Judul: Evaluasi Pelatihan International Shortcourse on Management of Indonesian Small Scale and Medium Enterprise (MISSME) pada Departemen Manajemen IPB.
Abstrak: Permasalahan UMKM saat ini lebih banyak disebabkan oleh sumber daya manusia yang kurang profesional sehingga menghambat produktivitas UMKM yang ada di Indonesia. Sebagai role akademisi yang bertugas memberi pendidikan, departemen manajemen membuat suatu program pelatihan yang berfokus pada penciptaan nilai UMKM dari segala aspek. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk 1) Mengevaluasi pelatihan International Shortcourse on Management of Indonesian Small Scale and Medium Enterprise (MISSME) pada level reaksi, 2) Mengevaluasi pelatihan International Shortcourse on Management of Indonesian Small Scale and Medium Enterprise (MISSME) pada level pembelajaran, 3) Merumuskan implikasi manajerial dari hasil evaluasi pelatihan menggunakan Force Field Analysis. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer dan sekunder. Analisis Deskriptif, Kirkpatrick Model dan Force Field Analysis adalah metode analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan para peserta merasa sangat puas pada pelatihan dan menunjukkan peningkatan kemampuan dalam menyerap ilmu-ilmu yang telah diberikan.

Judul: The Effectiveness Of Corporate Management Training Program On Business Owner Of Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprises Partner Of Dharma Bhakti Astra Foundation
Abstrak: MSMEs have an important role and strategic in national economic development. The presence of MSMEs can increase workforce absorption, encourage economic growth and distribution of development results. MSME has proofed itself for not affected by the crisis. During crisis affected during 1997-1998, only MSME that can withstand. The fast growing development of MSME in Indonesia has encouraged many people to build their own business. To build a business that can compete and sustain on the market, it is necessary to have skills or good understanding from the entrepeneur such as financial, human resources, marketing, and the product itself. In managing SMEs, skills and knowledge are required by the owner to be able to run the business properly, which can be acquired through corporate management training program. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of corporate management training program by seeing the competencies and performances of business owners after participating in training and creating an effective strategy to increase performance through corporate management training program. The sample collection method in this study is census sampling from 30 respondents who participated in a management training program. Collected data is analyzed using Descriptive Analysis, Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) SmartPLS 2.0 program for all variables and also Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The result of the findings show that training influenced competency significantly, training influenced performance significantly, and competency influenced performance significantly. Aside from that, an alternative strategy that becomes a priority is to adjust the training topic specifically according to business owner. This study will be useful for institutions or training organizers for SMEs in the future., UMKM memegang peranan penting dan strategis dalam pembangunan ekonomai nasional. Keberadaan UMKM dapat menambah penyerapan tenaga kerja, mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi, dan distribusi hasil pembangunan. UMKM juga telah terbukti tidak berpengaruh terhadap krisis. Ketika krisis menerpa pada periode tahun 1997-1998, hanya UMKM yang mampu berdiri kokoh. Perkembangan UMKM yang semakin pesat di Indonesia ini membuat banyak masyarakat untuk ikut membuat usahanya sendiri. Untuk membangun usaha yang dapat bersaing dan bertahan dalam pasar, tentu diperlukan kecakapan atau pemahaman yang baik dari pelaku usaha tersebut seperti keuangan, manajemen sumber daya manusia, pemasaran, hingga produk. Dalam mengelola UMKM, diperlukan kemampuan dan pengetahuan dari pemilik usaha agar dapat menjalankan usaha tersebut dengan baik dan benar yang bisa didapat dari pelatihan manajemen perusahaan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa efektifitas pelatihan manajemen perusahaan dengan melihat kompetensi dan kinerja pelaku usaha setelah mengikuti pelatihan serta membuat strategi efektif untuk meningkatkan kinerja melalui program pelatihan manajemen perusahaan. Metode pengumpulan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah sampling sensus yaitu seluruh peserta yang telah mengikuti pelatihan manajemen perusahaan yang berjumlah 30 responden. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Deskriptif, Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) Smart PLS 2.0 untuk semua variabel serta Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh signifikan antara pelatihan terhadap kompetensi, pelatihan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja, serta kompetensi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja. Selain itu, alternatif strategi yang menjadi prioritas utama adalah menyesuaikan spesifikasi materi pelatihan sesuai dengan kebutuhan pelaku usaha. Studi ini berguna untuk institusi atau penyelenggara

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
