Judul: Spatial Regression Approach in Determining Factors Affecting Percentage of Human Trafficking Victims inWest Java.
Abstrak: The spatial dimension plays a key role in many social phenomenons such as poverty, pollution, disease, crime and others. Social phenomenon in certain areas is influenced by the social phenomenon in other locations. One of the interesting social phenomenons that will be studied in this research is human trafficking in West Java. The aims of this study are to identify the spatial effects on percentage of human trafficking victims, and to determine the factors which affected percentage of human trafficking victims in West Java in 2010. The existence of spatial relationship information between district/municipality led to need to accommodate the spatial variability in the model, so that the model used were spatial regression models. Based on the analysis, spatial effect influential significantly the percentage of human trafficking victims. The hotspot for human trafficking victims were Cimahi Municipality, Bandung Municipality and Bandung District. The best model to accommodate spatial effect in this study was General Spatial Model (GSM) with AIC-value=-361.46 and R2a=71.34%. Based on GSM obtained the indepen-dent variables or factors which significantly affected percentage of human trafficking victims in West Java in 2010 for α=0.05 as follows: the average of population with divorce status, the average of population with local migrant status, and the average of population with maximum education in Junior High School.

Judul: Penentuan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Angka Partisipasi Sekolah dengan Pendekatan Regresi Spasial (Studi Kasus: 26 Kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat Tahun 2011)
Abstrak: West Java is a province with the largest population in Indonesia which 5.23% of its are high school-age, has a great responsibility to promote education in the region. One of the indicators used to assess educational progress is the School Participation Rate (SPR). The SPR has a spatial effect across the region, so that the method used in this study is Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The purpose of this study was to determine the variables which affect the SPR in West Java Province for 2011. The research’s result show that the variables that affect the SPR in West Java Province year 2011 are the ratio of sum of teachers to school-age population (%) and the percentage of poverty. High living cost in the western part of West Java Province led to unequal number of poverty in this province. This problem can affect the SPR so that the percentage of poverty need to be considered to increase the SPR in this region. In the eastern part of West Java Province, the access teacher’s education facilities in this area are difficult, it led to unequal, so that teacher’s education facilities need to be considered to increase the SPR in this region.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
