Judul: Analisis Dayasaing dan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Permintaan Ekspor Komoditas Unggulan Perkebunan Indonesia di Uni Eropa.
Abstrak: Dayasaing ekspor komoditas merupakan salah satu indikator yang digunakan untuk mengukur kinerja perdagangan suatu negara. Penelitian ini menganalisis dayasaing ekspor tiga komoditas unggulan perkebunan Indonesia yaitu kelapa sawit, karet, dan kelapa (kopra) terhadap enam negara di kawasan Uni Eropa antara lain Jerman, Spanyol, Yunani, Italia, Belanda, dan Romania dengan melihat keunggulan komparatif dan dinamika ekspor beserta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Periode analisis dari tahun 2010 sampai 2015 dengan metode Releaved Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamics (EPD), dan Gravity Model dengan menggunakan pendekatan regresi panel data melalui E-views 8. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa komoditas unggulan perkebunan Indonesia memiliki keunggulan komparatif dan berdayasaing kuat. Adapun faktorfaktor yang memengaruhi permintaan ekspor adalah jarak ekonomi, GDP riil per kapita negara tujuan, harga ekspor, Real Exchange Rate (RER), dan trade openness dengan hasil yang berbeda-beda pada tiap komoditas.

Judul: Identifikasi, analisis daya saing, dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi aliran perdagangan komoditi unggulan ekspor Indonesia ke Uni Eropa
Abstrak: The aims of this study are to identify the Indonesia’s main export commodities to the European Union, the level of competitiveness and the degree of integration, and also to determine the trade flow of Indonesia’s main export commodities to the European Union. This study use the sorting method to know the highest export value during the year 2009 as Indonesia's main export commodity to the European Union. Further analysis using the Revealed Comparative Advantage index, Intra-Industry Trade index and gravity model to answer the research objectives. The results showed that Indonesia's main export commodities to the European Union market has a highly competitive and high level of integration. In the aggregate, Indonesia's main export commodities to the European Union market, showed that the flow trade significantly affected by the export of these commodities in the previous year, while the other factors as Indonesia's real GDP (Gross Domestic Product), real GDP of export’s destination countries, GDP per capita of the export’s destination country, real exchange rate of rupiah against the currencies of export’s destination countries, and economic distance has a different level of significance in each commodity.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
