Judul: Analisis komunikasi partisipatif dalam program pemberdayaan masyarakat (studi kasus pada implementasi musyawarah dalam PNPM mandiri perdesaan di desa Teluk kecamatan Pemayung Kabupaten Batang Hari)
Abstrak: Pemberdayaan (empowerment) dipandang sebagai jawaban atas pengalaman pembangunan yang didasari oleh kebijakan yang terpusat sejak tahun 1970-an sampai 1990-an. Kealpaan pemerintah untuk memberikan ruang partisipasi yang lebih luas kepada rakyat sebagai end user kebijakan publik pada masa itu telah menyebabkan matinya inovasi dan kreasi rakyat untuk memahami kebutuhannya sendiri. Proses pembangunan terpusat yang tidak partisipatif dan cenderung melupakan kebutuhan rakyat pada level grass root itu telah menyadarkan para pemikir kebijakan publik untuk akhirnya berani mengadopsi konsep pemberdayaan yang dipercayai mampu menjembatani partisipasi rakyat dengan stakeholder lain dalam proses pembangunan. Sebagai sebuah model pembangunan berdimensi pemberdayaan perspektif pemerintah yang relatif baru, penelitian tentang PNPM MPd dengan topik analisis komunikasi partisipatif dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat yang dipengaruhi oleh peran dan kredibilitas fasilitator menjadi menarik dan penting untuk dikaji dengan disiplin ilmu komunikasi pembangunan. Kajian dengan paradigma konstruktivis yang peneliti lakukan ini diharapkan dapat melengkapi dan mempertajam hasil-hasil penelitian sebelumnya dan memperkaya khasanah ilmu pengetahuan.

Judul: Keefektivan Kelembagaan PNPM Mandiri Perdesaan Kawasan Pesisir dalam Partisipasi Masyarakat terhadap Program Pemberdayaan
Abstrak: Involvement of coastal communities in several empowerment programs determined the program’s success and sustainability. Frequently, participation is overlooked due to the lack of public access in utilizing local institutions. In addition, the participation in the empowerment program indicate the effectiveness of existing institutions in the society, so that existing institutions can still be obeyed and maintained. Participation of Coastal community in Sasak village in empowerment program by PNPM is tokenism. PNPM function as a means to improve employment opportunities and poor communities’s welfare in Nagari Sasak less accomplished. PNPM Mandiri has implemented as it should, but more emphasis on empowering physically villages such as building roads, meeting houses, the addition of classroom/school building, borrowing capital. Critics of the existing strategy focused on the implementation on the field. It is performed more intensive to socialization activities in the community to recognize and understand the habits of program beneficiaries who are mostly young people. Joint action aims to produce better commitment between the actors and the PNPM Mandiri program beneficiaries.

Judul: Karakteristik Oosit Domba dari Ovarium yang Disimpan pada Suhu dan Periode Waktu yang Berbeda
Abstrak: The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristic of sheep oocytes from the ovaries that was stored on different temperature at a different period of time. Ovaries obtained from the slaughter house. The ovaries were then stored at 4 ˚C for the period of 2, 5-7 and 8-10 h, 27-28 ˚C for the 2, 5-7 and 8-10 h, and the third group was stored at 37-38 ˚C for 2, 5-7 and 8-10 h. At the end of the storage, the oocytes were collected from the ovaries using the slicing method. Collected oocytes were graded as A, B, C and D based on the layers of the cumulus cell and images of the cytoplasm. The percentage of the oocytes for grade A, B, C and D that was derived from the ovaries stored at 4 ˚C are no differ than the other group (P>0.05). The percentage of oocytes of A’s grade from the ovaries stored at the temperature of 27-28 ˚C for 2 hours were higher than the oocytes from the ovaries that were stored for 5-7 and 8-10 hours (P>0.05). Meanwhile the quantity of oocytes with the grade of B, C and D that was derived from the ovaries stored at the temperature of 27-28 ˚C did have not change compared to the other group (P>0.05). The quantity of oocytes with A’s grade that was derived from the ovaries that was kept at the temperature 37-38 ˚C for 2 hours and 5-7 hours (P<0.05) did not show any changes, however there are descending number of oocytes with the A’s grade that was derieved after 8-10 hours of storage (P<0.05). The number of oocytes with the B’s grade that was collected after 5-7 hours after storing was higher compared to those stored for 2 and 8-10 hours (P<0.05). The number of oocytes with the D’s grade is increasing parallel with the length of time for the storage at the temperature 37-38 ˚C (P<0.05). The percentage of the number of oocytes of the A and B’s grade did have not different among other group except for the group of ovaries stored at the temperature of 37-38 ˚C for 5-7 and 8-10 h. These result suggested that storing the ovaries at 27-28 ˚C and 37-38 ˚C for the duration of 5-7 hours preserve the quality of the oocytes better in compared to storing the ovaries at the temperature of 4 ˚C.
