Judul: Hubungan Komunikasi Kelompok Dengan Prestasi Belajar Siswa Sd (Kasus Siswa Kelas V Sdn Ciluar 2, Kabupaten Bogor).
Abstrak: Dunia pendidikan dasar memerlukan metode belajar yang dapat membangkitkan semangat belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: mengidentifikasi karakteristik siswa SD, pesan, dan saluran komunikasi, serta dukungan lingkungan sekolah dan orang tua, hubungannya karakteristik siswa SD, pesan, dan saluran komunikasi, serta dukungan dengan efektivitas komunikasi kelompok dan menganalisis hubungan efektivitas komunikasi kelompok dengan prestasi belajar siswa SDN Ciluar 2, Kabupaten Bogor. Dari hasil kerja kelompok maka dapat dilihat prestasi belajarnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif didukung data kualitatif dengan analisis data berupa analisis statistik deskripsi (frekuensi, persentase, dan tabulasi silang) dan analisis inferensial. Pengolahan data menggunakan uji korelasi rank Spearman. Hasil yang didapatkan bahwa siswa kelas V pada umumnya berusia sebelas tahun dengan jumlah siswa perempuan kelas V lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan siswa laki-laki dan siswa kelas V pada umumnya beretnis Sunda. Karakteristik pesan verbal termasuk kategori tinggi dan karakteristik pesan non verbal termasuk kategori sedang adapun karakteristik saluran komunikasi interpersonal termasuk kategori sedang dan karakteristik saluran komunikasi bermedia termasuk kategori sedang. Dukungan guru termasuk kategori tinggi dan dukungan orangtua termasuk kategori sedang. Karakteristik individu berhubungan nyata dengan efektivitas komunikasi kecuali jenis kelamin tidak berhubungan nyata dengan semangat. Komunikasi kelompok berhubungan nyata dengan efektivitas komunikasi khususnya pada karakteristik pesan verbal dan karakteristik saluran komunikasi interpersonal. Dukungan berhubungan nyata dengan efektivitas komunikasi kelompok. Dalam kegiatan kerja kelompok terdapat hubungan sangat nyata efektivitas komunikasi kelompok dengan prestasi belajar siswa kelas V.

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.
