Judul: Persepsi badan usaha di bidang kehutanan terhadap sarjana kehutanan
Abstrak: Pengelolaan hutan lestari memerlukan penerapan Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi (IPTEK) Kehutanan. Hal ini harus didukung oleh sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas dan ruang penerapan IPTEK di lembaga atau badan usaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kecenderungan lembaga pemerintah dan badan usaha di bidang kehutanan untuk merekrut tenaga kerja, kecakapan kompetensi yang seharusnya dimiliki sarjana kehutanan, dan pengembangan karier pada badan usaha kehutanan. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara dengan responden satu lembaga pemerintah dan empat badan usaha yang dipilih secara sengaja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan badan usaha di bidang kehutanan memprioritaskan sarjana kehutanan untuk direkrut sebagai tenaga kerja. Sarjana kehutanan dituntut untuk memiliki ketahanan dan minat bekerja di lapang. Badan usaha di bidang kehutanan tidak memiliki mekanisme pengembangan karier yang jelas dan fasilitas tempat kerja terbatas. Kesesuaian antara tuntutan, fasilitas, dan pengembangan karier menjadi tantangan pendayagunaan tenaga kerja sarjana kehutanan.

Judul: Sintesis α-Fe2O3 menggunakan metode sol gel
Abstrak: In this reseach was succeeded make powder α-Fe2O3 with particle size 202.64 nm. Synthesis using Sol-Gel method with SiO2 coating derived from Si(OC2H5)4 at temperature of 750 oC for 5 hours. Characterization XRD prove that sample form is α-Fe2O3 (11 peaks) and β-Fe2O3 (2 peaks) with crystal size 20.69125 nm and crystallization 44 %. The cystal structure of α-Fe2O3 is rhombohedral and β-Fe2O3 is hexsagonal. Optic characterization show that the sample absorbing light at wavelength less than 480 nm. Bandgap energy of the optical characterization measurments is 2.74 eV.
