Judul: Pemberdayaan Keluarga Miskin Dalam Program Pengembangan Kecamatan Menurut Perspektif Pekerjaan Sosial (Studi Kasus di Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras, Kabupaten Pelalawan, Provinsi Riau).
Abstrak: Program Pengembangan Kecamatan (PPK) belum berhasil memberdayakan keluarga miskin. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pemahaman pemberdayaan keluarga miskin (an empowerment poor family) dengan menganalisis PPK menurut perspektif pekerjaan sosial di Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras. Penelitian difokuskan pada proses partisipasi, transfer kekuasaan, perbaikan kualitas hidup . Tujuan penelitian adalah memahami pola hubungan masyarakat mempengaruhi kehidupan keluarga miskin di Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras, upaya pemberdayaan yang dilaksanakan pemerintah dan masyarakat Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras, proses pemberdayaan dalam PPK menurut perspektif pekerjaan sosial, dan menyusun rancangan program pemberdayaan keluarga miskin di Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu pengamatan partisipasi, wawancara mendalam dan studi. Analisis data menggunakan studi kasus dengan menentukan subyek kasus. Hasil evaluasi kegiatan, PPK belum berhasil memberdayakan keluarga miskin. PPK tidak memberikan peluang dan kekuasaan kepada keluarga miskin dalam berpartisipasi, mengambil keputusan dan pemanfaatan hasil bantuan PPK. Keluarga miskin tidak meningkat penghasilannya dengan adanya pembangunan sarana fisik. Penentuan lokasi bantuan dengan cara kompetisi tidak memberikan pendidikan dalam proses pemberdayaan. Terjadi inkonsistensi antara tujuan, aturan dan pelaksanaan mengakibatkan program ini kurang efektif. Rancangan program pemberdayaan keluarga miskin dilakukan dengan cara menyempurnakan PPK melalui diklat pengembangan PPK dan asesmen kebutuhan keluarga miskin.

Judul: Biology and ecology of the buffalo fly, haematobia exigua de meijere (diptera:muscidae)
Abstrak: The life history of the buffalo fly was observed at room temperature of 27°-29.5°C and at a relative humidity of 48-68 percent. The eggs hatched after 17-22 hours, with an average of 18 hours. First instar larvae measured 1.25 + 0.16 mm long and 0.27 + 0.037 mm wide. reach the second larval stage. It took 6-12 hours to the second instar larvae measured 2.676 +0.187 mm long and 0.353 +0.028 mm wide. The second instar took about 12-24 hours to reach the third larval stage. The third instar measured 6.833 + 0.189 mm long and 0.919 + 0.051 mm wide. It took about 2-3 days for the third instar to become pupae. Duration of the pupal stage was about 5-7 days before the adults emerged. Under laboratory condition, the buffalo fly completed its life cycle in 9.5 to 10.5 days, whereas under field condition it took 9-14 days with an average of 10.5 days. The growth ratio which was based on the measurements of the cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton of each instar was 1.797. The preoviposition period was 8-12 days and mating usually occurred on the 6th or 7th day. The longevity of the male was 29 days, whereas it was 32 days in the female. The range of egg production under laboratory condition was between 20-139 per female fly. The belly and hind legs of the carabao were the most preferred habitat either during cloudy and cool dry or shiny and warm day. When the weather was clear and the carabao was in the shade, the flies tended to be more distributed particularly on the shoulder, dewlap, back and horns. The carabaos had relatively fewer Musca sp. and Stomoxys calcitrans than cattle; never the less carabaos had a higher infestation of buffalo fly than cattle. Oviposition occured either during the day or night but the buffalo flies were more active during the night than in the day time. The effect of various lengths of exposure time of manure in relation to the oviposition was profound. observed, the maximum number of the buffalo flies was occurred when the dung was exposed for 30 minutes. With increasing time of exposure the number and variety of insects also increase. It was evident that Sepsidae and psychodidae were the most dominant insects emerging from the dung. The number of buffalo flies also increased with increasing
