Judul: Analisis Daya Saing Komoditas Teh Hitam Curah Indonesia di Pasar Global (Studi Kasus di Negara Russia).
Abstrak: Seduhan teh merupakan minuman dengan tingkat konsumsi tertinggi di dunia setelah air. Komoditas teh sendiri terbagi menjadi empat jenis yaitu Teh Hijau Curah, Teh Hijau Kemas, Teh Hitam Curah, dan Teh Hitam Kemas. Meskipun Teh Hitam Curah memiliki rataan harga paling rendah Namun, Teh Hitam Curah merupakan komoditas teh dengan permintaan dan pertumbuhan nilai impor per tahun yang paling tinggi. Russia selain menjadi tujuan utama ekspor Teh Hitam Curah Indonesia Namun, juga merupakan negara importir Teh Hitam Curah terbesar di dunia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis posisi daya saing teh hitam curah Indonesia di pasar global menggunakan metode CMSA serta faktorfaktor apa saja yang memengaruhi daya saing teh hitam curah Indonesia di pasar Russia menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil analisis menggunakan metode CMSA menunjukan daya saing Indonesia berada di posisi yang rendah diantara negara-negara eksportir utama dan memiliki tren yang negatif. Lalu berdasarkan analisis regresi linier berganda menunjukan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap daya saing teh hitam curah Indonesia di pasar Russia adalah GDP dengan hubungan positif dan harga dengan hubungan yang negatif.

Judul: Analisis Daya Saing dan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Permintaan Ekspor Teh Hitam Indonesia ke Negara Tujuan Ekspor
Abstrak: Indonesia is one of black tea exporting countries in the world. The purposes of this research is to analyze the competitiveness and factors affecting demand for Indonesian exports of black tea in export destination countries. The analytical methods used in this study are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamics (EPD) and gravity model analysis. The export destination countries of Indonesian black tea are Russian Federation, Pakistan, Malaysia, United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Poland, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine and Netherlands in the periods of 2007-2013. RCA analysis shows that black tea Indonesia has a high competitiveness in the export destination countries. EPD analysis reveals that Indonesian black tea export to Pakistan, Poland, Russian Federation and Ukraine is under the Rising Star, and United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom is under the Falling Star, while Germany, Malaysia, Netherlands and the United States is under the Lost Opportunity. The results of the analysis of gravity models show that real GDP export destination countries, GDP per capita of Indonesia, the real exchange rate of export destinations, the price of black tea exports and economic distance are variables significantly influencing demand for black tea export.

Judul: Synthesis of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Made of Eggshells Through A Hydrothermal Method
Abstrak: Biphasic Calcium Phosphate mixed of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate. A hydrothermal method of synthesizing by mixing CaO as calcium source and (NH4)2HPO4 as phosphate source with distilled water. CaO got from calcination process made of eggshells. All samples were synthesized using hydrothermal reactor then followed by sintering process. The molar ratio of Ca and P for all samples was 0.5 M : 0.3 M. Hydrothermal temperature and sintering temperature were variated they are 250 ºC, 300 ºC for hydrothermal and 800 ºC, 900 ºC, 1000 ºC for sintering, higher treatment temperature, tricalcium phosphate appears. Final results of synthesis were characterized by using X-ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared. X-ray Diffraction patterns was ecompared with database Join Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards and found tricalcium phosphate and hydoxyapatite.
