass”  menjadi  team  yang  kompak, karena diarahkan untuk menganut nilai-nilai pokok, sistem utama dan tujuan bersama, (2) Perencanaan strategis dapat membantu untuk mengoptimisasikan performance lembaga pendidikan Islam, (3) Perencanaan strategis dapat membantu pimpinan untuk selalu memusatkan perhatian dan menganut kerangka bagi upaya perbaikan secara kontinyu, (4) Perencanaan  strategis  memberikan  pedoman  bagi  pengambilan  keputusan  sehari-hari, dan (5) Perencanaan   strategis   selalu   memberikan   kemudahan   untuk   mengukur   kemajuan organisasi dalam usaha mencapai tujuannya untuk memperbaiki kualitas dan produktivitas. Manfaat perencanaan strategis pendidikan menjadi hal yang perlu diperhatikan untuk menciptakan penyelenggaraan pendidikan Islam yang bermutu

Studying the Dynamics of Partial Rhizosphere Drying to Improve Water Use Efficiency and Productivity of Cotton.

Cotton is the major fiber and oil seed crop around the globe, which is badly affected by water deficit stress. To fulfill the needs of increasing population with depleting water resources there is need to adopt management strategies which result in sufficient cotton yield with less water consumption. Keeping in view the current circumstances, research studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of partial rhizosphere drying (PRD) in combination with different mulch materials (M0= control, M1= black plastic mulch, M2= wheat straw mulch and M3= cotton stick mulch) for enhancing the productivity of cotton with less water. Study was comprised of five experiments. In the first experiment five different cotton cultivars (FH142, IUB222, IUB13, MM58, NOOR) from recent existing pool were screened out against control (I0) and PRD (I1) irrigation under wire house conditions. Cotton variety MM58 performed the best with maximum physiological and both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants values. In second experiment the selected variety (MM58) was again tested under various mulches and irrigation regimes in wire house. Wheat straw mulch gave the best results with maximum stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and biochemical activities. Third experiment was carried out for comparative study of full, deficit and PRD irrigation. PRD was found better than DI (deficit irrigation) using equal amount of water. Abscisic acid (ABA) concentration was found more in PRD than DI which had positive influences on cotton physiology for efficiently utilization of irrigation water. Same experiment was repeated under field conditions for consecutive two years. More growth traits were found under control irrigation but yield attributes were statistically at par in both control and PRD irrigation. Concentration of osmolytes (proline & sugar contents), activities of antioxidant enzymes and water use efficiency (WUE) were more in PRD treatment. Amongst all mulches wheat straw mulch significantly improved the growth, yield and quality attributes (fiber length and strength) of cotton as compared to un-mulched treatment under field conditions. Economic analysis of the field experiments revealed that maximum net field benefit (NFB) was obtained in control irrigation with wheat straw mulch. It was concluded that wheat straw mulch gave the best results under both control and PRD irrigation than other mulch combinations used in the experiment.
