Judul: Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Kelompok Belajar Usaha (KBU) di Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat (PKBM) (Studi Kasus di PKBM “Mitra Mandiri” Kelurahan Leuwigajah, Kecamatan Cimahi Selatan, Kota Cimahi)
Abstrak: Poverty is still a primary issue faced by Indonesia, this includes the community in Leuwigajah, South Cimahi Subdistrict, Cimahi. There are up to 2,240 families who still live in poverty caused by the non-existence or limited possession of land and low educational and skill level. Therefore, they only depend on one source of income. Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Group is a place expected to reinforce people by giving work skill courses as well as entrepreneurship experience. The research of people reinforcement through Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Group is a case study with quality approach whose objective is to discover problems, obstacles, and influential factors to the development of Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Group Community Learning Aktivity Center “Mitra Mandiri” in reinforcing the people. Several problems faced are the relatively low learning motivation of the people in participating, inadequate facilities, and underdeveloped marketing system in the local economy. The factors which are discouraging in the Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Group development are: the non aspirational types of skills, the lacking of cooperation with the local and private organizations, the unprofessionally skilled instructors, and the the limited existence of the people's participation and support. The problem-solving strategies offered in this research include: Education and Training Program in Sewing and Motorcycle Workshop which are the aspirations of the local people, Continuous Business Development of Entrepreneurship Reinforcement Group, the Development of Independent Business and the Program of Improving Information Service and Cooperation with the local organizations.

Judul: EGSnrc Monte Carlo Simulation of the Manchester System for Brachytherapy Using Multiple Radioactive Sources
Abstrak: Perhitungan dosis sistem manchester pada kanker serviks dapat dilakukan menggunakan metode monte carlo. Tujuan penelitian adalah membandingkan dan menganalisis kurva isodosis pada fantom jaringan yang diradiasi menggunakan beberapa jenis sumber radioaktif berbeda dengan sistem manchester melalui simulasi monte carlo. Jenis radioaktif yang biasa digunakan sebagai sumber radioaktif pada brakiterapi diantaranya adalah Cobalt-60, Cesium-137, dan Iridium-192. Penelitian ini menggunakan fantom homogen jaringan berukuran 10 × 10 × 10 cm^3 dan disimulasikan melalui perangkat lunak EGSnrc. Hasil penelitian didapatkkan bahwa distribusi dosis pada setiap jenis radioaktif pada titik acuan memiliki nilai yang berbeda, yaitu Cobalt-60 memiliki distribusi dosis pada titik acuan A sebesar 15,08% dengan distribusi dosis pada titik acuan B sebesar 0%, Cesium-137 adalah sebesar 13,37% dan 0%, Iridium-192 sebesar 13,27% dan 0%. Penggunaan jenis sumber radioaktif dapat disesuaikan dengan titik lokasi dan ukuran sebenarnya kanker serviks., Calculation of the Manchester system dose in cervical cancer can be done using the Monte Carlo method. The purpose of the study was to compare and analyze the isodoses curves on tissue phantoms irradiated using several different types of radioactive sources with the Manchester system through Monte Carlo simulation. The types of radioactivity commonly used as radioactive sources in brachytherapy include Cobalt-60, Cesium-137, and Iridium-192. This study used a homogeneous tissue phantom measuring 10 × 10 × 10 cm^3 and was simulated through EGSnrc software. The results showed that the dose distribution for each type of radioactive source at the reference point had different values, namely Cobalt-60 had a dose distribution at reference point A of 15.08% with a dose distribution at reference point B of 0%, Cesium-137 was 13.37% and 0%, Iridium-192 was 13.27% and 0%. The use of radioactive source types can be adjusted to the location point and actual size of cervical cancer.
