Judul: Participation and Sustainability of Woman Farmers Group in Municipal Waste Management (Case: KWT Berkah TPS3R Mutiara Bogor Raya)
Abstrak: KWT adalah kelompok petani perempuan yang bergerak di bidang pertanian, pada dasarnya dibentuk untuk memberdayakan dan mensejahterakan perempuan. Kegiatan KWT di perkotaan banyak melakukan pertanian di lahan sempit serta turut mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan. Pertanian yang dilakukan KWT Berkah merupakan bagian dari pengelolaan sampah yang dilakukan oleh KRL Katulampa. KWT memanfaatkan hasil olahan sampah untuk meningkatkan potensi ekonomi dan mengurangi produksi sampah ke TPA. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan tingkat partisipasi KWT dengan keberlanjutannya dalam program pengelolaan sampah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung data kualitatif. Data kuantitatif dikumpulkan dengan metode penelitian survei dan menggunakan kuesioner sebagai instrumen penelitian. Data kualitatif dikumpulkan dengan wawancara mendalam sebagai instrumen penelitian. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode sensus dan responden penelitian merupakan seluruh anggota KWT Berkah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan antara partisipasi anggota KWT Berkah terhadap keberlanjutan program pengeloaan sampah KRL Katulampa., KWT is a group of women farmers engaged in agriculture, basically formed to empower and improve the welfare of women. KWT activities in urban areas usually carry out farming on limited land and also overcome environmental problems. The farming activity by KWT Berkah is part of the waste management carried out by KRL Katulampa, a local waste management community. KWT utilizes waste-product to increase economic potential and reduce waste production to landfill. This research aims to determine and analyze the correlation of participation through KWT Berkah towards the sustainability of waste management program. The research method used is a combination of a quantitative approach using questionnaires, and supported by a qualitative data using in-depth interviews. The method used to collect data is through census with all of KWT Berkah members as research respondents. The results show that there is correlation between KWT community participation with the sustainability of the KRL Katulampa waste management program.

Judul: Tingkat Partisipasi Anggota Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) dalam Program Kawasan Rumah Pangan Lestari (KRPL) (Kasus: Kelurahan Beji, Kecamatan Nguntoronadi, Kabupaten Wonogiri).
Abstrak: KRPL menggunakan konsep optimalisasi pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan. Pemanfaatan pekarangan secara intensif dengan penanaman berbagai sumberdaya lokal untuk menciptakan ketahanan pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat partisipasi dan keberlanjutan Program KRPL. Metode lapang yang digunakan yaitu pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung data kualitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan jumlah responden 60 orang yang dipilih dengan simple random sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh faktor internal dan faktor eksternal terhadap tingkat partisipasi masyarakat, faktor internal yang berpengaruh yaitu pada variabel pendapatan dan tingkat pendidikan, sedangkan semua variabel faktor eksternal (peran pendampingan PPL, kondisi lahan, bantuan bahan tanam, ketersediaan alat dan sarana pertanian) berpengaruh terhadap partisipasi anggota. Pengaruh tingkat partisipasi masyarakat terhadap keberlanjutan Program KRPL yang signifikan. Kata kunci: ketahanan pangan, partisipasi, pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan ENDAH LESTARI. Participation of Women Farmers Group Members in Kawasan Rumah Pangan Lestari Programme (Case: Beji Village, Nguntoronadi Subdistrict, Wonogiri Regency) Supervised by NINUK PURNANINGSIH. KRPL uses the concept of optimizing land use. Utilization of intensive land with conservation of various local resources to create food security. This study tries to analyze the factors that influence the level of participation and sustainability of the KRPL Program. The field method used a quantitative supported by qualitative data. This study used a survey method with the number of respondents 60 people selected by simple random sampling. The results showed that there were influences of internal factors and external factors on the level of community participation, related internal factors, namely income and education levels, while all external factors (the role of PPL assistance, land conditions, assistance with planting materials, assistance with agricultural tools and facilities) ) contribute to member participation. Effect of a significant level of community participation on the sustainability of the KRPL Program.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
