Judul: The ability of leaders and their role in community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic (Case: A village in West Bekasi District, Bekasi City, West Java Province)
Abstrak: Ditegaskan bahwa penanggulangan COVID-19 di Indonesia menggunakan strategi pendekatan komunitas. Komunitas harus mampu menekan penyebaran kasus infeksi COVID-19. Suatu komunitas akan mampu mengatasi bencana apabila memiliki aksi kolektif, yang membutuhkan pemimpin untuk mengarahkan masyarakatnya melakukan aksi bersama. Maka tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kemampuan pemimpin komunitas pada masa pandemi COVID-19, menganalisis aksi kolektif komunitas, dan menganalisis kemampuan pemimpin dan perannya dalam resiliensi komunitas pada masa pandemi COVID-19 di suatu wilayah yang mendapat penghargaan sebagai kampung Tangguh. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan metode survei dengan kuesioner kepada 40 responden, dengan diperkuat oleh wawancara mendalam. Data diolah menggunakan Microsoft Excel 2013 dengan analisis statistika deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemampuan pemimpin komunitas pada masa pandemi COVID-19 tinggi, dengan tingkat aksi kolektif komunitas rendah. Kemampuan pemimpin komunitas tergolong tinggi namun belum dapat meningkatkan aksi kolektif di antara warga sehingga peranannya rendah pada resiliensi komunitas di masa pandemi COVID-19., It’s emphasized that the response to COVID-19 in Indonesia uses a community approach strategy. The community must be able to suppress the spread of COVID-19 infection cases. A community will be able to overcome a disaster if it has a collective action that requires a leader to direct the community to take collective action. So, the purpose of this study is to analyse the ability of community leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyse the collective action of the community, and analyse the ability of leaders and their role in community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in an area that was awarded as a Tangguh village. The data was collected using a survey method with a questionnaire to 40 respondents, reinforced by in-depth interviews. The data was processed using Microsoft Excel 2013 with descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the ability of community leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic was high, with a low level of community collective action. The ability of community leaders is high but has not been able to increase collective action among citizens so that their role is low in community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judul: Peran Pemimpin Lokal dan Aksi Kolektif dalam Resiliensi Komunitas Pedesaan Selama Pandemi COVID-19 (Kasus: Sebuah dusun di Kecamatan Belopa, Kabupaten Luwu, Sulawesi Selatan)
Abstrak: Pandemi COVID-19 yang telah menyebar hingga ke desa mengharuskan pemerintah dan warga komunitas memiliki kemampuan untuk mengurangi dampak kerugian dari pandemi COVID-19. Peran pemimpin dibutuhkan untuk menggerakkan aksi kolektif dalam membangun resiliensi komunitas selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran pemimpin lokal dan aksi kolektif dalam resiliensi komunitas selama pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan instrumen kuesioner yang dilengkapi oleh pendekatan kualitatif dengan wawancara mendalam dan observasi. Lokasi penelitian yakni di Dusun Kalobang, Desa Senga Selatan, Kabupaten Luwu, Sulawesi Selatan. Pemilihan responden menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan responden sebanyak 50 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingginya tingkat peran pemimpin lokal memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan tingkat aksi kolektif komunitas pedesaan selama pandemi COVID-19. Sedangkan tingkat aksi kolektif tidak memiliki hubungan dengan tingkat resiliensi komunitas pedesaan selama pandemi COVID-19. Namun, warga komunitas memersepsikan tingkat resiliensi komunitas berada pada kategori tinggi., The COVID-19 pandemic that has spread to villages requires the government and community members to have the ability to reduce the impact of losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. The role of leaders is needed to drive collective action in building community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research to analyze the role of local leaders and collective action in community resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judul: Macroalgae development as feeding stimulants for the adult sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla Linnaeus 1758)
Abstrak: Development of artificial feed for somatic growth and gonad quality is one of the focus of research on sea urchin aquaculture activities. Palatability is important factor when developing artificial feed for aquaculture diets. This study investigated the effects of macroalgae (Sargassum polycystum, Gracilaria lichenoides, and Ulva reticulata) as feeding stimulants to artificial diets consumption and gonad profile for the adult sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla, by three feeding trials. Previously starved T. gratilla were held in replicated (3X) 50 L aquaria with recirculation water system (in the first feeding trial) and flow through water system (in the second and third feeding trial). In the first feeding trial, preference of T. gratilla for dried macroalgae was assessed in choice feeding experiment. T. gratilla displayed significant preference for the agar containing dried U. reticulata at 20% agar weight over nine other diets treatment when they were offered simultaneously. Total protein, energy and the ratio of protein to energy in the dried macroalgae had no correlation on agar consumption by T. gratilla. Three artificial diets were made by incorporating one of each of these dried macroalgae at 5% feed weight used in the second feeding trial. Although no significant difference in artificial diets containing dried macroalgae, urchins fed diets containing dried macroalgae consumed more than basal diet when they were offered as single diet. These results indicate that dried macroalgae added to the artificial diets act as feeding stimulants and increasing the acceptability of artificial sea urchin diets. The third feeding trial used dried U. reticulata as feeding stimulant to artificial diet. Data suggest that artificial diet containing 10% dried U. reticulata boosting feed consumption and significantly increasing nutrient accumulation, gonad index, egg diameter and fix gonad color.
