Judul: Faktor-faktor yang Mempengaruhi Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja di Indonesia
Abstrak: The goal of economic development in individual countries, both developed and developing countries. Employment is one of the economic resources, the expansion of employment would create an economic development. This study aims to 1) analyze the conditions of employment in Indonesia, and 2) to analyze the factors affecting employment in Indonesia, using panel data on 33 provinces in Indonesia in 2008 and 2011. The independent variables used are the regional gross domestic product (GDP), real wages, and investment. While the dependent variable used is the number of people working. Results of this study indicate that the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP), Real Wage and Investment has a significant influence and positively related to employment

Judul: The analysis of factors affecting employment of industries sector in east java province 2001-2011
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Provinsi JawaTimur dengan menggunakan data panel 37 kabupaten di Jawa Timur dari tahun 2001-2011. Variabel bebas yang digunakan adalah Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) riil sektor industri, Upah minimum Kabupaten (UMK), dan jumlah industri di setiap kabupaten yang dianalisis. Sedangkan variabel terikat adalah jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi berganda data panel dengan Fix Effect Model (FEM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa UMK dan jumlah industri berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Jawa Timur, sedangkan PDRB riil sektor industri tidak berpengaruh signifikan. UMK berhubungan negatif dengan jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri, sedangkan jumlah unit industri berhubungan positif., The aim of this reasearch is to anlyze the factors affecting Employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province using panel data from 37 regencies in east java from 2001 to 2011. The independent variable used the real Regional Gross Domectic Product (GDP) of industries sector, minimum wages, and the total of industries in east java. The employment of industries sector were used as dependent variable. The methode used descriptive analysis and regression of panel data using Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The result indicate that minimum wage and the total of industries influence the employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province significantly, while the real regional GDP of industries sector unsignificantly. Minimum wage has negatif relation and the total of industries has positive relation to dependent variable.

Judul: Sintesis Flavonol melalui 2’-Hidroksikalkon
Abstrak: Flavonol is a class of flavonoids commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Flavonol is very useful, especially in food sector and health. In this study, flavonol unsubstituted was successfully synthesized from an intermediate material 2’-hydroxychalcone. The 2’-hydroxychalcone was synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation method between o-hydroxyacetophenone and benzaldehyde using 4 different catalysts, namely KOH 60%, solid pellet of KOH-grinding technique, BF3-Et2O, and NaH in DMF. The KOH 60% was the best catalyst, giving the highest yield (57%). Afterward, the flavonol was synthesized in 1-stage oxidation cyclization of o-hydroxyacetophenone using Algar-Flynn-Oyamada (AFO) reaction, giving 76%. The flavonol total yield from 2’-hydroxychalcone was 43%. All synthesized products were characterized by their melting points and their spectra. The success of the synthesis flavonol opens the way to synthesis of useful flavonol derivatives such as quercetin and kaempferol.
