Judul: Faktor - Faktor yang Memengaruhi Minat Pembelian Masyarakat Non Muslim terhadap Restoran Bersertifikat Halal di Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Konsumen produk halal berasal dari kalangan Muslim, tetapi dari kalangan Non Muslim yang juga menikmati keunggulan restoran yang sudah bersertifikat halal sebagai restoran yang menyajikan produk berkualitas dan aman dikonsumsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi persepsi masyarakat Non Muslim Kota Bogor terhadap restoran bersertifikat halal dan menganalisis faktor–faktor yang memengaruhi minat pembelian masyarakat non Muslim Kota Bogor terhadap restoran bersertifikat halal. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode analisis data deskriptif dan regresi linier berganda. Hasil dari analisis regresi linier berganda menunjukan bahwa variabel pengetahuan, pelayanan, dan promosi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap minat pembelian responden., The consumers of halal products come from Muslims, but there are also Non-Muslim who are aware of the certified halal restaurant's advantages as they serve high and safe quality products for consumption. This study aims to identify the perception of the non-Muslim community of Bogor City towards halal-certified restaurants and to analyze the factors that influence the purchasing intention of the non-Muslim community of Bogor towards halal-certified restaurants. The analysis method used in this research is descriptive data analysis method and multiple linear regression. The multiple linear regression analysis results show that the variables of knowledge, service, and promotion have a significant effect on the respondents' purchasing interest.

Judul: Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Minat Beli pada Produk Makanan Olahan Halal (Studi Kasus di Kota/Kabupaten Bogor).
Abstrak: Indonesia adalah salah satu negara dengan populasi Muslim terbesar di dunia. Hal ini menyebabkan meningkatnya permintaan produk halal di Indonesia. Kesadaran untuk mengkonsumsi produk halal menjadi potensi pasar yang besar bagi produsen untuk memproduksi produk halal mereka. Saat ini, halal tidak hanya murni soal agama, tapi juga soal bisnis dan perdagangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi minat pelanggan dalam membeli pada makanan olahan halal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling dengan 109 responden yang merupakan pelanggan supermarket dan minimarket di Kota/Kabupaten Bogor, Indonesia. Sedangkan analisis data dilakukan dengan metode Structural Eqiation Modeling Partial Lease Square (SEM-PLS). Penelitian ini menggunakan citra merek, persepsi kualitas, persepsi nilai, sertifikasi halal, alasan kesehatan, kesadaran halal, dan pemasaran halal sebagai faktor yang mempengaruhi niat pembelian halal pelanggan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran halal, alasan kesehatan, dan persepsi nilai berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat beli. Pemasaran halal juga menunjukkan efek positif dan signifikan terhadap niat beli. Sedangkan pemasaran halal menunjukkan efek negatif dan signifikan terhadap niat beli. Keamanan pangan, sertifikasi halal, citra merek, dan kualitas yang dirasakan menunjukkan efek yang sama yang tidak berpengaruh langsung pada niat beli. Selanjutnya, keamanan pangan berpengaruh tidak langsung terhadap niat beli melalui alasan kesehatan. Sertifikasi halal memiliki efek tidak langsung terhadap niat beli melalui variabel citra merek. Sedangkan citra merek dan persepsi kualitas memiliki pengaruh tidak langsung melalui persepsi nilai variable terhadap minat beli.

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.
