Judul: Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas komunikasi di dalam sekolah lapang padi
Abstrak: A study was carried out to analyze the relationships among influencing factors to communication effectiveness in socialization of technological innovation in conducting the program of Field School of Integrated Crop Management of Rice, in Cikarawang Village, Bogor Barat Sub-district, Bogor City. Data were collected using questionnaire method, and then analyzed using τ - Kendal descriptive method. The results of the study showed that the factor of field guide characteristic had a significant correlation with the communication participation of farmer. The field guide characteristics also had a significant correlation with the technological innovation characteristic (i.e. trialibility and observability). Some elements of farmer characteristics (i.e. age and experience) significantly correlated with the communication participation of farmer. However, all elements of communication channels (type of media and place and time suitability) were not correlated with the communication participation of farmer. This could be due to the absence of other type of media, other than the direct communication (meeting, discussion and field practice). Farmer participation to the main activities of the field school program (PRA, meeting, discussion and field practice) significantly correlated with the knowledge enhancement (cognitive) and with the attitude change tendency (affective) of program-involved farmers. However, the communication participation of farmer was not correlated with the action of program-involved farmers to apply technological innovation of the field school. In other words, although program-involved farmers had obtained enough knowledge and had tendency to choose technological components in the field school program, but in general they had not yet applied optimally the components.

Judul: Aspek kehidupan dan reproduksi pada lumba-lumba
Abstrak: Lumba-lumba merupakan mammalia yang hidup di laut dan sebagian hidup di beberapa perairan air tawar. Hewan ini mempunyai bentuk tubuh yang streamline, moncong seperti paruh serta mempunyai gigi kurang lebih 200 buah. Tubuh lumba-lumba dilapisi oleh spermaceti yang terdiri dari lapisan minyak. Hewan yang sering terlihat di gelanggang-gelanggang samudra ini mempunyai ekor horizontal dan panjang tubuhnya berkisar 1,1 meter sampai 9 meter (Yablokov, 1974). Bia- sanya jantan lebih besar daripada yang betina. Di dalam klasifikasinya lumba-lumba termasuk dalam kelas mammalia, ordo Cetacea dan subordo Odontoceti. Di seluruh perairan dunia, terdapat banyak sekali spesies lumba-lumba, yang keseluruhannya termasuk ke dalam kelompok famili Delphinidae yang terdiri atas 19 genus ya- itu : Steno, Sotalia, Stenella, Delphinus, Lissodelphis, Orchinus, Lagenodelphis, Tursiops, Grampus, Lagenorhynchus Orcaella, Cephalorhynchus, Peponocephala, Feresa, Pseu- dorca, Globicephala, Phocoena, Neophocoena, dan yang terakhir Phoconoides (Yablokov, 1974). Tiga genus yang terakhir tidak termasuk lumba-lumba. Selain famili tersebut di atas, terdapat pula lumba- lumba yang hidup di perairan air tawar, yaitu dari famili Platanistidae (Cousteau, J.Y. , 1975). Makanan utama lumba-lumba berupa ikan (tuna, cumi-cu- mi, dan lain-lain), mollusca, cephalopoda dan crustacea. Dalam mencari makanannya, lumba-lumba bermigrasi secara teratur. Mereka menghabiskan musim panas di daerah kutub, kemudian bermigrasi ke daerah selatan selama musim dingin. Habitat lumba-lumba yang mutlak adalah air, baik air asin maupun air tawar. Mereka tidak dapat meninggalkan air, meskipun menurut asal-usulnya lumba-lumba merupakan mammalia darat (Coffey, D.J. 1977). Menurut Yablokov (1974) lumba-lumba betina memiliki sepasang ovarium yang rata/licin yang terdapat dalam ova- rian sac. Pada vagina beberapa spesies lumba-lumba terda- pat sumbat vagina/plug..dst
