Judul: The Potential of and Challenges for the Indonesian Beef Self-Sufficiency Programme.
Abstrak: Over the last decade there has been a change in the global food system, including the livestock sector. Growing population, higher incomes, increasing urbanisation and shifting food preferences contribute to rising demand for animal food products, particularly in developing countries. In response, the Indonesian government promoted the beef self-sufficiency programme, largely motivated by revitalisation programmes in agriculture, fisheries and forestry, introduced in 2005. This paper examines the potential of and challenges for the Indonesian beef self-sufficiency policy, and aims to discuss the importance of improving productivity in the beef sector by encouraging investment in research and development, as well as improving efficiency along the supply chain. The findings suggest that achieving beef self-sufficiency through the improvement of productivity would help poverty reduction and encourage business diversification in the agriculture and livestock sectors.

Judul: Analisis Sumberdaya dan Konsumsi Daging Sapi di Indonesia Tahun 2005-2010
Abstrak: Indonesian beef resources problem is the high demand of import rate which is interfere with the independence and potential in food trap exporting countries (DITJENAK 2010). The Indonesian beef consumtion problem is the low consumption of beef between other ASEAN countries. The objective of the study is to analyzed the resources and the consumption of beef in Indonesian from 2005-2010. A descriptive design was implemented and a set of scondary data was used in the study. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excell 2007 for Windows. The result showed that the production (including offal) national has rose from positive percentage rate (2,91%). The average percentage of total production amounted to 77,59 percent, and imports amounting to 22,41 percent. The availability of beef has rose from positive percentage rate (6,04%). The average availability of beef is 1,69 kg/cap/yr or 286,63 thousand tons/yr. Amount of the consumption of levels tended to increase (2,83%). The beef consumption in 2010 is 1,56 kg/kap/th. The average of national beef consumption reach 1,47 kg/cap/yr. The type of largest consumption is food made from beef (soto/gule/sop/rawon, sate/tongseng, mie bakso, and daging goreng) reach 0,93 kg/cap/yr. The lowest consumption is offal reach 0,02 kg/cap/yr. Ideal consumption of beef is 2,46 kg/cap/yr. Actual consumption of beef is still less than ideal. The difference is -1 kg/cap /yr. The average sufficiency availability with respect to imports (on trend) of beef from 2005 to 2010 to meet the actual consumption of beef population of Indonesia. The average sufficiency availability without regard import (absolute) of beef has not been able to meet the actual consumption of the population of Indonesia. The sufficiency availability on trend and absolute of beef are not able to meet the ideal consumption of the population in Indonesia.

Judul: Karakterisasi Optik dan Listrik Kalsium Titanat (CaTiO3) Hasil Sintesis Hidrotermal dan Annealing
Abstrak: Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan material kalsium titanat (CaTiO3) melalui metode hidrotermal dan annealing. Pembuatan material CaTiO3 dengan menggunakan prekursor kalsium oksida (CaO) dari cangkang telur itik dan bubuk material TiO2. Perlakuan diawali dengan pembuatan kalsium oksida (CaO) yang diperoleh melalui transformasi kalsium karbonat (CaCO3) hasil kalsinasi. Untuk proses pembuatan CaTiO3 dengan melarutkan bubuk CaO dan bubuk TiO2 ke dalam larutan amoniak (NH4OH) menggunakan metode hidrotermal (suhu 2000C), kemudian bubuk CaTiO3 dipelet dan annealing pada tiga variasi suhu yaitu 7000C, 8000C dan 9000C. Ketiga sampel tersebut di karakterisasi dan dilakukan pengujian secara fisik. Pola XRD menunjukkan bahwa sampel CaTiO3 terbentuk optimal pada annealing suhu 9000C dengan ukuran kristal sebesar 38,36 nm. Sedangkan dari uji SEM dapat ditentukan ukuran butir kristal dari ketiga sampel CaTiO3 secara berturut-turut : 0,23 μm, 0,22 μm dan 0,25 μm. Pada karakterisasi optik, serapan yang paling tinggi terdapat di daerah ultra violet (UV) yaitu pada panjang gelombang 360-380 nm, sebaliknya merefleksikan di daerah visible dan infrared. Dari uji optik juga dapat ditentukan band gap dari suatu sampel. Nilai band gap yang diperoleh dari sampel CaTiO3 yang diannealing 7000C, 8000C dan 9000C secara berturut-turut yaitu 3,43 eV; 3,36 eV dan 3,34 eV. Dengan adanya kenaikan suhu pada sampel maka band gap yang diperoleh semakin kecil. Dari karakteristik listrik dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada sampel annealing suhu 7000C bersifat nonohmik, sedangkan pada sampel annealing suhu 8000C dan 9000C bersifat ohmik dan merupakan bahan semikonduktor. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh nilai resistivitas dan konduktivitasnya yang masih berada pada range semikonduktor.
