Judul: Peranan Gender pada Rumah Tangga Petani di Desa Sunten Jaya, Kecamatan Lembang, Kabupaten Bandung Barat
Abstrak: Farming is one of many alternative employments for the rural communities in Indonesia. Farming gave opportunity for men and women to get involved. Not only in farming, the involvement of men and women can be found in the domestic activities and social activities. The objective of this research is to analyze gender roles of horticulture farmers families and breeders families at Sunten Jaya Village, Lembang Sub-district, West Bandung District. Men and women in two types families have the different gender roles according to their abilities. Research results show that activities and decision-making in reproductive are dominated by women, whereas activities and decision-making in productive are dominated by men. In addition, characteristic of farming, characteristic of family and the level of gender awareness are affecting the level of gender equality in farmers families.

Judul: Analisis Gender dalam Rumah Tangga Petani Melinjo
Abstrak: Keterlibatan perempuan memiliki peran yang besar dalam keluarga, baik untuk kegiatan produktif maupun reproduktif khususnya pada kegiatan ekonomi yang sebenarnya dapat menunjang pendapatan rumah tangga. Analisis gender diperlukan sebagai alat untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan dan peran antara laki-laki dan perempuan yang mengacu pada Kerangka Analisis Penelitian Gender Harvard. Lokasi penelitian ini yaitu di Desa Sukalaba, Kecamatan Gunungsari, Kabupaten Serang, Provinsi Banten. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif melalui metode survey dengan kuesioner yang didukung oleh data kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam kepada informan dan studi literatur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) Mengidentifikasi karakteristik rumah tangga petani melinjo. (2) Menganalisis tingkat kesetaraan gender dalam rumah tangga petani melinjo. (3) Menganalisis hubungan karakteristik rumah tangga petani melinjo dengan tingkat kesetaraan gender dalam rumah tangga petani melinjo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat ketidaksetaraan gender pada pembagian kerja di mana dalam aktivitas produktif di dominasi oleh laki-laki dan aktivitas reproduktif di dominasi perempuan. Kesetaraan gender dalam akses dan kontrol terhadap sumber daya yang dimiliki rumah tangga masih belum setara karena didominasi oleh laki-laki.

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.
