Judul: Analisis harga gabah dan tingkat pendapatan petani di lokasi program dana penguatan modal lembaga usaha ekonomi pedesaan (LUEP) (Kasus Kecamatan Pameungpeuk dan Bale Endah, Kabupaten Bandung)
Abstrak: Sasaran utama pembangunan pertanian tahun 2004-2009 terdapat tiga program pembangunan pertanian yaitu program peningkatan ketahanan pangan, pengembangan agribisnis dan peningkatan kesejahteraan petani. Peningkatan produksi padi ternyata belum mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani. Kondisi ini ditambah dengan keterbatasan petani dalam mengakses berbagai layanan seperti pembiayaan usahatani serta sulitnya pemasaran produk panen petani. Salah satu kebijakan pemerintah dalam menolong petani adalah kebijakan harga output yang dikenal dengan HPP. Tetapi kebijakan HPP saat panen dianggap masih rendah dan informasi mengenai HPP tidak sampai kepada petani, sehingga penetapan HPP nasional terkadang kurang memberikan solusi yang berarti. Sehingga pemerintah memberikan Dana Penguatan Modal Lembaga Usaha Ekonomi Pedesaan (DPM-LUEP) untuk menolong petani dalam rangka stabilisasi harga gabah terutama pada saat panen raya.

Judul: Analisis efektivitas bantuan dana penguatan modal lembaga usaha ekonomi pedesaan (DPM-LUEP ) (Studi kasus DPMLUEP Kabupaten Bogor)
Abstrak: Strengthening Assistance Capital Funds of Rural Economic Trade Organization (DPM-LUEP) is some amount of fund from national budget (APBN), which is allocated through de-concentrated funds for the paddy production centers as advanced funding to buy unpolished paddy/rice during the grant harvest with the buying price as determined by the government (HPP). DPM-LUEP is lent to the rural economic trade organization (LUEP) and it must be paid back to the government treasury as stipulated by the existing regulation. The objectives of this study were 1) to identify characteristic of DPM-LUEP recipient groups, 2) to identify factors effecting income/profit increase in DPM-LUEP recipients, 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of determining requirement processes, the mechanism of grouping, the distribution and the return of the funds.The method of analysis were 1) descriptive analysis, 2) profitability analysis, and 3) Focus Group Discussion (FGD) The DPM-LUEP recipient groups in Bogor regency are commonly those of small scale industries. This can be seen from their group organization with the number of workers between 5 to 19 persons, weak capital access, as well as weak administration and managerial groups. Similarly, their products were still marketed only in limited areas. The result of the profitability analysis showed that the factors capable of increasing income/profit for DPM-LUEP recipients were a) the effectiveness in purchasing the raw materials/unpolished rice (the cycles), b) the increased purchase of raw materials which eventually increased the outcome of the processed products, c) the decrease of the total cost to the sale income, especially the efficiency of the total variable cost, and d) the product stock taking while waiting for the increase of product sale price (rice) in the market. Based on the FGD, the dominant problems were found not only in the process of determining the requirements but also in the mechanism of LUEP grouping as well as the paying back of DPM-LUEP. The efforts necessary to overcome the problems to increase the effectiveness of decision and of DPM-LUEP distribution include organization strengthening and group management, service quality improvement, increasing the capability and the number of staff, and support of facilities and services. In addition, it is necessary to cut down the bureaucracy stages in the process of decision making and the distribution process of DPM-LUEP, provide fund reserve through provincial budget (APBD I) and district budget (APBD II), as well as to propose to the central authority to conduct more comprehensive research on requirement, decition making, distribution and the paying back of DPM-LUEP.

Judul: Photosensor producing based on ferroelectric material of Ba0,5Sr0,5TiO3 doped by Ferrium Oxide (Fe2O3) on a P-Type Silicon Substate Si (100) applied as a digital camera with a single pixel image sensor
Abstrak: Thin film Ba0,5Sr0,5TiO3 (BST) doped with Fe2O3 was grown on p-type silicon substrate (100) using chemical solution deposition (CSD). It used the solvent 2-methoxyethanol with annealing temperature of 850°C and the doping treatment Fe2O3 of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 % of the mass formed BST. Pure BST had the highest absorption of 600 nm of light wavelength. Additions Fe2O3 moves highest absorption in the range of 560 nm. Fe2O3 addition was strengthening thin film sensitivity to the effects of light. In general, doping Fe2O3 10% was result the best absorbance and current-voltage of BST thin film. Electrical properties of thin films BST include dielectric, photoconductivity, and dissipation energy. Based on the current-voltage (I-V) analysis, pure BST and doped BST showed photodiode properties. Dielectric values obtained in the range from 23.32 to 243. Based on electrical conductivity data and energy dissipation, BST thin films have shown photodiode characteristics and are therefore suitable as light sensors. The image sensor in a digital camera is also a light sensor. This BST thin film has been scientifically proven to be a light sensor and also it can be applied as an image sensor. This is a novelty image sensor based on thin film Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3.
