Judul: Pengaruh Tata Kelola Ekonomi Daerah Terhadap Tingkat Pengangguran Di Indonesia
Abstrak: The most prominent problems in economic development in Indonesia is a spike in the unemployment rate. The purpose of the study was to describe the condition of local economic governance (TKED) districts and cities in Indonesia, and analyze the effect on the unemployment rate TKED. Analysis of data using multiple regression analysis. The results stated that of the seven indicators TKED, capacity index values integrity of regional heads and local government interaction with business players better in Eastern Indonesia, while the other five indicators has an index value better in western Indonesia. Variable investment, capital expenditures, and significant TKED effect of reducing the unemployment rate. Counties and cities recommended to improve TKED indicators are the lowest in the region Banten, Jambi, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, North Maluku, NTB, and Southeast Sulawesi.

Judul: Pengaruh Tata Kelola Ekonomi Daerah Terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia di Kawasan Timur Indonesia
Abstrak: East Indonesia is a part of Indonesian region which has a wealth of natural that can be developed and potential to become a growth centers. However, this wealth natural resource has not been supported by human resource both in quality and quantity. This can be reflected from the HDI (Human Development Index) in a relatively low in East Indonesia. Regional autonomy was implemented in Indonesia since 2001 aims to improve the welfare of the society and is expected to increase HDI and reduce poverty. The objective of this study is to describe Local Economic Governance (LEG), poverty and HDI in the region and to analyze the impact of LEG on poverty and HDI in East Indonesia. The data were processed using descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis to estimate Ordinary Least Square. The results showed that LEG conditions in East Indonesia still inequity. The level of poverty districts/cities in East Indonesia is still high and HDI is still relatively low. Variables that can significantly increase the HDI in East Indonesia is business licensing, regulatory regions, capacity and integrity of regent / mayor, security and conflict resolution, as well as GDP per capita and education spending. While the variables that can reduce the level of poverty is local infrastructure, business licensing, capacity and integrity of regent/mayor, security and conflict resolution, GDP per capita and education spending .

Judul: Prebiotic Potential of Hidrated Basil Seed (Ocimum basilicum L.) and Chia Seed (Salvia hispanica) by In Vitro
Abstrak: Selasih (Ocimum basilicum L.) merupakan tanaman yang tumbuh di beberapa bagian Asia, Eropa, dan Timur Tengah. Biji chia (Salvia hispanica) dulunya digunakan sebagai persembahan untuk dewa-dewa suku Aztec. Kedua biji ini samasama bagian dari famili Lamiaceae atau Labiatae. Biji selasih dan chia sudah umum dikonsumsi oleh manusia, baik sebagai minuman maupun makanan. Kedua biji ini terdiri dari bagian dalam yang keras dan lapisan luar yang mengandung pektin fibrial. Bagian luar perikarp (atau bagian epidermis) biji saat direndam dalam air akan membengkak menjadi gum. Biji selasih dan biji chia memiliki karakter fisik yang hampir serupa, kedua biji tersebut secara umum berwarna hitam dan berbentuk lonjong, serta ukuran yang hampir sama. Biji selasih dan chia terhidrasi masih jarang dilakukan penelitian mengenai potensi prebiotiknya secara in vitro. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) mengetahui karakteristik kimia biji selasih dan chia terhidrasi, (2) mengetahui ketahanan biji selasih/chia terhidrasi terhadap simulasi sistem gastrointestinal dengan menghitung persen hidrolisis karbohidrat, dan (3) mengetahui kemampuan biji chia/selasih terhidrasi dapat dimetabolisme oleh probiotik (L. paracasei) dan pathogen (E. coli) dengan penghitungan indeks dan aktivitas prebiotik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tiga tahap utama. Tahap pertama yaitu hidrasi biji selasih/chia dan karakterisasi kimia (kadar karbohidrat by difference, lemak, protein, abu, air, serat pangan larut, serat pangan tidak larut, dan kadar serat pangan total) biji selasih dan chia terhidrasi, Tahap kedua, yakni pengujian ketahanan pada simulasi sistem gastro-intestinal (kadar gula pereduksi, karbohidrat total, dan persentase karbohidrat terhidrolisis). Tahap ketiga yaitu pengujian kemampuan menstimulasi pertumbuhan bakteri usus (jumlah koloni bakteri, indeks prebiotik, dan aktivitas prebiotik). Biji chia terhidrasi lebih memenuhi kriteria prebiotik secara in vitro dengan bakteri uji L. paracasei dan E. coli dibandingkan dengan biji selasih terhidrasi. Hal ini dikarenakan (1) biji selasih terhidrasi dan biji chia terhidrasi tahan terhadap hidrolisis enzim pencernaan manusia, namun tidak terlalu resisten terhadap keasaman lambung, (2) biji selasih terhidrasi dan biji selasih terhidrasi dapat menumbuhkan bakteri probiotik (L. paracasei), dengan biji chia terhidrasi dapat menumbuhkan L. paracasei lebih baik dibandingkan dengan biji selasih terhidrasi, (3) biji chia terhidrasi lebih selektif dalam menumbuhkan probiotik dibandingkan dengan biji selasih terhidrasi., Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) grows in several parts of Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) were once used as offerings to the Aztec gods. These two seeds are both part of the Lamiaceae or Labiatae family. Basil and chia seeds are commonly consumed by humans, both as drinks and food. These two seeds consist of a hard inner part and an outer layer containing fibrial pectin. The outer pericarp (or epidermis) of seeds when soaked in water will swell into gum. Basil seeds and chia seeds have almost similar physical characteristics, both seeds are generally black in color and oval in shape, and are almost the same size. Hydrated basil and chia seeds have rarely been studied regarding their prebiotic potential in vitro. The aims of this research were (1) to determine the chemical characteristics of hydrated basil and chia seeds, (2) to determine the resistance of hydrated basil/chia seeds to a simulated gastrointestinal system by calculating the percent hydrolysis of carbohydrates, and (3) to determine
