Balikpapan, May 8, 2025 – Director of the State Agricultural Polytechnic (Politani) Samarinda, Dr. Hamka Nurkaya, attended the Coordination Meeting (Rakor) for Achieving East Kalimantan Food Self-Sufficiency held at the Auditorium of the VI/Mulawarman Military Regional Command Headquarters, Balikpapan City. This event was part of the Working Visit of the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Dr. H. Andi Amran Sulaiman, in an effort to accelerate the food self-sufficiency program in East Kalimantan through land optimization and the movement to create new rice fields. On that occasion, Dr. Hamka conveyed his aspirations to the Minister of Agriculture regarding the importance of the role of the younger generation in supporting national food security. He directly asked for support from the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture to encourage the interest of the younger generation to love the world of agriculture and be encouraged to continue their education at agricultural universities, especially at vocational institutions such as Politani Samarinda. "We hope for real support from the Minister in raising the spirit of young people so that they are not ashamed to be involved in the agricultural sector, continue their studies at agricultural universities, and together realize food self-sufficiency in East Kalimantan and Indonesia," said Dr. Hamka during a dialogue with the Minister. "Politani is not only an institution that produces superior human resources, but also an important part in the success of the government's strategic programs, both President Prabowo's Asta Cita for food security, and the East Kalimantan Provincial Government's food self-sufficiency target," continued the Director. The coordination meeting, which was led directly by the Minister of Agriculture, was attended by a number of regional officials, elements of the TNI-Polri, community leaders, and higher education institutions. In the forum, strategic steps were discussed to support food security through the expansion of agricultural land, utilization of technology, and strengthening of agricultural human resources. The Indonesian Minister of Agriculture welcomed the idea and emphasized the importance of collaboration between the central government, regions, and educational institutions in encouraging the birth of millennial farmers who are able to accelerate the transformation of Indonesian agriculture. This activity is an important momentum in strengthening the synergy between the world of vocational education and national agricultural development policies. Politani Samarinda affirms its commitment to continue to play an active role in producing superior, characterful, and adaptive graduates to future agricultural challenges. (PR)

Samarinda, February 2025 – Today marks a milestone for Tanesa Publisher, which for the first time published a book by a foreign author. The book entitled Tsunami Maritime Response and Mitigation Strategy at the Port of Bellingham is a translation of the original work Tsunami Maritime Response and Mitigation Strategy – Port of Bellingham, compiled by experts from the Washington Military Department, Emergency Management Division, in collaboration with various academic and government institutions in the United States. This book is the result of collaboration with Herdiana Mutmainah, ST, MT, who acts as the translation editor. Herdiana Mutmainah is a researcher at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), with expertise in Coastal Engineering. She completed her Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Gadjah Mada University (2002) and her Master's degree in Regional and City Planning at the Bandung Institute of Technology (2010). Her career began at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in 2006, before becoming a researcher in 2015. Her various written works have been published in national and international journals and proceedings. This book provides in-depth insights into tsunami threat mitigation and response strategies in coastal areas, with a special focus on the Port of Bellingham in Washington, USA. As the state with the second highest earthquake risk in the United States, Washington is directly exposed to the threat from the Cascadia Subduction Zone which can produce earthquakes of more than 9 SR, triggering tsunami waves as high as 18 meters. Not only discussing the theory and definition of tsunamis, this book also provides technical guidance, policy recommendations, and mitigation strategies based on real experiences. Complete with comprehensive graphs, maps, and photo documentation, this book is an important reference for the government, port managers, academics, and coastal communities in improving tsunami disaster preparedness. The launch of this book is a major step for Tanesa Publishers in expanding the scope of its publications to the international realm. With the publication of this book, it is hoped that more quality scientific literature from various parts of the world can be translated and accessed by readers in Indonesia.
