Abstrak: Bantuan Sosial, Persepsi terhadap Bantuan, dan Konflik Sosial di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 (Studi Kasus Bantuan Sosial COVID-19 di Desa Klampok Kecamatan Wanasari Kabupaten Brebes Provinsi Jawa Tengah). Dibimbing oleh Rilus A. Kinseng. Pandemi COVID-19 telah mengubah berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk aspek ekonomi. Krisis ekonomi akibat pandemi COVID-19 membuat pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah mengeluarkan sejumlah bantuan sosial untuk diberikan kepada masyarakat yang terdampak COVID-19. Namun bantuan sosial COVID-19 melahirkan masalah sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis bantuan sosial yang diberikan selama pandemi COVID-19, respon masyarakat terhadap bantuan sosial COVID-19, hubungan karakteristik individu dengan persepsi terhadap bantuan sosial COVID-19, dan konflik sosial terkait bantuan sosial tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu pendekatan kuantitatif (survei) dan pendekatan kualitatif (wawancara mendalam). Jumlah responden penelitian adalah 30 orang yang didapat melalui tenik sampel acak sederhana. Jumlah informan 3 orang yang diambil melalui teknik purposive. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa bantuan sosial COVID-19 dinilai telah membantu masyarakat karena kebermanfaatan, kesesuaian, serta kemudahannya. Konflik sosial yang terjadi di Desa Klampok ialah perseteruan antara seorang warga dengan pemimpin tingkat RT, di mana warga tersebut menilai bantuan sosial COVID-19 tidak tepat sasaran. Konflik tersebut disebabkan oleh kecemburuan sosial, jumlah kuota bantuan sosial yang terbatas, dan data penerima bantuan yang tidak valid. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan tidak ada korelasi antara karakteristik individu dengan persepsi masyarakat terhadap bantuan sosial COVID-19. Kata kunci: bantuan sosial COVID-19, karakteristik individu, konflik, persepsi., Social Assistance, Perceptions of Social Assistance, and SocialConflicts during the Covid-19 Pandemic (Case Study of COVID-19 Social Assistance inKlampok Village, Wanasari District, Brebes Regency, Central Java Province). Supervised by Rilus A. Kinseng. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of life, including the economic aspect. The economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the central government from the regional government to issue a number of social assistance to be given to people who provide COVID-19. However, the COVID-19 social assistance gave rise to social problems. The purpose of this study was to analyze the social assistance provided during the COVID-19 pandemic, the community’s response to the COVID-19 social assistance, the correlation between individual characteristics and perceptions of the COVID-19 social assistance, and social conflicts related to the social assistance. The research method used is a quantitative approach (survey) and a qualitative approach (in-depth interviews). The number of research respondents is 30 people obtained through a simple random sample technique. The number of informants is 3 people which is done through a purposive technique. The results of this study reveal that COVID-19 social assistance has helped people who are considered useful, appropriate, and easy. The social conflict that occurred in Klampok Village was a feud between a resident and the leader of the neighborhood unit level, in which the residents assessed that the COVID-19 social assistance was not right on target. The social assistance conflict that occurred in Klampok Village was caused by social jealousy, the limited number of social assistance quotas, invalid data from beneficiaries. This study also shows that there is no correlation between individual characteristics and community perceptions of COVID-19 social assistance.

Judul: Analiysis of the Effect of Social Assistance on the Level of Community Welfare During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Idonesia
Abstrak: Kesejahteraan masyarakat dapat dilihat dari tingkat konsumsi makanan yang menjadi kebutuhan dasar keluarga atau seseorang. Untuk itu perlu penyediaan pangan yang cukup agar dapat memberikan gizi yang baik bagi tubuh. Selama pandemi Covid-19 kesejahteraan masyarakat menurun dan perlu ditingkatkat. Dalam hal ini pemerintah memberikan bantuan sosial sebagai program untuk membantu masyarakat yang kurang mampu dan yang terdampak pandemi Covid- 19. Maka untuk melihat pengaruh bantuan sosial dan fakto-faktor pengaruh lainnya terhadap tingkat kesejahteraan dapat digunakan indikator dari prevalensi ketidakcukupan konsumsi pangan (KKP). Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu data dari 34 provinsi di tahun 2017-2021. Dengan metode analisis deskriptif dan metode analisis regresi data panel yang melalui pendekatan Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Hasil estimasi data panel menunjukan bahwa pengeluaran bantuan sosial, pertumbuhan PDRB, pendapatan masyarakat, dan tingkat konsumsi makanan memiliki pengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap penurunan KKP. Sedangkan pada persentase penduduk miskin tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap KKP. Kata Kunci: Kesejahteraan, Bantuan Sosial, Pemerintah, Data Panel

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
