Judul: Hubungan Modal Sosial Dan Partisipasi Kepengurusan Dengan Taraf Hidup Anggota Program Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan (Kasus Petani Penerima Program Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan (PUAP) Di Desa Ngetuk, Kecamatan Nalumsari, Kabupaten Jepara)
Abstrak: Program Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan (PUAP) dari Kementerian Pertanian memiliki tujuan memberi solusi keterbatasan modal khususnya petani kecil. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan modal sosial dengan partisipasi petani pada Program PUAP terhadap tingkat taraf hidup masyarakat. Penelitian dan proses pengambilan data dilakukan pada Program PUAP Desa Ngetuk Kabupaten Jepara, Jawa Tengah dengan pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung oleh pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh melalui uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan kuat antara tingkat modal sosial dan tingkat partisipasi. Hal ini dikarenakan modal sosial antara pengurus, penerima, dan stakeholder mendorong kemauan dan kesadaran untuk berpartisipasi. Selanjutnya tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat partisipasi dan tingkat perubahan taraf hidup dikarenakan semua anggota tani dapat melakukan pinjaman sehingga semua anggota tani berpeluang meningkatkan taraf hidup sesuai usahanya.

Judul: Tingkat Partisipasi dan Taraf Hidup Petani dalam Program Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan di Desa Cikarawang.
Abstrak: Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan (PUAP) adalah bantuan modal usaha pertanian bagi petani anggota, petani pemilik, petani penggarap, buruh tani maupun rumah tangga tani. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menganalisis karakteristik petani, faktor eksternal, tingkat partisipasi petani, dan taraf hidup petani di Desa Cikarawang. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan pendekatan data kuantitatif dan didukung dengan data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan usia petani mayoritas usia sedang yaitu 42-57 tahun, tingkat pendidikan petani termasuk dalam kategori tinggi yaitu Sekolah Menengah Atas/Diploma/Sarjana, lahan sempit, jumlah tanggungan keluarga termasuk dalam kategori sedang, tingkat partisipasi petani tergolong non-partisipasi, dan tingkat taraf hidup termasuk dalam kategori sedang. Hasil penelitian kemudian menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan antara karakteristik petani dengan tingkat partisipasi. Dan juga tidak terdapat hubungan antara faktor eksternal dengan tingkat partisipasi. Selanjutnya tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat partisipasi dan tingkat perubahan taraf hidup.

Judul: Enhancement of photon absorbtion on BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin films semiconductor using photonic crystals.
Abstrak: In this research, has been conducted BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) thin films manufacturing for mole fraction x = 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.55; and concentration of 1 molar using chemical solution depositon (CSD) method. The materials, which are used in this research, are barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%], titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28), 97.999%], gallium trioxide [Ga2O3], 2-methoxyethanol [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] and 1 x 1 cm of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) glass as substrate. Two BST thin films are made that for BST thin films which are doped by 10% galium (BGST) as p-type layer and pure BST solution as n-type. BST solution is made by reacting barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%] and titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28)] into 2-methoxyethanol solvent [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] in accordance with mass gram for each x value. While, BGST solution is made in the same way as BST solution, plus adding gallium at 10% of the mass of BST. Once all materials are reacted, then vibrated using ultrasonic for 90 minutes, and followed by coating BGST / BST on the TCO substrate. Once the layer is formed, then annealed for 15 hours at temperature of 500 °C with increasing rate of 1.67 oC/minute. Characterizations of BST thin films with or without photonic crystals include the absorbance and transmittance in the visible light spectrum, as well as the electrical photoconductivity characterizations. From BST thin films without photonic crystals indicate that our thin films have light absorption area on almost the entire range of the visible light spectrum even to the infrared range with absorption value over than 67.6%, in addition, it can be seen that the maximum absorbance of BST thin films for all mole fractions lie in blue to green light spectrum region, 457 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm and the minimum in yellow to red light spectrum region, 570 nm ≤ λ ≤ 678 nm. The largest absorbance is found at x = 0.25 with average absorbance value of 92.04% and maximum and minimum absorbance peaks at wavelength of 500.89 and 657.72 nm, respectively. At x = 0.35, average absorbance value decreased to 83.55% with maximum and minimum peaks at 505.73 and 613.68 nm, respectively. Then increased to 91.16% at x = 0.45 with maximum and minimum peaks at 506.04 and 618.56 nm, respectively. At x = 0.55, average absorbance value decreased to 80.12% with maximum and minimum peaks at 507.85 and 608.79 nm, respectively. Moreover, it can be seen that the addition of barium mole fraction leads to wider maximum absorbance or minimum transmittance peaks and narrower minimum absorbance or maximum transmittance peaks in the same range of the green and blue & red light spectrums, respectively. BST thin films with photonic crystals show increasing in absorption for all x values in the range of 3.04 into 13.33%. At x = 0.25, average absorbance percentage increased 3.96% from 92.4 into 95.68%, for x = 0.35 average percentage increased 7.07% into 89.45 from 83.55%. Furthermore, average absorbance of BST thin films at x = 0.45 increased 3.04% from 91.16 into 93.93% and x = 0.55 has
