Judul: Determinan Perilaku Pedagang Beras dalam Menjaga Keakuratan Timbangan di Kabupaten Banyumas (Studi Kasus: Pasar Tradisional di Purwokerto)
Abstrak: Ekonomi Islam mengajarkan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi dinilai juga oleh nilai-nilai keadilan didalam kegiatan perekonomian. Salah satu aspek penting dalam keadilan bertransaksi adalah masalah timbangan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui keakuratan timbangan pedagang di pasar tradisionil Purwokerto, mengetahui faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pedagang dalam menjaga keakuratan timbangan, dan untuk menjelaskan persepsi pedagang terhadap pengawasan pasar metrologi legal. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif, gap analysis, dan regresi logistik. Dari hasil penelitian ini diketahui bahwa hanya 9% pedagang yang timbangannya akurat. Sementara itu menurut hasil gap analysis hanya aspek kewajiban tera ulang setiap tahun yang dinilai sudah baik dan memuaskan. Faktor-faktor seperti religiusitas, tingkat pendapatan, pengaruh lingkungan sosial, dan pelaksanaan tera ulang berpengaruh terhadap keakuratan timbangan pedagang. Kebijakan dan kinerja dari pemerintah diperlukan untuk memperbaiki sistem pengawasan metrologi legal dan menjaga keadilan dalam kegiatan jual beli baik bagi penjual maupun pembeli.

Judul: Tipe Rasionalitas Perilaku Ekonomi Pedagang (Studi Kasus Pedagang Lesehan dan Kios di Pasar Lokal Sekitar Pabrik Rokok Gudang Garam, Desa Ngadirejo, Kecamatan Kota Kediri, Kotamadya Kediri, Provinsi Jawa Timur)
Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang pengaruh strategi pembangunan berparadigma modernisasi yang selama ini diterapkan terhadap pola pikir masyarakat pedagang dengan melihat tipe rasionalitas perilaku ekonomi pedagang di pasar Gudang Garam. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktorfaktor yang mempengaruhi raiionalitas perilaku ekonomi pedagang sehingga pada akhirnya akan diketahui upaya-upaya yang harus dilakukan menuju masyarakat industri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Subyek penelitian terdiri atas lima pedagang yang dipilih secara pulposive dengan mengacu pada kondisi pedagang yang mengalami masa kemajuan, kemunduran dan stabil. Dalam kegiatan di lapangan peneliti menggunakan dua informan kunci dan beberapa informan lain. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pengamatan berpartisipasi, wawancarado dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis melalui proses reduksi dan disajikan dalam bentuk matriks sehingga memudahkan untuk melihat apa yang sedang terjadi, terkait dengan tema-tema yang ingin diketahui dalam penelitian ini. Selanjutnya data tersebut diinterpretasikan secara deskriptif dan pada akhirnya dapat ditarik kesimpulan dengan runutan yang logis.

Judul: Development of DNA Vaccine Encoding Glycoprotein of Koi Herpes Virus Using Local Isolate.
Abstrak: The aim of this research was to develop DNA vaccine of Koi Herpesvirus in carp. Glycoprotein gene originated from ORF 25 KHV virus that is 1.8 kbp in size, is a potential gene in DNA vaccine construction. The sequencing and similarity analysis of the gene using BLAST software showed that this gene is a GP25 gene and was found to be very similar (99%) to GP25 of KHV virus from the USA and Israel. When this GP25 gene was ligated with pGEMT Easy (pT, 3 kbp in size) vector, plasmid size was increasing up to 5 kb. Following this, a digestion of pT-GP25 plasmid using Sal I enzyme was applied resulted in a GP25 fragment (1.8 kbp). Subsequently, pAct-D6 with a size of 8.5 kbp was also cut using the same enzyme to eleminate a D6 gene with a size of 1.6 kbp. GP25 gene was then ligated with pAct resulted a pAct-GP25 plasmid with a size of 8.8 kbp. As there was only one restriction site applied, ligation can be occurred in two different directions. Thus, in order to determine the plasmid with the desired direction PCR analysis was carried out, and plasmid with the right direction was the one that sized approximately 2.1 kbp (no. 6, 17 and 20). High level of GFP gene expression was detected in all tissues analyzed, i.e. kidney, gil, spleen, and muscle 24 hours after injection which indicated that β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka could be active in common carp. Although not as high as on 24 hours, expression was still detected until day 7 and disappeared after day 28 post injection indicating that pAct-GFP can be remained and β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka can be active in muscle, gills and kidney at least a week after injection. The result of RT-PCR analysis on pAct-GP25 injected common carp showed that GP25 gene expression can be detected 14 days after injection in all tissues observed. The expression level differences between GFP and GP25 genes possibly related to the primer sensitivity on annealing process to cDNA template and the size of PCR targeted DNA fragment, as smaller PCR targeted product will be easier to be amplified than a bigger one. The length of PCR targeted DNA with GP25 primer was 1.8 kbp whereas GFP gene was 0.6 kbp.The challenge test on common carp results showed that all unvaccinated and negative control (not infected with KHV) was alive until the end of the experiment. Whereas, the survival of fish vaccinated with a dose of 12.5 was ranged from 60.9 and 96.7%. In relation to the activity of β-actin promoter that was used in this DNA vaccine, gene expression was occured 24 hours after vaccination and remained until 2 weeks. The control fish that was not injected by GP25 showed no GP25 expression either in the observed tissues or organs and resulted in a lower survival, i.e. 23.3%. The challenge test results has indicated that the fish vaccinated with GP25 at doses of 7.5 and 12.5 μg/100μL were able to produce KHV glycoprotein in their body which would be
