Judul: Analisis Keberlanjutan Wilayah Tansmigrasi Pasang Surut (Studi Struktur Nafkah dan Carrying Capacity di Dua Desa di kabupaten Banyuasin Sumatera Selatan)
Abstrak: Since 1970 the transmigration area in the District of Banyuasin opened, the population increased and as a result of that activities of the local community certainly provided a change to the area sustainability condition. This study aims to analyze the sustainability of the tidal area transmigration by analyzing the economic security conditions (structure of household income and welfare status), assessing the tidal land carrying capacity, and identifying the eco-social conditions existed. This study is expected to provide knowledge to the public, academics and researchers and policy makers is a transmigration area can be developed or not. The method used is the calculation of household income in the form of On Farm, OF Farm and Non Farm income, calculation of tidal land carrying capacity, calculations of agrarian density and the ability to support the life and descriptive identification of eco-social conditions. Result from the both studied villages (Mekar Sari and Telang Rejo) showed that a shift in household livelihoods from the main activities of the agricultural food (On Farm) to other activities (Non Farm), the contribution of income from additional livelihood activities of non-Farm were 57.98% and 63.04% in the villages Mekar Sari and Telang Rejo respectively, this indicates a possible further decline in the focus of the main livelihood On Farm, which is certainly threaten the sustainability of this area as a buffer food. Results of land Carrying Capacity Assessment in the district Banyuasin and sub-district Muara Telang were deficit (CCR <1), where the CCR estimated for district by 0.4 and for sub-district by 0.6, in other words this means it is no longer possible to construct expansive and exploratory land construction, while Mekar Sari (1.018) and Telang Rejo (0.021) villages on alert status, which means there is a balance between the land carrying capacity and the population existence. Results of ecological conditions identification, showed a reduce in forest cover due to land clearing for agriculture and settlements and infrastructure development, thus the conservation and reforestation efforts are in need. Results of the social conditions identification was indicated this area is quite conducive, institutional village were developed, but not yet have a marketing corporation of their agricultural products at the village level. Reflection results of the conceptual theory from Christaller and Von Thunen suggests that the two villages were not able to be a new development center and give spread effect at economic activity for the surrounding hinterland. Policy implications that recommended from of this study results is this area prospected to developed as a buffer food if the Non Farm activities redirected to agriculture-based-food industry, as well as the need for ground transportation access and agricultural marketing agencies.

Judul: Dinamika Penguasaan Lahan Dan Strategi Hidup Rumah Tangga Di Desa Transmigrasi
Abstrak: Pembagian lahan dalam program transmigrasi pada hakekatnya bertujuan meningkatkan taraf hidup rumah tangga transmigran yang dihimpit masalah kelangkaan tahan dan tekanan ekonomi di daerah asal. Namun setelah masa berlalu, disebagian besar desa transmigrasi di Kawasan Barat Indonesia (KBI) menunjukkan "kembali" masalah ketimpangan penguasaan lahan, seperti halnya di daerah asal transmigran. Ketimpangan penguasaan lahan dapat menimbulkan kesenjangan pendapatan, dimana pola nafkah ganda sebagai suatu strategi hidup, makin penting artinya bagi tiap lapisan rumah tangga. Di daerah Kawasan Timur Indonesia (KTI), khususnya Maluku, penelitian tentang dinamika penguasaan lahan dan strategi hidup rumah tangga transmigran masih terbatas. Maka masalah penguasaan lahan dan strategi hidup rumah tangga di desa transmigrasi Waihatu, Seram Barat, Maluku, dijadikan pokok kajian. Desa transmigrasi Waihatu bertetangga dengan desa penduduk asli yang mempunyai pola usahatani berbeda, berlokasi dekat pabrik kayu lapis dan terbuka terhadap ekonomi pasar. Disamping itu, bertambahnya rumah tangga baru, dapat menimbulkan masalah penguasaan lahan dan kemiskinan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui: (1) proses perubahan luas penguasaan lahan; (2) faktor-faktor penentu terjadinya perubahan distribusi penguasaan lahan di desa transmigrasi Waihatu; (2) strategi hidup rumah tangga transmigran dalam kegiatan ekonominya; dan (3) membanding "gaya hidup" antara transmigran dan bukan transmigran. Jika penguasaan lahan dan pendapatan ternyata senjang, kemungkinan akan ditemukan sejumlah rumah tangga miskin. Pengetahuan tentang faktor penentu masalah ketimpangan penguasaan lahan dan strategi hidup, berguna untuk penanggulangan masalah ketimpangan penguasaan lahan dan kemiskinan di desa transmigrasi. Berdasarkan tujuan tersebut, hipotesis penelitian disusun sebagai berikut: (1) ada hubungan antara respon transmigran terhadap masalah pembagian kapling lahan, dengan jenis ketrampilan, motivasi bertransmigrasi dan pola kultur transmigran; (2) distribusi luas penguasaan lahan berhubungan dengan penggunaan teknologi usahatani, jumlah tanggungan keluarga, pola pewarisan lahan dan frekwensi jual beli lahan; (3) strategi hidup rumah tangga seperti terdapat di pedesaan Jawa akan ditemukan di desa transmigrasi Waihatu dengan variasi tertentu; (4) perbedaan pendapatan akan menentukan perbedaan "gaya hidup" antara transmigran dan penduduk asli Lohiatala, desa tetangga....dst

Judul: Electrophoretic Coating of Apatite Compouds on Stainless Steel 316L.
Abstrak: Stainless steel (SS) 316L is a metal which is used to bone plate. However, this metal still has low biocompatibility in a human body. The metal is coated by HAp in order to increase its biocompatibility. HAp on SS 316L is coated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. We used two variables in EPD process, such as voltage and coating time to obtain the best coating. The XRD difractogram showed that SS 316L has been coated by HAp. Physical observation used by microscope optics showed that the best coating is achieved on 120V during 2 minutes.
