Judul: Peran Kepemimpinan Dalam Keberhasilan Pengelolaan Program Spp Pnpm Mandiri Perdesaan
Abstrak: Kurang berhasilnya program yang dibuat pemerintah kebanyakan berhubungan dengan lemahnya partisipasi masyarakat dan hal ini berkaitan dengan lemahnya peranan pemimpin. Studi ini dibatasi dengan program Simpan Pinjam untuk kelompok Perempuan (SPP) PNPM Mandiri Perdesaan di Desa Tajurhalang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan peran kepemimpinan dan faktor lainnya dengan partisipasi masyarakat dan keberhasilan pengelolaan program SPP PNPM Mandiri Perdesaan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survei dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu cluster random sampling dengan gugus kelompok yang aktif dan kelompok yang kurang aktif dan masing-masing anggota kelompok dijadikan sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) peran kepemimpinan ternyata meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dan faktor lainnya yang meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat adalah tingkat pendidikan, dukungan kepala desa, intensitas sosialisasi kegiatan, dan keaktifan tim pendamping, sedangkan lamanya mengikuti program tidak menjamin meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat; (2) partisipasi masyarakat ternyata meningkatkan keberhasilan pengelolaan program dalam peningkatan jumlah pendapatan, pengembalian cicilan, dan terpenuhinya kebutuhan dasar, sedangkan pada tahap evaluasi tidak menjamin adanya keragaman pekerjaan.

Judul: Partisipasi perempuan dalam kegiatan simpan pinjam kelompok perempuan (SPP) (kasus PNPM Mandiri perdesaan di salah satu desa di kabupaten Banyumas)
Abstrak: Population of poor in Indonesia is not significantly decreasing. In consequence, Government perform strategies to overcome the problem. One of them is by launching the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM) Independent Rural Areas. There are three activities suggested in PNPM Independent Rural Areas, they are Women group Savings and Loans (SPP), Facilities and Infrastructure Developments and the Life Quality Improvements. This research focuses on the activities in the SPP and is expected to contribute women in improving their welfare. The purposes of this research are to analyze the internal and external factors which are closely related to the level of women participation in the Women Group Savings and Loans and to analyze the relationship between the women participation with the success rate of SPP activity. Meanwhile, the determination of the respondents number is set by non-proportional method. This research operated survey method with quantitative which is supported by qualitative approach. Quantitative data obtained by interviewing the women of SPP members based on planned questionnaire guide. While, the qualitative data is obtained by interviewing the parties who were involved in the activities. The results showed that age was the only internal factor in the activities of SPP which is closely linked to women participation. However, external factors did not closely linked with women participation level dan participation level with the sucsess rate of the SPP activity.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
