Judul: Persepsi dan motivasi berperanserta dalam pos pemberdayaan keluarga (Posdaya): kasus Peserta Posdaya Mandiri Terpadu di RW 01, Desa Cikarawang, Kecamatan Dramaga, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan penduduk Indonesia per tahun sangat pesat setiap tahunnya. Peningkatan penduduk yang terus bertambah membuat pemerintah khawatir akan peningkatan kematian ibu hamil, kematian bayi dan anak, penyebaran penyakit menular, dan gizi anak yang buruk. Setiap masalah ini akan berdampak pada mutu manusia yang rendah dan putus sekolah. Oleh karena itu, dianjurkan untuk membentuk Posdaya pada setiap daerah yang memiliki kepedulian dan komitmen yang tinggi terhadap pengembangan sumber daya manusia, khususnya melalui pemberdayaan keluarga dengan prioritas pada pengentasan kemiskinan. Posdaya berpengaruh terhadap kesadaran masyarakat dan pemberdayaan agar kesejahteraan keluarga meningkat sehingga diperlukan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pelaksanaan program Posdaya. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi partisipasi masyarakat ialah kemauan masyarakat untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya. Kemauan dipengaruhi oleh persepsi dan motivasi masyarakat dalam melaksanakan program. Jika masyarakat memiliki persepsi yang positif maka, masyarakat akan ikut berpartisipasi dalam program Posdaya jika tujuan program Posdaya menguntungkan bagi mereka dan memenuhi kebutuhan mereka.

Judul: Tingkat Partisipasi dan Kemandirian Masyarakat dalam Bidang Ekonomi Program Posdaya (Kasus Posdaya Bina Sejahtera Kelurahan Pasir Mulya Kota Bogor)
Abstrak: Posdaya program is a service institution on family empowerment provided for community to reach welfare through integrated eight family functions. This study aims to analyze both internal and external factors dealing with participation and independence and the relation between community’s participation and independence in the economic view upon “posdaya” program of Bina Sejahtera Posdaya. The study used explanatory research designs involving 87 respondents; namely, the community becoming the members and participants of posdaya. The technique used to determine the samples was simple random sampling, while the method to gather data was by survey. Data were then analyzed by applying descriptive statistics including frequency, percentile, score mean, score total, and cross tabulation. Meanwhile, to test the correlation, Tau B- Kendall with the help of SPSS version 17 was used. It was found that community’s participation in economic view was significantly low in the aspects of planning, implementing, and evaluating the results, whereas the aspect of enjoying the result fell into the low level. Conversely, the independency on mental attitude belonged to the high level. Furthermore, the internal factors that showed an obviously positive correlation with participation were formal education, family income, and cosmopolitans, whereas the external factors comprised the support for family, the roles of both key persons and assistance. Moreover, the external factors which were positively correlated with independence were family support and the roles of the key persons and assistance. Likewise, the significantly positive correlation was found in the level of participation and independence of the community in the economic view of posdaya program.

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.
