Kebijakan pengembangan agroindustri merupakan salah satu kebijakan pemerintah yang diharapkan berdampak mengurangi kemiskinan dan memperbaiki distribusi pendapatan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran sektor agroindustri dalam perekonomian nasional dan dampak kebijakan ekonomi di sektor agroindustri terhadap distribusi pendapatan dan kemiskinan. Kebijakan ekonomi yang dimaksud adalah kebijakan peningkatan pengeluaran pemerintah, ekspor, investasi dan insentif pajak di sektor agroindustri dan redistribusi pendapatan. Analisis menggunakan data Sistem Neraca Sosial Ekonomi (SNSE) yang didisagregasi ke dalam agroindustri makanan dan non makanan. Simulasi kebijakan di sektor agroindustri dilanjutkan untuk menganalisis distribusi pendapatan dan kemiskinan menggunakan data SNSE dan SUSENAS., Indonesia poverty incidences are mostly found in the rural areas and in the agricultural sector. At present, the incidence is becoming more increasing and has drawn a national attention. Poverty and income distribution are closely related to the economic development. Agroindustry development policy is one of the government policies aim to have positive impacts on the income equality and poverty in Indonesia. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of agroindustry in the Indonesian economy and to analyze the impact of the government expenditure, export, investment and tax policy in agroindustry sector on the income distribution and poverty.

Judul: Dampak Kebijakan Pembangunan Pertanian Terhadap Pengentasan Kemiskinan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Government policy applied in agricultural sectors, giving opportunity for welfare improvement and poverty reduction of all perpetrator in concerned agricultural sector directly and also indirectly. Impact of agriculture development policy on poverty reduction during the time it is important to know and evaluated, so that necessary action can be taken a strategic agriculture development policy and able to become solution about height problem of poverty level. This study aims at analyzing the impact of agricultural development policy on poverty reduction in Indonesia. To reach this objective, a simultaneous equations model is constructed and estimated using the 2SLS method. Simulations of a set of policy scenarios are undertaken based on estimeted parameters of the model. The result of this research show that urban poverty can to reduced by improvement policy of real wage rate, improvement of economic growth, goverment expenditure in service sector and improvement of nasional food stock. Furthermore, rural poverty can be depressed by improvement of real wage rate, economic growth, goverment expenditure on agriculture, price of agriculture commodity and improvement of agricultural production. While for the economic crisis and inflation give positive influence to poorness number improvement in rural.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
