Judul: Persepsi Mahasiswa Fakultas Kehutanan dan Lingkungan IPB: Pengaruh Pandemi Covid-19 pada Bisnis Kehutanan
Abstrak: Munculnya situasi pandemi yang datang secara tiba-tiba akibat virus Covid-19 memberikan dampak serius di Indonesia bahkan dunia. Penularan virus Covid-19 yang sangat cepat melalui udara, air dan sentuhan menyebabkan terganggunya mobilitas kerja masyarakat dan mengganggu pergerakan roda ekonomi. Salah satu sektor perekonomian yang terkena imbas pandemi Covid-19 adalah bisnis kehutanan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pandangan kalangan mahasiswa kehutanan IPB mengenai arah bisnis kehutanan setelah pandemi Covid-19. Pandangan mahasiswa digali dengan kuesioner yang terbagi menjadi 5 bagian yaitu kinerja industri kehutanan Indonesia berdasar kategori bentuk/jenis komoditas, titik berat industri kehutanan Indonesia dari jenis kategori hulu vs. hilir, perlindungan bagi para pekerja kehutanan, strategi untuk mempertahankan/meningkatkan kinerja sektor kehutanan di tingkat global, dan pandangan personal terhadap masa depan., The emergence of a pandemic situation that came suddenly due to the Covid-19 virus had a serious impact on Indonesia and even the world. The rapid transmission of the Covid-19 virus through air, water, and touch has disrupted people's work mobility and disrupted the movement of the economy. One of the economic sectors affected by the Covid-19 pandemic is the forestry business. The purpose of this study was to identify the views of IPB forestry students regarding the direction of the forestry business after the presence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Student views were explored with a questionnaire which was divided into 5 parts, namely the performance of the Indonesian forestry industry based on the category of form/type of commodity, the focus of the Indonesian forestry industry on type upstream category vs. downstream, protection for forestry workers, strategies to maintain/improve the performance of the forestry sector at the global level, and a personal view of the future.

Judul: Persepsi Mahasiswa Fakultas Kehutanan Institut Pertanian Bogor untuk Berkiprah di Bidang Kehutanan
Abstrak: Increasing the role of educated human resource especially forestry is expected to overcome the problems of poverty and degradation of forest resources. According to data DPKHA IPB (2013), the percentage of Faculty of Forestry alumni who were graduate from 2009 to 2011, which work in forestry are 64.11% and only 2.8% who take part in developing entrepreneurship. This research aims to determine the tendency of students to take part in the Faculty of Forestry by working in government institutions, private companies, or entrepreneurship. Retrieval of data using questionnaires with respondents are students of the Faculty of Forestry IPB class of 2010 to 2012. Results showed 82% of students want to work in the forestry sector by choosing the government sector with the highest percentage of 65.26%; whereas, for the development of forestry entrepreneurs only chosen by 10.64% of respondents. The tendency of students to collaborate with forestry students, other agricultural and communities in the development of entrepreneurship is relatively high with percentage of requirement above 90%.

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.
