Judul: Pola Kemitraan dalam Pembangunan Hutan Rakyat Oleh PT Insan Prima Berdikari di Kabupaten Pandeglang Banten
Abstrak: Pengelolaan hutan rakyat yang terjadi sampai saat ini sebagian besar masih belum dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan petani. Hadirnya kemitraan dalam pengelolaan hutan rakyat dapat mendorong petani berperan lebih aktif dan mengubah pengelolaan hutan rakyat yang dulunya masih tradisional menjadi ke arah komersial. Tujuan pada penelitian ini untuk mengetahui sistem pengelolaan dan menganalisis pola hubungan kemitraan yang diselenggarakan oleh PT Insan Prima Berdikari (PT IPB) dengan para mitranya. Pengambilan data menggunakan metode survey dengan pemilihan responden secara purposive sebanyak 32 orang terdiri dari penggarap lahan, pemilik lahan, dan PT. IPB. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa hutan rakyat dikembangkan dengan pola tanam agroforestri antara pohon sengon dengan tanaman pisang dan talas. Pola hubungan kemitraan antara PT IPB dengan para mitranya merupakan Kerjasama Operasional Agribisnis (KOA) dengan sistem bagi hasil penjualan sengon sebagai berikut: PT IPB mendapat 25%, penggarap lahan 10%, penyedia dana 35%, lembaga desa, dan pendamping desa yang masing-masing pihak tersebut 2,5%., Most of the community forest management that has occurred so far has not been able to improve the welfare of the community and farmers. The presence of partnerships in community forest management can encourage farmers to play a more active role and change community forest management from traditional to commercial ones. The purpose of this study is to determine the management system and analyze the pattern of partnership relationships held by PT Insan Prima Berdikari (PT IPB) with its partners. Data were collected using a survey method with a purposive selection of 32 respondents consisting of land cultivators, land owners, and PT. IPB. The results showed that community forests were developed with an agroforestry cropping pattern between sengon trees and banana and taro plants. The pattern of the partnership relationship between PT IPB and its partners is the Agribusiness Operational Cooperation (KOA) with a profit-sharing system from the sale of sengon as follows: PT IPB gets 25%, land cultivators 10%, fund providers 35%, village institutions, and village assistants each each party is 2.5%.

Judul: Analisis Kemitraan Agroforestri antara Kelompok Tani dengan PT BUMN Hijau Lestari I di Kabupaten Bandung Jawa Barat
Abstrak: PT BUMN Hijau Lestari I (PT BHL) is applying the concept of agroforestry partnership with the community to implement the mandate reforestation in watersheds. Partnership in Bandung regency has built over three years. This research aims to identify pattern of agroforestry partnership between KMK and PT BHL, analyze the performances of plants cooperation based aspect of percent growing plants and crops coffee and analyze the level of partnership. This research was done to 20 of 59 KMK who have been partnered since 2010. The result showed that, partnership built is cooperation patterns operational agribusiness (COA) that is both long term. Performance plant cooperation only reached 79% (woody plant), 37% (fruit trees) and 77% (coffee plant). The level of partnership scored 659.3 (Prima Intermediate Partnership) which means this partnership still needs to increase cooperation especially optimization aspect benefits.

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.
