Judul: Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Resistensi Pembelian Pangan Organik dan Proses Market Education
Abstrak: Indonesian market share at organic food only 0.5-2 percent from all agricultural products. There are problems in organic food marketing in Indonesia such as consumer confidence and limited information about organics food. This research aimed to analyze correlation of gender, occupation, age and education in intention to purchase organic foods, identify factors influencing purchase resistance of organic foods, and the market education process. This research was carried out at IPB Dramaga and involved 150 respondents. Data was collected using questionnaire survey. The result showed that gender, job, age and education not correlate with purchase intention of organic foods. Result from Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) showed that factors caused purchase resistance was negative attitude toward organic foods, unaffordability of organic foods, and lack of awareness in organic foods but subjective norm don’t have significant correlation with purchase intention. Market education process that can do is educated about health benefits of organic food, organics certification and economics value.

Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis pengaruh kesadaran kesehatan, persepsi nilai dan kepeduliaan keamanan pangan terhadap keinginan membeli pangan organik. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap sivitas IPB strata 1 dan teknik pengambilan contoh dengan Teknik Slovin dan Kuota. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi linear berganda dengan Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS for windows versi 16.0). Hasil penelitian menunjukan secara parsial terdapat pengaruh positif persepsi nilai tentang pangan organik dan kesadaran kesehatan terhadap keinginan membeli produk pangan organik, di samping pengaruh negatif kepedulian keamanan pangan dengan keinginan membeli pangan organik. Secara simultan, terdapat pengaruh positif persepsi nilai tentang pangan organik, kepedulian pada keamanan pangan dan kesadaran kesehatan terhadap keinginan membeli pangan organik.

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.
