Judul: Pengaruh Iklim Komunikasi Organisasi dan Ketidakpuasan Kerja terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Usaha Kecil Manisan Buah Harapan Berkah
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi iklim komunikasi organisasi, ketidakpuasan kerja, dan kinerja karyawan usaha kecil. Selanjutnya menganalisis pengaruh iklim komunikasi organisasi terhadap kinerja karyawan dan pengaruh ketidakpuasan kerja terhadap kinerja karyawan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah metode sensus dengan pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh signifikan pada iklim komunikasi organisasi dalam unit usaha kecil terhadap kinerja karyawan tepatnya pada kepercayaan, kejujuran, keterbukaan dalam komunikasi ke bawah, keterbukaan dalam komunikasi ke atas dan perhatian pada tujuan berkinerja tinggi. Ketidakpuasan kerja juga memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan tepatnya pada kelesuan, keterlambatan pekerjaan, mengelakkan tugas, dan keinginan pindah.

Judul: Pengaruh Iklim Komunikasi Organisasi terhadap Kinerja Pekerja Industri Usaha Kecil dan Menengah
Abstrak: The research was conducted to identify labor’s characteristics in small and middle industries, the organizational climate communication in small and middle indutries, and the labor’s job performance. Furthermore to analize the influence of labor’s characteristics to the organizational climate communication, to analize the influence of labor’s characteristics to the labor’s job performance, and to analize the influence of organizational climate communication to the labor’s job performance. The research used the census method with quantitative approach and supported with qualitative approach. The result of the research demonstrated that there was a significant influence of labor’s characteristic to the organizational climate communication, precisely in ages, the length of labor’s working, and labor’s competences. Then the length of labor’s working in labor’s chacteristics showed a significant influence to the labor’s job performance. On the other hand, the organizational climate communication showed the most significant influence to the labor’s job performance by the level of trust, the quality of labor’s liaison with the boss, and labor’s commitment to the organization

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
