Judul: Efisiensi Produksi Usaha Pengolahan Gula Kelapa Kabupaten Banyumas Provinsi Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: Cilongok Subdisrict is the lagerst origin centers of palm sugar production center in Banyumas. The business of making palm sugar has been carried out to the next so that the business of making palm sugar is the main livelihood of the people in the Cilongol district. During palm sugar producers in District Cilongok make palm sugar in printed form, but these efforts have not been able to provide an economic improvement for the people working on it. Therefore, the local government by cooperation with the university created a coconut sugar alternatives in the form of powder or commonly referred to as granular sugar. The objective of this research is to analyze the general costs, revenues, profits and efficiency of use of factors of production print sugar and sugar processing SEMT in order to achieve the level of economic efficiency. In detail, the objective of this research are (1) to analyze the factors that affect print sugar and granular sugar processing business; (2) to analyze the level of technical efficiency, allocative efficiency and economic efficiency of sugar printing and granural sugar processing business; (3) analyze the costs, revenues and profits from sugar printing and granural sugar processing business and sugar granular. The model used is the stochastic frontier production function is Cobb-Douglas to analyze technical efficiency, cost function dual to analyze the allocative efficiency and cost analysis and revenue processing print sugar and sugar granular. The results of the sugar processing business printing and granular sugar business showed the craftsmen sugar granural income was much larger when compared to sugar producers print, ie respectively USD 2.35 million and USD 3.42 million. This occurd because the selling price of sugar granular are much higher than the selling price of sugar print. The average selling price of sugar print only Rp 7,582.86 per kilogram, while the average selling price of sugar granular could reach Rp 12,742.86 per kilogram. The main factors that affect the manufacture of sugar and sugar granullar print is coconut sap. Age of the coconut tress are old average in Sub Cilongok make quality juice produced less well, besides the lack maintenance performed on an existing coconut trees. Pengolaha business scale print sugar and granular sugar in District Cilongok arrives at the "increasing returns to scale" which indicates that the proportion of additional factors of production will result largest propotion of additional production.

Judul: Analisis efisiensi proses produksi untuk peningkatan kinerja industri gula tebu (Cane Sugar) (Studi kasus di PG. Jatiluhur Majalengka, Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Sugar is one of the most important commodities in Indonesia. Most of sugar manufacturing in Indonesia was owned or sun by Indonesian government. Sugar consumption rate cannot be fulfilled by local sugar manufacturer, that's why importing sugar became an option. The insignificant rate of increasing of sugar production every year make import rate is keep increasing Efficiency in sugar production process is one thing that need some attention. This time, most of sugar factory that owned by government are decreasing in productivity. PG Jatitujuh is sugar processing factory that processing cane into white crystal sugar (SHS) and one of sugar factory in Java that still runs well. Efficiency in sugar production process can be analyzed by using PG Jatitujuh production data. Analysis result shows that efficiency in sugar production process can be rendered, by optimalised increasing of imbibitions water. The optimum value of imbibitions water is 25-30 percent of processed cane. The decline of pol value in the amount of 0,01 percent is equal with 1,729 ton or equal with Rp. 8.297.865,- recovery sugar £rom bagasse. The decline of HK value in the amount of 0,01 percent is equal with 0,273 ton or equal with Rp. 1.3 12.524,- recovery sugar from molasses.

Judul: Psittacosis Sebagai Zoonosis Penting Yang Berasal Dari Burung
Abstrak: Psittacosis atau ornithosis adalah penyakit menular dari burung kepada manusia. Agens penyebab psittacosis termasuk ke dalam virus psittacosis-lymphogranuloma venereum group yang disebut Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci hanya dapat berkembang biak di dalam jaringan hidup tetapi peka terhadap antibiotik. Penyebaran penyakit ini sangat luas, terdapat hampir di seluruh dunia. Di Indonesia penyakit ini belum pernah di diagnosa, tetapi mengingat terdapat demikian banyaknya jenis burung maka diperkirakan psittacosis ini sudah ada. Kasus pada manusia pertamakali ditemukan oleh Ritter pada tahun 1879, di Eropa. Waktu itu dikenal sebagai pneumotyphus. Chlamydia psittaci tidak hanya sebagai penyebab infeksi pada burung, juga bisa menyebabkan infeksi pada mamalia diantaranya sapi, kerbau, kambing, domba, babi dan kucing. Pada kucing dikenal sebagai feline pneumonitis. Pada domba atau kambing mengakibatkan enzootic abortion. Pada burung, kalkun merupakan unggas paling rentan diikuti oleh burung psittacine dan burung lain di luar famili psittacidae. Virulensinyapun berbeda-beda. Yang berasal dari kalkun bervirulensi tinggi, sedangkan yang berasal dari burung merpati bisa bervirulensi tinggi bisa juga bervirulensi rendah. Penularan terjadi melalui kontak langsung maupun ti- dak langsung. Penularan melalui telur tidak terjadi. Umumnya penyakit ini memperlihatkan gejala klinis berupa deman, lesu, lemah, anorexia, kurus, diarrhea ber- warna kekuningan, discharge dari mata dan hidung, conjunc- tivitis. Gejala khas pada kalkun adalah istirahat dengan sternum sebagai dasarnya, karena adanya tekanan dari bagian perut yang sakit. Sedangkan pada manusia memperlihatkan adanya demam, kadang-kadang merasa dingin, lesu, sakit kepala yang hebat, sakit pada bagian belakang badan dan photophobia…dst
