Judul: Pluralisme dan Keberadaan Ahmadiyah di Pedesaan Jawa
Abstrak: This study described and analyzed how the people in rural areas responded pluralism before and after the reform era. It also examined how conflicts occurred as a consequence of the waning tolerance and pluralism in rural area. The research was conducted in one village in West Java Province, where the Ahmadiyah have existed since 1933. This study used a qualitative approach to explore the responses of the religious leaders, village government and ordinary people toward Ahmadiyah. Tolerance and pluralism in the village were reflected in their social or religious lives, such as mutual assistance, education, health and religious events. However, since 2005, the attitude of tolerance and pluralism has been fading along with the Cikeukeuh people’s increasing resistance to Ahmadiyah. One of the reasons is that the attitude of the religious elite who are too reactive in response to the existence of the Ahmadiyah. The reactive attitude can not be separated from the rules and policies issued related to Ahmadiyah. Public responses to Ahmadiyah were not the same, depending on the people’s social/religious status and their domicile. The study indicated that the negative and reactive responses were shown by the religious elite and the people living close to Ahmadiyah. In the meantime, the positive response and tolerance were shown by religious leaders, village officials and ordinary people in villages far from Ahmadiyah. Various policies related to Ahmadiyah raise segregations in society that ultimately fade the tradition of pluralism itself. As a consequence, social interaction is not fully formed because the followers of Ahmadiyah worry violate existing regulations. On the contrary, non Ahmadiyah people are also not easily interact with the followers of Ahmadiyah intensively considered for fear of other people close to the Ahmadiyah.

Judul: A Case Study Of Kecamatan Cibadak, West Java, And Kecamatan Kendal, Central Java
Abstrak: I frankly admit that I am unable to recall the names of so many generous contributors; among them are also hundreds of respondents and informants who have been purposely kept anonymous. most likely it was Without being fully acknowledged, they who in fact substantiated my endeavours to gain a deeper understanding of the organizational phenomenon in selected rural communities of Java. It is for this reason that I spontaneously and gratefully wish to dedicate the findings of my research to them, and through them to the thousands of village people in the Districts of Cibadak and Kendal. It is my hope indeed that eventually the villagers at large will benefit most from suggested changes in government policy concerning rural reconstruction and development. I envisage that they in a collective sense will be the final judge of my observations and analyses. Villagers have been silent for extended lapses of time already, and it is their tacit message which I have attempted to penetrate, comprehend and reflect in the present study. It is primarily for the sake of scientific communication that my account at this stage has to be cast in a more professional format using appropriate sociological jargon where perhaps colloquial language would fail or be inadequate to communicate my perceptions more precisely. dst. …

Judul: Desain Mekanisme Pengatur Bibit Nanas untuk Mesin Tanam Nanas.
Abstrak: Penanaman bibit nanas pada saat ini masih dilakukan secara manual dengan kapasitas rendah dan hasil penanaman yang kurang baik. Untuk memperbaiki hal itu, diperlukan mesin tanam nanas berkapasitas tinggi dengan hasil penanaman yang baik. Dalam mesin tanam nanas di mana bibit tertumpuk dengan posisi yang tidak beraturan, diperlukan mekanisme untuk mengatur posisi orientasi bibit nanas dan juga mengumpankan bibit nanas dalam posisi berdiri untuk ditanam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk merancang mekanisme pengatur bibit nanas tipe sucker untuk mesin tanam nanas. Mekanisme yang dirancang ini terdiri dari: 1) mekanisme pembawa bibit dari hoper bibit sekaligus memposisikannya secara tertidur satu persatu, dan 2) mekanisme pengumpan bibit dalam posisi berdiri. Mekanisme ini dirancang untuk dapat mengumpankan bibit dengan kecepatan 5.54 detik per bibit, dan unit conveyor pengarah bibit dirancang dengan kecepatan 0.081 m/s. Hasil pengujian prototipe mekanisme pengarah bibit ini menunjukkan bahwa conveyor pengarah bibit mampu membawa bibit, dan mengaturnya dalam posisi tertidur sebanyak 89.67 %. Unit penegak bibit dapat mengumpankan bibit dalam posisi berdiri sebanyak 92%. Mekanisme pengarah ini mampu mengumpankan bibit dengan kecepatan rata-rata 10.8 bibit per menit.
