Judul: The Dimensions of Javanese villages
Abstrak: The purpose of this study was to develop a method, based on avail- Java and Madura, and to explore the significant relationships between able statistics, of describing basic dimensions of the 76 regencies in the dimensions thus measured. Previous work of the Government and some reports pertinent to villages were examined and on the basis of a part of these sources it was possible to derive a list of community dimensions through the procedure of factor analysis. Correlations among the 33 variables were calculated. The resulting correlation matrix was factor analyzed using the principal component method and rotated by the Varimax procedure. Nine factors were extracted which account for about three-quarters of the variance in the variables. The nine successively emerging factors are interpreted as designating certain basic dimensions and labelled as follows: Factor I Institutional complexity, Factor II Traditional pattern of village government, Factor III Rural-urban continuum, Factor IV Size of regency, Factor V Socio-economic condition, Factor VI Communalism, Factor VII Sosial density, Factor VIII Social organizational stability, Factor IX, Occupational differentiation. The relative magnitude of the factors was also examined. Factor VII, social density, seemed to be the most general factor in terms of the proportion of the variance it explained. Factor IV, size of regency was the strongest in terms of internal stability. Two devices were developed to describe and compare the regencies. The West-Javanese regencies have been shown to be more heterogeneous compared with those in Central and East-Java. Village governments in West-Java were less traditional than those in Central and East-Java. The degree of institutional complexity of Central-Javanese village government has been proved to be higher than those in East-Java. Although the scale was shown to be useful in describing the regencies comparatively, the profile was better in describing individual regencies. Some implications of the findings were illustrated.

Judul: A Case Study Of Kecamatan Cibadak, West Java, And Kecamatan Kendal, Central Java
Abstrak: I frankly admit that I am unable to recall the names of so many generous contributors; among them are also hundreds of respondents and informants who have been purposely kept anonymous. most likely it was Without being fully acknowledged, they who in fact substantiated my endeavours to gain a deeper understanding of the organizational phenomenon in selected rural communities of Java. It is for this reason that I spontaneously and gratefully wish to dedicate the findings of my research to them, and through them to the thousands of village people in the Districts of Cibadak and Kendal. It is my hope indeed that eventually the villagers at large will benefit most from suggested changes in government policy concerning rural reconstruction and development. I envisage that they in a collective sense will be the final judge of my observations and analyses. Villagers have been silent for extended lapses of time already, and it is their tacit message which I have attempted to penetrate, comprehend and reflect in the present study. It is primarily for the sake of scientific communication that my account at this stage has to be cast in a more professional format using appropriate sociological jargon where perhaps colloquial language would fail or be inadequate to communicate my perceptions more precisely. dst. …

Judul: Penambahan α-Tocopherol sebagai Antioksidan dalam Pengencer Tris Kuning Telur Spermatozoa Kucing pada Suhu 4 ⁰C
Abstrak: Stres oksidatif pada sperma terjadi selama pengolahan semen dan berdampak pada kerusakan sperma. Antioksidan α-Tocopherol merupakan salah satu antioksidan yang termasuk ke dalam kelompok antioksigen. Antioksidan ini dapat mengurangi aksi radikal bebas dan menurunkan stress oksidatif pada sperma. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas penambahan α-tocopherol pada pengencer tris-kuning telur terhadap kualitas semen cair yang berasal dari kauda epididimis kucing. Kauda epipidimis kucing didapatkan dengan metode kastrasi. Kauda epididimis kemudian dipisah dan dicacah untuk mendapatkan spermatozoa kucing. Semen dengan motilitas >70% diencerkan pada kelompok pengencer tris kuning telur (TKT), tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.1% (TKT+T-0.1%), tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.2% (TKT+T-0.2%), dan tris kuning telur dengan α-tocopherol 0.3% (TKT+T-0.3%). Semen cair disimpan selama 4 hari (H0-H4) pada suhu 4 °C, kemudian dilakukan evaluasi kualitasnya (motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas dan membran plasma utuh sperma) setiap 24 jam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kualitas semen cair tidak berbeda signifikan pada H0 (P>0.05), tetapi penambahan α-tocopherol secara umum meningkatkan kualitas semen pada H4 pascapreservasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, kelompok pengencer TKT+T-0.1% adalah perlakuan terbaik.
