Judul: Pengaruh Independensi Bank Sentral terhadap Inflasi: Peran Financial Development dan Kualitas Kelembagaan di ASEAN-5
Abstrak: Bank sentral bertanggung jawab atas stabilitas harga yang dapat dicapai dengan mengendalikan laju inflasi. Rendah atau tingginya laju inflasi dapat ditentukan oleh independensi bank sentral. Independensi bank sentral sendiri dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, diantaranya financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan. Rata-rata inflasi di ASEAN-5 masih bervariasi, hal ini disebabkan oleh negara dengan inflasi yang rendah dan stabil memiliki financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan yang tinggi dibandingkan negara dengan financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan yang rendah. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh financial development dan kualitas kelembagaan terhadap independensi bank sentral untuk mencapai inflasi yang rendah dan stabil. Metode yang digunakan merupakan dua metode alternatif, yaitu G2SLS dan EC2SLS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kualitas kelembagaan signifikan berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap independensi bank sentral namun tidak secara langsung terhadap inflasi.

Judul: Dampak Keterbukaan Ekonomi terhadap Stabilitas Inflasi di Negara-negara ASEAN+6
Abstrak: Trade and financial openness, which are expected to improve the welfare of society, in principle does not only affect the output but also the price. This occurs because of the trade-off between economic growth and inflation. Some countries adopted Inflation Targeting Framework (ITF) policy to stabilize inflation, while others adopted exchange rate targeting or money targeting. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of openness, both trade and financial openness, on inflation stability in ASEAN+6 countries. By employing panel data analysis of the eleven countries in 2001-2010, this study found that trade openness worsens inflation stability, while financial openness increases inflation stability. The negative impact of trade openness is particularly accurs in ITF countries. The positive impact of financial openness occurs in a non-ITF countries, whereas the opposite accurs for the ITF countries. The positive impact of financial openness on inflation stability in developing countries is greater than the developed countries.

Judul: Penyusunan Overlap Graph menggunakan Suffix Tree pada DNA Sequence
Abstrak: The DNA sequence assembly is very important in genome analysis. This step aims to reconstruct contigous DNA fragment (contigs) from short fragment by concatenating fragments based on the overlap region among them. This method employs overlap graph for solving the problems. In this graph, nodes represent fragments and edges represent overlap. This research developed a software for constructing overlap graph using suffix tree. The evaluation was conducted by measuring the number of nodes, number of edges, and the execution time in many values of minimum overlap. The minimum overlap is defined as the minimum length of substring which is considered as the overlap region between two fragments. The evaluation results showed that the number of nodes, the number of edges, and the execution time were increased with the decreasing of the minimum overlap value.
