Judul: Pemberdayaan masyarakat sebagai pendekatan introduksi silase beraditif untuk keberlangsungan penyediaan hijauan berkualitas di KPSBU Lembang
Abstrak: An attempt to use community empowerment approach in introduction silage technology as alternative to sustainable forage availability in KPSBU Lembang have been done through serial of training activities. The trainings were aimed to improve farmer knowledge and skill on type of forage and their quality, forage cultivation, forage preservation and silage quality evaluation. The farmers were also involved in empowerment evaluation to describe the impact of empowerment process. Empowerment program were based on Bartle (2009) principal, while effectivity of empowerment worker were evaluated through development of logical framework system based on National Management Consultant (2009) criteria on empowerment process. The program was also accompanied by field worker and formation of farmer group. The results showed that there were an improvement in farmer confidential which were shown by their ability to express themselves and improve their knowledge through group discussion. Although the program were designed and done based on community empowerment approach, however, the independency of the farmer were not fully achieved. There were an significant improvement of several empowerment components such as participation, service provided by empowerment worker, formation of farmer group, availability of silage information, however, several others components were still need to be improved. There were still some problem in empowering the farmer to adopt silage total mixed ration (TMR) technology such as the dominant position of leader in making a decission. There is a need to intensify the empowerment vertically and horizontally so that farmer could adopt the technology sustainably. Providing of silo at the early stage of adoption are also necessary.

Judul: Tingkat Partisipasi dan Kemandirian Petani Alumni Sekolah Lapangan Pengelolaan Tanaman Terpadu (Kasus Desa Kebon Pedes, Kecamatan Kebon Pedes, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Agriculture development approach carried out centrally and top down. Failure in reaching development agriculture efforts, made the expert at that time said it was very important to change paradigm of agriculture development to sustainable bottom up approach. Field School (SL-PTT) is as a part of agriculture extension activities, is pointed to empower the farmers, it is one of the way to reach development agriculture point, so it has been more interesting to learn as far. The aim of the present research was to analyse correlation farmer empowerment model of SL-PTT with level of participation and autonomy. This research used quantitative method and was supported with qualitative data. The quantitative data were collected by using survey method on 42 farmers participant of SL-PTT. The respondents were selected by applying a stratified random sampling method. In other hand, the qualitative data were collected with in-dept interview. The results show that activity of SL-PTT had a significant correlation with level participation and autonomy farmers. Most farmers were in middle participation level and autonomy.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
