Judul: Perceptions of the Success of Social Entrepreneurship and Local Economic Development in Improving Community Living Standards (Case of Alamendah Tourism Village Community, Rancabali District, Bandung Regency, West Java)
Abstrak: Desa memiliki banyak potensi lokal yang dapat dikembangkan. Potensi tersebut jika dikelola secara optimal dapat menjadi solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan sosial. Kewirausahaan sosial dan pengembangan ekonomi lokal merupakan konsep yang bisa diterapkan dalam mengatasi permasalahan sosial. Hadirnya desa wisata yang mengusung kedua konsep tersebut juga turut andil dalam upaya meningkatkan taraf hidup masyarakat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis persepsi terhadap hubungan antara kewirausahaan sosial dan pengembangan ekonomi lokal dalam peningkatan taraf hidup masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan antara persepsi tingkat keberhasilan kewirausahaan sosial dengan persepsi tingkat taraf hidup serta adanya hubungan antara persepsi derajat dampak pengembangan ekonomi lokal dengan persepsi tingkat taraf hidup., Villages have a lot of local potential that can be developed. This potential, if managed optimally, can be a solution to overcome social problems. Social entrepreneurship and local economic development are concepts that can be applied in overcoming social problems. The presence of tourist villages that carry both concepts also contributes to efforts to improve people's lives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the perception of the correlation between social entrepreneurship and local economic development in improving people's lives. The method used is a quantitative approach supported by a qualitative approach. The results showed a correlation between the perception of the level of success of social entrepreneurship with the perception of the level of living standards and the relationship between the perception of the degree of impact of local economic development with the perception of the level of living standards.

Judul: Evaluasi potensi agrowisata di Desa Alamendah, Kecamatan Rancabali, Kabupaten Bandung
Abstrak: Region developing can cause land conversion, especially in agriculture land. The value of agriculture land can be increased by integrated usage with another related aspects such as art and local culture in agrotourism. Alamendah village has many agrotourism potencies from its nature and agriculture recources that can be developed. But, it had not been developed yet by the people, especially for local prosperity and environmental balances. The evaluation of agrotourism potency is needed with purpose to identify agrotourism potencies and former aspects, assess sustainability of community, evaluate agrotourism program and management, and make recommendation for agrotourism development. The research held in Alamendah Village, Rancabali Sub-district, Bandung district from February until July 2014 to get informations to be analyzed. Agrotourism aspects had been analyzed through agrotourism properness assessment, SWOT analysis, Community Sustainable Assessment (CSA) analysis, and preferences and perceptions analysis methods. Thus, from the analyze processes resulted the recommendation for agrotourism development at Alamendah village, such as the most suitable and potential areas for agrotourism development, potential view for agrotourism background and foreground, agrotourism development strategy, and agrotourism program and activity schedule. The final result proved that Alamendah village has a lot of potencies for agrotourism activity that can be developed with local people. The appropriate strategy to develop those potencies is make agrotourism activities and supporting tourisms being optimal for tourism activity to attract visitors, get much advantages and environment continuous.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
