The quantitative data in this study were processed using SPSS ( Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In this study, the measured variable is divided into three sections, i.e the entrepreneur characteristics variable with 18 indicators, the entrepreneurial competencies variable with 18 indicators and the business performance variable with three indicators . The results showed that (1) the level of entrepreneur characteristics, entrepreneurial competencies and business performance of the dairy farmers are at a low level, (2) the entrepreneur characteristic has an adequate real positive significant relationship with entrepreneurial competencies of the dairy farmers. The entrepreneur characteristics and entrepreneurial competencies each with business performance has no real positive relationship, (3) the entrepreneur characteristics and entrepreneurial competencies together with business performance of the dairy farmers have a real

Judul: Entrepreneurial Competencies and Business Succesful of Dairy Farmer Pujon, Malang.
Abstrak: Entrepreneurs can see, consider, and choose business opportunities well. Entrepreneurs collect all needed resources to run the business and take innovation in process. Innovation could increase the economic growth. Livestock be one of potential sector for economic growth. Gross domestic product (GDP) of live stock is increase, about eight to 35 percent per year (2007- 2012). So does the labor of livestock. Risen GDP and labor could be an oppurtunity for the policy maker to increase the entrepreneurial skills. Dairy is one of strategic product of livestock. Pujon is the most producer of dairy roduct. Nevertheless, productivity and farm size in Pujon are at low level. It indicates that competencies of entrepreneur at low level. Competencies of entrepreneurs has a correlaton to succesful business.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
