Judul: Dampak Pembiayaan Bagi Hasil Terhadap Pengentasan Kemiskinan Petambak Udang Di Kabupaten Tulang Bawang (Studi Kasus: Kemitraan Bumi Dipa Periode 2014-2015)
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas pembiayaan, faktor-faktor yang dapat menyebabkan kegagalan budi daya udang, serta dampak pembiayaan bagi hasil terhadap pengentasan kemiskinan petambak di Kecamatan Rawajitu Timur, Tulang Bawang. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer hasil wawancara kepada informan dari Kemitraan Bumi Dipa sebanyak 5 orang dan responden yang terdiri dari 100 petambak yang menjadi anggota Kemitraan Bumi Dipa. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif, analisis kualitatif dan analisis indeks kemiskinan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan pembiayaan yang dikelola oleh Kemitraan Bumi Dipa sudah tergolong efektif, namun ada beberapa hal yang perlu dikoreksi yaitu jangka waktu pengembalian yang kurang longgar, loyalitas anggota yang kurang optimal, serta belum adanya dampak pembiayaan bagi kondisi usaha petambak sebagai akibat dari kegagalan budi daya petambak yang menjadi anggota kemitraan. Faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kegagalan budi daya anggota Kemitraan Bumi Dipa adalah faktor alam lingkungan, teknis, perilaku menyimpang dari anggota, serta faktor eksternal lain seperti harga jual udang yang sedang menurun cukup drastis di pasar domestik. Sementara menurut analisis terhadap indikator kemiskinan, justru terjadi kenaikan pada headcount ratio Index,poverty gap index (P1), income gap index(I), dan sen index (P2) setelah petambak menjadi anggota kemitraan sebagai akibat kegagalan budi daya.

Judul: Kinerja Produksi Udang Tambak Rakyat di Kecamatan Pangkajene, Sulawesi Selatan Berdasarkan Bantuan Modal PEMP DKP
Abstrak: One of the main constraints of aquaculture production enhancement is capital. Therefore, the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Affairs has launched a capital assistance program for farmers with a program called Coastal Economic Empowerment (PEMP). The program was aimed to improve the welfare of fishermen and coastal communities. Kecamatan Pangkajene is one of the fund recipient areas where the program was distributed into three villages which are Bonto Perak, Anrong Appakka, and Sibatua (DKP, 2005). The objective of this study was to analyze the shrimp production performance of farmers who received financial aid program PEMP. The study was conducted on July to August 2009 in the village of Bonto Perak, Anrong Appaka and Sibatua, KecamatanPangkajene, Kabupaten Pangkep, South Sulawesi. Primary data was obtained by direct interviews in the field using a questionnaire whereas secondary data was obtained by literature study. The results of field research show that farmers who received the funding PEMP (on the period of 2005-2007) stocked 10,000-15,000 PL / cycle (57.14%) with PL size more than 20 (57,14%). While non PEMP-farmers stocked at a range of 7,500-10,000 PL /cycle (43.66%) with a more varied PL size which usually obtained from merchants logs (51.35%). PEMP farmers generally used a mixture of natural feed and artificial feed (57.14%) while non-PEMP farmers mostly used only natural feed (90.54%). The water used by PEMP farmers was obtained mostly directly from the sea (71.43%) while non-PEMP farmers obtained their water from the river (85.14%). The types of disease that generally found in PEMP recipient tambak ponds were White Spot Syndrome Virus (71.43%) while the disease mostly found in non-PEMP farm were red spots (red gills) (30.14%). The timing of disease occurrence in most PEMP farm was in the rainy season (57.15%) while in non-PEMP farm diseases tended to occur throughout the year. During the period of PEMP implementation (2005-2007), the farmers who received financial aid from PEMP program did not experience any production increase as they harvested crop was remain stable (100%) with a range of 50-100 kg / cycle (42.86%). At the same time, 8.11% of non-PEMP farmers revealed an increased production, 79.73% decreased production and 12.16% stagnan production with a range of harvested crop of 100-150 kg (44.59%). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the financial aid provided by PEMP program in Kecamatan Pangkajene, Kabupaten Pangkep, South Sulawesi increased the frequency of stocking and the use of some production inputs. This program however did not give a direct impact on production.

Judul: Sintesis Flavonol melalui 2’-Hidroksikalkon
Abstrak: Flavonol is a class of flavonoids commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Flavonol is very useful, especially in food sector and health. In this study, flavonol unsubstituted was successfully synthesized from an intermediate material 2’-hydroxychalcone. The 2’-hydroxychalcone was synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation method between o-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde using 4 different catalysts, namely KOH 60%, solid pellet of KOH-grinding technique, BF3-Et2O, and NaH in DMF. The KOH 60% was the best catalyst, giving the highest yield (57%). Afterward, the flavonol was synthesized in 1-stage oxidation cyclization of o-hydroxyacetophenone using Algar-Flynn-Oyamada (AFO) reaction, giving 76%. The flavonol total yield from 2’-hydroxychalcone was 43%. All synthesized products were characterized by their melting points and their spectra. The success of the synthesis flavonol opens the way to synthesis of useful flavonol derivatives such as quercetin and kaempferol.
