Judul: The Role of Social Cohesiveness in Community Resilience Facing The COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstrak: Pada saat menghadapi bencana, pemerintah tentu tidak mampu dalam waktu cepat memberikan bantuan secara menyeluruh kepada komunitas yang terdampak. Selama menunggu bantuan datang dari pemerintah, komunitas harus mampu bekerja sama. Kerja sama yang didasari kohesi sosial dapat menghasilkan resiliensi komunitas dalam menghadapi bencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis tingkat kohesivitas sosial, resiliensi komunitas dan peranan kohesivitas sosial dalam resiliensi komunitas menghadapi pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei yang didukung oleh data kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kohesivitas sosial komunitas tergolong sedang. Pada kasus Pandemi COVID-19, terjalinnya kohesivitas sosial tersebut hanya sebatas membentuk ikatan dan keterhubungan diantara warga komunitas yang kurang berperan dalam tercapainya resiliensi komunitas terutama pada subkomponen sosial, ekonomi dan kelembagaan. Komunitas hanya menunjukkan resiliensi komunitas yang tinggi pada subkomponen modal komunitas dan infrastruktur. Dengan demikian, resiliensi komunitas tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kohesivitas sosial tetapi harus ada faktor/ komponen pendukung lainnya.

Judul: Kohesi sosial dan aksi kolektif komunitas miskin perkotaan selama pandemi COVID-19
Abstrak: Salah satu elemen kunci keberhasilan dalam menghadapi pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia adalah dengan membangun kerjasama. Kerjasama antara anggota komunitas adalah bentuk dari adanya kohesi sosial. Resiliensi komunitas dihasilkan dari kohesi sosial yang mendorong aksi bersama antar warga untuk mengurangi dampak bencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan kohesi sosial dan aksi kolektif pada komunitas miskin perkotaan selama pandemi COVID-19 dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui kuesioner dan didukung data kualitatif menggunakan wawancara mendalam. Lokasi penelitian ini adalah sebuah RW di Kecamatan Bogor Barat, Kota Bogor yang melibatkan 60 responden melalui metode proportional simple random sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa walaupun komunitas miskin memiliki kohesi sosial yang sedang, namun mereka mampu memiliki aksi kolektif yang tinggi selama pandemi COVID-19, meskipun lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan aksi kolektif sebelum pandemi. Kohesi sosial dan aksi kolektif komunitas miskin perkotaan memiliki hubungan yang lemah. Kepemimpinan merupakan salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam tingginya aksi kolektif komunitas miskin perkotaan selama pandemi COVID-19., One of the key elements of success in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia is to build cooperation. Cooperation between community members is a form of social cohesion. Community resilience results from social cohesion that encourages joint action among residents to reduce the impact of disasters. This study aims to analyze the relationship of social cohesion and collective action in urban poor communities during the COVID-19 pandemic using a quantitative approach through questionnaires and supported by qualitative data using in-depth interviews. The location of this research is an RW in West Bogor District, Bogor City which involves 60 respondents through the proportional simple random sampling method. The results show that although poor communities have moderate social cohesion, they are able to have high collective action during the COVID-19 pandemic, although lower than collective action before the pandemic. Social cohesion and collective action of urban poor communities have a weak relationship. Leadership is one of the factors that play a role in the high collective action of the urban poor community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judul: Macroalgae development as feeding stimulants for the adult sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla Linnaeus 1758)
Abstrak: Development of artificial feed for somatic growth and gonad quality is one of the focus of research on sea urchin aquaculture activities. Palatability is important factor when developing artificial feed for aquaculture diets. This study investigated the effects of macroalgae (Sargassum polycystum, Gracilaria lichenoides, and Ulva reticulata) as feeding stimulants to artificial diets consumption and gonad profile for the adult sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla, by three feeding trials. Previously starved T. gratilla were held in replicated (3X) 50 L aquaria with recirculation water system (in the first feeding trial) and flow through water system (in the second and third feeding trial). In the first feeding trial, preference of T. gratilla for dried macroalgae was assessed in choice feeding experiment. T. gratilla displayed significant preference for the agar containing dried U. reticulata at 20% agar weight over nine other diets treatment when they were offered simultaneously. Total protein, energy and the ratio of protein to energy in the dried macroalgae had no correlation on agar consumption by T. gratilla. Three artificial diets were made by incorporating one of each of these dried macroalgae at 5% feed weight used in the second feeding trial. Although no significant difference in artificial diets containing dried macroalgae, urchins fed diets containing dried macroalgae consumed more than basal diet when they were offered as single diet. These results indicate that dried macroalgae added to the artificial diets act as feeding stimulants and increasing the acceptability of artificial sea urchin diets. The third feeding trial used dried U. reticulata as feeding stimulant to artificial diet. Data suggest that artificial diet containing 10% dried U. reticulata boosting feed consumption and significantly increasing nutrient accumulation, gonad index, egg diameter and fix gonad color.
