Judul: Financial Analysis and Sustainability Strategy for Livestock Businesses Recipients of the 1000 Cow Village Program (Case Study: Kecamatan Ngadiluwih, Kabupaten Kediri)
Abstrak: Kecamatan Ngadiluwih merupakan salah satu daerah Penerima Program 1000 Desa Sapi. Terdapat lima kelompok ternak yang mendapatkan program bantuan ini. Kelima kelompok ternak tersebut belum sepenuhnya melakukan pencatatan administrasi rutin terutama dalam pencatatan keuangan sehingga peternak masih belum merasakan atau memperkirakan apakah usaha yang dijalankan dapat menghasilkan keuntungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelayakan program dan strategi keberlanjutan usaha ternak penerima Program 1000 Desa Sapi di Kecamatan Ngadiluwih. Metode deskriptif digunakan untuk mengevaluasi program, sedangkan aspek kelayakan menggunakan CBA dengan kriteria investasi yaitu NPV, Net B/C, IRR, dan PP, serta analisis SWOT untuk menentukan strategi keberlanjutan di Kecamatan Ngadiluwih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada aspek evaluasi terdapat kendala pada aspek operasional-manajerial-institusional dan aspek pemasaran, hasil analisis kelayakan finansial menunjukkan bahwa usaha ternak sapi potong layak untuk dijalankan, serta stategi yang tepat untuk dilakukan adalah strategi pemasaran produk dan penetrasi pasar.

Judul: Prospek pengembangan usaha peternakan sapi potong di Kecamatan Surade Kabupaten Sukabumi
Abstrak: The objective of the research were 1) to identification internal and ekstemal factors which can influences beef cattle farming development in Surade Sub-District, 2) to formulate the strategy of beef cattle development in Surade Sub-District. Primary data obtained by direct interview with the beef cattle farmer, used questionaue as the tool. Secondary data obtained from relevant institutions sources that related with the topic of the research, the data analyzed descriptive quantitative method. The result of feseability study analysis showed Net Present Value (NPV) equal to Rp. 5,670,144,68, Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) equal to 1.52, Interest Rate Ratio (IRR) equal to 22% and Pay Back Period (PBP) equal to 4 year. The return cost ratio (RiC ratio) of beef cattle farm business analysis, showed that ratio as 1.70 value. It means that the beef cattle farm business were profitable with earning equal to Rp. 2,286,006,94. Base on data feseability study analyzed showed beef cattle development in Surade Sub-District were feseable.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
