Judul: Analisis Gender dalam Ketahanan Pangan Rumah Tangga Petani Hutan Rakyat (Kasus Desa Bojonggenteng Kecamatan Jampangkulon Kabupaten Sukabumi)
Abstrak: Food security became a universal issue in the face of world food vulnerability. Private forests provide a solution by becoming one of the food providers. Accordingly, women and men hold different important role. Women manage the food, while men manage private forests. This study uses the Harvard Framework for analyzing the division of labor, access and control of gender, and the factors that influence it. The method used was a survey on private forest farmers of Bojonggenteng Village. The results showed the level of private forests contribution, education level, income level, and tenure level has a positive effect; the household size has negative effect; division of labor, access and control gender had no effect on household food security. Men dominate on productive activities and women dominate on reproductive activities. In the social activities, both of them tend to do it. Access to and control over resources and benefits aspects are different between men and women. Factors influencing include Sundanese culture and the Islamic religion

Judul: The analysis of gender roles in the achievement of food security in farm household levels at South Konawe district, south East Sulawesi
Abstrak: Two of the eight goals of the Millennium Development are to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and to promote gender equality and empower women. Mostly in developing countries both women and men are responsible for family food availability, and it is determined by their roles in the family which can be revealed from their working time allocation both in productive and reproductive (domestic) activities. The high rate of malnutrition problems in South Konawe indicated food insecurity at the household level. Since food is the basic human right, its fulfillment should be considered. The objectives of this study were (1) to analyze gender roles in the achievement of family food security, (2) to analyze factors determining working decision making on working on non-farm and off-farm in farm household level, and (3) to analyze determining factors of food security at household levels. Descriptive-qualitative analysis were employed to examine the objectives while econometric approaches were used to analyze the second and the last objectives. Since the dependent variable was a biner, a logit model was employed, and since the cumulative distribution of dependent variable was nonlinear, the maximum likelihood was employed to estimate the parameter. There are three results. First, gender roles in the achievement of household’s food security were determined by their working time allocation and their income. Most of women’s time, except for leisure, was allocated for their domestic works, while most of men’s time was allocated for their farming activities. Men contribute more income from non-farm activities compared to women. Second, decisions on working on non-farm and off-farm by both genders were determined by economic variables such as gender income, on-farm income, human resources capability, such as education and skills, and job opportunity. Three, the determinant factors of household food security were economic variables, such as gender income and farm income, and family size.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
