Judul: Analisis Ukuran Kemiskinan Foster-Greer-Thorbecke dari Sebaran Pendapatan Pareto Tipe I
Abstrak: Poverty is one of fundamental issues that attracts the attention of governments. Important points of poverty is about poverty measurement problem. One of the poverty measurements that provides a comprehensive poverty view is Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT). This paper analyzes the poverty measures of FGT from Pareto income distribution type I. This study uses the average of total outcome per capita per month and poverty line in 2010 that was reported by Statistics Indonesia. The result of the analysis shows that the provinces having distribution of income satisfying as the Pareto income distribution type I model in parameter α = 1.5 from 33 provinces are West Java, Banten, DI Yogyakarta, Bali, South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, Gorontalo, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, and Papua provinces. Papua Province has the highest percentage of poor, poverty gap, and distribution of poverty, meanwhile the lowest percentage is Banten Province.

Judul: Fiscal Decentralization on Poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Kemiskinan merupakan permasalahan kompleks yang dialami oleh berbagai negara, termasuk Indonesia. Kemiskinan di Indonesia cenderung berfluktuasi dengan nilai derajat desentralisasi fiskal yang menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kemandirian fiskal di Indonesia tergolong cukup baik, namun permasalahan kemiskinan masih belum terselesaikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh desentralisasi fiskal terhadap kemiskinan di Indonesia tahun 2017-2022. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis data panel. Data yang digunakan adalah data 34 provinsi di Indonesia selama periode tahun 2017-2022. Hasil estimasi regresi data panel diperoleh bahwa variabel derajat desentralisasi fiskal dan rata-rata lama sekolah berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap persentase penduduk miskin, indeks kedalaman kemiskinan, dan indeks keparahan kemiskinan di Indonesia. Kemudian variabel gini rasio dan dummy Covid-19 berpengaruh positif signifikan persentase penduduk miskin, indeks kedalaman kemiskinan, dan indeks keparahan kemiskinan di Indonesia. Pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak berpengaruh signikan terhadap persentase penduduk miskin dan indeks kedalaman kemiskinan, namun berpengaruh signifikan negatif terhadap indeks keparahan kemiskinan di Indonesia., Poverty is a complex problem experienced by various countries, including Indonesia. Poverty in Indonesia tends to fluctuate with the value of the degree of fiscal decentralization which shows that the level of fiscal independence in Indonesia is quite good, but the problem of poverty is still unresolved. This study aims to analyze the effect of fiscal decentralization on poverty in Indonesia in 2017-2022. The analytical method used is descriptive analysis and panel data analysis. The data used is data from 34 provinces in Indonesia during 2017-2022. The estimation results of the regression panel data show that the variable degree of fiscal decentralization and the average length of schooling have a significant negative effect on the proportion of poor people, the poverty depth index, and the poverty severity index in Indonesia. Then the Gini ratio and dummy Covid-19 variables have a significant positive effect on the proportion of poor people, the poverty depth index, and the poverty index in Indonesia. Economic growth has no significant effect on the proportion of poor people and the poverty depth index, but has a significant effect on the poverty index of poverty in Indonesia.

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.
