Judul: Motivation and Interest Buffalo Breeders in
Development of Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) Program in North Musi Rawas
Utara District.
Abstrak: Kabupaten Musi Rawas Utara merupakan salah satu Kabupaten yang berada di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Masyarakat Kabupaten Musi Rawas Utara juga memilih berprofesi sebagai peternak kerbau. Pentingnya memberikan dedikasi pada peternak mengenai cara beternak yang efektif, efisien hingga cara berbisnis ternak yang menguntungkan mereka, salah satunya adalah program Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tingkat motivasi, minat, dan hubungan antara motivasi dan minat peternak kerbau terhadap pembangunan SPR. Responden penelitian berjumlah 43 orang dipilih dengan metode purposive sampling yang merupakan peternak kerbau dari Desa Maur, Bingin Rupit, dan Surulangun. Data diolah menggunakan analisis regresi linear berganda dan korelasi rank Spearman. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa motivasi peternak didasarkan pada indikator relasi dengan kelompok ternak dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup. Minat peternak terhadap pengembangan SPR termasuk kedalam kategori sangat tinggi. Faktor eksternal yang memengaruhi minat peternak hanya faktor jaminan harga., Musi Rawas Utara Regency is one of the regencies in South Sumatra Province. The people of Musi Rawas Utara Regency also choose to work as buffalo farmers. It is important to dedicate efforts to educating farmers on effective and efficient farming methods, as well as profitable livestock business practices, one of which is the Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) program. The aim of this research is to analyze the level of motivation, interest, and the relationship between motivation and interest of buffalo farmers towards the development of SPR. The study's respondents numbered 43, selected using purposive sampling method, consisting of buffalo farmers from Maur, Bingin Rupit, and Surulangun villages. Data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis and Spearman’s rank correlation. The analysis results showed that the farmer’s motivation is based on indicators such as relationships with livestock groups and improving living standards. Farmer’s interest in the development of SPR falls into the very high category. The external factor influencing farmer’s interest is only the price guarantee factor.

Judul: New Initiative to Build a Breeding Business of Bali Cattle Based on Community in Field Station of Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SL-SPR)
Abstrak: The government has launched a meat self-sufficiency program to meet meat needs since 2005. The main target was to increase the population of cattle in smallholder farmers. The problem is that there are no records and data on smallholder farmers so that it is difficult to increase the population of cattle. The purpose of this study was to (1) produce baseline data on the productive and reproductive performance of Bali cattle and their supporting factors which are used as the basis for starting recording at SL-SPR Maju Bersama (2) to analyze the carrying capacity with feed production and the carrying capacity index of forage land (3) to analyze the projection of Bali cattle population in the next 10 years so that it can be used as basic data to start a breeding business. The research was conducted at SL-SPR Maju Bersama, Sungai Lilin District, Musi Banyuasin Regency in October-December 2019. The material used in this study was the all population of bali cattle, totaling 330 head of the dam belonging to 219 farmers in SL-SPR Maju Bersama, Sungai Lilin District. This study was used survey methods and direct observation of the research object. The parameters analyzed were the potential of bali cattle, reproductive performance, the potential of feed resources and carrying capacity as well as the projection of the bali cattle population for the next 10 years based on 3 simulations, constant, improvement through the SPR program, and intervention of SPR with the government. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis by presenting the test results in tabular form as well as the non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test to analyze the influence of factors that affect the reproductive performance of the dam. The projection of bali cattle population was calculated by the Microsoft Excel program. The results showed that the population of bali cattle in SL-SPR Maju Bersama was 1 277 heads. The dam as much as 72.7% came from non-groups, while the others were born and came from in the SPR group; 87.9% owned by themselves, while the others were profit sharing; 70% maintained intensively while the others maintained by semi-intensively and extensively; 58% mated by AI, while the others by natural; 24.5% were in the age range of 3-4 years and 43.0% had a BCS value of 3. The reproductive performance was obtained, age first calving 1 098 ± 12 days; calving interval 455.4 ± 8.33 days; days open 169.4 ± 8.33 and service per conception 5.37 ± 0.42. The origin and age of the dam had a significant effect on calving interval, days open and service per conception (P <0.05). Ownership status had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the age first calving. The total production of feed obtained from forages and agricultural crop residues as much as 15 646.92 tonnes of DM per year with a capacity of 6 259 AU and a capacity to increase the population of ruminants by 5 063 AU. The projection of the bali cattle population for the next 10 years with constant projections, projections with the SPR program and projections of SPR intervention with

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
