Judul: Analisis jender dalam kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian (Kasus balai lnformasi dan penyuluhan pertanian Kabupaten Daerah Tingkat II Karawang, Propinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Kehadiran SKB Mendagri-Mentan No. 54 Tahun 1996 dan No. 301/Kpts/L.P. 120/4/96 merupakan suatu perubahan besar terhadap kelembagaan penyuluhan pertanian. Dengan adanya kelembagaan baru penyuluhan pertanian maka perlu ditelaah kinerja BIPP termasuk di dalamnya BPP dengan menggunakan analisis jender. Masalah jender dalam kelembagaan penyuluhan menjadi penting mengingat pembangunan pertanian paradigma latila yang bias jender kurang menghasilkan pertanian yang berkelanjutan. Sehubungan itu akan dilihat bagaimanapembagian kerja (kualitatif), curahan waktu (kuantitatif) serta beban kerja dalam kegiatan produktif ? Sejauh mana akses dan kontrol dalam pengambilan kepututusan yang berkenaan dengan kegiatan produktif? Bagaimana sumberdaya pribadi dari keluarga mempengaruhi profil aktifitas, akses dan kontrol penyuluh pria dan wanita dalam kegiatan produktif ?

Judul: Analisis Gender dalam Kinerja Penyuluh di Badan Pelaksana Penyuluhan Pertanian, Perikanan dan Kehutanan (BP4K) Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Agriculture sector has central position in economic development in Indonesia. However, its development is facing obstacles such as low quality of human resources. According to government acknowledgment, cooperative extension system has been less function. Recent study also acknowledged about the extension worker performance. However, those studies did not include analysis of extension worker performance based on gender perspective whereas it was mentioned in President Instruction No. 9 Year 2000 that all stakeholders should include gender mainstreaming in policy and development programs. It is also stated in Law of Agriculture Extension No. 16 Year 2006 about agriculture extension with gender equality strategy. Based on these reasons, research on agriculture extension performance with gender perspective has been conducted. The purposes of this study were to: analyze the profile of BP4K Kabupaten Bogor on organization structure, job description and function and also human resources profile; extension worker performance based on gender perspective and; problems faced by extension worker to do their duties. This research involved 49 respondent consist of 42 male extension workers and seven female extension workers. This research used quantitative approach with survey method. Field observation was also conducted to see extension worker performance. Generally, skilled extension worker and expert extension worker have access toward all extension programs. It was found that the majority of all extension workers did not participate in PUAP and Prima Tani project. The problems faced by extension workers were low amount of extension worker resource, minimum facilities and inappropriate of PEMENPAN No. 2 Year 2008 with actual condition.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
