Judul: Preferensi risiko petani pada usahatani padi organic di Kabupaten Sragen
Abstrak: Organic paddy farming has more production risk than non organic paddy farming. Greater production risk is shown in productivity variance in organic farming than non organic farming. The purposes of this study are : (1) to determine inputs effect on risk production, (2) determine farmer risk preference and analyze relationship between socio economic factors and farmer risk preference, and (3) analyze effect of risk preference on farmer decision in organic paddy farming implementation. In this study we use Just-Pope production function model. Just Pope model construct the production function as the sum of two components, that are mean production function and variance function (as a risk function). Probit model is used to analyze the relation between socio-economic factors and probability farmer implement organic paddy farming, and Arrow-Pratt absolute risk averson (AR) is used to estimate farmer risk preference. The result shows that most farmers are risk averse. Organic paddy farmer tend to risk taker than non organic paddy farmer. Pesticides and labor are inputs that have a risk reducing effect in organic paddy farming. Seeds and manure inputs have a risk increasing effect. Farmer’s off-farm income and land owner status are have significant effect to farmer’s risk preference. Probability of farmer to adopt organic paddy farming have a positive relations with off-farm income, land owner status, experiences in paddy farming and have negative relation with age, and risk preference. Organic paddy farming have more production risk than non organic farming.

Judul: Income Analysis and Factors Affecting Willingnes to Adopt for SRI Organic Method in Rice Farming (Case Study: Bumi Harapan Village, Wita Ponda Subdistrict, Morowali District, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah)
Abstrak: Analisis Pendapatan dan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Willingnes to Adopt Metode SRI Organik Pada Usahatani Padi (Studi Kasus : Desa Bumi Harapan, Kecamatan Wita Ponda, Kabupaten Morowali, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah). Dibimbing oleh HASTUTI dan DEA AMANDA. Indonesia mencapai swasembada beras nasional tahun 1984 dengan sistem pertanian konvensional, prestasi tersebut tidak berkelanjutan karena dihadapkan berbagai masalah. Menyikapi permasalahan tersebut, inovasi pertanian padi organik dapat diterapkan. Pertanian Organik berbasis kearifan lokal diperkenalkan untuk pengembangan pertanian organik adalah System of Rice Intensification (SRI) Organik. Tujuan penelitian (1) menganalisis persepsi petani terhadap penggunaan metode SRI Organik, (2) menganalisis perbandingan pendapatan padi Organik dan padi konvensional, (3) menganalisis faktor yang memengaruhi kesediaan adopsi metode SRI Organik. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis skala Likert untuk mengetahui persepsi petani, analisis pendapatan untuk mengetahui perbandingan pendapatan, dan analisis regresi logistik untuk mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi kesediaan adopsi. Hasil persepsi penggunaan metode SRI Organik pada petani yang mengadopsi metode SRI Organik yang tertinggi yaitu produksi padi SRI Organik yang lebih tinggi dan sehat, persepsi terendah teknis budidaya SRI organik yang rumit. Persepsi terhadap penggunaan metode SRI Organik pada petani yang belum mengadopsi metode SRI Organik tertinggi yaitu SRI Organik menggunakan pupuk dan pestisida ramah lingkungan, persepsi terendah yaitu ketersediaan tenaga kerja pertanian produktif dan terampil terbatas. Analisis pendapatan menunjukan R/C ratio lebih dari satu artinya usahatani menguntungkan. Faktor yang signifikan memengaruhi petani mengadopsi padi metode SRI Organik yaitu pengalaman, pernah mendapat pelatihan dan status kepemilikan lahan. Kata kunci: pertanian konvensional, regresi logistik, skala likert, usahatani padi, Income Analysis and Factors Affecting Willingnes to Adopt for SRI Organic Method in Rice Farming. (Case Study: Bumi Harapan Village, Wita Ponda Subdistrict, Morowali District, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah). Supervized by HASTUTI and DEA AMANDA. Indonesia achieving national rice self-sufficiency in 1984 with a conventional farming system, this achievement is not sustainable because it is faced with various problems. In response to these problems, organic rice farming innovations can be applied. Organic agriculture based on local wisdom introduced for the development of organic agriculture is the Organic System of Rice Intensification (SRI). The objectives of the study (1) were to analyze farmers' perceptions of the use of the Organic SRI method, (2) to analyze the income comparison between Organic and conventional rice, (3) to analyze the factors that influenced the willingness to adopt the Organic SRI method. This study uses a Likert scale analysis to determine farmer perceptions, income analysis to determine income comparisons, and logistic regression analysis to determine factors that influence adoption willingness. The results of the perception of the use of the Organic SRI method on farmers who adopt the Organic SRI method are the highest, namely the production of organic SRI rice which is higher and healthier, the lowest perception of complicated organic SRI cultivation techniques. The highest perception of the use of the Organic SRI method in farmers who have not adopted the Organic SRI method is Organic SRI using environmentally friendly fertilizers and pesticides, the lowest perception is that the availability of productive and skilled agricultural labor is limited. Income analysis shows that the R/C ratio is more than one, meaning that

Judul: Desain Sistem Transfer Energi Nirkabel Berbasiskan Tesla Coil
Abstrak: Tesla coil merupakan alat yang ditemukan oleh Nikola Tesla yang dapat mentransmisikan daya tanpa kabel dengan memanfaatkan prinsip induksi elektromagnetik. Pada penelitian ini dibuat sebuah prototype Tesla Coil dengan menggunakan transistor C1970 dan receiver menggunakan rangkaian LC. Identifikasi alat meliputi pengaruh daya input transmitter terhadap receiver, bentuk signal yang dipancarkan transmitter, pengaruh jarak transmitter dan receiver, nilai efisiensi serta efek alat terhadap perangkat lain. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar daya input maka semakin besar daya yang dipancarkan oleh transmitter. Bentuk sinyal yang dipancarkan oleh transmitter berupa gelombang listrik AC sinusoidal dengan frekuensi ~2.9 MHz. Semakin jauh jarak receiver terhadap transmitter maka semakin kecil amplitudo gelombang AC yang diterima oleh receiver, menyebabkan semakin kecil daya yang diterima oleh receiver. Adapun nilai efisiensi terbesar penangkapan daya oleh receiver yaitu sebesar 0.00516 % serta terdapat gangguan pada alat-alat tertentu seperti monitor komputer dan radio.
