Abstrak: The majority of Indonesian people is still being a farmer for their livelihood. This research objective were to identify performance of paddy farming with waste animal husbandry utilization, to analyze cost structure and income efficiency of paddy farming, and to analyze factors that influenced farmers to do paddy farming with waste animal husbandry utilization. Paddy farming performance of this research seen by time of plant, land preparation, seedbed, planting treatment, labor utilization, and agriculture waste production with descriptive analysis method. Cost structure and income efficiency were analyzed by using percentage of the total cost and R / C ratio method while factors that influence farmers' decisions was analyzed by using logistic regression. This research conducted at Sukajadi Village and respondents of this research were 30 farmers who utilize waste and 30 farmers who do not use waste. Based on research result showed that the performance of rice paddy farming which used waste utilization was still using a simple technical cultivation. Farmers who utilize waste made savings of fertilizer costs of 4.30%. So, the farmers who utilize waste made savings of cost production by 6.78%. Difference of income based on cash of cost production who accepted by farmers used utilize waste are Rp 435 826 /ha/season. Difference of income based on totally cost production who accepted by farmers used utilize waste are Rp 284 069/ha/season. Value of R/C ratio based on cash of cost production and totally cost production indicate that paddy farming with and without waste animal husbandry utilization were worth it and gave advantage for farmers. Factors that influenced farmers decision to do paddy farming with waste animal husbandry utilization were influenced by paddy farming income, the cost of chemical fertilizer for one growing season, burden of farmer, and education of farmers.

Judul: Analisis pendapatan petani Padi sawah di Desa Ciasihan Kecamatan Pamijahan Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Rice production in Indonesia is getting decreased due to the presence of land conversion to non-agricultural sector. One area of West Java that having decline of crop land area is Bogor District. Production decrease of 7.54% from 2010 is caused by the reduced of crop land area that reaches 6 183 ha from 2010 to 2011. Increasing rice productivity isn’t always able to increase the amount of milled rice production if it is followed by a decrease in crop land area. The objectives of this research are to identify performance of rice farmers and analyze the income of rice farming in the Ciasihan Village. The research results indicate that rice farming is still viable seen from the amount of income, is Rp 5.545.169/season. The value of the ratio R / C of rice farming in the ciasihan village is 1.33. Therefore, to increase the income of farmers, the government can provide training and counseling, supporting equipment,and facilities for meetings.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
