Judul: Analisis kelayakan usaha dan optimasi produksi dengan metode fuzzy pada usaha kerajinan rumput walingi (Cyperus elatus L.) di CV Cyndo Dayna Utama
Abstrak: Pada saat ini sebagian besar usaha agribisnis dan agroindustri Indonesia berada pada skala kecil dan menengah. Pada umumnya usaha-usaha ini masih mengalami berbagai kendala seperti kurangnya modal usaha, kurangnya profesionalisme dalam aspek teknologi, kurangnya kemampuan manajerial dan kewiraswastaan, serta lemahnya aspek pemasaran. Oleh sebab itu perlu dicari solusi dalam upaya peningkatan kualitas sumberdaya manusia Indonesia bagi pelaku usaha-usaha tersebut. Dalam menghadapi berbagai kendala-kendala di atas, perlu dibentuk suatu wadah yang dapat mendorong calon wirausahawan untuk menjadi usahawan yang handal di lapangan. Salah satu bentuk dari wadah tersebut ialah Inkubator Bisnis dan Teknologi (IBT). Perkembangan IBT di Indonesia diawali dalam tahun 1994 oleh Departemen Koperasi dan Pembinaan Pengusaha Kecil (PPK) dengan bantuan sebagian dana dari UNDP (United Nations Development Programme). Pada tahun 1994 tersebut, empat inkubator berdiri di PUSPIPTEK (Pusat Pengembangan Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi) Serpong, ITS, UNS, dan IPB. ...

Abstrak: Usaha kecil merupakan bagian integral dunia usaha nasional yang mempunyai kedudukan, potensi dan peranan yang sangat penting dan strategis. Selama krisis ekonomi saat ini laju perekonomian Indonesia digerakkan oleh sektor industri kecil dan pertanian. Hal ini disebabkan industri kecil sifatnya sangat adaptif dan fleksibel dalam menghadapi situasi krisis ekonomi saat ini, sementara kondisi sebaliknya terjadi pada industri besar dan menengah yang selama ini menjadi tumpuan utama perekonomian Indonesia, banyak yang terpuruk.

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
