Judul: Marketing Analysis of Milk in Cijeruk Area Bogor Regency and Pondok Rangon East Jakarta
Abstrak: Pengembangan subsektor peternakan khususnya ternak perah sangat potensial, salah satu ternak perah yang potensial untuk dikembangkan adalah sapi perah. Pengembangan suatu usaha dipengaruhi salah satunya oleh efisiensi tata niaga produknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sistem tata niaga susu sapi di Cijeruk dan Pondok Rangon yang meliputi saluran tata niaga, fungsi tata niaga, dan struktur pasar . Penentuan sampel peternak dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan melibatkan jumlah masing masing 20 peternak sapi perah yang berada di kawasan Cijeruk dan Pondok Rangon. Lembaga-lembaga tata niaga yang terlibat dan berperan dalam saluran pemasaran susu sapi segar yaitu konsumen, loper dan kelompok pengumpulan susu ditentukan berdasarkan informasi dari peternak sampel. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terdapat 4 saluran tata niaga di Kelompok Ternak Mandiri Sejahtera, dan terdapat 3 saluran tata niaga di Kelompok Tani Swadaya Pondok Rangon. Peternak yang ada di Kelompok Ternak Mandiri Sejahtera dominan memasarkan susu melalui kelompok, sedangkan peternak yang ada di Kelompok Tani Ternak Swadaya Pondok Rangon dominan memasarkan susu melalui loper. Saluran tata niaga paling efesien adalah saluran yang memiliki biaya pemasaran sebesar Rp.0 dengan hasil farmer,’s share 100% yaitu peternak menjual susu segar langsung ke konsumen (jalur tata niaga terpendek)., The development of the livestock sub-sector, especially dairy cattle, is very potential, one of the dairy cattle that has the potential to be developed is dairy cattle. The development of a business is influenced by the efficiency of its product trading system. This study aims to analyze the trading system of cow's milk in Cijeruk and Pondok Rangon which includes the trading system, the function of the trade system, and the market structure. The determination of the farmer sample was carried out by purposive sampling technique involving the number of each of 20 dairy farmers in the Cijeruk and Pondok Rangon areas. The trading institutions that are involved and play a role in the marketing channel of fresh cow's milk, namely consumers, deliverymen and milk collection groups are determined based on information from sample farmers. Based on the results of the study, there are 4 channels of trade in the Independent Prosperous Livestock Group, and there are 3 channels of trade in the Independent Farmer Group of Pondok Rangon.

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
