Judul: Participation of Women Farmers Group Lestari in the “Bunda Menyapa” Program
Abstrak: Penyuluhan merupakan kegiatan yang sering kali dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat pedesaan. Kegiatan tersebut dibutuhkan karena dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan untuk memecahkan permasalahan yang ada Namun penyuluhan tidak selalu menunjukkan keberhasilan yang diharapkan. Ketidakberhasilan tersebut sering kali dilihat dari berbagai faktor, salah satunya adalah motivasi. Motivasi terbagi menjadi motivasi intrinsik dan motivasi ekstrinsik. Motivasi berperan sebagai dorongan dan energi psikologis individu untuk melakukan suatu kegiatan tertentu, misalnya dalam program penyuluhan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis motivasi di dalam keikutsertaan penyuluhan dalam bentuk partisipasi, dan hubungan motivasi dengan partisipasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif melalui metode survei serta didukung dengan data kualitatif., Extension is an activity that is often needed by rural communities. These activities are needed because they can increase knowledge and skills to solve existing problems. However, counseling does not always show the expected success. This failure is often seen from various factors, one of which is motivation. Motivation is divided into intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Motivation acts as an individual's psychological impulse and energy to carry out a certain activity, for example in program counseling. The purpose of this study was to analyze the motivation to participate in counseling in the form of participation, and the relationship between motivation and participation. This study uses a quantitative approach through survey methods and is supported by qualitative data.

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: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
