Judul: Persepsi dan Sikap Masyarakat terhadap Pengembangan Bambu di Kabupaten Pekalongan Menurut Perspektif Gender
Abstrak: The Government of Pekalongan Regency is developing bamboo as one of primary Non Timber Forest Product (NTFP), to improve community welfare and conserve natural resources. The purpose of study is to analys perception and attitude of people about bamboo’s development in Pekalongan Regency. Survey has been conducted to 73 family who joint bamboo’s development programme with respondent composition of 12 male and 61 female at Kutorejo Village, Kajen District. The result of study shows that male respondent good and has while female respondent very good perception. The characteristic of number of family member significantly affect the male respondent perception and profesion, income, and bamboo’s contribution for income of female respondent perception. Beside that male respondent good and woman respondent very good attitude. The characteristic of land area owned significantly affect the male respondent attitude, while there is no factor affecting significantly in female respondent attitude.

Judul: Analisis gender dalam penyelenggaraan program nasional pemberdayaan masyarakat (PNPM) Mandiri Pedesaan (kasus di desa Kemang, kecamatan Bojongpicung kabupaten Cianjur, provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: This study found that the majority of the Sosial Dasar Pasticipants (male participants) and SPKP Participants (female participants) were in the high category of their acces toward the PNPM MP but relatively low in terms of control toward the program. Therefore , their participation level on the program were mostly low. This relates to the fact that the majority of participants status were as a member. One indicator of success of the program PNPM MP can be viewed through the output of a program that is felt by the community. Benefit analysis in this study includes Levels of Business Development and Income Level. More than half of the PNPM MP claimed that the business activities carried out after any assistance is growing especially Pembangunan Infrastruktur Jalan and SPKP. Similarly, the income level where the majority of participants PNPM MP claimed that income increased along with increasing business activity being undertaken. This study found that the participation of poor households are less involved in the planning and implementation of PNPM MP. This is thought to be caused because (1) lack of awareness of poor households to participate, (2) lack of transparency of the actors at the village level in running the program so it does not all the public aware of the PNPM MP, and (3) facilitators who are less responsive to the existing problems in the field. The fact that the relatively high proportion of women who participated in the planning and implementation of programs that are not followed by high access and control over their resources PNPM MP on the one side, in contrast to the male participants; KKG reflect that the principle underlying the planning and implementation of the PNPM MP Village Kemang has not succeeded in meeting the strategic needs of gender. This is supported by the fact that although women are involved in every meeting, but their presence is still limited to physical presence, have not been able to improve their leadership. Conversely, if it refers to the fact that both the PSD and SPKP states to benefit from a stimulant high they get, it can be concluded that PNPM MP in Kemang Village can meet practical gender needs.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
