Judul: Strengthen Of Capacity The Association Of Coconut Farmers Indonesian (Apki) In District Kahayan Kuala, Sub-Province Of Pulang Pisau, Province Of Kalimantan Tengah
Abstrak: APKI is a gathering medium for coconut farmers to improve the farmers bargain position with the Installation for Increase the prosperity of farmers. This research can learnt by The Community of District Kahayan Kuala sector coconut farm became the first occupation. The farmers feel their income from coconut farm business get weak position of bargain. The problem faced by the farmers to develop their business are : The Human Resources are low, The Organization Management, The Technology Production are limited, The Use of Social Capital are not optimal. This research are to analyze the work of APKI in District Kahayan Kuala give describing potention and the problem are faced give evaluative describe to the development program make strong the capacity istitution of APKI through arranged program to strong the human resources technology and social capital. This thing is a Qualitative Research.

Judul: Analysis of Business Development Derivative Products Coconut Processing in Jambi Province
Abstrak: This study analyzes the business development of coconut derivative products processing, i.e. processing of cooking oil, coconut husk and coconut shell charcoal. It is an effort to increase value-added commodities and to increase the coconut farmers’ income. The business will be run through a cooperative business entity in order to achieve the effectiveness and efficiency of business. Feasibility analysis results indicate that the three businesses are feasible to be developed in the district of Tanjung Jabung West, where the Net Present Value is positive, are the Net Benefit Cost Ratio greater than 1. The Internal Rate of Return is greater than interest actual interest and Payback Period of business is faster than a predetermined project period. Development of coconut derivative products processing business based agency cooperative efforts to increase farmers' income up to 17,48 percent per year. It also increases the absorption of human resources and can enhance regional development through the allocation of SHU by 15 percent to fund education, social and environmental development. In addition, its existence is able to absorb the labor of up to 42 people in each area.

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.
