Judul: Exchange Rate Pass-Through Untuk Harga Domestik: Kasus Indonesia
Abstrak: Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan model VECM data bulanan dari Januari 2004 sampai dengan Desember 2013. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1. Pergerakan Exchange Rate memiliki efek moderat pada inflasi harga domestik 2. Exchange Rate Pass-through lebih parah terjadi di PPI dibandingkan dengan CPI karena pangsa yang lebih tinggi diperdagangkan di PPI relatif terhadap CPI 3. Dampak Pass-through pada harga domestik menyebar lebih dari 12 bulan, namun efeknya akan lebih parah dalam tiga bulan pertama untuk PPI dan setelah empat bulan pertama untuk CPI seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh koefisien Pass-through 4. Pertukaran Pass-through untuk harga konsumen semakin meningkat setelah fenomena Dinamika Sistem Keuangan Global pada bulan Maret 2009 dimana terjadi depresiasi Rupiah. Exchange Rate Pass-through yang rendah untuk harga domestik, memiliki implikasi bagi pelaksanaan kebijakan moneter, yaitu memberikan kebebasan yang lebih besar untuk mengejar kebijakan moneter yang independen khususnya melalui penargetan inflasi rezim.

Judul: Analisis Exchange rate pass-through terhadap Harga Domestik: Studi Di ASEAN-3, Jepang, dan Korea Selatan Periode 2010-2013
Abstrak: This research is aimed to analyze the ability of exchange rate in transmitting inflationary pressure from the outside country towards the economy of Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. The research is divided into two parts; the first part views the effects of foreign price shock towards the domestic exchange rate and the second part views the effects of exchange rate shock towards the domestic price. The difference of this research with other research is that this research uses the model with three different types of ordering to examine the robustness from the empiric result. Based on the result of the research, it is viewed that the contribution effects of the import price shock and the exchange rate shock towards the domestic economy are different in every countries. While the effects of import price shock cause the appreciation of the exchange rate and the exchange rate shock cause the deflation in those countries. The empiric results are robust as the three types of models are not indicated to the significant changes toward the ordering changes.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
