Judul: Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Awareness Produk Makanan Instan Impor Berlabel Halal Bagi Mahasiswa S1 IPB
Abstrak: Populasi muslim dunia meningkat setiap tahunnya. Indonesia dengan populasi penduduk muslim terbesar menjadikannya memiliki potensi pangsa pasar halal terbesar. Selain itu, Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara berkembang yang menganut sistem perekonomian terbuka, maka melakukan ekspor dan impor produk. Salah satu konsumennya adalah mahasiswa program sarjana (S1) IPB yang merupakan universitas lima besar terbaik di Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi awereness produk makanan instan impor berlabel halal bagi mahasiswa S1 IPB. Teknik pengambilan contoh pada penelitian ini menggunakan purposive sampling dengan responden 68 orang. Metode pengolahan dan analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan analisis Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi awareness pada produk makanan instan impor halal secara keseluruhan adalah halal certification, health reason, dan religious belief dengan tingkat awareness termasuk pada kategori cukup/moderat.

Judul: Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Awareness pada Produk Pangan Halal di Wilayah Bogor
Abstrak: Mayoritas penduduk Indonesia adalah pemeluk agama Islam, maka dari itu pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan halal menjadi potensi besar bagi pasar nasional maupun global. Pangan halal mencerminkan mutu, kebersihan, dan kesehatan suatu produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh halal exposure, religious belief, health reason dan role of halal certification pada kesadaran halal produk pangan. Penelitian yang akan dilakukan di Kota dan Kabupaten Bogor menggunakan metode non probability sampling dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan 200 responden, serta pengolahan data menggunakan Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) dengan bantuan aplikasi Smart-PLS 3.0. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan faktor halal awareness pada masyarakat kota, kabupaten maupun wilayah Bogor namun ketiganya memiliki tingkat halal awareness yang tinggi.

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.
