Judul: Hubungan antara Relasi Gender dan Tingkat Keberlanjutan Kampung Ramah Lingkungan Pandawa 5 Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Kampung Ramah Lingkungan (KRL) merupakan suatu gerakan pembangunan berkelanjutan berbasis gerakan masyarakat. Relasi gender yang berimbang dalam rumah tangga dapat mendukung keterlibatan anggota rumah tangga dalam pembangunan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis relasi gender dalam rumah tangga anggota KRL Pandawa 5 dan hubungan antara relasi gender dalam rumah tangga dengan keberlanjutan KRL Pandawa 5 di Kelurahan Pabuaran Mekar, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Metode survei digunakan dalam penelitian. Tiga puluh dari 42 rumah tangga peserta KRL terpilih sebagai responden penelitian. Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa relasi gender dalam rumah tangga KRL Pandawa 5 berada pada kategori cukup setara. Analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pendidikan suami dan istri berpengaruh terhadap kesetaraan gender dalam rumah tangga. Analisis korelasi Spearman memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat korelasi nyata antara relasi gender dan keberlanjutan sosial budaya dari KRL., Ecovillage Pandawa 5 is one of the community initiative undertaken in Cibinong – Bogor. This initiative has been supported by the households of Pabuaran Mekar Village. Gender equity and equality in the household affect the ecovillage performance. The research aims to analyze the gender relation in a household, then analyze the influence of household characteristic toward gender relation and at last, to analyze the correlation of gender relation with the sustainability of Eco Friendly Village Pandawa 5 in Pabuaran Mekar Village, Bogor Regency, West Java. The research method used is quantitave methodlogy support by qualitative assestment. The results show that the gender relation in Ecovillage Pandawa 5 household is equal. The education level of husband and wife in the households influence the gender relation, and there is positive correlation between gender relation and the sustainability of social-culture.

Judul: Hubungan antara gaya kepemimpinan ketua kelompok dan motivasi kader melaksanakan kegiatan Kampung Ramah Lingkungan (KRL) Kasus: KRL Pandawa 5, Kelurahan Pabuaranmekar, Kecamatan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Salah satu upaya menjaga kondisi lingkungan adalah melalui kegiatan Kampung Ramah Lingkungan (KRL). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara gaya kepemimpinan dan motivasi kader dalam melaksanakan kegiatan KRL. Penelitian dilakukan di Kelurahan Pabuaranmekar, Kecamatan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor. Responden penelitian berjumlah 35 orang dipilih secara sampel purposif. Variabel penelitian terdiri atas gaya kepemimpinan, motivasi kader, dan tingkat keberhasilan KRL. Data diolah dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan statistik non parameterik menggunakan uji korelasi Rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa uji korelasi gaya kepemimpinan tidak berhubungan nyata dengan motivasi kader, namun karakteristik kepemimpinan berhubungan nyata dengan motivasi kader, dan motivasi kader berhubungan nyata dengan tingkat keberhasilan kegiatan KRL. Motivasi kader KRL yang tinggi pada dasarnya sudah tertanam didalam diri kader dengan tujuan untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang bersih dan nyaman.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
