Judul: The Entrepreneur Characteristics, Entrepreneurial Competencies and Business Performance of The Dairy Farm in Kania Dairy Farmer Group Bogor
Abstrak: The entrepreneurship has a very strong positive relationship with economic growth in which an increasing number of entrepreneurs led to an increase in economic growth of a country. In its role in the economic growth, the entrepreneurship activities absorb local resources and create jobs. The livestock sub-sector is one part of the agricultural sector has developed various types of business and labor-intensive, one of which is dairy farm business. The dairy farm business has a good chance to develop because of the market demand for milk is still large and about 74 percent of the milk demand in Indonesia supplied by imported milk. The West Java Province is a province that has the third largest population of dairy cows in Indonesia that increased from 2008 through 2012. The Bogor Regency is one of the areas in the West Java Province that has a lot of dairy cow population. Dairy cow is also designated as one of 17 leading commodities by the Government of Bogor Regency. The dairy farms in Tajurhalang Village, Cijeruk District is one of areas of dairy farm which is located in Bogor Regency. The dairy farmers in Tajurhalang Village incorporated in Kania Dairy Farmer Group. The dairy farmers in Kania Dairy Farmer Group have skills in cultivating the dairy cow and processing the dairy products, but these skills have not been optimally utilized to develop the potential opportunities that exist. If it is utilized properly, it can improve the business performance of dairy farmers. The performance appraisal is one way to measure the success of a business. The performance related to skills, abilities and individual traits. Therefore, the research on the entrepreneur characteristics, entrepreneurial competencies and business performance needs to be conducted. This study aims to (1) analyze the entrepreneur characteristics, entrepreneurial competencies and business performance of the dairy farmers, (2) analyze the relationship of entrepreneur characteristics and entrepreneurial competencies with business performance of the dairy farmers, (3) analyze the relationship between the entrepreneur characteristics and entrepreneurial competencies together with business performance of the dairy farmers. The research objectives used descriptive qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis with correlation Kendall Tau (τ) test and Kendall W test. The respondents were 39 dairy farmers, determined using the census method, which the respondents are all active members of Kania Dairy Farmer Group who produce milk. The quantitative data in this study were processed using SPSS ( Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In this study, the measured variable is divided into three sections, i.e the entrepreneur characteristics variable with 18 indicators, the entrepreneurial competencies variable with 18 indicators and the business performance variable with three indicators . The results showed that (1) the level of entrepreneur characteristics, entrepreneurial competencies and business performance of the dairy farmers are at a low level, (2) the entrepreneur characteristic has an adequate real positive significant relationship with entrepreneurial competencies of the dairy farmers.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Cu2ZnSnS4 sebagai Lapisan Penyerap Cahaya pada Sel Surya Menggunakan Metode Elektrodeposisi
Abstrak: Thin film of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an alternative semiconductor used as light absorber layer on solar cell. CZTS can replace silicon that commonly used as commercial semiconductor. The advantage of using CZTS as absorber layer is due to the abundance of its chemical composer on earth, and its high value of absorption coefficient. The absorber layer was made by using electrodeposition method on ITO glass substrates. The films were deposited at room temperature using potentiostatic mode with a potential of –1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. After that, the films were annealed at two different temperatures, 180 ºC and 500 °C, for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the polycrystalline thin film obtained fall into kesterite crystal phase. This type of crystal was obtained when the CZTS was annealed at 500 °C in H2S/N2 atmosphere. The value of optical band gap energy for the CZTS thin film was 2.2 eV with the film thickness about 1.228–6.366 μm. The sample of CZTS with electrodeposition time of 45 minutes and annealing temperature of 500 °C showed the best result and in conformity with absorber layers criteria for solar cells.
