Judul: Poverty Distribution Analysis and The Factors Causing Poverty in Lebak Regency
Abstrak: The problem of this study comes from the current issues related to the poverty, unemployment, inadequate quality of public services and the gap between regions due to the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy. Structural imbalance is one of the major factors which influence the gap between the province and the new districts due to the economic activity which rely on specific areas such as the primary sector and the traditional agriculture; the effect of resource limitations on the rates of unemployment and poverty; the impact of minimum access to health facilities and education on human development index; the impact of insufficient infrastructure due to insufficient budgetary allocation on the quality of infrastructure. Some important efforts are undertaken to raise the economic growth rate which in turn to improve the welfare and the economy. The study aims to ( 1) analyze the pattern of spatial distribution of poverty in Lebak, (2) analyze the causes of poverty in Lebak, and (3) analyze the local government policies for poverty alleviation. Spatial Autocorrelation (Moran and Geary Indexs), descriptive of visualspatial analysis, spatial regression, and descriptive analysis are undertaken. The results shows that the population poverty distribution and the poverty density tend to form clustered patterns (poverty pockets); and the poverty in village, number of productive couples, distance to population concentrations, number of farmers, distance to vocational education facilities, distance to the market, distance to the industry areas as well as the distance to the areas of concentration and topography. Based from the visual spatial analysis, that shows the government program to decreased of the pockets of poverty to the local communities not to through the regional policies, with the priority of the government policy are the second ones (J3 K3, J3 K4, J4 K3). While for the population poverty distribution and the poverty density has been to priority of the government in Lebak Regency.

Judul: Pelayanan publik, kualitas sumberdaya manusia dan disparitas pembangunan wilayah
Abstrak: Decentralized regional development becomes a trend and has been transformed as an angel messenger of change, in Indonesia more familiar referred to regional autonomy. Over a decade since 1999, regional autonomy was conducted, it’s began to arise many questions, one of the most striking is that, did regional autonomy success to improve the welfare of society and capable to facilitate the distribution of development? This question was not arising without cause or reason, because the physical laws of cause and effect would apply in real life wherever it is. Counter productive regional autonomy is the basis of the initial formation of research hypotheses that will further see how the actual process of public services by local governments, in this case the District Government of Lebak. The studied public service under study is slightly investigating the impact on the quality of human resources. The ultimate impact was how to influence the quality of human resources resulted from public service to the economic structure and level of disparity. Public service provided by Lebak regency will try to be analyzed with IPA and further linkages will be seen the influence of public services towards the quality of human resources using multiple linear regression analysis. As for the influence of the quality of human resources towards the economic structure and level of disparity will be used descriptive analysis, LQ, Typology Klassen, IKM, Williamson index and multiple linear regression analysis. The result of this study provided information that the public service in Lebak regency still below the minimal standard of service and the public was not satisfied with the provided services. Public services significantly impair the quality of human resources. The impact was the quality human resources were still below the average of Banten province, where the number of Lebak HDI in 2008 was 67.10. With the condition of human resources, the Lebak GDP was still not evenly, the income per capita only reached number 5.000.000. in addition, Lebak still rely on agricultural commodities as the support of key development sectors as well as a distribution base which provides for 35.4 percent of GDP. Klassen Typology Based on the analysis, nearly 90 percent of Lebak region belong to the disadvantaged areas that have growth and low incomes. HPI Analysis showed that the number of poor people in Lebak was still relatively high, 12.5 percent. Low HDI also contributed to high rates of disparity, which was equal to 0.69. Linkages occur that the low quality of human resources is causing high rates of disparity. The poor public services made low quality of human resources. The low quality of human resources was causing high rates of regional development disparities.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
