Judul: Peranan PUAP dan Raskin Dalam Perilaku Ekonomi dan Ketahanan Pangan Rumahtangga Petani (Kasus di Kecamatan Sadang, Kabupaten Kebumen)
Abstrak: The aim of this research is to descriptive performance of economic household and food security also analyze role of PUAP in paddy production and role of raskin in food consumption so that programs can improve agriculture household food security. This research used survey method to paddy peasant that received PUAP and raskin. To analyze performance of household food security used descriptive analysis by food availability, ratio food expenditure of total household revenue and number of energy sufficiency indicators. And to analyze role of PUAP and raskin in agriculture household food security used agriculture household model that consisted of 14 structural equations and 7 identities. The result indicated that paddy production used to household consumption so that for non food and human resources investment expenditure used income from non agriculture activity. Food security problem of 75% household sampel is food purchasing power that indicated by highly ratio food expenditure of total household revenue so that number of energy sufficiency have not been able to fulfill. PUAP not only has increased production so that increased food availability, but also increased non food expenditure. Raskin has reduced food expenditure but increased number of PUAP and raskin has decreased number of energy sufficiency. According to analysis result, production input subsidy will be effectice and efisien to increased paddy production so will improve household food availability and increase peasant revenue. Number of raskin need to increase adjusted to real rice need of household and also need high protein subsidy to increase number of energy sufficiency.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
