Judul: Jejaring Sosial Dan Konflik Masyarakat Pedesaan (Kasus Di Pulau Saparua Propinsi Maluku)
Abstrak: Konflik Maluku adalah konflik yang diawali oleh pertikaian antara dua individu berbeda etnis di Kota Ambon. Pertikaian tersebut kemudian melebar menjadi konflik antar pendatang dan penduduk asli. Akhirnya konflik bergeser menjadi konflik bernuansa agama, yaitu antara mereka yang beragama Islam (Salam) dengan Protestan dan Katolik (Sarani). Konflik yang terjadi menyebar sampai ke wilayah lain di luar Pulau Ambon meliputi Pulau-pulau Seram, Buru, Saparua, Haruku bahkan kemudian sampai ke seluruh wilayah Maluku termasuk Maluku Utara. Kejadian konflik berfluktuatif selama hampir enam tahun, sejak tahun 1999 sampai pertengahan tahun 2004. Hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu menjelaskan penyebab konflik Maluku adalah persaingan penduduk asli dengan pendatang, pertarungan elit lokal Salam dan Sarani dalam memperebutkan posisi di bidang pemerintahan, serta penetrasi Undang-Undang Pemerintahan Desa yang meminggirkan budaya lokal yang hidup dalam masyarakat. Namun hasil-hasil penelitian tersebut, belum menjelaskan penyebab konflik di pedesaan Maluku.

Abstrak: Social networking and conflict understanding in rural community is the important step in finding strategy of conflict resolution. Through qualitative research technique, it is known that there is a relation between the flow of people who were going out-in Saparua Island to fill their needs, change into flow and networking of people who were coming home to rural areas which create conflict. All villages, so called negeri, which are known by Saparua Island community, get the impact of social networking which creates conflict. Social conflict which first based on agrarian problem then developed and added with the impact of religion and politic problem, just like conflict source in Ambon Island. Although, in the next development kinship and adat relation are taking important role in taking care of community rules. The strategy needs to be followed by establishment of natural resources and land property rights existence of society. Without this step, rural community in Saparua Island still has conflict potential. Process of this step needs to be done equal with adat relation development in Latupati Association level. With that step, rural community of this island will have social institution as a forum to have root communication. An institution which can be potency of society prevents sustainable and long reconflict.

Judul: Evaluation of Influenza Antibody Titers in Serum and Egg Yolk of Layers Vaccinated with Influenza Vaccines.
Abstrak: Influenza belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family which causes upper and lower respiratory tract infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate influenza-A specific antibody titers from serum and egg yolk of hens vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza vaccines. Three Hy-line Brown layers were vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza type A and B inactivated vaccines. Vaccination was carried out three times at a dose of 0.25 ml/chicken via the intramuscular route. The first vaccination was carried out at 24 weeks of age, then boosters were performed at 28 and 32 weeks of age. Serum and egg yolk were collected every week for 20 weeks since the first vaccination. Influenza A H3N2 and H1N1 antibody titers were determined using hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test and agar-gel-precipitation (AGP) test. Influenza-A H3N2 and H1N1 specific antibodies were detected in both serum and egg yolk from the first to twenty weeks after the initial vaccination. Highest HI geometric mean titer (GMT) of H1N1 antibody reached 26.67 HIU at nine weeks post first vaccination (p.f.v), while H3N2 antibody reached 26 HIU at six weeks p.f.v. Our result showed that influenza antibodies can be produced in layers using quadrivalent vaccines and layer chickens are able to produce equivalent antibody levels for each influenza subtype.
