Judul: Gender Analysis in Agroforestry Management (Case Study of PLN Pangalengan Area, Bandung).
Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan dan pembagian peran perempuan dan laki-laki dalam kegiatan pengelolaan agroforestri, dan menjelaskan faktor sosial ekonomi. Penelitian dilakukan di kawasan PLN Kecamatan Pangalengan, Kabupaten Bandung, Provinsi Jawa Barat pada bulan Maret 2011, dengan responden sebanyak 30 rumah tangga. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa peran perempuan dalam pengelolaan agroforestri lebih rendah daripada peran laki-laki. Ditujukan dengan rendahnya curahan waktu perempuan pada kegiatan produktif yang hanya sebesar 41,9%, sedangkan laki-laki mencapai 80%. Namun berbanding terbalik pada hasil penelitian di curahan waktu kegiatan reproduktif. Perempuan lebih mendominasi laki-laki. Pengambilan keputusan di bidang pengelolaan Agroforestri lebih didominasi oleh suami. Sedangkan masalah keuangan dan masalah yang menyangkut kepentingan bersama diambil secara bersama-sama antara suami dan istri. Pada kegiatan reproduktif seperti penentuan menu makanan para istri lebih dipercaya untuk mengambil keputusan. Dengan adanya peran dan pembagian kerja antara suami istri yang baik maka terlihat bahwa pada petani agroforestri di lahan PLN kecamatan Pangalengan kesetaraan gender terjalin dengan baik.

Judul: Gender Analysis in Community Forest Management and Its Contribution to Household Income in Nanggung District, Bogor Regency
Abstrak: Pengelolaan hutan yang melibatkan laki-laki dan perempuan akan memberikan manfaat yang besar dan mendukung tercapainya kesetaraan gender sebagai bagian dari perwujudan SDGs. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pembagian kerja dan partisipasi perempuan dan laki-laki pada pengelolaan hutan rakyat, serta menganalisis kontribusinya terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga. Data dikumpulkan dengan cara studi literatur dan wawancara. Responden berjumlah 30 rumah tangga petani hutan rakyat yang diambil dengan cara purposive sampling dan dikelompokan berdasarkan strata kepemilikan lahan. Suami memiliki curahan waktu kerja yang lebih besar dan berperan dominan dalam pengambilan keputusan kegiatan produktif hutan rakyat, masalah pasca produksi pengelolaan hutan rakyat, pengelolaan keuangan hutan rakyat, dan aktivitas sosial. Sedangkan istri memiliki curahan waktu kerja yang besar dan berperan dominan dalam pengambilan keputusan masalah domestik keluarga. Kontribusi pendapatan hutan rakyat terbesar diperoleh oleh rumah tangga pemilik lahan starta 1. Namun, usaha hutan rakyat berkontribusi paling kecil terhadap pendapatan total rumah tangga, sedangkan usaha di luar pertanian (dagang) yang umumnya dilakukan oleh perempuan berkontribusi paling besar terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga., Community forest management that involves men and women will provide enormous benefits and support the gender equality as part of the realization of the SDGs. This study aims to identify the division of labor and participation of women and men in community forest management, and to analyze their contribution to household income. Data were collected by means of literature studies and interviews. Respondents were 30 farmer households selected purposively and then grouped based on land ownership strata. Husbands have high amount of time spent working at community forest and play dominant role on the decision making for productive activities at community forest, as well as decision making on post-production , community forest financial management, and social activities. Meanwhile, the wife has high amount of time spent working on domestic activities and plays dominant role on the decision making of domestic family matters. The largest contribution of community forest income was found received by households with largest land ownership (> 1 ha) . However, community forest contributed the least to total household income, while non-farm activity (petty trading) which are generally carried out by women, has the highest income contribution to the households.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
