Judul: Copra marketing in inderagiri hilir a region analysis
Abstrak: Coconut production in Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir is similar to coconut production areas in other parts of Indonesia which is a multi-faceted enterprise. Product- ion is widely scattered throughout the district. However, new plantings are predominantly located in the frontier areas of the district. Farm sizes range from under one hectare to very large, well over 100 hectares. However, most of the farms are family sized units, with approximately 70 percent of the farms being from two to ten hectares in size. These farms occupy about 60 percent of the coconut hectarage in Indragiri Hilir. Productivity varies greatly according to the various management practices used. Fertilizer is rarely practiced except at the time of planting of the coconut seed. Some farmers also use vitriol ("terusi") as an additional fertilizer application during growth and production. Thus, the main measurement for management practice was the frequency of clearing the plantation. Presently, the proportion of old palm is increasing each year because new plantings have been on a small scale. Yield of nuts per bearing tree is below what could be achieved through a higher proportion per year of new plantings and better management practices. The market structure within the coconut marketing area of Indragiri Hilir indicated a monopsony and an oligopsony framework at the interinsular level. The oligopsony is not only by firm but also by product use. However, within the copra marketing structure, including the Jakarta copra market, competitive forces do prevail. Vertical integration in the form of physical owner- ship of market facilities at various levels does not exist. However, several marketing firms extend credit, tied to the delivery of copra. Thus, the result resembles, in large part, a vertically integrated structure. Prices at the various marketing levels appear to be directly related to each other. The price differences between each market level depend on marketing costs at each level. A price change at the coconut oil industry level (Jakarta price) is reflected back to the village price. There is an economic incentive for the large plantation operator to produce a higher quality copra compared to small operators. Part of this incentive is due to the act that small producers are not able to afford adequate drying and storage facilities since they would frequently

Abstrak: Indonesia has the largest coconut area in the world, about 3,85 million hectare. It is also the biggest producer of coconut in the world, that produce around 16,498 billion nuts equivalent (3,3 million ton in copra equivalent). However, this situation does not mean that Indonesia become the biggest exporter of coconut agro-industry product in the world. The export value of coconut agro-industry products of Indonesia is only about 65,5% of total Philippine exports of coconut agro-industry products in 2009. In fact, Indonesia and the Philippines have the similar characteristics and plantation development patterns that are mostly done by the farmer themselves. Therefore, this research purpose is to determine prospective of coconut agro-industry product to be developed in export market with Exponential Comparative Method, to determine potential market of the prospective products with Analytical Hierarchy Process, and to formulate marketing strategy for coconut agro-industry product export oriented with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix, Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrix, External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrix, Internal-External matrix, and Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat (SWOT) matrix. The result indicated the selection of prospective products with Exponential Comparative Method showed that desiccated coconut (DC) are the most prospective product with the main potential market is China. Based on research result, the best market strategy to increase export value of coconut agro-industry products are replanting the coconut area, increase production process efficiency, increase quality of the products, create government organization to arrange export of coconut products from minor industries and farmers, active to attend coconut exhibitions in potential markets, develop export market to other countries, like USA, East Europe, and China, and develop more value-added products.

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.
