Judul: The Effectiveness of the Empowerment Program and Relationship with the Household Empowerment of Farmer Group Members during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstrak: Pandemi COVID-19 turut berdampak terhadap pelambatan distribusi hasil pertanian termasuk kopi dan pecapaian tujuan program pemberdayaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas program pemberdayaan dan hubungannya dengan keberdayaan rumah tangga anggota kelompok tani pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Data primer diperoleh melalui wawancara terstruktur menggunakan kuesioner terhadap 30 petani. Data sekunder diperoleh dari BPS dan lembaga terkait. Data kualitatif dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan informan dan observasi lapang. Uji korelasi rank spearman digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan antar variabel penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi penurunan pada aktivitas program pemberdayaan pada masa pandemi dan keberdayaan anggota kelompok tani di Kelompok Tani Mekar Wangi Jaya juga semakin berdaya. Semakin efektif program pemberdayaan, maka rumah tangga anggota kelompok tani pada masa pandemi COVID-19 semakin berdaya., The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the distribution of agricultural products, including coffee beans and influenced the achievement of empowerment program. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the empowerment program and its relationship with household empowerment of farmer group members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary data were obtained through structured interviews using questionnaires to 30 farmers. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants and field observations. Rank spearman correlation test was used to analyaze correlations between the research variables. The results showed that there was a decline in empowerment program activities during the pandemic and the power of farmer group members at the Mekar Wangi Jaya Farmers Group also decreased. Farmer group empowerment program has positive correlation with power and welfare of the farmer group member.

Judul: Participation and Empowerment of Participants in the Pangan  Lestari Program during Pandemic Era
Abstrak: Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar berdampak pada penurunan partisipasi dalam pemberdayaan. Perilaku kepemimpinan dan efektivitas komunikasi antar pribadi merupakan faktor penting untuk meningkatkan partisipasi yang kemudian mendorong terwujudnya keberdayaan. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh karakteristik peserta, perilaku kepemimpinan, dan efektivitas komunikasi antar pribadi terhadap partisipasi program dan menganalisis pengaruh partisipasi program terhadap keberdayaan. Penelitian menggunakan metode sensus pada 35 responden dan didukung dengan data kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, karakteristik peserta lama bergabung berpengaruh nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang pertanian; perilaku kepemimpinan mencontohkan cara dan membuka kesempatan berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang pertanian, perilaku kepemimpinan menantang proses berpengaruh nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang pertanian, dan perilaku kepemimpinan membuka kesempatan berpengaruh nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang peternakan; efektivitas komunikasi antar pribadi sikap mendukung berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang pertanian, efektivitas komunikasi antar pribadi sikap positif dan kesetaraan berpengaruh nyata terhadap partisipasi bidang pertanian; partisipasi program umumnya berpengaruh terhadap keberdayaan., The imposition of large-scale social restrictions had an impact on decreasing participation in empowerment. Leadership behavior and the effectiveness of interpersonal communication are important factors to increase participation which then encourages the realization of empowerment. This study aims to analyze the impact of participant characteristics, leadership behavior, and the effectiveness of interpersonal communication on program participation and to analyze the impact of program participation on empowerment. The study used the census method on 35 respondents and was supported by qualitative data. Based on the results of the study, the characteristics of long-joined participants had a significant impact on participation in the agricultural sector; leadership behavior modelling the way and enabling others to act had a very real impact on participation in the agricultural sector, leadership behavior to challenge the process had a significant impact on participation in agriculture, and leadership behavior enabling others to act had a real impact on participation in the livestock sector; the effectiveness of interpersonal communication, supportive attitude, had a very significant impact on participation in the agricultural sector, the effectiveness of interpersonal communication, positive attitude and equality, had a significant impact on participation in the agricultural sector; Program participation generally affects empowerment.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
