Judul: Cost Structure and Income of Cattle Breeding Business in Palon  Village, Jepon District, Blora Regency
Abstrak: Kegiatan usaha pembibitan sapi potong di Desa Palon, Kecamatan Jepon, Kabupaten Blora masih menjadi usaha sampingan. Pemeliharaan sapi potong hanya untuk kepentingan investasi atau tabungan. Hal ini berpengaruh terhadap bagaimana peternak mengelola usaha peternakannya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis struktur biaya dan pendapatan dari usaha pembibitan sapi potong di Desa Palon, Kecamatan Jepon, Kabupaten Blora. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 30 peternak yang menjalankan usaha pembibitan sapi potong. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dan data primer dengan menggunakan pendekatan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif, struktur biaya, penerimaan, pendapatan, dan analisis R/C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan atas biaya total dan penghasilan bersih (net farm earnings) bernilai negatif dengan R/C atas biaya total sebesar 0,61., The activity of beef cattle breeding in Palon Village, Jepon District, Blora Regency is still considered a sideline business. The maintenance of beef cattle is only for investment or savings purposes. This has an impact on how farmers manage their livestock business. The aim of this research is to analyze the cost and income structure of beef cattle breeding in Palon Village, Jepon District, Blora Regency. The sample for this research consists of 30 farmers engaged in beef cattle breeding. This study utilizes both secondary and primary data and employs a qualitative descriptive analysis method, cost structure analysis, revenue analysis, income analysis, and R/C analysis. The research results indicate that the income over total costs and net farm earnings have negative values with an R/C (ratio of 0.61.

Judul: Analysis of Beef Cattle Farming Business for Members and Non-Members of Sentra Peternakan Rakyat in Bojonegoro District
Abstrak: Populasi sapi potong di Indonesia terus meningkat setiap tahunnya, hal tersebut menjadikan usahaternak sapi potong berpeluang besar untuk dikembangkan terutama pada peternakan rakyat yang saat ini masih didominasi oleh usahaternak berskala kecil. Salah satu program yang dicanangkan pemerintah untuk pemberdayaan peternak yaitu Sentra Peternakan Rakyat (SPR). SPR Mega Jaya merupakan SPR percontohan dan terbaik di Indonesia tahun 2017. Namun tidak semua peternak tergabung dalam SPR, sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur biaya, penerimaan, serta pendapatan peternak anggota dan non anggota SPR Mega Jaya. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis pendapatan usahaternak sapi potong, R/C ratio, dan uji beda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pendapatan atas biaya total usahaternak anggota SPR dan non anggota berturut-turut sebesar Rp8.561.126,06 dan -Rp3.928.392,91. Nilai R/C rasio total sebesar 1,37 persen dan 0,76 persen, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa usahaternak anggota layak dijalankan sedangkan non anggota tidak layak untuk dijalankan., The beef cattle population in Indonesia continues to increase every year, making beef cattle farming a great opportunity to be developed, especially on smallholder farms which are currently still dominated by small-scale farming. One of the programs launched by the government to empower farmers is the People's Livestock Center (SPR). SPR Mega Jaya is a pilot SPR and the best in Indonesia in 2017. However, not all farmers are members of SPR, so this study aims to analyze the cost structure, revenue, and income of farmer members and non-members of SPR Mega Jaya. The analytical methods used were beef cattle farming income analysis, R/C ratio, and difference test. The results showed that the income over the total cost of farming of SPR members and non-members amounted to Rp8.561.126,06 and -Rp3.928.392,91, respectively. The total R/C ratio value is 1,37 percent and 0,76 percent, this indicates that the livestock business of members is feasible to run while non-members are not feasible to run.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
