Judul: Hubungan Dinamika dan Peran Kelompok dengan Kemampuan Anggota dalam Penerapan Inovasi Teknologi Usahatani Kopi Rakyat:
Abstrak: The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to analyze the characteristics of farmer group members in implementing technological innovation of smallholders coffee farming; (2) analyze the ability level of farmer group members and (3) describe the characteristics of members, dynamic and role of groups that associated with member’s capability. The study was designed as a descriptive correlation study that conducted in January-March 2010. The number of 88 respondents using proportionate stratified random sampling method of all smallholder coffee farming groups in Sidomulyo Village Silo District Jember Regency. Primary and secondary data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with Tau-B Kendall correlation. Results showed that there were some differences in the characteristic between members of smallholder coffee farming groups for intermediate level and advanced level. Group dynamic and role intermediate and advanced level were high, but for advanced level still low on group role as an economic units. Member’s capability level of them were high but for advanced level still low in the technological innovation implementation of post harvest and access to information, capital and markets. Characteristics of group members that showed significantly positive correlation with capability in the technological innovation implementation of coffee farming were the experience of farming, membership mass of farming group, the cosmopolite level and motivation. Group dynamic that showed significantly positive correlation with capability in the technological innovation implementation of coffee farming were group goals, group building, cohesiveness, group atmosphere, pressure and effectiveness of group. Likewise, the significantly positive correlation was found in the role of farming groups and capability in the technological innovation implementation of coffee farming.

Judul: Relationship Between Commynication Networks and the Adoption Process of Coffee Management Technology Innovation among Millennial Coffee Farmers
Abstrak: Jaringan komunikasi yang terbentuk pada Kelompok Milenial Surga Lidah Tani dapat digunakan untuk memengaruhi proses adopsi suatu inovasi pertanian, salah satunya adalah teknologi pengelolaan pasca panen kopi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan jaringan komunikasi dengan proses adopsi inovasi di Kelompok Milenial Surga Lidah Tani. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif yang didukung dengan data kualitatif. Teknik pemilihan responden menggunakan sampel jenuh (sensus). Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aktor yang sama menempati degree centrality, closeness centrality, dan betweenneess centrality paling sentral dalam jaringan pada penggunaan mesin pulper, huller, dan roaster. Adapun pada proses adopsi inovasi tergolong rendah hingga sedang. Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan jaringan komunikasi terbukti berhubungan dengan proses adopsi inovasi mesin pulper secara keseluruhan maupun dengan masing-masing tahapan. Namun keterlibatan jaringan komunikasi terbukti tidak berhubungan dengan proses adopsi inovasi mesin huller dan roaster secara keseluruhan maupun dengan masing-masing tahapan., The communication network formed by the Millennial Surga Lidah Tani Group can be used to influence the adoption process of agricultural innovations, one of which is post-harvest coffee management technology. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between communication networks and the innovation adoption process in the Surga Lidah Tani Millennial Group. The method used in this research is a quantitative method supported by qualitative data. The respondent selection technique uses a saturated sample (census). The results of the research show that the same actor occupies the most central degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality in the network when using pulper, huller, and roaster machines. The innovation adoption process is classified as low to medium. The results of the correlation test show that the involvement of communication networks is proven to be related to the adoption process of pulper machine innovation as a whole and with each stage. However, the involvement of communication networks was proven to be unrelated to the process of adoption of huller and roaster machine innovation as a whole or to each stage.

Judul: Telaah Histopatologi Urolithiasis Pada Kucing
Abstrak: Urolithiasis adalah suatu keadaan dimana ditemukannya batu di dalam saluran urinaria. Batu tersebut dibentuk dalam pelvis ginjal dan bergerak turun sepanjang ureter kemudian masuk ke dalam vesika urinaria dan uretra. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari lebih dalam secara histopatologi tentang kasus kematian seekor kucing dengan urolithiasis yang dinekropsi di Laboratorium Patologi FKH-IPB. Pemeriksaan patologi anatomi menemukan adanya fokal atelektasis paru, dilatasi ventrikel kiri jantung, hidrothoraks, hidroasites, ginjal pueat dan batu-batu berbagai ukuran dengan diameter 0,1-0,5 em pada vesika urinaria yang berdarah. Pada pengamatan histopatologi menunjukkan pembendungan semua organ, nephritis interstitialis kronis disertai bentukan mikrokista dan endapan mineral pada lumen tubuli dan sistitis nekrotik disertai pendarahan yang meluas. Pemeriksaan pada organ paru-paru ditemukan lumen alveolus sebagian mengempis dan sebagian lagi meluas. Dinding alveol menebal akibat adanya akumulasi eritrosit. Sedikit koloni bakteri tampak dalam lumen usus, bercampur dengan epitel usus yang terlepas di ujung viii. Hati mengalami pembendungan, ruangan sinusoid tampak meluas. Beberapa megakariosit tampak di dalam pulpa merah yang menunjukkan adanya aktivitas hematopoetis. Organ jantung tidak menunjukkan adanya perubahan histopatologi yang spesifik.
