Judul: The impact of agricultural industrialization to agricutural sector performance and rural poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Agricultural industrialization can be aproached through supply side and demand side. From supply side, agricultu ral industrialization is interpreted through incremental productivity. This research is designed to measure the impact of productivity improvement of agricultural industry (agroindustry) on economic sector performance, macroeconomic, household income, and rural poverty. This research use a data base on Input-Output (I-O) Table and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of Indonesi a 2003 developed by Central Bureau of Statistic. The main analysis used is recursive dynamic of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model (CGE-AGRINDO Model) while poverty case is analyzed by using Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty index. The policy simulation result shows that productivity improvement of agroindustry has strong affects on total output industry. If the productivity improvement of agroindustry is followed by productivity improvement of agriculture and financial institution, almost all sectors would increase in total output. In turn, the increase of total outp ut will result in a decrease in output selling price, on the other hand it will increase labor absorbtion. The productivity improvement affects the macroeconomic performance which indicated by real GDP improvement. This condition also affects the increasing in inflation acceleration. The productivity improvement contributes to an impact on rural and urban household’s income. The household of agricultural labor on rural area receives the biggest benefit, on the contrary the househod of nonagricultural labor at upper level on urban area receives the smallest benefit.

Judul: Dampak Kebijakan Pembangunan Pertanian Terhadap Pengentasan Kemiskinan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Government policy applied in agricultural sectors, giving opportunity for welfare improvement and poverty reduction of all perpetrator in concerned agricultural sector directly and also indirectly. Impact of agriculture development policy on poverty reduction during the time it is important to know and evaluated, so that necessary action can be taken a strategic agriculture development policy and able to become solution about height problem of poverty level. This study aims at analyzing the impact of agricultural development policy on poverty reduction in Indonesia. To reach this objective, a simultaneous equations model is constructed and estimated using the 2SLS method. Simulations of a set of policy scenarios are undertaken based on estimeted parameters of the model. The result of this research show that urban poverty can to reduced by improvement policy of real wage rate, improvement of economic growth, goverment expenditure in service sector and improvement of nasional food stock. Furthermore, rural poverty can be depressed by improvement of real wage rate, economic growth, goverment expenditure on agriculture, price of agriculture commodity and improvement of agricultural production. While for the economic crisis and inflation give positive influence to poorness number improvement in rural. Policy combination to increase of areal agriculture and credit improvement each 10 percent, and also degrade rate of interest equal to 2 percent representing policy combination giving biggest influence to poverty reduction, that is equal to 4.30 percent. This Policy combination bring influence for poverty reduction in rural, that is equal to 4.66 percent. This policy combination also able to push production of equal to 5.01 percent and repair of agriculture commodity price equal to 1.97 percent.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
