Judul: Pengaruh Infrastruktur Jalan Terhadap Peningkatan Kinerja Ukm Tas Di Kecamatan Ciampea, Kabupaten Bogor.
Abstrak: Peranan Usaha Kecil dan Menengah (UKM) dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi wilayah sudah tidak terbantahkan lagi. Industri kecil dan menengah mampu mempercepat pemulihan ekonomi, baik dari sisi penyerapan tenaga kerja maupun kontribusinya dalam penciptaan nilai tambah bruto. Namun demikian dengan diberlakukannya ACFTA (ASEAN-China Free Trade Area) industri ini harus mampu besaing dengan industri luar sehingga perlu mendapatkan dukungan kebijakan dari pemerintah, khususnya pemerintah daerah.

Judul: Analisis Indeks Kinerja Usaha Kecil Menengah di Kota Bogor.
Abstrak: Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) merupakan lokomotif pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia. Dalam kerangka ekonomi nasional, UKM sudah menyumbang dalam perekrutan tenaga kerja, peningkatan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) serta penambahan nilai ekspor dan investasi nasional. Dalam visi dan misi Pemerintah Kota Bogor, UKM diharapkan dapat menjadi penyangga ekonomi Kota Bogor dalam menghadapi persaingan pasar bebas. Saat ini tercatat sejumlah 13.953 UKM di Kota Bogor. Indeks keberlanjutan berdasarkan multidimensional scaling dapat digunakan untuk mengukur status kinerja UKM dan merumuskan strategi yang perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan daya saingnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa indeks keberlanjutan rata-rata untuk UKM di Kota Bogor adalah sebesar 49.8 yang berarti UKM kota Bogor berada dalam kondisi cukup berkembang (nilai indeks di bawah 50). Hal yang perlu mendapat perhatian dalam peningkatan daya saing adalah faktor ekologi dan ekonomi. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa perubahan pada dimensi terkait dapat meningkatkan nilai rata-rata indeks keberlanjutan menjadi di atas 60 (kategori baik).

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
