Untuk itu dikaji profil Unit Pelaksana Teknis Badan Kepegawaian Daerah Provinsi Riau, proses berlangsungnya kegiatan pembelajaran berdasarkan kurikulum dan kompetensi tugas-tugas pokok, seberapa jauh kurikulum pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi PNS dapat memberikan perubahan PNS dalam kualitas layanan publik, serta perumusan rancangan program bagi Unit Pelaksana Teknis Badan Kepegawaian Daerah Provinsi Riau dalam rangka pengembangan kapasitas organisasi mengikuti perkembangan negara maupun masyarakat. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa UPT Diklat BKD Provinsi Riau telah melaksanakan tugas pokok dan fungsinya, namun demikian dalam kegiatan pelaksanaan pendidikan dan pelatihan tidak menempatkan kurikulum yang memuat materi muatan lokal dengan metodologi pemberdayaan masyarakat sesuai kebutuhan satuan-satuan kerja dalam upaya peningkatan pelayanan publik. Untuk itu diperlukan usaha peningkatan kapasitas aparatur pemerintah dalam peningkatkan pelayanan publik menggunakan metodologi pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pembentukan Tim yang mempunyai kemampuan dalam menganalisis kesesuaian pendidikan dan pelatihan, merekomendasikan bentuk-bentuk diklat dan pembinaan serta kemampuan melakukan monitoring dan mengevalusi hasil diklat.

Judul: Pemisahan Fraksi Kaya Sitronelal, Sitronelol, dan Geraniol Minyak Sereh Wangi Menggunakan Distilasi Fraksinasi Vakum
Abstrak: The main compounds of citronella oil are citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol, all of which determine the fragrance intensity and price of the citronella oil it self. Separation of those compounds increased the value of citronella oil. The aim of this research is to obtain the optimum amounts of citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol fractions by vacuum of fractional distillation technology. Conditioning process using 30:1 reflux ratio obtioned purer citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol than conditioning process with 10:1 reflux ratio. The separation process was held in 5 - 4 mBar vacuum pressure and the variation of reflux ratio 10:10, 20:10, 30:10. The optimum amounts of citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol was obtioned in the variation of reflux ratio 10:10, they are 90.670 % of 620 ml, 41.101 % of 160 ml, and 53.581 % of 500 ml respectively
