Judul: Hubungan Kebutuhan Belajar dengan Kemampuan Aksara dan Dampaknya terhadap Pemberdayaan Perempuan (Program Keaksaraan Dasar Kampung Anyar, Desa Urug, Sukajaya, Bogor).
Abstrak: Pemberantasan buta aksara melalui Program keaksaraan dasar adalah salah satu bentuk pemberdayaan perempuan yang akan mempengaruhi pembangunan nasional. Upaya pemberdayaan perempuan bersifat strategis, karena perempuan yang telah melek aksara akan mempunyai kemandirian dan kepercayaan diri dalam mengatur perekonomian keluarga yang secara tidak langsung akan mengurangi kemiskinan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan kebutuhan belajar dengan kemampuan aksara warga belajar dan menganalisis dampaknya terhadap pemberdayaan perempuan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung oleh data kualitatif. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Analisis tabulasi silang dan uji statistik Rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kebutuhan belajar internal nonfisik dengan kemampuan membaca dan menulis. Hubungan yang signifikan juga terdapat pada kemampuan membaca dan menulis dengan pemberdayaan meliputi aspek pendidikan, aksesibilitas dan tindakan.

Judul: Peran program keaksaraan fungsional dalam mempertahankan kemampuan aksara warga belajar di PKBM saraga lekas insan mandiri Kecamatan Ciawi, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: This study aims to 1) analyze the role of “Keaksaraan Fungsional (KF)” in maintaining village people basic literacy, and to 2) evaluate its impact on the economy. The research was conducted by using survey method on 45 learning people in KF program. All respondents were women at 15 years and over. The study shows that people who joined the complete KF program have higher ability to maintain their basic literacy than those who were not. The KF program does not have direct impact in improving people economy. Some learning people benefitted from the KF program as they became literate their self confidence has also increased and became more self reliance.

Judul: Characterization and Expression of Tomato infectious chlorosis virus Coat Protein Gene in Escherichia coli
Abstrak: Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV) is a member of Crinivirus genus. TICV infects tomato crop in Garut and Cipanas, West Java Indonesia. Tomato initially showed bright interveinal yellowing symptoms. The coat protein gene (CP-TICV) was amplified by RT-PCR from total RNA extracted from infected tomato leaves and the amplified fragment was cloned and completely sequenced. The fragment was subsequently subcloned into the pET-21b expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed to Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3)pLysS to express the coat protein. The coat protein fused to a 6xhistag, was purified by affinity chromatography using a NiNTA spin column. The identity of the purified protein was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. In this experiment, 792 bp of CP-TICV gene of TICV virus has been successfully cloned, sequenced, and expressed in E. coli. Based on nucleotide sequences alignment analysis, TICV-Indonesia strain showed 100% identity to TICV –Spain strain and 99% identity to North America, France, and California strains and based on amino acid sequences alignment analysis, TICV-Indonesia strain showed 100% identity to TICV –Spain, North America, France strains and 99.2% identity to California strain. CP-TICV showed over expressed in E. coli when it is induced with 1 mM IPTG and incubated at 37oC. Purified CP-TICV-Histag recombinants protein sized 29 kDa based on SDSPAGE analysis.
