This study aims to evaluate the implementation of beef cattle management in accordance with GFP standards in groups of farmers. The method used consists of interview and observation. The questionnaire includes knowledge of reproduction, feed management, maintenance management, health and disease and housing. The impact of the implementation beef cattle management was observed based on the BCS of beef cattle. Research respondents were 10 members of the Pincuran Boga Sakato farmers group and 15 members of the Padang Dama II farmers group. Data were analyzed using method. The result of the study on the application of beef cattle management to both group of farmers were categorised in the less category (<60%), the percentage of Pincuran Boga Sakato (49,95%) and Padang Dama II (54,86%) The application of aspects that need attention is the knowledge of reproduction, maintenance management and health and disease of livestock. Overall, the performance of the beef cattle management in Padang Dama II farmers group was better than in the Pincuran Boga Sakato farmers group.

Judul: Metrik Einstein (Anti-) Self-Dual Berdimensi Empat dengan Metode Cartan
Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
