Judul: Penentuan Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Angka Partisipasi Sekolah dengan Pendekatan Regresi Spasial (Studi Kasus: 26 Kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat Tahun 2011)
Abstrak: West Java is a province with the largest population in Indonesia which 5.23% of its are high school-age, has a great responsibility to promote education in the region. One of the indicators used to assess educational progress is the School Participation Rate (SPR). The SPR has a spatial effect across the region, so that the method used in this study is Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). The purpose of this study was to determine the variables which affect the SPR in West Java Province for 2011. The research’s result show that the variables that affect the SPR in West Java Province year 2011 are the ratio of sum of teachers to school-age population (%) and the percentage of poverty. High living cost in the western part of West Java Province led to unequal number of poverty in this province. This problem can affect the SPR so that the percentage of poverty need to be considered to increase the SPR in this region. In the eastern part of West Java Province, the access teacher’s education facilities in this area are difficult, it led to unequal, so that teacher’s education facilities need to be considered to increase the SPR in this region.

Judul: Determinant of junior secondary school enrollment rate in West Java
Abstrak: Human development can be interpreted as the expansion of people's access to education, health and income. It becomes an international’s concern on education implemented in Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Related to basic education, MDGs targeted by the end of 2015 that all boys and girls in the whole world,aged 7–15 years old, will have the access to 9-year basic education. In 2011, BPS (Statistics Indonesia) noted that West Java Province is the province with the lowest enrollment rate in all level of education, including junior secondary school level, whichis equal to 85.69%. Although its school operational grant (Bantuan Operasional Sekolah–BOS) allocation from the government is the highest among other province in Java island. On the other hand, West Java has become agent of development in national growth. It has the biggest population andwas the third largest contributor to GDP in Indonesia in 2011. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of West Java’s junior secondary school enrollment rate improvement and to see the determinant factors for it. The data used in this study taken from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Ministry of National Education and other sources between 2007–2011period of time. Itcovers school enrollment for 13–15 years of age, the allocation of school operational grant (BOS), the poverty rate, GDP per capita, and students per school ratio. Social factors, such as the percentage of household heads with high schooleducation level and working 13–15 years old children, are processed using SUSENAS data between 2007–2011 period of time. This study uses derived analysis and regression analysis of panel data. In 2007, West Java enrollment rate up to 80.36% and increased to 85.69% in 2011. Based on the proportions of gender, since 2009, the percentage of girls enrolled in school is higher than boys. The result of panel data regression indicates that GDP per capita and education level of the household head has a positive effect on increasing the enrollment rate. While the variable students per school ratio, poverty and working 13–15 years old childrenhas a negative affect. This study suggests,in order to improve the enrollment rate, West Java Government should increase local revenue to enablethe people to have sufficient income for attending school, especially for the poor. The government is also expected to increase the education budget that can be used for the availability of schools.

Judul: Sintesis 1-Kloro-2-metoksi-6-propilnaftalena-1,3-dioksolana (1:1) sebagai Prekursor Asam (S)-(+)-(6-Metoksi-2-naftil)propanoat
Abstrak: Senyawa 1-kloro-2-metoksi-6-propilnaftalena-1,3-dioksolana (1:1) sebagai prekursor asam (S)-(+)-(6-metoksi-2-naftil)propanoat disintesis dari bahan awal 2-metoksinaftalena. Tahapan sintesis diawali dengan klorinasi menggunakan 2 jenis pereaksi klorinasi, yakni isosianurat terklorinasi dan NaOCl. Klorinasi dengan isosianurat terklorinasi berhasil menyintesis 1-kloro-2-metoksinaftalena sebagai produk monoklorinasi melalui pencirian dengan kromatograf gas-spektrometer massa (GC-MS). Nisbah konversi produk paling efisien diperoleh pada laju penambahan 2.5 mmol/jam. Sebaliknya, klorinasi dengan NaOCl menghasilkan produk triklorinasi. 1-Kloro-2-metoksinaftalena selanjutnya diasilasi dengan propanoil klorida, tetapi analisis dengan GC menunjukkan bahwa produk asilasi tidak terbentuk. Sistem bebas-air diperlukan untuk keberhasilan proses asilasi tersebut.
