Abstrak: Bureaucratic reforms undertaken by the Ministry of Finance has implications for several changes, including the use of the principles of Good Corporate Governance. One of the efforts made by the ministry to use the principles of Good Corporate Governance is implemented Key Performance Indikators program. The purpose of the application of KPI is to measure performance in the Ministry of Finance. Budget and Treasury Training Center is one of the institutions that are units of the Ministry of Finance with the achievement of KPI that has not been fully achieved at 100% in 2011. The purpose of this study was: (1) Identify employee perceptions of the competency in Budget and Treasury Training Center, (2) identify employee perceptions of the performance in Budget and Treasury Training Center, (3) analyze the effect of competency on employee performance in Budget and Treasury Training Center, (4) Formulating strategic initiative to enhancing performance through employee competency in Budget and Treasury Training Center. Based on the results of processing using SmartPLS, identified that competence is influenced by self concept (0,59), motivation (0,25), personal characteristics (0,16) and knowledge (0,10), while the performance is reflected by the internal faktors of employees (0,86), organization's internal environment (0,83) and external environment (0,32). The self concept had the highest impact on employee competencies and internal factors of employees is the biggest reflection of employee performance.

Based on the results of treatment using Eisenhower matrix, in quadrant 1 (urgent and important) that need to be done by the Budget and Treasury Training Center is increased confidence and responsibility of employees as part of an effort to improve performance through competency. The results can be achieved by increasing employee responsibility in completing tasks and increase employee skills to solve and resolve the problem.

Judul: Extraction and Characteristic of Collagen and Nanoparticle Collagen from the Skin of Stingray Fish (Pastinachus solocirostris) as Ingredient of Cosmetics.
Abstrak: Isolation of collagen from the skin of stingray fish (Pastinachus solocirostris) has been successfully conducted with three stages: first soaked in 0.05 M NaOH with a sample/solution ratio of 1:10 (w/v) for 6 hour, second soaked in 0.1 M acetic acid with a sample/solution ratio of 1:6 (w/v) for 2 hour, and third extraction with destilated water at temperature 40 C for 2 hour with a yield of 14.475 % (wet base). Nanoparticle collagen was made with desolvation method using etanol as a desolvating agent with a collagen solution/etanol ratio of 1:1. Yield of nanoparticle collagen was 9.64% (wet base) with particle size of 185.24 nm. Collagen and nanoparticle collagen is in the form of white powder with whiteness degree 72.48% and 60.03%, respectively. Protein is the major component in collagen and nanoparticle collagen (86.97% and 86.18%) with trace amount of ash (0.17% and 0.13%) and fat (0.19% and 0.25%), respectively. Based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns, amino acid composition, and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of both collagen and nanoparticle collagen were characterized as type I collagens. Nanostructural analysis of collagen and nanoparticle collagen by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows that both were separate aggregates. Other characteristics of collagen and nanoparticle collagen were: Tmax of 165.88 C and 156.63 C; Viscosity 292.33 cP dan 110 cP; pH 5.00 dan 4.93; respectively. Collagen has highest solubility at pH 7 and the isoelectric point at pH 6, 9, and 10. Therefore, nanoparticle collagen has highest solubility at pH 3 dan and the isoelectric point at pH 6. Collagen and nanoparticle collagen from skin of stingray fish (Pastinachus solocirostris) has a characteristic for a potential use as a cosmetic ingredient.
