Judul: Efisiensi Pemasaran Dan Determinan Penentu Pilihan Saluran Pemasaran Bunga Potong Krisan Di Kabupaten Cianjur
Abstrak: Bunga potong krisan adalah komoditas hortikultura yang memiliki tingkat produksi tertinggi di Indonesia dan diminati oleh masyarakat karena memiliki keanekaragaman bentuk bunga, warna bunga dan jenis bunga. Bunga potong krisan juga memiliki beberapa manfaat yaitu dapat digunakan sebagai bahan dasar rangkaian bunga, penyerap polusi bahkan tanaman obat tradisional. Salah satu sentra bunga potong krisan nasional adalah di Kabupaten Cianjur yang menyumbang 53% total produksi untuk Provinsi Jawa Barat. Produksi bunga potong krisan yang tinggi ternyata juga diikuti dengan semakin tingginya selisih harga ditingkat petani dengan harga di tingkat pedagang akhir setiap tahunnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efisiensi dan juga mengetahui determinan penentu pilihan saluran pemasaran oleh petani bunga potong krisan di Kabupaten Cianjur. Responden dalam penelitian ini meliputi petani bunga potong krisan, pedagang pengumpul, pedagang besar dan floris. Efisiensi pemasaran dianalisis menggunakan Composite index method dan Acharya and Aggarwal’s method, dengan menggunakan tiga indikator yaitu marjin pemasaran, Farmer’s Share dan biaya pemasaran. Determinan penentu pilihan saluran pemasaran oleh petani bunga potong krisan di analisis dengan menggunakan regresi multinomial logit yaitu dengan menetapkan saluran pemsaran yang efisien sebagai variabel acuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini terdapat tiga saluran pemasaran bunga potong krisan di kabupaten Cianjur, yaitu: (1) petani–pedagang pengumpul–pedagang besar– konsumen, (2) petani–pedagang besar–konsumen, dan (3) petani–floris–konsumen. Saluran pemasaran yang paling efisien adalah saluran 2, karena memiliki nilai composite index terkecil yaitu 1, dan berdasarkan analisis Acharya and Aggarwal’s method, saluran 2 memiliki nilai efisiensi terbesar yaitu 1,14. Determinan penentu pilihan saluran pemasaran oleh petani bunga potong krisan dipengaruhi oleh enam faktor, yaitu usia, pendidikan, volume penjualan, harga per ikat, ikatan modal dan biaya transportasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terlihat bahwa saluran yang efisien adalah saluran 2 (melalui pedagang besar), sedangkan saluran yang paling banyak dipilih petani adalah saluran 1 (melalui pedagang pengumpul) karena adanya keterikatan modal, oleh karena itu perlu adanya dukungan dari pemerintah daerah maupun pusat berupa pendampingan atau bantuan dalam hal mendapatkan modal usaha, bantuan bibit, pupuk, agar petani tidak selalu tergantung kepada pedagang pengumpul. Pendampingan dan bantuan modal usaha ini juga perlu pengawasan agar bantuan dapat termanfaatkan dan tepat sasaran., Chrysanthemum cut flowers are horticultural commodities that have the highest production level in Indonesia and are in demand by the public because they have a variety of flower shapes, flower colors and types of flowers. Chrysanthemum cut flowers also have several benefits, namely they can be used as the basis for flower arrangements, absorb pollution and even traditional medicinal plants. One of the national chrysanthemum cut flower centers is in Cianjur Regency, which accounts for 53% of the total production for West Java Province. The high production of chrysanthemum cut flowers was also followed by a higher price difference at the farmer level with the price at the final trader level each year. This study aims to analyze the efficiency and also determine the determinants of the choice of marketing channel by chrysanthemum cut flower farmers in Cianjur Regency. Respondents in this study included chrysanthemum cut flower farmers, collectors, wholesalers and florists. Marketing efficiency was analyzed using the Composite index method and Acharya and Aggarwal's method, using three indicators, namely

Judul: Analisis Tataniaga Bunga Krisan di Kecamatan Cugenang Kabupaten Cianjur
Abstrak: Chrysanthemum is one of cut flower that contribute highest production in Indonesia. From 2008 until 2012, chrysanthemum production has been increased from 101 777 126 to 397 651 571 stalks. The purpose of this research is to analyze marketing channels, marketing institutions, marketing functions, marketing structures, marketing conducts and marketing channel efficienct based on marketing margin, farmer’s share and profit ratio against cost. Observation and interview were conducted to farmers through random sampling technique then the next marketing institution using snowball sampling. The result of this research shows that chrysanthemum marketing in Cugenang consist of four channels with marketing institute consist of middleman and wholesalers. Highest profit can be achieved by farmers when using marketing channel III, the profit achieved by farmers is Rp473.00/stalk. Highest margin value also achieved on marketing channel III, that is Rp1 313.00/stalk. Marketing channel II is the one that have highest farmer’s share, that is 54.57 percent. Higher farmer’s share value compared to other marketing channel means that channel have higher efficiency compare to other channel operationally

Judul: Sintesis BaTiO3 dari Campuran Ba(OH)2 dan TiO2 dengan Tambahan PbO
Abstrak: Piezoelectric material can generate electric field in response to applied mechanical stress. Conversely, they can stretch and contract in response to an electric field. This material can be used for many applications such as transducer, microphone, ultrasound, and pressure gauge. Barium titanate is a ferroelectric material with piezoelectric properties that can be synthesized easily. The aim of this study is to synthesis barium titanate from mixture of Ba(OH)2 and TiO2, also observe its optimum temperature and the effect of PbO addition. The method of synthesis was solid-state reaction and sol-gel method, then the products were characterized with x-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on XRD analysis, the optimum temperature for both methods was 800°C. Addition of PbO to BaTiO3 in the solid-state reaction formed a compound with formula of Ba1-xPbxTiO3. The addition has changed diffraction pattern peak at 2θ and strengthened its tetragonal structure. The best result was obtained at x of 0.5 which will form a compound of Ba0.5Pb0.5TiO3.
