Judul: Identifikasi Perbedaan Genetik dan Kandungan Senyawa Minyak Atsiri dari Kapulaga (Amomum cardamomum) Merah dan Putih
Abstrak: The genetic information of red and white cardamom can be developed to get the seeds as a medicine. The purpose of this study is to identify the differences in red and white cardamom. The differences matter in both types of cardamom are done by analysis of FTIR and GCMS of the essential oil content. RAPD results showed both cardamom have different molecular weights and they are polymorphic because it shows the diversity the fragments of DNA bands. Isolation of red cardamom essential oil has a greater yield (0.28%) than white cardamom (0.20%). FTIR results showed that both the cardamom plants found in the IR spectrum in the same range of wave numbers, so FTIR can not identify differences in red and white cardamom. GCMS to identify the difference between red and white cardamom. GCMS results indicate the presence of 17 compounds which only the red cardamom and 12 compounds were only owned by white cardamom.

Judul: Total Phenolics, Flavonoids and Antioxidant Tests Variations in Extraction Methods and Solvents for Java Cardamom Fruit (Amomum compactum Sol. Ex Maton)
Abstrak: Metode dan pelarut ekstraksi dilaporkan mempengaruhi kadar senyawa metabolit sekunder dan aktivitas antioksidan buah kapulaga jawa. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan pengaruh metode dan jenis pelarut ekstraksi terbaik filtrat buah kapulaga jawa (Amomum compactum) berdasarkan kadar total fenolik, flavonoid dan aktivitas antioksidan. Buah kapulaga jawa diekstraksi dengan metode konvesional Refluks dan metode modern yaitu Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) dan Continuous Shaking Extraction (CSE) dengan pelarut Etanol, Metanol, dan Akuades. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan metode ekstraksi MAE pelarut Akuades memperoleh hasil tertinggi pada kadar fenolik yaitu 1,33, Extraction methods and solvents were reported to influence the levels of secondary metabolite compounds and antioxidant activity of Javanese cardamom fruit. This study aimed to determine the effect of the best extraction method and type of solvent for Javanese cardamom (Amomum compactum) fruit filtrate based on total phenolic, flavonoid and antioxidant activity levels. Javanese cardamom fruit is extracted using the conventional Reflux method and modern methods, namely Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) and Continuous Shaking Extraction (CSE) with the solvents Ethanol, Methanol, and Aquades. The results showed that the MAE extraction method using Aquades solvent obtained the highest results in phenolic content, namely 1.33

Judul: Dynamic New Keynesian Model for Unemployment and Inflation Rate.
Abstrak: This paper deals with a scientific analysis of the equilibrium level of hiring, employment and unemployment. The basic model being used is a standard new Keynesian model, which states that utility function depends on consumptions and working hours. Utility maximization refers to a standard labour supply equation, with the marginal cost’s dynamics on new Keynesian model simply reflects movements in real wages and productivity. Furthermore, trade-off between output and inflation stabilization can be considered using the new Keynesian Phillips curve. Dynamic general equilibrium model is a model that can be used to study interactions between market imperfections and nominal rigidities, which is capable of overcoming the main shortcoming of the standard new Keynesian model. In the general equilibrium model there are three groups of the economy agents, namely households, firms and monetary authority. The results of this research science that bargaining processes between firms and workers will yield optimal wage. Increase in labour will cause wages to fall, but the unemployment rate can be reduced. An increase in the firm’s monopoly power will shift the labour demand curve downward, which will reduce the number of workers that firm is willing to hire for any given bargained wage.
