Judul: Analysis of the Impact of Participation on the Welfare of Community Based Forest Management Participant with SEM-PLS at BKPH Sadang KPH Purwakarta
Abstrak: Pengelolaan hutan bersama masyarakat (PHBM) memberikan hak kepada masyarakat sekitar hutan untuk mengelola dan memanfaatkan sumber daya hutan secara legal untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) dengan model mediasi dan moderasi. Kesejahteraan masyarakat dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal, faktor eksternal, dan tingkat partisipasi dalam program PHBM. Tingkat partisipasi terdiri atas perencanaan kegiatan, pelaksanaan kegiatan, pemanfaatan hasil, dan pemantauan. Faktor internal dan faktor eksternal berpengaruh secara nyata terhadap tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam program PHBM. Faktor eksternal dan tingkat partisipasi berpengaruh nyata terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat. Moderasi hubungan kelembagaan, pendidikan, dan jumlah anggota keluarga dalam PHBM memberikan pengaruh nyata bagi tingkat partisipasi terhadap kesejahteraan, Community based forest management (CBFM) gives the right to communities around the forest to manage and utilize forest resources legally to improve the welfare. The research aims to identify and analyze the factors that influence community welfare. The analysis used in the research is Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with mediation and moderation models. Community welfare is influenced by internal factors, external factors, and the level of participation in the CBFM program. The level of participation consists of planning activities, implementing activities, utilizing results, and monitoring. Internal factors and external factors significantly affect the level of community participation in the CBFM program.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
