Judul: Desain ekopesantren dalam kerangka pembangunan berkelanjutan
Abstrak: Developing environmental awareness among Muslims in Indonesia is an important effort and should continue to get attention. There was no resistance in the Islamic scholars in Indonesia when talking about environmental issues, because they had seen very severe environmental damage and disasters in Indonesia. This dissertation tries to formulate a design for the environmentally friendly Islamic Boarding School Program (Ecopesantren) on the framework of sustainable development. The research conducted in purposive sampling to the three Pesantren in West Java and Banten Province, was done at the leading pesantren (Pesantren Induk) in both provinces: Daar El Qolaam, Banten, Al Musaddadiyah, Garut and Pesantren Buntet, Cirebon. The research was conducted using complex pairs of research series such as Participatory Action Research (PAR), Institutional Development Framework (IDF), Non-Parametric Spearman Correlation, Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). In general, the findings show that according to the IDF index (I) for institutional and resource management, human resources, external resources, and financial resources, all the three institutions scale ranges at the IDF(I) 3- 4, which shows that the institution was mature and sustainable. But for the activities related to environmental programs the index IDF (I) points on a scale of 1-2 which refers to the early stages. On the other hand the status of environmental awareness in all the students indicated that they have moderate level of sustainable development awareness (mean=3.86; sd=0.86). They also believe Islam teaches about environment -- Islamic environmentalism – guiding to good practice towards the environment (90.38%). The expert survey suggests that the purpose of the ecopesantren program should mainstream the social and cultural aspect (AHP=0.443), it also recommends that the government (Ministry of Environment – MoE) has an important role (AHP=0.301) in supporting the ecopesantren program. The MoE can initiate the formation of a "National Ecopesantren Team (TNE)" in cooperation with local governments and institutions , in order to initiate a national program of ecopesantren. On the other hand, it is necessary for the pesantren internally to form an “environmental task force” that is responsible for creating programs tailored to local environment-related issues and priorities. Besides the capacitybuilding necessary to transform the ecopesantren program, it is necessary to perform monitoring and evaluation of a tailored action plan that can achieve the targets set.

Judul: Ecological Movement as the Manifestation of Theological Value (Case Study in the Pesantren Al Amin, Sukabumi, and Pesantren Daarul Ulum Lido, Bogor)
Abstrak: Pesantren is an indigenous Islamic based education institution in Indonesia. Currently, some of the Pesantren in Indonesia began to address ecological issues in their curricula as well as in their daily life. This research attempts to portray and explore the dynamic of ecological movement in the Pesantren with Kyai (Guru), Santri (student) and Quran (holy book) as the prime focus of analysis. In this study, the ecological movement in Pesantren is perceived as a manifestation of their meaning process toward the construction of ecological theology. The study was carried out in two Pesantren i.e. the Al-Amin of Sukabumi and the Darul Ulum Lido of Bogor. Al-Amin is a traditional type of boarding school where informal relations and traditional leadership coloring the daily life of Pesantren. Meanwhile, Daarul Ulum Lido is a portrait of modern Pesantren that merge or combine formal-based public education and religious-based education with formal relations and rational-legal type of leadership becomes the identity. The results show that the ecological movement in both Pesantren was manifested differently due to two important factors. First, the interpretation, meaning and construction of Islamic theological ecology in each Pesantren are solely based upon the knowledge and spiritual reflection of the Kyai. Second, the conservation knowledge developed in each Pesantren is also a result of relations and knowledge exchange between Pesantren and external actors. Different meaning of conservation that adopted by external actors could differentiate the manifestation of ecological movement in Pesantren. In Pesantren Al Amin, their interpretation and meaning to ecological theology are manifested in tree planting. Meanwhile, at Pesantren Darul Ulum Lido, it is manifested in the form of harim zone (no take zone). This Darul Ulum type of conservation is a result of their close relations and interaction with an international conservation NGO. Though seems preliminary and need more evidences, the ecological movement in Pesantren shows a positive direction towards the deep ecology movement.

Judul: Karakterisasi molekuler virus gemini asal tanaman tomat
Abstrak: Virus gemini merupakan salah satu kelompok patogen utama yang menyerang dan menimbulkan kerusakan yang besar pada tanaman sayuran di daerah tropik dan sub tropik. Pada umumnya kerugian yang ditimbulkan oleh adanya suatu epidemi berkisar antara 30%-100%. Gejala tanaman tomat yang terinfeksi oleh virus gemini kadangkala mirip dengan gejala yang disebabkan oleh infeksi virus yang lain khususnya Potyviridae dan Tobamoviridae. Dengan demikian, gejala penyakit saja tidak cukup untuk digunakan dalam mengidentifikasi virus gemini. Pengetahuan tentang karakter molekuler virus gemini pada tanaman tomat yang bergejala menjadi sangat penting dalam mengidentifikasi virus gemini tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengamati gejala luar, melakukan purifikasi dan mempelajari beberapa karakter molekuler virus gemini asal tanaman virus tomat. Karakter molekuler yang dipelajari meliputi ukuran dan jenis asam nukleat serta ukuran protein. Deteksi virus dengan metode polymerase chain reaction (PCR) dilakukan untuk memperkuat hasil analisis karakter molekuler.
