Judul: Kelayakan Usaha Tempe Skala Kecil dan Menengah di Kecamatan Baleendah Kabupaten Bandung
Abstrak: Tempe is one of many Indonesian traditional food that highly nutritious. The aim of this research was to analyze the feasibility of the 2 scales of tempe business wich are above 100 kg/day scale of business and below 100 kg/day scale of business. Analysis method used was non financial analysis method such as market aspects, technical aspects, management aspects, and legal aspects, social and environmental aspects. Financial analysis was determined by some criterias such as NPV, IRR, Net B/C and Payback Period. Switching value analysis conducted to measure the change of the price increase and decrease in soybean production. The result showed that both of the two scales of tempe business were feasible. The result of switching values analysis showed that on both scales the decreasing of production had more impact on/ was more affecting business feasibility than that of the increasing of soybean price.

Abstrak: Salah satu komoditas yang membuat Indonesia bergantung pada impor agar ketersediaannya selalu ada adalah kedelai. Akibatnya harga kedelai impor tidak terjaga kestabilannya. Kenaikan harga kedelai impor di dalam negeri disebabkan beberapa faktor seperti melemahnya nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar dan kenaikan harga kedelai di pasar dunia. Dampak naiknya harga kedelai adalah berkurangnya profitabilitas UMKM keripik tempe pada masing-masing skala usaha. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui profitabilitas masing-masing skala usaha dan mengetahui skala usaha yang paling bertahan pada penurunan ukuran tempe. Profitabilitas usaha dihitung dengan perhitungan titik impas, Marginal Income Ratio (MIR) dan Marginal of Safety (MOS) serta dilakukan perhitungan analisis sensitivitas untuk mengetahui skala usaha yang paling bertahan pada penurunan ukuran tempe. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah usaha dengan kapasitas produksi keripik tempe paling besar tidak memiliki profitabilitas tertinggi dan tidak tahan terhadap penurunan ukuran tempe. Usaha mikro lebih menguntungkan dan lebih mampu bertahan jika dibandingkan dengan usaha kecil.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
