Judul: Analisis Rencana Bisnis Pendirian Perusahaan Pengemasan Teh Rosella
Abstrak: Berbagai macam teh dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pangan maupun bahan obat. Salah satu tanaman yang dapat dijadikan bahan obat dan dihidangkan yaitu tanaman Rosella yang dalam bahasa latin dinamakan Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Tanaman Rosella memberikan banyak manfaat di bidang kesehatan Data resmi dari Badan Pusat Statistik mengenai data produksi dan permintaan Rosella di Indonesia hingga saat ini belum ada, namun menurut Rahmawati (2012) ada beberapa potret budidaya dan profil sukses bisnis Rosella di berbagai daerah. Profil sukses bisnis Rosella menurut Rahmawati (2012), hingga tahun 2012 ada 16 orang yang mulai mengembangkan bisnis Rosella. Rata-rata omset dari setiap bisnis Rosella tersebut bisa mencapai Rp. 30.000.000,00 (tiga puluh juta rupiah) per bulan. Mengetahui potensi yang begitu banyak mengenai tanaman Rosella ini, maka timbulah ide untuk mendirikan sebuah perusahaan teh Rosella dalam kemasan. Sebelum mendirikan dan menjalankan suatu usaha maka diperlukan sebuah rencana bisnis agar kegiatan bisnis yang akan dilaksanakan maupun sedang berjalan tetap berada di jalur yang benar sesuai dengan yang direncanakan Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) Menyusun rencana bisnis (business plan) dilihat dari aspek finansial dan aspek non finansial. (2) Menganalisis tingkat kepekaan terhadap perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi pada biaya dan permintaan. Berdasarkan analisis aspek non finansial yang terdiri dari rencana pemasaran, rencana teknis dan teknologi, serta rencana manajemen dan organisasi pengembangan usaha pengemasan teh Rosella ini layak untuk dijalankan. Sedangkan hasil analisis rencana keuangan menunjukan usaha ini layak dimana nilai NPV positif yaitu Rp. 13.501.779,-, nilai IRR 61,94% dimana nilai ini lebih besar dari suku bunga deposito yang digunakan yaitu 6,5%, Net B/C 1,08 dan PP 2,6 tahun. Hasil dari analisis sensitifitas terhadap kenaikan harga bahan baku dan penurunan permintaan, usaha ini sensitif pada kenaikan bahan baku sebesar 43% dan penurunan permintaan sebesar 8%.

Judul: Perancangan Model Bisnis Produk Minuman Rosella dengan Lidah Buaya (Studi Kasus UMKM B&G Group Bogor).
Abstrak: B&G Group Bogor is a small and medium business unit which was established in the early of 2015. Business unit B&G Group Bogor produced rosella beverages with Aloe vera as an alternative for completing people’s needs of vitamins and fibers. The aim of this research is to obtain the best business model in developing rosella beverage product with Aloe vera. Business Model Canvas is a suitable method in order to gain market share from the product. There are several steps to develop the market, starting with hypotheses development, problem testing, solution testing and verification. The problem testing showed that 58 % of respondents admitted to not do regular exercise and 78 % of respondents thought they needed more vitamins and fibers. The presence of rosella beverage product with Aloe vera was considered good to meet the needs of vitamin and fiber consumption. This Aloe vera with rosella beverages segmentation was men and women at productive age (15 – 64 years old), from middle to upper class society. This product was desired by people who wanted additional vitamins as antioxidant from rosella and fiber from Aloe vera which contained in the product. Primary respondents aspired the product to be available in small stores and minimarket or supermarket based on respondents’ ease of access to get the product.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
