Judul: Relasi Praktik Politik Etnik dengan Kesejahteraan Kelompok Etnik
Abstrak: Etnisitas sebagai simbol identitas kerap dimanfaatkan sebagai alat untuk memperebutkan kekuasaan politik dan menarik dukungan kelompok etnik. Fenomena ini seharusnya dapat menyumbang peningkatan kesejahteraan bagi kelompok etnik, namun hal ini malah berdampak sebaliknya. Untuk itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pembentukan identitas kelompok etnik dan keberlangsungan praktik politik etnik, menganalisis relasi praktik politik dengan kesejahteraan kelompok etniknya beserta ketimpangannya. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Way Huwi, Kecamatan Jati Agung, Kabupaten Lampung Selatan, Provinsi Lampung dengan metode kuantitatif serta dukungan metode kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum hanya terdapat hubungan antara praktik politik etnik bidang ekonomi dengan kesejahteraan kelompok etnik, pada bidang seperti: infrastruktur, pendidikan, dan kesehatan. Selain itu, secara umum tingkat kesejahteraan kedua kelompok etnik berada pada taraf agak timpang. Dengan demikian analisis ini dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan pertimbangan pembuat kebijakan khususnya dalam implementasi program pembangunan serta mampu mengkaji tentang implementasi praktik politik etnik dengan kesejahteraan kelompok etnik

Judul: Pembentukan identitas etnik dalam arena ekonomi politik lokal di era desentralisasi (pergulatan politik identitas etnik di Kendari, Sulawesi Tenggara)
Abstrak: Despite of various previous researches on local political economy have been done in Indonesia, however, there still few studies which analyze the relation between local political economy as an arena and political realities of ethnic identity. Therefore, this study is aimed to analyze the formation of ethnic identity, ethnic domination practices, forms of strategy, struggle and ethnic identity formation in the arena of local political economy. By applying qualitative research which was supported by quantitative data, research which was conducted in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi showed that the formation of ethnic identity in the arena of local political economy is individual or ethnic groups habitus, on the line of objectivication and subjectivication continuum of actors who’re interacted each other. Afterwards, liberative democration as choice of democatic system in desentralization era, open opportunity for ethnic mobilization (identity) of actors (elite) on local political economy arena. Therefore, it’s not an astonishment when practises on local political economy arena are always ethnic bias, as shown in practises of symbolic power domination, political power domination practises, and economical power domination practises. In order to sustain the power domination, actors perform a series of strategies, such as: symbolic reproduction, symbolic investment, economical invansion, discourse support, power invansion, symbolic support, symbolic penetration, resistance, discourse reproduction, strategic alliances. Thereafter perpetuating the formation formed on local political economy arena, consisting of domination formation and dominated formation. []

Judul: Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oils Leaves of Cinnamomum spp. (Lauraceae) against Crocidolomia pavonana and Their Phytotoxicity on Broccoli Seedlings
Abstrak: Essential oils from leaves of 13 species of Cinnamomum were tested for their insecticidal activity on the cabbage head caterpillar Crocidolomia pavonana with leaf immerse method. The results showed that the treatment with 1% (w/v) essential oils leaves of C. celebicum, C. multiflorum, C. sintoc, and C. verum caused 21.45, 93.65, 60.30, and 76.10% mortality, respectively. Based on the results of phytotoxicity and insecticidal activity tests, C. multiflorum oil was further tested at 6 concentration levels. In all treatments, larval mortality has occurred at 24 hours after treatment (HAT) and increased at 48 HAT. LC50 of C. multiflorum oil at 24 and 48 HAT was 0.504 and 0.396%, respectively. The treatment with C. multiflorum oil at ≤0.31% did not inhibit the development of C. pavonana larvae. Determination of the chemical constituents of Cinnamomum oils were carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Totally, 345 compounds were identified. Methyleugenol constituted the main component (49.4%) of leaf essential oil of C. multiflorum and was assumed to be responsible for the insecticidal activity of the oil against C. pavonana larvae. LC50 of pure methyleugenol obtained at 0.365% (48 HAT) and 0.363% (72 HAT). The results showed that C. multiflorum was more effective with LC50 value equivalent to methyleugenol content of 0.32% (24 HAT) and 0.24% (48 HAT).
