Judul: Kontestasi aktor dalam perebutan sumberdaya timah di Bangka
Abstrak: This study aims to map the position and role of mining actors (community) in their contestation in a seizure of tin resource in Bangka. In the contestation it is expected that a new direction regarding the transition of consolidation of democracy, that takes place in Bangka, is illustrated or reflected. In an effort to achieve the aim, the contestation of mining actors is confronted with changes in the political ecology of tin resource as well as the determination of the transition of consolidation of democracy towards a better direction or vice versa. This study uses a qualitative approach of Giddens’ structuralism with analysis of the paradigm of Critical Theory. In the historical realism of mining in Bangka, it is illustrated that the state’s dominance through mining corporate (PT Timah Tbk) was very powerful and diminished in the post New Order era. Effort to unravel the things behind that change refers to the work of the Critical Theory paradigm. The research was conducted in the hamlets of Airputih and Mayang in West Bangka Regency with a focus on the contestation of two mining actors with the state, regional government and investor/private actors. The results showed that: (1) the political map of the governance of tin resource in Bangka shifts in character from a state’s monolithic to a distributed multilithic; (2) The non-capitalistic Reformer Actors (RA) carry non-capitalist eco-populist ideology while starting “stop mining” with revitalizing the potential of community modes of production, and Transitional Actors (TA) carry Capitalist ideology while starting “tin for the people” stay afloat with tin mining despite the destruction of the environment; (3) in the practice of mining in Bangka the RA is more accurately described as Rational Actors, while TA is more accurately described as Pragmatic Actors.

It was marked by the mayor's decree of Baubau No. 5451/6211/EUD/2007 about empowerment mining exploration rights of PT Bumi Inti Sulawesi (PT BIS) in Sorawolio District. The exploration and exploitation activities of the nickel mine became a trigger of the mining conflict in Baubau. This research used a qualitative approach in which facts were constructed based on the subjects studied by using the critical paradigm and constructivism. These results indicated that the map control of natural resources in Baubau, traditionally (the sultanate era, 1511-1960) for Turakia land; allocated as residential, ome land; allocated for plantation, katampai land; allocated for plantations and forests and kaombo land its use as a forest which was not allowed to be used except for the common good. The mastery of the four land classifications were as common property except katampai land as private property (owned by Wa Ode Wau for the study area). In the Suharto era there was a change (via the legitimacy of positive law) and in the era of regional autonomy changed the allocation of residential space, the garden became mine (mine roads and special terminals), its control changed from private property to private ownership. While the use of a limited production forest in the Soeharto era in part allocated to mine and its governance be private ownership. The actors involved in the use and control of natural resources in the Baubau of the Sultanate, the Central Government, the Government of the province of South East Sulawesi town of Baubau, Governments, Regional House of representatives (DPRD) Of Baubau, apparatus of State security and public order, private parties (PT BIS), society Of Baubau, students and NGOs.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
