Judul: Jejaring Sosial Dan Konflik Masyarakat Pedesaan (Kasus Di Pulau Saparua Propinsi Maluku)
Abstrak: Konflik Maluku adalah konflik yang diawali oleh pertikaian antara dua individu berbeda etnis di Kota Ambon. Pertikaian tersebut kemudian melebar menjadi konflik antar pendatang dan penduduk asli. Akhirnya konflik bergeser menjadi konflik bernuansa agama, yaitu antara mereka yang beragama Islam (Salam) dengan Protestan dan Katolik (Sarani). Konflik yang terjadi menyebar sampai ke wilayah lain di luar Pulau Ambon meliputi Pulau-pulau Seram, Buru, Saparua, Haruku bahkan kemudian sampai ke seluruh wilayah Maluku termasuk Maluku Utara. Kejadian konflik berfluktuatif selama hampir enam tahun, sejak tahun 1999 sampai pertengahan tahun 2004. Hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu menjelaskan penyebab konflik Maluku adalah persaingan penduduk asli dengan pendatang, pertarungan elit lokal Salam dan Sarani dalam memperebutkan posisi di bidang pemerintahan, serta penetrasi Undang-Undang Pemerintahan Desa yang meminggirkan budaya lokal yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Namun hasil-hasil penelitian tersebut, belum menjelaskan penyebab konflik di pedesaan Maluku.

Abstrak: Social networking and conflict understanding in rural community is the important step in finding strategy of conflict resolution. Through qualitative research technique, it is known that there is a relation between the flow of people who were going out-in Saparua Island to fill their needs, change into flow and networking of people who were coming home to rural areas which create conflict. All villages, so called negeri, which are known by Saparua Island community, get the impact of social networking which creates conflict. Social conflict which first based on agrarian problem then developed and added with the impact of religion and politic problem, just like conflict source in Ambon Island. Although, in the next development kinship and adat relation are taking important role in taking care of community rules. The strategy needs to be followed by establishment of natural resources and land property rights existence of society. Without this step, rural community in Saparua Island still has conflict potential. Process of this step needs to be done equal with adat relation development in Latupati Association level. With that step, rural community of this island will have social institution as a forum to have root communication. An institution which can be potency of society prevents sustainable and long reconflict.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
