Judul: Agroindustrial development strategy based on nagari
Abstrak: Nagari merupakan kesatuan sistem nilai, kelembagaan dan fisik suatu kawasan sebagai wujud sistem adat Minangkabau yang meliputi kekerabatan, wilayah, pemerintahan, ekonomi dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang model strategi pengembangan agroindustri berbasis nagari dengan tahapan : (1) merumuskan kiat pengelolaan nagari, (2) menentukan komoditas dan agroindutri unggulan, (3) merumuskan strategi pengembangan agroindustri, dan (4) merancang sistem pendukung pengembangan agroindustri. Penelitian ini mempergunakan pendekatan intervensi sistem total dengan pilihan pendekatan berupa : strategi pengembangan asumsi dan pengujian, dan pendekatan kerangka kerja logis dengan mempergunakan beberapa alat analisis seperti : proses jejaring analitik, fuzzy non numerik, pemodelan interpretasi struktural dan studi kelayakan usaha.

Judul: Design of intelligent decision support system for the development of agroindustry based agropolitan
Abstrak: Agropolitan is a concept of agricultural development based on regional dimension which optimizes local potential resources and increases local competitive advantages. However, agropolitan development has some obstacles to be implemented such as no coordination and cooperation between stakeholder. The purpose of this study was to establish agroindustry based agropolitan concept. Through system approach, the intelligent decision support system (DSS) developed in this research was to support the implementation of market and material driven agropolitan development. The intelligent DSS was also able to define and delineate spatially the agropolitan area where agriculture had a most contribution to mean of support and welfare of local residents. Meanwhile, within its agropolitan center, the agroindustry could increase agriculture added value to support agropolitan implementation and its sustainibility. The model has been tested at Kabupaten Probolinggo and showed that corn, mango, onion and potato were best commodities within the region and corn based ethanol was highest priority product. Ethanol agroindustry was designed with capacity of 30 milion gallons per year that feasible to be established. As a stucture and infrastructure of supporting agropolitan based on agroindustry, it was recommended to develop market and road. Considering medium level of existing human resource and infrastructure condition, vertical integrated institution has been selected as an appropriate institution model in agroindusty based agropolitan.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
