Judul: Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oils Leaves of Cinnamomum spp. (Lauraceae) against Crocidolomia pavonana and Their Phytotoxicity on Broccoli Seedlings
Abstrak: Essential oils from leaves of 13 species of Cinnamomum were tested for their insecticidal activity on the cabbage head caterpillar Crocidolomia pavonana with leaf immerse method. The results showed that the treatment with 1% (w/v) essential oils leaves of C. celebicum, C. multiflorum, C. sintoc, and C. verum caused 21.45, 93.65, 60.30, and 76.10% mortality, respectively. Based on the results of phytotoxicity and insecticidal activity tests, C. multiflorum oil was further tested at 6 concentration levels. In all treatments, larval mortality has occurred at 24 hours after treatment (HAT) and increased at 48 HAT. LC50 of C. multiflorum oil at 24 and 48 HAT was 0.504 and 0.396%, respectively. The treatment with C. multiflorum oil at ≤0.31% did not inhibit the development of C. pavonana larvae. Determination of the chemical constituents of Cinnamomum oils were carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Totally, 345 compounds were identified. Methyleugenol constituted the main component (49.4%) of leaf essential oil of C. multiflorum and was assumed to be responsible for the insecticidal activity of the oil against C. pavonana larvae. LC50 of pure methyleugenol obtained at 0.365% (48 HAT) and 0.363% (72 HAT). The results showed that C. multiflorum was more effective with LC50 value equivalent to methyleugenol content of 0.32% (24 HAT) and 0.24% (48 HAT).

Judul: Biological Activities of Extract Mixtures of Tephrosia vogelii (Leguminosae) and Annona squamosa (Annonaceae) against Crocidolomia pavonana.
Abstrak: The use of botanical insecticides is one of pest control tactics that has several advantages, such us easily biodegradable in the environment, slow development of insect resistance, synergism of extract components so that they are more effective, short persistence, and generally safe to non-target organisms. Insecticidal properties of Tephrosia vogelii leaf and Annona squamosa seed extracts have been well established, but the evaluation of toxicity, effect on fecundity, and effect on oviposition of T. vogelii and A. squamosa extract mixture against Crocidolomia pavonana has not been done. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the toxicity, effect on fecundity, and effect on oviposition of T. vogelii leaf extract and A. squamosa seed extract and their mixtures against C. pavonana. In the toxicity test, ethyl acetate extract of T. vogelii leaves and methanol extract of A. squamosa seeds and their mixtures were tested by a leaf-dipping method against second-instar larvae of C. pavonana. Each test extract was tested at six concentration levels in the range of 0.025%-0.190% and 0.004%-0.020% for T. vogelii and A. squamosa extracts, respectively. The extract mixture was tested at three concentration ratios, i.e. 1:1, 9:1, and 1:9, with concentrations ranges of 0.0050%-0.0400%, 0.025%-0.200%, and 0.004%-0.020%, respectively. Each treatment and control were replicated five times. Observation was conducted from 24 to 96 hours after treatment (HAT). The number of dead larvae was recorded. Larval mortality data was analyzed by probit method using POLO-PC. The fecundity test was conducted using T. vogelii and A. squamosa extract and their mixture which has the highest toxicity at LC25 and LC50 levels. Treated leaves were fed to second, third, and fourth instar C. pavonana larvae by a leaf-dipping method for 48 hours. The emerging adults were paired to obtain 15 pairs for each test concentration and control. The number of eggs laid each day was collected and counted. The adults were maintained until death. The total egg production and the fecundity per day were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan's multiple range test (α = 0.05). The tests on antioviposition effect was conducted using T. vogelii and A. squamosa extract and their mixture with a concentration ratio of 1:9 at LC99 and 2 x LC99 levels. The test extracts were prepared in the same way as in the toxicity test. Broccoli plants used were 1 month old (possessing 5 leaves) and 2 month old (possessing 8 leaves). Broccoli plants were sprayed with extract preparations until run-off. Four broccoli plants consisting of 2 treated broccoli plants and 2 control plants were placed alternatingly in a plastic cage. Two pairs of 3 day old adults of C. pavonana were introduced into the cage and allowed to oviposit for 2 days. The number of eggs laid on treated plants and control plants were compared with paired t-test. viii The results show that the mortality of C. pavonana larvae as a result of the treatment with T. vogelii extracts and A. squamosa extracts and their mixtures increased with the increase in extract concentration and observation time. T. vogelii extract is highly toxic and A. squamosa

Judul: Makna televisi bagi masyarakat adat : studi kasus di kampung Naga, desa Neglasari, kecamatan Salawu, kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Propinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Media televisi sebagai media massa elektronik berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan masyarakat, baik kehidupan sosial maupun budaya. Dampaknya dapat merubah tatanan tradisional yang berlaku dalam masyarakat, pola tingkah laku atau gaya hidup individu, masyarakat, pendidikan dan kehidupan keluarga. Televisi mempunyai kekuatan merubah sikap, pendapat, imajinasi, keyakinan dan tingkah laku individu. Televisi juga merupakan keajaiban teknologi komunikasi karena pengaruhnya kuat sekali dan dapat menyentuh masyarakat kota hingga masyarakat adat. Kehadiran media massa televisi tersebut mempunyai makna tersendiri bagi masyarakat adat. Pemaknaan tersebut dicerminkan dalam tindakan mereka, yaitu dapat dilihat dari acara televisi yang mereka tonton. Seringnya menonton acara televisi pada akhirnya akan menjadi kebiasaan, sehingga lambat laun akan mempengaruhi kehidupan tradisi mereka. sity Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) Mendeskripsikan sejarah masuknya media massa televisi ke dalam kehidupan Masyarakat Adat Kampung Naga, (2) Mendeskripsikan makna kehadiran televisi bagi Masyarakat Adat Kampung Naga, dan (3) Mendeskripsikan tindakan-tindakan yang dilakukan oleh Masyarakat Adat dalam mencerminkan makna televisi.
