Judul: Thenu. development model of corn agribusiness for supporting food security basic on Islands Group in Southwest Maluku District (MBD) Maluku Province
Abstrak: Food in the islands group (GP) has a central role, especially in small islands growing niche to be geographically isolated. Any problems associated with the low accessibility, subsistence, dependence and vulnerability of small islands to the changing seasons can cause serious problems for food security. Therefore, to ensure food security of the community, the farming of corn should be developed simultaneously throughouth all subsystems. This study aims to identify potential and constraints of corn agribusiness farm and analyze the feasibility of designing a model of cluster-based agribusiness of corn island.. The research was carried out in GP Babar and GP Terselatan MBD district. Data sources include primary and secondary data. Survey methods were conducted to collect primary data with stages starting from the selection of island groups, sub-district and village by purposive sampling. The selection of farmers was done using the stratified random sampling. Research results show that there are a number of potential and constraints. Among others potentials include: (1) Corn is a strategic comodoties, (2) total area and production can be increased, (3) Maize is a staple food, (4) Farmers are consistent in producing maize, (5) Institutions are strong farming. Constraints include: (1) Low maize production, (2) Low motivation of farmers, (3) Corn farming is subsistence, (4) Minimally of infrastucture (5) Drought and soil acidity. Results of farm analysis of farming in GP Babar showed that 81 farmers (68%) had a BCR> 1; 23 farmers (19%) with BCR <1 and 16 farmers (13%) BCR = 1. Whereas in the GP Terselatan 97 farmers (81%) had a BCR> 1; 20 farmers (17%) with BCR <1 and 3 farmers (2.5%) with BCR = 1. It shows that 68% - 81% of corn farmings in both GPs are profitable and feasible. The Biplot analysis results showed that farmers in GP Terselatan had more than enough food than Babar GP had. Babar GP had 27% of farmers with enough food and 73% of farmers lack of sufficient food. 65% of farmers in Terselatan GP had enough food and 35% lack enough food. The Generalized Linear Models analysis showed that the variables that affect food security significantly in GP Babar are: Production, Consumption, Family Member, interaction Production and Procesed Products, interaction Production and Consumption, interaction Consumption and Family Members interaction Production and Family Members; whereas in the GP Terselatan are: interaction Production and Dkisar, interaction Consumption and Dkisar, interaction Production dan Processed Products, interaction Production and Consumption, interaction Consumption and Family Member, interaction Family Members and Production, interaction Corn Price and DKisar, interaction Land and DKisar, Family Members. Traditional institutions such as: Sasi, Masohi, Lutur and food burn is local wisdom that is integrated with the Food Strategy through a combination of food sources varied and multi-cropping (polyculture).

Judul: Development of Rice-food Security . Management Support System in District Level
Abstrak: Meningkatnya pembangunan ekonomi di sektor industri, sentra bisnis dan perumahan telah mengkibatkan tingkat penyusutan lahan pertanian sernakin besar. Hal ini terjadi terutarna di wilayah kabupaten-kabupaten di Pulau Jawa yang merupakan pemasok utama kebutuhan beras nasional. Jika hat ini tidak dikendalikan, selain akan rnengancam upaya swasembada beras juga akan mengakibatkan ketahanan pangan secara nasional akan menurun, dan dikhawatirkan akan menurunkan kualitas sumber daya manusia Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan Sistem Pendukung Manajemen Ketahanan Pangan Beras untuk membantu Pemerintah Kabupaten menjaga ketahanan pangan beras pada aspek ketersediaan dan keterjangkauan. Metode pemodelan sistem pendukung manajemen tersebut dilakukan dengan pendekatan sistem rnelalui analisis kebutuhan dan identifikasi sistem input-output yang menghasilkan referensi sejumlah model yang relevan dengan problem entity aspek ketersediaan dan keterjangkuan beras. Model tersebut adalah Model Kecukupan Beras (Mokuber), Model Harga beras (Mohaber)~ Model Kinerja Ketahanan Pangan Beras (Mokiber), Model Persediaan Beras (Modiaber) dan Model Simulasi Logistik Beras (Mosilober). Mokuber ditujukan untuk memberikan inforrnasi tentang kecukupan beras pada setiap kecamatan. Mohaber ditujukan untuk mengendalikan harga beras pada setiap kecamatan. Mokiber ditujukan untuk mengetahui kinerja ketahanan pangan beras dan faktor-faktor · penyebabnya. Modiaber ditujukan untuk menginformasikan tingkat persediaan beras pada gudang kecamatan, rayon dan pusat serta kinerja pelayanan pada gudang pusat. Mosilober ditujukan untuk menginforrnasikan prediksi produksi, konsumsi, harga beras, jumlah cadangan beras, kebutuhan anggaran operasional dan subsidi raskin serta kondisi pengendalian harga beras., Rice has become the staple food for the maJonty of Indonesian people. Therefore, The goverment of Indonesia put strong effort to provide rice continously. However, The availability, sustainability and security of the staple food are still a big issue in Indonesia. particularly rice-producing districts are switching functions of agricultural land into industrial, residential and business zones. The aim of this research is to design the model of rice food security system. The function of the model is to monitor and control the rice food security in availability and accessibility aspects in the regency level. This model was designed to fulfill the needs of the goverment in national and local (district), communities, farmers, collectors, dealers, traders and · non-governmental organizations. Structure of the model developed is a Decision. Support System (DSS) is equipped with model rule base and executive information. The DSS comprises the following models : (1) the rice sufficiency, (2) the rice price, (3) the rice inventory, (4) food security performance, and (5) the rice food security simulation by Monte· Carlo methods. Based on the data obtained in Mei 2010 from 23 districts in the Bekasi Regency, we found that 5 districts had critical rice insufficiency. 6 district had performance status at level below acceptable standard. The rice price was still in the limited control status but it was trend to achieve high level limit, and had to take price stabilitation action by market operation. The results of model simulation verification based on data in 2010 showed that the condition of sufficiency of rice in the district of Bekasi in a state of surplus, the amount of raskin operating budget of Rp. 652 million issued by Bekasi District Goverment and rice subsidy budget of Rp. 14.78 billion issued by the Central

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
