Judul: Keragaan Kelas Sosial Dalam Perilaku Adopsi Inovasi : Studi Kasus di Desa Mekarsari, Kecamatan Cipaku, Kabupaten Ciamis
Abstrak: Praktek lapang ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara status seseorang di dalam masyarakat dengan wawasan perilaku adopsi inovasi orang tersebut. Sebaliknya juga dilihat apakah pengadopsian inovasi akan mempertinggi status orang tersebut di dalam masyarakat. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara dan pengamatan langsung di lapangan, dan data sekunder didapat dari data potensi desa. Analisis data lebih banyak menggunakan teknik analisa deskriptif. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara kelas sosial dengan wawasan perilaku adopsi inovasi masyarakat. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari lebih banyaknya persentase responden pada kelas atas yang menerapkan inovasi sepenuhnya dibandingkan dengan responden pada kelas di bawahnya. Pada program penterasan, persentase responden pada kelas atas yang menerapkan sepenuhnya adalah 100%, pada kelas menengah 80% responden menerapkan sepenuhnya dan 20% menerapkan sebagian, dan pada kelas bawah 70% responden menerapkan sepenuhnya, 20% menerapkan sebagian, dan 10% tidak menerapkan.

Judul: Difusi inovasi telepon seluler di perdesaan (kasus desa Kemang Bojongpicung, kabupaten Cianjur, provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: By referring to the diffusion of innovation theory, this study found that the adoption rates of mobile phone among the adopters in the two hamlets are low; it is about 28 per cent and 17 per cent for Beber and Cikupa hamlets respectively. Although the mobile phone exposure of Kemang Village community started about 15 years ago, the majority of people in Kemang Village adopted the mobile phone since the Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) of XL and Telkomsel were constructed in this village, in 2008 and 2010 respectively. The plot result of mobile phone adopter of the two hamlets was in S Curve shape. On the other hand, as not all the mobile phone adopters of the two hamlets were surveyed, the mobile phone adopters’ categories are not in normal distribution. It caused the plot of adopters categories is not in Bell-shaped curve. Therefore, the distribution of the mobile phone adopter categories did not support the theory of adopters’ category as stated by Rogers and Shoemaker (1971). However, this study supported another Rogers and Shoemaker’s generalization with regard to the fact that the individual characteristic of innovator category is higher than that of the other adopters’ categories. There are each four independent variables which significantly related to the rate of innovativeness as well as adoption rates at the significance level of 0.05. The independent variables which related to innovativeness rate were the level of relative advantage, the individual integration level, the formal educational level and the level of individual need toward the mobile phone innovation, while for the adoption rate were the level of observability, the interpersonal communication individual level, the meeting frequency, and the promotion of mobile phone agency/seller. There were five of nine mobile phone use patterns which developed dominantly by the adopters in the two hamlets, especially phone call/text messages to: the nucleus family (22,67 per cent) peer group and the combination of peer group and business partner, and distance relatives (each 17,33 per cent), only distance relatives (16 per cent), as well as phone call/text messages to business partner only, and the combination of nucleus family and peer group (each 9,33 percent). It seems that this mobile phone use patterns caused the irrational over adoption of mobile pone is dominant, especially for those who used the mobile phone only for consumptive activities.

Judul: Gambaran darah komodo (Varanus komodoensis) di Taman Margasatwa Ragunan
Abstrak: This study was conducted to get the hematology and blood biochemistry profile of Komodo dragons at Ragunan Zoo. A total of 18 adult dragons were used. Blood was drawn as much as 2 mL whole blood for hematology and 3 mL for blood biochemistry in serum. Hematology examinations were done by automatic hemavet® machine except differential leukocytes were done manually and blood biochemistry examinations were done by biosystem® machine. Examinations results of erythrocyte parameters of total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, and MCHC in row are (1,24±0,21) × 106/mm3, (38,0±4,6) %, (13,3±1,6) g/dL, (311,4±49,9) fL, (109,4±18,7) pg, and (35,1±1,2) g/dL. Trombocytes count is (3,1±1.6) × 103/mm3 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate is (3,9 ± 1.7) mm/h. Leukocytes parameters indicate the values of total leukocytes, heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils in row are (6,53±9,47) × 103/mm3, (3,478±4,972) × 103/mm3, (2,959±4,694) × 103/mm3, (0,096±0,187) × 103/mm3, (0,00) /mm3, and (0,00) /mm3. Biochemical parameters indicate the values of total protein, albumin, globulin, AST, ALT, urea, and creatinine in row are (10,19±3,39) g/dL, (2,51±0,39) g/dL, (7,68±3,07) g/dL, (49,39±20,71) IU/L, (45,39±27,88) IU/L, (13,53±5,88) mg/dL, and (0,29±0,11) mg/dL. The result of examinations averagely showed values tend to normal. Some individual results demonstrated abnormalities which are suspected as acute infection in 1 dragon, foliculogenesis in 1 dragon, muscle disease in 2 dragons, and liver disease in 5 dragons.
