Judul: Evaluasi Efektivitas Distribusi Pupuk Bersubsidi ke Petani di Kota Bogor (Studi Kasus: Kelompok Tani Fajar Gumbira).
Abstrak: Subsidi pertanian merupakan bantuan yang diberikan pemerintah untuk petani, peternak dan pekebun untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dalam pertanian. Subsidi pertanian dapat berupa benih, pupuk ataupun subsidi dalam bentuk kredit, salah satunya subsidi pupuk. Tujuan pemberian subsidi pupuk adalah untuk membantu petani, pekebun, peternak dan petambak untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pupuk sesuai azas enam tepat (tepat jumlah, jenis, waktu, tempat, mutu, harga). Namun, dalam subsidi pertanian yang termasuk subsidi pupuk memiliki permasalahan, seperti pergeseran dari paradigma “protektif” di masa lalu menuju paradigma “pasar bebas” dan penyaluran pupuk bersubsidi yang tidak efektif. Hasil penelitian bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bahwa efektivitas perencanaan subsidi pupuk yang tidak sesuai dengan Rencana Definitif Kebutuhan Kelompok (RDKK 2015) pada PERMENTAN adalah penyaluran subsidi pada Lini III dan Lini IV. Sehingga hal tersebut mengakibatkan Harga Eceran Tertinggi (HET) menjadi lebih tinggi, ketidaktepatan waktu dan jumlah daripada yang seharusnya serta pendistribusian yang tidak mengikuti aturan pada PERMENTAN dan PERMENDAG.

Judul: Analisis Efektivitas Subsidi Pupuk dan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Produksi Padi (Studi Kasus Desa Hambaro, Kecamatan Nanggung, Kabupaten Bogor)
Abstrak: Agriculture is an important aspect in favor fora country survival. Indonesia, as an agricultural country places the agriculture as the dominant sector in the national economy. Therefore, there are various government policies that support the production of the agricultural sector. One of those policies is the fertilizer subsidy policy. The fertilizer subsidy policy is fiscal policy which aims to support the agricultural sector by providing the input in subsidies setting HET fertilizer form. This policy is implemented based on six indicators of the success; the right type, quantity, price, quality, place, and time. The purpose of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of the fertilizer subsidy policy and to determine the factors that affect the production of rice. Observations and interviews in the rice-producing regions had done in the Hambaro-Bogor village which were taken through purposive sampling method. Analytical method used is descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods, and multiple linear regression methods. The results show that the effectiveness of the fertilizer subsidy policy isbased on four indicators, those are names, right place, right price, and punctuality. However, the right amount of fertilizer subsidy policy approves thatit is still not categorized as effective yet. The ineffectiveness of the subsidy of fertilizer effect on rice production turns out as shown on the results of the regression. Variable rates of fertilizer urea have a negative and significant effect on the demand for urea fertilizer. It means that if the urea fertilizer prices increased,the demand for urea fertilizer would be lower. In addition, variable price of rice and land area have a positive and significant impact on the demand for urea fertilizer. Variable amount of price of urea, price of npk, labor, land area of seed and dummy has a positive and significant impact on the production of rice. In other words, the event of changes toward these factors will have an effect on the production of rice.

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.
