Judul: Competence and powerness of the cattle farmers to improving beef business (case on West Seram, Mollucas)
Abstrak: The research objectives are: (1) To find out and describe the factors related to the competencies and capabilities of farmers due to manage and improving beef business, (2) To find out the level of cattle farmer competencies and develop the product, and (3) To formulate or to design a strategy how to improve cattle farmer powerness in We st Seram. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze quantitative data. From the five variable used to measure the cattle farmer competencies, it can be showed that only three of the variables significantly effect the farmer’s competencies. Those variable were human capital, physical capital and natural capital. The competencies level of the farmers on semi intensive and intensive care system were higher than extensive care system. The farmer entrepreneur competencies were higher than technical competencies. There’re significant effects of the human capital, social capital, physical capital and local government support to the powerness or capabilities of the farmers.

Abstrak: The objectives of this study were: I) to dcscribe the characteristic and external factors of sheep farmers at Barengkok village 2) to anal competency of sheep farmers at Barengkok village 3) to analyze correlation between characteristic and external factors of sheep farmers at Barengkok village. This study was conducted on Juni 2008 at Barengkok village. The amount of respondent was 60 farmers at Barengkok village. Primary data was obtained by of questionnaire and interview. Secondary data was obtained from relevant institutions sources. Data were analyzed by descriptive analyze and correlation analyze using rank Spearman and Chi square test. The result of study showed: 1) most farmers were young, less educated, have experience about having livestock are few, ownership of livestock are few, level of medium earning. Most farmers were never frequency of farmers in getting information about sheep farming operation, both newspaper, magazine, radio and television.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) Menggunakan Metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan Variasi Kecepatan Putar (Rpm).
Abstrak: Film tipis merupakan salah satu aspek yang mendapat perhatian sangat besar dalam bidang material, karena film tipis merupakan material menarik yang memiliki sifat optik yang sangat tergantung pada konstanta dielektrik, indeks bias, dan energi gap. Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) dapat digunakan sebagai pelapis pada film tipis karena memiliki sifat piezoelektrik, electrooptical, pyroelectrical dan photorefractive yang sangat baik. Film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) ditumbuhkan menggunakan metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan variasi kecepatan 3500 rpm, 5000 rpm, 6500 rpm, dan 8000 rpm. Metode ini memiliki keunggulan dapat mengontrol stokiometri film tipis dengan kualitas yang baik, prosedur yang mudah dan membutukan biaya yang relatif murah. Energi band gap yang dihasilkan dari film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) berkisar antara rentang 2.1 eV – 2.8 eV dengan indeks bias berada pada rentang 2.18-3.2. Film tipis LiNbO3 memiliki parameter kisi a=b=5.54Ǻ dan c = 16.35 Ǻ. Struktur morfologi film tipis adalah permukaan yang homogen dan ukuran kristal berada pada rentang 0.417 μm – 0.680 μm.
