Abstrak: Upstream and downstream institutional partnerships in Cidanau watershed has been built in 2005 using payment for environmental services (PES) approach. Among stakeholders, partners involved in the mechanism are Krakatau Tirta Industri (KTI) Company as a water beneficiary for commercial use and up-stream farmer groups as a service provider, and facilitated by a multi-stakeholder watershed forum namely Forum Komunikasi DAS Cidanau (FKDC). The farmers were paid for their role in conserving land and maintainance of tree stand in accordance with number of trees and contract period which is agreed by both parties. The study aims to formulate partnership institution which is intended by both parties for the sustainability of Cidanau water supply. This is a qualitative research with a case study approach. Data analysis in general was referred to Institutional Analysis Development (IAD) developed by Ostrom (2008). This research applied purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The result of the research shows that majority of land ownership of the involved farmer are private property which is cultivated to meet their daily need. In the first period of contract (2005-2009) there were 4 farmer groups involved but 2 groups cease to be a member of PES, and in the second period (2010-2014) there were PES groups signed the contract including extended groups. Improvement is necessary in order to achieve optimum benefit of Cidanau water supply and involving parties in PES. Apart from the mechanism rule, institutionalization of FKDC needs to be improved and strengthened in manifesting partnership institution of Cidanau water supply. The necessary approach to prevent contract discountinuation in other village as has been experienced in Cibojong and Kadu Agung Village are a) individual approach for heterogenous types of farmer communities, b) establishment of village alternative financial institutions, c) due to thinning on number and certain diameter of trees, d) assessment of the incentive to farmer groups as environmental service providers.

Judul: Peran pembayaran jasa lingkungan (PJL) hutan terhadap sifat hidrologi lahan di DAS Cidanau, Banten
Abstrak: Payment for Environmental Services (PES) in Cidanau watershed is the payment for environmental services of Forest Ecosystem to control the water yield in Cidanau watershed. This PES is driven by issue of water yield decreasing, suggested due to forest encroachment of Rawa Danau. The role of PES for water yield control is approached through its role for the soil hydraulic properties. The research aim to analyze the difference of soil hydraulic properties managed with and without PES incentives. The research includes analysis of land use changes, infiltration rate and soil hydraulic properties of land with and without PES, and simulation of water flow as the response of rainfall. Implementation of PES in Cidanau watershed is able to maintain the good condition of forest. Soil hydraulic properties of land with PES is relatively better. The infiltration rate of land with PES is higher than without PES. Gravitational and available water is higher in land of without PES whereas the soil hydraulic condactivity is higher in land of with PES. Kostiakov and Horton models both are able to predict the rate of infiltration. Kostiakov is better than Horton model relatively. Log Normal Kosugi model was able to predict a soil-water retension curve and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. One dimensional vertical flow simulation shown the higher flow in land with PES than without PES.

Judul: Infeksin virus rota pada anak babi
Abstrak: Virus Rota sudah lama diduga sebagai salah satu penyebab diare pada anak babi yang baru dilahirkan. Hal ini diperkuat dengan berhasilnya Mebus dan kawan-kawan mengidentifikasi virus Rota pada kejadian diare yang ter jadi pada anak sapi yang baru dilahirkan. Infeksi virus Rota merupakan hal yang serius, kejadian yang mewabah pernah dilaporkan di Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Kanada dan Australia. Sedangkan kejadian di Indonesia yang dihubungkan dengan infeksi virus Rota belum dilaporkan. Virus Rota termasuk keluarga Reo viridea. Sesuai dengan namanya, virus Rota menyerupai roda (Rota = Wheel), mengandung asam nukleat (nucleid acid) yang berupa asam nukleat ribo (ribo nucleid acid, RNA) dan berserabut ganda (double stranded), tidak mempunyai selubung (envelop atau peplos). Hewan rentan adalah hewan yang berumur sangat muda. Selain menyerang babi, dapat pula menyerang sapi, domba, rusa, anjing, kucing, tikus, kelinci, unggas dan manusia. ...
