Judul: Hubungan Persepsi dengan Sikap Pemuda Pedesaan mengenai Pekerjaan Pertanian Hortikultura.
Abstrak: Pembangunan pertanian saat ini dihadapkan pada rendahnya tenaga kerjapemuda pedesaan yang ingin melanjutkan usaha di sektor pertanian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk: (1) menganalisis bagaimana persepsi dan sikap pemuda mengenai pekerjaan hortikultura, (2) menganalisis bagaimana karakteristik personal dan situasional pemuda berhubungan dengan persepsi mengenai pekerjaan pertanian hortikultura,(3) menganalisis bagaimana persepsi pemuda berhubungan dengan sikap mengenai pekerjaan pertanian dan (4) menganalisis bagaimana sikap pemuda berhubungan dengan perilaku pemuda terhadap pekerjaan pertanian hortikultura. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei di dukung dengan data kualitatif. Responden terdiri dari 45 orang pemuda keturunan petani. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik personal yaitu jenis kelamin laki-laki, pendidikan yang semakin tinggidan akses sumberdaya lahan orang tua pemuda yang tinggi serta karakteristik situasional yaitu sosialisasi orang tua tinggi dan pengaruh temanpemuda yang bekerja di pertanian tinggiberhubungan dengan persepsi positif pemuda terhadap pekerjaan pertanian. Persepsi positif pemuda berhubungan dengan sikap positif berupa ketertarikan pemuda terhadap pekerjaan pertanian hortikultura. Sikap positif pemuda berhubungan dengan perilaku pemuda berupa keterlibatan yang tinggi oleh pemuda pada pertanian hortikultura.

Judul: Hubungan Orang Tua, Media Massa, dan Teman dengan Sikap Pemuda terhadap Pekerjaan di Bidang Pertanian (Kasus Pemuda di Desa Cipendawa dan Desa Sukatani, Kecamatan Pacet, Kabupaten Cianjur)
Abstrak: The study about youth attitude was conducted in order to identify about kinds of behavior that would be performed by the youth towards agricultural livelihood. By identifying their attitude, people could be able to estimate response from youth about agricultural livelihood. The objectives of this study were: 1). To identify youth attitude towards agricultural activities. 2). To identify internal characteristics of youth, socialization from parents, mass media exposure, and interaction with peers. 3). To analyze the correlations between internal factors and youth attitude towards agricultural livelihood. 4). To analyze the correlations between socialization from parents, mass media exposure, and interaction with peers with youth attitude towards agricultural livelihood. 5). To analyze the correlations between perception toward rural condition and youth attitude towards agricultural livelihood. A number of 65 respondents were taken as sample. This study resulted several important outputs namely, 1). Majority of youth supported and agreed to work at agricultural setting 2). Majority of the youth were categorized late adolescence, low level of education, their parents were owner of their own farmland, low level in farmland mastery, low level in cosmopolite, low frequency from parents on telling about agriculture, average level on youth involvement in helping parents in farming activities, low frequency on mass media exposure, less than 20 minutes in every opportunity of watching television and also listening radio, low interaction with peers on agricultural sector, and good perception toward rural condition 3). There were several variables correlated to youth attitude towards agricultural livelihood i.e. age, gender, youth involvement in helping parents in farming activities, intensity on watching television, closeness with peers, and perception towards further condition of agricultural development.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
