Judul: Rate of Return to Investment in Education in Faculty of Economics and Management IPB University Graduates
Abstrak: Perguruan tinggi dituntut untuk mencapai target Indeks Kinerja Utama Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (IKU-PTN) yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan terkait lulusan yang layak. Maka dari itu, perguruan tinggi perlu untuk melakukan survey serta penilaian. Hal tersebut mendorong Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen untuk meningkatkan mutu lulusan maupun pelayanan. Sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisa hasil pengembalian investasi pendidikan serta kelayakan pada lulusan Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen IPB. Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah data kuantitatif dan kualitatif melalui data primer dan sekunder. Metode penentuan dan penarikan sampel yang digunakan adalah nonprobability sampling dan purposive sampling. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 150 orang. Metode yang digunakan berupa analisis deskriptif dan pengembalian investasi. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk mengolah data pada karakteristik responden. Adapun analisis pengembalian investasi berupa Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Rate of Return (ROR), Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), dan Internal Rate of Return (IRR) serta analisis loyalitas lulusan menggunakan Net Promoter Score (NPS). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, bahwa kelayakan investasi pendidikan dari gaji lulusan dinyatakan layak namun hasil penghitungan terkait nilai manfaat berdasarkan tabungan dinyatakan tidak layak. Loyalitas lulusan terhadap Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen mayoritas berada dalam kategori passive.

Judul: Development  strategy  performance  based studies program to world class university at departement of management  fem- ipb.
Abstrak: Departemen Manajemen FEM-IPB merupakan salah satu program studi yang menyelenggarakan Program Sarjana, Program Pascasajana Mayor Ilmu Manajemen serta Program Alih Jenis Manajemen. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan evaluasi diri yang mengaitkan berbagai program penjaminan mutu yang ada sehingga terfokus pada tujuan-tujuan organisasi, ukuran-ukuran kinerja utama dan target yang terkait dengan tujuan strategik jangka panjang. Berdasarkan permasalahan ini maka perlu dilakukan pengukuran kinerja menggunakan metode Balanced Scorecard. Tujuan penelitian adalah (1) Menganalisis implementasi pelaksanaan penilaian mutu program studi Departemen Manajemen berdasarkan BSC tahun 2011-2012 (2) Menganalisis rumusan dan gambaran peta strategi Departemen Manajemen FEM-IPB (3) Menganalisis ukuran pencapaian kinerja Departemen Manajemen pada tahun 2013 dengan perhitungan BSC dan inisiatif strategis yang tepat untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan pada Departemen Manajemen secara berkelanjutan.Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa kinerja Departemen Manajemen memperoleh nilai 63,02% yang berarti cukup (diekspresikan dengan warna kuning). Kinerja ini dapat diperbaiki dengan menerapkan program berupa inisiatif strategis terutama pada Indikator Kinerja Kunci yang bernilai rendah., Departement of Management FEM-IPB held courses Undergraduate Program, Management Sciences of Pascasajana Major and Management Transfer Programme.. Therefore, self-evaluation is needed to link the various existing quality assurance programs that focused on organizational objectives, key performance measures and associated with long-term strategic goals targets. Balanced Scorecard method use for performance measurement based this problem. The objective of this reasearch are (1) to implementation analyze for quality assessment in 2011-2012 (2) to formulate and describe strategy map (3) to measure performance achievement analyze Departement of Management in 2013 with BSC calculations and strategic initiatives to increase the education quality in Departement of Management countinuiting. Results indicate that performance of Departement of Management still sufficient with 63.02% value (expressed in yellow). That performance can be improved by implementing a program strategic initiatives primarily on Key Performance Indicators law value.

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
