Judul: Peranan koperasi dalam pengembangan usaha sapi perah : Studi kasus di KUD Makmur dan KUD Bhakti, Sukabumi
Abstrak: Peranan koperasi dalam pengembangan usaha sapi perah sangat penting, karena inti dari peranan ini adalah pelayanan kepada anggota (peternak). Keberhasilan koperasi dalam pengembangan usaha sapi perah tidak terlepas dari persepsi peternak tentang peranan koperasi itu sendiri dan harga susu yang diterima oleh peternak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat persepsi peternak tentang peranan koperasi dan menganalisa tingkat harga susu yang diterima oleh peternak sapi perah. Penelitian dilakukan di Koperasi Unit Desa Makmur, Kecamatan Sukabumi dan Koperasi Unit Desa Bhakti, Kecamatan Sukaraja, Kabupaten Sukabumi. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan Agustus sampai November 1997. Data diolah dengan Statistik Distribusi Frekuensi dan "Chi-Square". Ada tiga kategori penilaian yang dilakukan terhadap persepsi peternak yaitu: memadai, sedang dan tidak memadai. Uji statistik deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa di KUD Makmur pengadaan pakan memadai, pengadaan obat-obatan memadai. pengadaan peralatan memadai, pengadaan IB memadai, pengadaan penyuluhan sedang, pengadaan kredit memadai, pengadaan uji kualitas susu memadai, pengadaan asuransi kematian ternak tidak memadai, jaminan pemasaran memadai, jaminan harga sedang. Di KUD Bhakti menunjukkan bahwa pengadaan pakan memadai pengadaan obat- obatan sedang, pengadaan peralatan memadai, pengadaan IB memadai, pengadaan penyuluhan memadai, pengadaan kredit sedang, pengadaan uji kualitas susu memadai, pengadaan asuransi kematian ternak tidak memadai, jaminan pemasaran memadai, jaminan harga memadai. Uji statistik Chi-Square menunjukkan bahwa pengadaan obat-obatan, pengadaan peralatan, pengadaan IB, pengadaan penyuluhan, pengadaan dana kematian ternak dan jaminan harga berbeda nyata (p < 0,05). Harga susu yang diterima peternak di KUD Makmur sebesar Rp 595,00 /liter dan di KUD Bhakti sebesar Rp 582,00 /liter. Berdasarkan rumus harga susu yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini bahwa harga susu yang layak diterima peternak di KUD Makmur sebesar Rp 608,00 liter dan di KUD Bhakti sebesar Rp 588 /liter pada periode penelitian....

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
