Judul: Analisis Efektivitas Program Kampus desa di Bogor
Abstrak: Kampus desa merupakan salah satu program pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis swadaya dalam rangka transfer ilmu pengetahuan maupun teknologi bagi masyararakat. Kampus desa bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi bagi masyarakat terhadap permasalahan di bidang yang ditekuni. Program ini memerlukan partisipasi dari masyarakat. Konsep partisipasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah konsep Cohen dan Uphoff (1980) yang menjelaskan partisipasi sebagai keikutsertaan peserta pada tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, evaluasi, dan menikmati hasil.Tingkat efektivitas diukur dengan menggunakan indikator pemahaman program, ketepatan sasaran, tujuan, waktu, dan hasil. Faktor internal adalah karakteristik peserta yaitu usia, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, frekuensi kehadiran, dan jenis profesi. Faktor eksternal adalah hubungan yang terjalin antar stakeholder dalam bentuk dukungan penyelenggara program, dukungan sponsor, dan dukungan pendamping. Berdasarkan uji hubungan menggunakan Rank Spearman dan uji Chi-Square, hanya frekuensi kehadiran yang memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan tingkat partisipasi. Namun faktor eksternal tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan tingkat partisipasi. Begitu pula tingkat partisipasi secara keseluruhan tidak memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan tingkat efektivitas.

Judul: Partisipasi Masyarakat dan Efektivitas Program Ecovillage Desa Bendungan, Kecamatan Ciawi, Kabupaten Bogor.
Abstrak: Partisipasi masyarakat Desa Bendungan dalam merespon pengelolaan lingkungan ditingkat lokal sangat penting bagi keberlanjutan sumberdaya alam. Dukungan modal sosial yang tinggi diharapkan akan mempengaruhi tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam program Ecovillage. Tingkat efektivitas program Ecovillage didukung dari partisipasi dan modal sosial masyarakat Desa Bendungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan karakteristik peserta ecovillage, modal sosial, partisipasi masyarkat dan efektivitas program. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Bendungan, Kecamatan Ciawi, Kabupaten Bogor. Penentuan responden dilakukan melalui teknik sensus yang disebar kepada 33 anggota peserta program Ecovillage. Modal sosial berhubungan positif nyata dengan tingkat partisipasi masyarakat sedangkan pada karakteristik peserta ecovillage dengan modal sosial dan partisipasi berhubungan negatif. Tingkat partisipasi masyarakat berhubungan positif nyata dengan efektivitas program ecovillage.

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
