Judul: Hubungan tingkat partisipasi dan efektivitas kegiatan SPP PNPM (kasus: Desa Talagasari, Kecamatan Kadungora, Kabupaten Garut)
Abstrak: Indonesia memiliki program yang berfokus pada pemberdayaan masyarakat. Program tersebut adalah “Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (PNPM) Mandiri”. Salah satu kegiatannnya yaitu kegiatan Simpan Pinjam Perempuan (SPP). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) menganalisis tingkat partisipasi pada tiap tahap, (2) menganalisis efektivitas kegiatan SPP PNPM, (3) menganalisis hubungan antara partisipasi anggota dengan efektivitas kegiatan SPP. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Oktober sampai Desember 2015 di ditentukan secara sengaja. Responden pada penelitian dipilih secara acak sederhana dengan kategori tambahan yaitu sudah bergabung minimal 2 tahun pada kelompok di kegiatan SPP. Pengolahan data menggunakan dua perangkat lunak yaitu Microsoft Excel dan SPSS 2.0

Judul: Partisipasi perempuan dalam kegiatan simpan pinjam kelompok perempuan (SPP) (kasus PNPM Mandiri perdesaan di salah satu desa di kabupaten Banyumas)
Abstrak: Population of poor in Indonesia is not significantly decreasing. In consequence, Government perform strategies to overcome the problem. One of them is by launching the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM) Independent Rural Areas. There are three activities suggested in PNPM Independent Rural Areas, they are Women group Savings and Loans (SPP), Facilities and Infrastructure Developments and the Life Quality Improvements. This research focuses on the activities in the SPP and is expected to contribute women in improving their welfare. The purposes of this research are to analyze the internal and external factors which are closely related to the level of women participation in the Women Group Savings and Loans and to analyze the relationship between the women participation with the success rate of SPP activity. Meanwhile, the determination of the respondents number is set by non-proportional method. This research operated survey method with quantitative which is supported by qualitative approach. Quantitative data obtained by interviewing the women of SPP members based on planned questionnaire guide. While, the qualitative data is obtained by interviewing the parties who were involved in the activities. The results showed that age was the only internal factor in the activities of SPP which is closely linked to women participation. However, external factors did not closely linked with women participation level dan participation level with the sucsess rate of the SPP activity.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
