Judul: Model of development strategy for leading agroindustry cluster using core competence in the kabupaten region and the related institutions
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to develop a model of development strategy for upgrading the existing agglomeration of agroindustry in the region into a well functioning industrial cluster. Due to paucity of economic data and the absence of industry and trade input-output table at the regional and local level, an appropriate model needs to be developed. The required input data for each agroindustry group analysed in the model are: the number of establishment, the number of empbyee, the amount of value added, and the expert opinions. The model comprises of several analytical techniques such as: Multi Sectoral Qualitative Analysis (MSQA), Shift-Share Analysis, Location Quotient (LQ), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM), and Independent Preference Evaluation (IPE).

Judul: Direction and strategy of rural area development using agropolitan approach in Blitar regency
Abstrak: One of the ways to solve the problem between the urban and rural gaps was applying the assessment model of regional development by using agropolitan approach. This approach became relevant to rural areas because agriculture sector and natural resource management had become the main livelihood of most rural communities. The aims of this study were: 1). to identify the typology of subdistricts in Blitar regency; 2). to analyze the prime agriculture commodities; 3). to determine the regional development center; 4). to formulate the direction and regional development strategy. The data analysis used in this study were Cluster Analysis, LQ and Shift Share, P-Median and A’WOT. The results showed that the typology of sub-districts in Blitar regency could be divided in three clusters e.g.: Cluster 1 with the development centre in Sanankulon sub-district was the paddy rice producing areas, Cluster 2 with the development centre in Wlingi sub-district was the plantation commodities areas and Cluster 3 with the development centre in Panggungrejo sub-district was the dry land farming areas. The direction and strategy development of those three clusters were increasing the productivity, cooperating with private sectors, training and disseminating, and supporting the farmers.

Judul: Penapisan Hepadnavirus Secara Serologik Dan Molekuler Pada Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca Fascicularis) Di Habitat Ex-Situ
Abstrak: Penemuan infeksi virus hepatitis B (VHB) monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) di Pulau Mauritius pada tahun 2013 merupakan temuan baru yang menunjukan bahwa penyakit ini dapat menginfeksi jenis satwa primata dari famili Cercopithecidae. Temuan tersebut hanya dilaporkan pada M. fascicularis yang berada di benua Afrika, sehingga menjadi alasan dilakukannya investigasi pada M. fascicularis asal Indonesia. Untuk mendapatkan gambaran keadaan tersebut, sampel darah M. fascicularis diambil dari berbagai lokasi habitat ex-situ. Uji penapisan terhadap antigen permukaan virus hepatitis B (Hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg) dilakukan pada 95 sampel plasma dan serum M. fascicularis yang berasal dari penangkaran, pusat penyelamatan satwa, dan topeng monyet. Upaya pemeriksaan DNA VHB dilakukan pada sampel yang menunjukan hasil seropositif terhadap HBsAg. Uji penapisan menunjukan bahwa sebanyak 11 dari 95 (11.6%) sampel reaktif terhadap HBsAg. Antigen permukaan virus hepatitis B lebih banyak ditemukan pada monyet di pusat penyelamatan satwa dan topeng monyet (55%) dibandingkan dengan satwa penangkaran (45%). Hasil seropositif HBsAg pada sampel M. fascicularis yang diperiksa dengan teknik ELISA menggunakan kit HBsAg manusia mengindikasikan adanya kemiripan protein antigen permukaan VHB manusia dengan yang ditemukan pada M. fascicularis, karena antibodi monoklonal yang digunakan dalam uji ELISA pada penelitian ini bersifat spesifik mengikat HBsAg manusia. Meskipun uji PCR terhadap sampel tersebut tidak menunjukkan adanya DNA VHB, hasil seropositif HBsAg mengindikasikan bahwa M. fascicularis dapat terinfeksi VHB atau virus yang mirip VHB secara alami.
