The side-effect of sand mining was disappearing of biomass which caused of land degradation. A study has been carried out to obtain the model legume association with superior grass plants that are adaptive to repair post-mining land on dry land. This research was desgined in association patern between grasses and legumes with manure application, using 8 combination of grasses herbaceous and tree legumse with 3 replications. This research was conducted at Sebudi village, Karangasem district. Panicum maximum var. Trichoglum, Paspalum atratum, Centrocema pubescens, and Clitoria ternatea were used for grasses and legumes respectively. Observed variables were quality and forage production. The results of this research showed that almost all association can be implemented at dryland, and association patern between Panicum and Paspalum with Clitoria gave extra biomass. This association also showed great potential to improve land quality. The quality and production of grasses were greatly influenced by the association of legumes. Panicum and Paspalum associated with both Clitoria or Centrocema gave highest yield. Various of manure showed a non significant difference on quality and production of grass associated with tree legumes, although it tend to increase both of growth and production of grasses.

Today apartment dwellers generally tend to be individualistic righteously urban middleclass society in general. Unlike the situation in the neighborhood, where the level of socialization on the surrounding community is still quite high due to the surrounding community still likes hanging out with the neighbors, especially in the afternoon. Issues raised here is the lack of socialization that occurs between the residents in the apartment. Garden Living means “life park”. Garden is a garden that is as a place of socialization for residents and surrounding communities. Garden Living itself is to make the park as a place to socialize and interact with fellow residents of the apartment and the garden is also a gathering place for the general public. Lack of facilities to accommodate the occupants to socialize the reason the construction of an apartment that has an garden and is expected to become a place to socialize for the residents of the apartment. For the people who live around the apartment also will be built a public park so that people can still socialize and gather together. Taking the concept of Green Architecture or Sustainable Architecture, the building is minimal in consumption of natural resources, including energy, water, materials, and minimal negative impact on the environment. By the way of utilizing rain water and Deli river water and uses sunlight as a power source. 100406064

Curriculum 2013 (K-13) was first announced in 2014 which has been applied to number of schools. Preparation of this new curriculum by the government aimed at making education in Indonesia is not only focused on cognitive aspects or skills possessed, but also at students' interest and motivation. Unfortunately, behind the goal, there are issues occured in the school during the application of K-13. Those are input process and values conversion that takes relatively much time. The things are caused by the dissimilarity of the standards and the assessment scale between current curriculum with the previous one. Meanwhile, the academic system running in schools is still pretty conventional. Therefore, this research will construct an application which have capability to handle the things. Beside those additional features, this research is build an application in order to apply the data mining with k-NN algorithm to predict students learning outcomes based on certain subjects. Data source that used in this research were consisted into 500 data training that covered up all classes or labels. Testing methods which have been applied are black box testing and confusion matrix. There are 3 techniques of black box testing that applied in order to test the system functionality according to its input values. Those are equivalence class partitioning, boundary value analysis and decision table based testing. Meanwhile in confusion matrix, it has been done 3 times testing according by k value in k-NN algorithm. With k-5 acquired accurate rate 79.34%, k-10 with accurate rate 62.67%, then k-15 with accurate rate 64%. Thus, information that can conluded from those testing methods is the algorithm with k-5 is more accurate than any others.
