Judul: Strategi Bertahan Hidup Perempuan Di Daerah Pesisir (Dusun Muara, Desa Muara, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten)
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemiskinan yang terjadi pada perempuan dalam komunitas nelayan di Dusun Muara, Kabupaten Tangerang serta strategi bertahan hidup yang dipengaruhi oleh karakteristik perempuan tersebut. Selain itu, dilihat juga hubungannya dengan tingkat kesejahteraan. Strategi bertahan hidup perempuan di Dusun Muara terbagi menjadi dua yaitu strategi sosial dan ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang didukung oleh data kualitatif dari wawancara kepada aparatur desa dan warga sekitar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada lima indikator dari karakteristik individu yang dapat mempengaruhi strategi bertahan hidup yang dilakukan oleh perempuan yaitu umur, status perkawinan, besar tanggungan, jenis ketrampilan, dan pengalaman kerja.

Judul: Peran Aktivitas Perempuan Pesisir Dalam Rangka Peningkatan Ekonomi Keluarga: Kasus di Kabupaten Tangerang
Abstrak: Nowadays, the poverty issue of coastal people is still the top issue of developing maritime and fishery sector. There is apotential problem solving the issue of poverty through empowering women of coastal people. Women population is slightly more than half of the total population of Indonesia. The proportion of woman population is about the same of coastal area. This big number plus high quality skills render huge social ecomomic potensials. The main reason of this research is one step to pull poverty out through gender perspective and contribution, especially by improving women roles. The conservation of gender approach is that poverty issue and gender have the same root; poverty will cause difference of gender level, vice versa difference of gender level will cause poverty. Meanwhile women roles are not comprehended yet, or else it is not followed up by real action to take benefits from the roles. The objectives of this research are to analyze coastal women activities, knowing factors determining income, knowing the contibution of coastal women income to family's. This research uses multiple regresion analysis method. The final conclusion of the study is that coastal women, out of in house family daily activities regularly, do productive and social activities. On the other hand, men do only productive and social activities. Women contribute family income positively, but men roles of making a decision is still dominant.

Judul: Characterization and Expression of Tomato infectious chlorosis virus Coat Protein Gene in Escherichia coli
Abstrak: Tomato infectious chlorosis virus (TICV) is a member of Crinivirus genus. TICV infects tomato crop in Garut and Cipanas, West Java Indonesia. Tomato initially showed bright interveinal yellowing symptoms. The coat protein gene (CP-TICV) was amplified by RT-PCR from total RNA extracted from infected tomato leaves and the amplified fragment was cloned and completely sequenced. The fragment was subsequently subcloned into the pET-21b expression vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed to Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3)pLysS to express the coat protein. The coat protein fused to a 6xhistag, was purified by affinity chromatography using a NiNTA spin column. The identity of the purified protein was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. In this experiment, 792 bp of CP-TICV gene of TICV virus has been successfully cloned, sequenced, and expressed in E. coli. Based on nucleotide sequences alignment analysis, TICV-Indonesia strain showed 100% identity to TICV –Spain strain and 99% identity to North America, France, and California strains and based on amino acid sequences alignment analysis, TICV-Indonesia strain showed 100% identity to TICV –Spain, North America, France strains and 99.2% identity to California strain. CP-TICV showed over expressed in E. coli when it is induced with 1 mM IPTG and incubated at 37oC. Purified CP-TICV-Histag recombinants protein sized 29 kDa based on SDSPAGE analysis.
