Judul: Persepsi, Sikap dan Perilaku Masyarakat Terhadap Kelestarian Hutan.(Studi Kasus di Desa Cinagara dan Desa Pasir Buncir Kecamatan Caringin, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Penelitian ini secara umum bertujuan untuk mengukur dan membandingkan tingkat persepsi, sikap dan perilaku masyarakat Model Desa Konservasi (MDK) dan non Konservasi di daerah penyangga Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni-Juli 2010 dengan pemilihan responden menggunakan metode Purposive sampling. Jumlah responden yang diambil adalah 30 responden tiap desa sehingga keseluruhan berjumlah 60 responden. Penyajian secara deskriptif digunakan untuk menjelaskan tanggapan yang diberikan berdasarkan nilai persentase jumlah responden. Penentuan nilai persepsi dan sikap untuk setiap tanggapan dilakukan dengan menggunakan Metoda Likert. Untuk mengetahui peubah yang mempengaruhi persepsi dan sikap dengan analisis regresi logistik biner program SPSS 15.0 Hasil penelitan menunjukan Desa Cinagara sebesar 76,67% mempunyai persepsi tinggi (positif) dan sebesar 23,33% mempunyai persepsi sedang (diantara positif dan negatif). Pada Desa Pasir Buncir sebesar 90%.mempunyai persepsi tinggi dan 10% mempunyai persepsi sedang. Persepsi yang berbeda pada kedua desa tersebut dibarengi dengan persentase sikap yang sama yaitu kategori sikap yang positif (tinggi) sebesar 83,33% dan sisanya 16,67% mempunyai sikap sedang (netral). Walaupun persepsi dan sikap masyarakat pada kedua desa berada pada kategosi tinggi tetapi masih bersifat antroposentrik yaitu lebih kepada kepentingan pribadi masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan hutan bukan atas kesadaran pribadi masyarakat terhadap hutan, sehingga kepedulian terhadap hutan masih kurang.

Judul: Persepsi, Motivasi dan Perilaku Masyarakat Sekitar Hutan dalam Pengelolaan Kawasan Hutan (Kasus Kawasan Hutan sekitar Desa Gunung Sari di Kecamatan Pamijahan, Kabupaten Bogor)

Empowering communities is the one of the important thing to preserve forests. The study assess the perceptions, motivations and behavior in using and managing forests. The method has been used was a structured interview (questionnaire) by taking a purposive sampling respondents, observation and literary study. The level of public perception for the existence of forest in the village of Gunung Sari is relatively good, whereas the public perception of the value of the economic functions of forests as sources of timber and additional income for poor households. Furthermore, the biggest motivation (35.48%) to manage forests based on the theory of Maslow (1943) was due to the need of security (safety needs), while the biggest behavior motivation based on the theory of Gerungan (1967) was group motif with a percentage of 32.26%. Behavior of people who used and managed the forest have been shown by utilizing water resources well, planted of forest trees, and didn’t convert land of the forest.

Judul: Evaluation of Influenza Antibody Titers in Serum and Egg Yolk of Layers Vaccinated with Influenza Vaccines.
Abstrak: Influenza belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family which causes upper and lower respiratory tract infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate influenza-A specific antibody titers from serum and egg yolk of hens vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza vaccines. Three Hy-line Brown layers were vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza type A and B inactivated vaccines. Vaccination was carried out three times at a dose of 0.25 ml/chicken via the intramuscular route. The first vaccination was carried out at 24 weeks of age, then boosters were performed at 28 and 32 weeks of age. Serum and egg yolk were collected every week for 20 weeks since the first vaccination. Influenza A H3N2 and H1N1 antibody titers were determined using hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test and agar-gel-precipitation (AGP) test. Influenza-A H3N2 and H1N1 specific antibodies were detected in both serum and egg yolk from the first to twenty weeks after the initial vaccination. Highest HI geometric mean titer (GMT) of H1N1 antibody reached 26.67 HIU at nine weeks post first vaccination (p.f.v), while H3N2 antibody reached 26 HIU at six weeks p.f.v. Our result showed that influenza antibodies can be produced in layers using quadrivalent vaccines and layer chickens are able to produce equivalent antibody levels for each influenza subtype.
