Judul: Evaluasi Kepuasan Peserta Seminar Berdasarkan Kualitas Kegiatan (Studi Kasus Seminar Nasional Oleh FEM IPB).
Abstrak: Kepuasan peserta dapat dimaknai sebagai tanggapan konsumen atas penilaian suatu kegiatan atau pelayanan. Penelitian ini membahas tentang kepuasan peserta pada Seminar Nasional di IPB berdasarkan kualitas kegiatan seminar (persiapan, penyelenggaraan) dengan landasan metode Kirkpatrick. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk (1) mengidentifikasi detail kegiatan seminar nasional, dan (2) menganalisis tingkat kepentingan dan kinerja seminar sebagai rekomendasi untuk pengembangan persiapan dan penyelenggaraan seminar di FEM IPB. Data penelitian dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif, Crosstab dan Chi-Square, serta IPA-CSI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peserta kegiatan seminar merasa puas dengan kualitas kegiatan yang diberikan, namun penyelenggara seminar perlu memerhatikan fasilitas konsumsi dan interaksi pembicara dengan audiens.

Judul: Kajian faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kepuasan mahasiswa dalam pelaksanaan pendidikan di Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: University as one of the educational service organization now experiencing fundamental alterations which are not merely caused by developments of science, technology, and art but also by public expectations toward the role of college i initiataing the future. To fulfill it the university must continuously increase the efforts to obtain the public trust through inceasing in quality assurance, quality control, and quality improvement to meet the need of the alterations. For those purposes, university has to evaluate the quality of its educational services. Evaluation on service quality make us knowledgeable what is actually expected by student and their perception in received service qualilty. This means that university have to attract student candidate asa service user and also maintain confidence through creating student satisfaction, and give alternative recommendation strategy whch can be useful for IPB improvement and expansion. To measure the student satisfaction, this research applies IPA and CSI methods, while to analyze student’ satisfaction of service attributes which related with confidence and performance of students, using SEM purposed to look for the biggest factor that influence most. Based on the analysis, this research found that assurance and reability influence positively toward satisfaction. In addition, satisfaction influenced positively toward confidence. Furthermore, based on IPA the reserach found that the most important factor needs improvement is the attitude of the administration staffs in serving (Diploma Program); the convenience of the room used, facilities, and cleanliness, accuracy of grade information (GPA), campus security, resposiveness of the administration staffs to handle complains, retest in due time (Undergraduated Program); convenience of the room, facilities, cleanliness, and bathroom cleanliness, accuracy in providing schedule, resposiveness of the administration staffs to handle complains (Postgraduated Program).

Judul: Mathematical model of Hematopoietic Stem Cell in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia with and without Therapy
Abstrak: Leukemia or blood cancer is a diverse group of neoplastic disease, characterized by the multiplication of abnormal leukocytes or malignant transformation of blood-forming cells in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. One of the most common types of leukemia is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), which is usually diagnosed by the presence of certain chromosomal abnormalities, the so-called Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). One of the treatments of CML is Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). In this paper, we discuss two Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) models, i.e. HSC without treatment and HSC with G-CSF treatment. The model of HSC without treatment included three equations representing the dynamics of HSC, leukocyte and platelet. Whereas, the model of HSC with G-CSF treatment includes the previous three equations and adds two more equations representing G-CSF injection and G-CSF circulation. The stability behavior of the system approaching the equilibrium points in the simulation study is carried out using Mathematica 7.0. The simulation results show that the G-CSF treatment can successfully decrease the number of HSC, which means reducing the CML.
