Judul: Technology model in broiler agroindustry partnership system
Abstrak: Technology management has in the last few years emerged as an important issue in companies. This kind of management encompasses four technological components, namely technoware, humanware, inforware and orgaware which are simply abbreviated as THIO. Each technological component contains various specified key factors which allegedly influence the attainment of a business success, particularly in a plasma broiler poultry breeder managed under the supervision as well as management of what so-called Perusahaan Inti Rakyat (PIR) or a core company. This study was aimed at unveiling the influence of the key factors belonging to each technological component toward the attainment of the business success in a plasma broiler supervised by the core company on the PIR. Field survey method by means of questionnaires were used to collect primary and secondary data of the core company whilst Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method was used to analyze the data. During 2007-2009 period, field study was conducted to collect data from 27 well-managed plasma broiler in West Java’s regencies of Karawang, Subang and Indramayu under the supervision of PT Sahabat Ternak Abadi (STA) as a main company. Data analysis revealed that the technologies applied by STA were absolutely good and important to support the success of partnership being accomplished. Some of the key factors having significant influences on the partnership being accomplished were apparently the net profit, payback period and productivity growth. The Technoware component comprises three latent variables, i.e., the cage, the chicken treatment, and pest as well as disease control. Each latent variable was influenced by cage size included height (180 cm) and wall (200 cm), chicken’s mortality rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR) which in live with standard applied by main company, and cage management. The humanware component was determined by human technical ability, motivation, curiosity, sense of responsibility, goal-setting, readiness for changes, and work discipline. Meanwhile the inforware component was dictated by the type of information sources, internal information, external information, validity of the information and data, access to as well as ease of acquiring the information, information cost, communication channel, trust toward the information source, information value, and feed-back. Factors influencing the orgaware component is leadership style, self-motivation, drive for achievement, maturity, tasks assignment, responsibility, independence in work, planning ability, strategic thinking, pride in partnership, development opportunity, sensitivity to changes in business, technology orientation, willingness to be in a partnership with and balance in incentives and risks. Based on financial analyses, partnership enterprises is more beneficial than a self- managed broiler enterprises in the case of longevity and continuity. A farmer with 5,000 broilers per production cycle which were managed under the partnership pattern resulted in an annual average profit, losses, lower limit of profit, NPV and payback period of Rp33,991,776.30, 0.000058, Rp 33,987,866.20, Rp211,239,574.00 and four (4) years, respectively, whilst the self-managed pattern of the same production cycle produce in Rp29,577,620.00, 0,0000977, Rp29,571,840.00, Rp151,459,522.00 and six (6) years, respectively.

Judul: Lumut Suku Dicranaceae Khususnya Dicranoloma di Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (Sumatra)
Abstrak: Lumut merupakan kelompok tumbuhan yang tidak memiliki berkas pembuluh. Tumbuhan ini memiliki peranan sebagai indikator kelembapan dalam ekosistem hutan. Dicranaceae merupakan kelompok lumut sejati yang umum ditemukan di hutan hujan tropis dataran rendah hingga hutan hujan pegunungan. Dicranoloma merupakan salah satu marga yang termasuk ke dalam suku Dicranaceae. Marga ini mudah dikenali di lapangan berdasarkan daunnya yang panjang dan kosta yang menyempit. Keanekaragaman jenis Dicranoloma yang telah dilaporkan di Sumatra hanya setengah dari total jenis yang diketahui berada di Malesia. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa keanekaragaman Dicranoloma masih sedikit dilaporkan di Sumatra. Meski demikian, kawasan hutan hujan tropis di Sumatra telah berkurang karena perubahan penggunaan lahan. Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL) merupakan kawasan konservasi yang menyediakan perlindungan bagi jenis tumbuhan termasuk lumut sejati. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi dan mencatat keanekaragaman Dicranaceae khususnya Dicranoloma TNGL dalam melengkapi daftar jenis lumut sejati Sumatra. Spesimen lumut sejati dikoleksi di sepanjang jalur pendakian di Gayo Luwes dari Rainforest Lodge Kedah hingga Puncak Angkasan di TNGL (1417-2925 mdpl). Spesimen di Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) juga diamati untuk melengkapi informasi yang dibutuhkan selama penelitian ini. Karakter morfologi pada fase gametofit dan sporofit digunakan untuk membuat kunci identifikasi dan deskripsi jenis yang tercatat di TNGL. Sebanyak 25 jenis Dicranaceae ditemukan di TNGL. Lumut tersebut tumbuh pada substrat yang bervariasi yaitu pada tanah, kayu lapuk, batang dan cabang pohon. Marga Dicranoloma memiliki variasi pada karakter gametofit yaitu perawakan (tegak atau menggantung), unting pusat pada batang (ada atau tidak), permukaan batang (rambut menggimbal banyak, rambut menggimbal sedikit, atau tidak ada rambut menggimbal), daun (bentuk, tepi ujung daun, ketebalan dinding sel alar, kehadiran papila pada abaksial kosta). Daun berbentuk membundar telur-melanset, menyegitiga, dan melanset. Tepi ujung daun halus, bergigi, dan bergigi ganda. Sel alar berdinding tipis atau berdinding tebal. Abaksial kosta dengan atau tanpa papilla. Variasi karakter sporofit yang diamati pada marga ini adalah jumlah seta tiap perikaetium, orientasi dan bentuk kapsul. Jumlah seta yaitu satu, dua atau enam tiap perikaetium. Kapsul menyilindris atau menyilindris-melengkung, tegak atau tercondong masuk. Terdapat 10 jenis Dicranaceae yang diketahui sebagai catatan baru untuk Sumatra yaitu Braunfelsia enervis, Braunfelsia edentula, Campylopus austrosubulatus, Dicranodontium asperulum, Dicranodontium uncinatum, Dicranoloma dicarpum, Dicranoloma eucamptodontoides, Dicranoloma rugifolium, Ditrichum flexicaule, Leucoloma amoene-virens, dan Dicranoloma sp. Jenis terakhir mirip dengan D. assimile tetapi berwarna kekuningan, tidak memiliki rambut menggimbal dan unting pusat. Tiga jenis catatan baru Dicranoloma menambah jumlah jenis Dicranoloma di Sumatra yang sebelumnya diketahui berjumlah tujuh jenis yaitu D. assimile, D. blumii, D. billardieri, D. braunii, D. brevisetum, D. daymannianum dan D. reflexum. Dicranoloma dicarpum sebelumnya hanya dilaporkan di New Guinea, Australasia dan Taiwan. Persebaran Dicranoloma eucamptodontoides sebelumnya mencakup Australia dan New Zealand sedangkan Dicranoloma rugifolium dilaporkan hanya dari New Guinea.
