Judul: Factors Influencing Consumer Purchase Decisions for  Halal-Labeled Coffee shops
Abstrak: Usaha coffee shop di Kota Bekasi berkembang pesat namun belum semua usaha tersebut memiliki label halal. Adanya inovasi menu yang ditawarkan untuk menciptakan keunggulan dari coffee shop lainnya berupa rum kopi yang masih diragukan kehalalannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi karakteristik dan pengetahuan konsumen coffee shop di Kota Bekasi serta menganalisis faktor faktor yang memengaruhi konsumen dalam membeli produk coffee shop berlabel halal di Kota Bekasi. Sampel penelitian diperoleh melalui pengisian kuesioner secara online dengan jumlah 100 responden yang berdomisili di Kota Bekasi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel pengetahuan halal dan religiusitas berpengaruh positif signifikan serta brand image berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian pada coffee shop berlabel halal MUI di Kota Bekasi., The coffee shop business in Bekasi City is growing very rapidly but not all of these businesses have a halal label. There are menu innovations that are offered to create advantages from other coffee shops in the form of rum coffee which is still in doubt about its halalness. This study aims to identify the characteristics and knowledge of coffee shop consumers in Bekasi City and analyze the factors that influence consumers in buying coffee shop products labeled halal in Bekasi City. The research sample was obtained through filling out an online questionnaire with a total of 100 respondents who live in Bekasi City. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis and logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the variables of halal knowledge, religiosity had a significant positive and brand image had a significant negative effect on purchasing decisions at a coffee shop labeled halal MUI in Bekasi City.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
