Judul: Pattern of Development Area of Beef Cattle at Aceh Besar District in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province
Abstrak: Aceh Besar district have not been able to provide a source of livestock breeds and going to meet the needs of beef cattle fattening business people, so that the dependence of the provision of livestock breeds and going from outside the area is very high. One of the potential of livestock sub-sector, especially beef cattle farms suitable for development in Aceh Besar district is breeding beef cattle. This study aims to identify the potential and pattern of development of the area of beef cattle in the district of Aceh Besar Aceh. The research was carried out on beef cattle breeding areas in Aceh Besar district, which was held in May to July 2011 through the collection data by the survey method of 280 Bali cattle and 72 farmers. The data in the form of farmer characteristics, technical and management areas of livestock farming systems were analyzed descriptively. Participation, knowledge and motivation of farmers using the Mann-Whitney test. Bali cattle body weight was measured through estimation by the method of regression analysis. The pattern of development area of beef cattle in the Aceh Besar district formulated using SWOT analysis. Based on the analysis of increasing population could reach 285.9, 225.3, 54.3, and 2 Animal Unit (AU) for each village at Saree Aceh, Sukamulia, Data Gaseu, and Bareuh. The interviews show that in general maintenance of the system using semi-intensive systems and the need for livestock feed entirely dependent on the forage consumed by livestock itself. Data characteristics of farmers on the location of the study showed that most (> 85% of respondents) breeder age ranged from 15-55 years, while over 55 years less than 15%. Farmer education levels varied, with dominated by primary (57-76%). Principal jobs as farmers and ranchers are the cultivation of cattle as a sideline business. Experience the majority of farmers still less than 5 years. Score value of knowledge, motivation and participation of cattle ranchers in Aceh Besar district showed that the breeder has a score value which is still low (<25.0) on the program area of beef cattle for breeding. The increase in population is still minus the percentage of births is still quite low and the percentage of mortality is still high enough. Bali cattle body weight for nearly every age category and gender is still low, mainly due to the management of livestock farming so productivity Bali cattle is not optimal. Development programe of the area of beef cattle in the future need to consider the quality of human resources and socio-economic conditions of farmers in developing goals. Development of the area of beef cattle in Aceh Besar district for planning and program implementation can be done by UPTD Ruminant Livestock Husbandry Department of the Aceh Besar district includes the active role of livestock farmers in a participatory manner with the priority scale.

Abstrak: The objective of the research were 1) to know characteristic of beef cattle farmer in related to management of beef cattle farming, 2) to analyzed technical potency of beef cattle farm in Agrabinta Sub-District, 3) to analyzed farmer earning in beef cattle farm business , 4) to formulate the strategy of beef cattle development in Agrabinta Sub-District. Primary data obtained by direct interview with the beef cattle farmer, used questionnaire as the tool. Secondary data obtained from relevant institutions sources that related with the topic of the research, data analyzed descriptive corelation method. Base on data analyzed showed that technical management of beef cattle farm by farmer characterize still in the traditional system. The return cost ratio (R/C ratio) of beef cattle farm business analysis, showed that ratio as 1.51 value. It means that the beef cattle farm business were profitable. Beef cattle farm income contributed 11.11 persen to total family income or Rp. 1,054,020.26. The results from Added Capacity of Ruminant Population (ACRP) analyzed at Sinarlaut village, Bojongkaso village, Tanjungsari village, Wanasari village, Mekarsari village, Sukamanah village respectively were -903.58 Animal Unit (AU); 242.44 AU; -340.40 AU; 5096 AU; -337.90 AU, the positive value explain that in these villages can accept more beef cattle number, such Bojongkaso village and Wanasari village. The strategy of beef cattle farming development in Agrabinta Sub-District were showed at Growth Oriented Strategy, it can be implemented by making Demonstration Plot of beef cattle farm intensification, recruit more animal health officer to optimalisation of services and cooperation with other relevant institutions.

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.
