Judul: Faktor-Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Kebiasaan Masyarakat Makan Oyek (Manihot utilissima) Sebagai Bahan Campuran Nasi (Kasus di Kecamatan Sruweng Kabupaten Kebumen Jawa Tengah)
Abstrak: Salah satu alternatif untuk meningkatkan kecukupan pangan bagi masyarakat, adalah dengan program ketahanan pangan. Program ketahanan pangan diarahkan pada pengembangan pangan alternatif agar masyarakat tidak tergantung pada beras, tetapi dapat mengembangkan pangan alternatif yang sudah banyak ditinggalkan oleh masyarakat. Pengembangan sumber pangan alternatif dimaksudkan untuk mengubah pola komsumsi masyarakat yang sampai saat ini masih memiliki ketergantungan pada komoditi beras. Salah satu usaha yang dapat dilakukan adalah diversifikasi makanan pokok. Upaya diversifikasi pangan diarahkan pada peningkatan status gizi dan kesehatan masyarakat dan dimaksudkan untuk menjamin ketersediaan sumber pangan non beras pada masyarakat. Sumber pangan non beras dengan harga yang lebih murah disbanding beras dan terjangkau oleh daya beli masyarakat Indonesia merupakan strategi untuk mewujudkan ketahanan pangan masyarakat. Diversifikasi pangan diperlukan agar masyarakat memiliki sumber pangan alternatif pengganti beras sehingga ketahanan pangan masyarakat dapat terjaga.

Abstrak: Indonesia has a high proportion of household, which have deficit food energy in every provinces, that is why diversification is needed, even become one of the main pillars in achieving the food security. However, in fact, Indonesian people are still depended on the rice paddy. Changing people's behavior in consuming the rice paddy is not easy, it is needed to learn first about how people's attitudes towards staple’s food of the rice paddy and the non rice paddy. That is because the attitudes can influence behavior. This study investigated the attitude and consumption behavior of Cireundeu Village community between the rice paddy and rice cassava. Some people of Cireundeu village have been consumed rice cassava as their staple food. Based on those case, people’s attitudes and consumption behavior can be interesting to be used as the implementation learning of food security or food diversification in other areas. The method used in this study are quantitative and supported by qualitative data. Quantitative data collected by interviewing peoples with questionnaires. The results of this study indicated that the group of respondents that consume rice paddy tended to have a positive attitude towards the rice paddy and a neutral attitude towards rice cassava.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
