Judul: Kesinambungan usaha bisnis kemitraan ayam ras pedaging kasus di Tunas Mekar Farm Bogor
Abstrak: Contract farming has been in existence for many years as a means of organizing the commercial agricultural production of both large scale and small scale farmers. Contract farming can be defined as an agreement between farmers and marketing firms form the production and supply of agricultural product under forward agreements, frequently at predetermined prices. The objective of this research is to know relation between the analized factors wich are (1) business ethics (2) leadership (3) partnership motivation (4) performance numerical (5) contract agreements, and the sustainable contract farming. Primary data were collected by interviewing the farmers and analized using multiple regression. The result of the estimates equation of sustainable contract farming is Y= -1,740+2,939X1+1,817X4–0,911X5. Only business ethics and performance numerical were significant at the 95% level. The condition of the contract farming at Tunas Mekar Farm will be sustainable if the performance of business ethics and performance numerical improved significantly. It means that both side involved in the broiler business contract should make the best efforts to maintain it.

Judul: Kesinambungan Usaha Bisnis Kemitraan Ayam Ras Pedaging (Kasus di Tuans Mekar Farm Bogor)
Abstrak: Usaha peternakan ayam ras pedaging merupakan salah satu alternatif usaha yang cepat menghasilkan dan waktu pemeliharaan yang singkat. Hal ini merupakan daya tarik bagi peternak untuk terjun dalam usaha ternak ayam ras pedaging. Bagi para peternak ayam, usaha ayam ras pedaging masih memiliki beberapa kendala, diantaranya kurangnya stabilisasi penyediaan DOC dan pakan dalam negeri yang murah serta berkualitas masih jauh dari yang diharapkan sehingga harganya fluktuatif. Padahal 50- 70 persen biaya produksi ayam ras adalah pakan. Kendala lainnya yaitu kurangnya modal dan sulitnya peternak untuk memasarkan produk ayamnya. Oleh karena itu terciptalah sistem kemitraan yang bertujuan untuk membantu peternak kecil mengurangi resiko kerugian yang dapat membuat pendapatannya meningkat dengan cara meningkatkan skala usahanya, menurunkan biaya produksi dan kontinuitas tersedianya sapronak, menjamin pemasarannya serta menjaga kesinambungan usahanya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan peubah-peubah yang diteliti antara lain: (1) etika bisnis, (2) kepemimpinan, (3) motivasi kerjasama, (4) Performance Numerical, dan (5) kontrak kerjasama dengan kesinambungan hubungan usaha kemitraan yang sedang berlangsung.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
