Judul: Analisis Efektivitas Kebijakan Subsidi Pupuk dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Produksi Padi (Studi Kasus : Kabupaten Bogor)
Abstrak: Pertanian merupakan aspek penting dalam mendukung keberlangsungan hidup suatu negara. Indonesia sebagai negara agraris, menempatkan pertanian sebagai sektor utama dalam perekonomian nasional. Selain itu, pertanian sebagai aspek pendukung ketersedian pangan di suatu negara. Oleh karena itu, terdapat berbagai kebijakan pemerintah yang mendukung produksi sektor pertanian. Salah satu kebijakan ini adalah kebijakan subsidi pupuk. Kebijakan subsidi pupuk merupakan salah satu kebijakan fiskal yang bertujuan untuk mendukung sektor pertanian dengan memberikan subsidi input berupa penetapan HET pupuk. Kebijakan ini dilaksanakan berdasarkan enam indikator keberhasilan yaitu tepat jenis, jumlah, harga, mutu, tempat, dan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas kebijakan subsidi pupuk untuk mendukung produksi padi dengan mengambil studi kasus pada Kabupaten Bogor. Metode pengambilan contoh menggunakan purposive sampling dimana pemilihan responden berdasarkan pertimbangan peneliti. Sampel penelitian ini yaitu dua kecamatan dan masing-masing kecamatan dipilih dua desa. Dari desa ini dipilih lagi masing-masing 30 responden yang diharapkan dapat mewakili populasi yang ada. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif, serta metode regresi linier berganda. Metode deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif digunakan untuk mengukur efektivitas kebijakan subsidi pupuk dengan menggunakan empat indikator utama yaitu tepat harga, tepat tempat, tepat waktu, dan tepat jumlah. Metode regresi linier berganda digunakan untuk mengukur respon permintaan pupuk urea terhadap faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi yaitu harga urea, harga TSP, harga padi, dan luas lahan, serta respon produksi padi terhadap faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya yaitu luas lahan, tenaga kerja, benih, pupuk, dummy benih, dan dummy efektivitas harga.

Judul: Analisis Efektivitas Subsidi Pupuk dan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Produksi Padi (Studi Kasus Desa Hambaro, Kecamatan Nanggung, Kabupaten Bogor)
Abstrak: Agriculture is an important aspect in favor fora country survival. Indonesia, as an agricultural country places the agriculture as the dominant sector in the national economy. Therefore, there are various government policies that support the production of the agricultural sector. One of those policies is the fertilizer subsidy policy. The fertilizer subsidy policy is fiscal policy which aims to support the agricultural sector by providing the input in subsidies setting HET fertilizer form. This policy is implemented based on six indicators of the success; the right type, quantity, price, quality, place, and time. The purpose of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of the fertilizer subsidy policy and to determine the factors that affect the production of rice. Observations and interviews in the rice-producing regions had done in the Hambaro-Bogor village which were taken through purposive sampling method. Analytical method used is descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods, and multiple linear regression methods. The results show that the effectiveness of the fertilizer subsidy policy isbased on four indicators, those are names, right place, right price, and punctuality. However, the right amount of fertilizer subsidy policy approves thatit is still not categorized as effective yet. The ineffectiveness of the subsidy of fertilizer effect on rice production turns out as shown on the results of the regression. Variable rates of fertilizer urea have a negative and significant effect on the demand for urea fertilizer. It means that if the urea fertilizer prices increased,the demand for urea fertilizer would be lower. In addition, variable price of rice and land area have a positive and significant impact on the demand for urea fertilizer. Variable amount of price of urea, price of npk, labor, land area of seed and dummy has a positive and significant impact on the production of rice. In other words, the event of changes toward these factors will have an effect on the production of rice.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
