Judul: Dampak desentralisasi fiskal terhadap distribusi pendapatan dan tingkat kemiskinan
Abstrak: Desentralisasi fiskal memiliki tujuan menciptakan sistem layanan publik yang lebih baik, efektif, dan efesien, yang pada akhir bisa meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan kemandirian masyarakat, sehingga desentralisasi fiskal diharapkan bisa menciptakan pemerataan distribusi pendapatan dan mengurangi tingkat kemiskinan. Secara umum, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) menganalisis pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat ekonomi bawah (miskin) dibandingkan masyarakat ekonomi atas (tidak miskin) sebelum dan sesudah desentralisasi fiskal. (2) menentukan faktor-faktor penentu atau determinan kemiskinan sebelum dan sesudah desentralisasi fiskal, dan (3) mempelajari dampak desentralisasi fiskal, terhadap perubahan distribusi pendapatan dan tingkat kemiskinan.

Judul: Dampak desentralisasi fiskal terhadap pembangunan sosial ekonomi daerah di Indonesia
Abstrak: Fundamental change in the Indonesian governance mechanisms from centralized into decentralized system has been occured since 1st January 2001. The successes of the government during the period of decentralization can be seen from several indicaators such as economic growth, the number of poor people as well as human development index. However, many parties felt that the implementation of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia only in terms of its political success through the implementation of direct election of regional heads, while from an economic standpoint is still not satisfactory. Based on the background above, the purpose of this research are: 1) to analyze the factors that affect revenue, expenditure of local government and regional socio-economic development in Indonesia, 2) analyze the impact of fiscal decentralization on the revenue and expenditure of local government in Indonesia, 3) Analyzing the impact of changes in revenues and expenditures of local governments towards local socio-economic development in Indonesia. The analysis used in this research is descriptive analysis and analysis of simultaneous equations. The results of simulation models from the revenue side generally indicates that the increase in general allocation funds more influential and effective in improving the performance of socio-economic development compared with the increase in taxes and tax-sharing and non-tax. From the expenditure side, the agricultural sector development spending significantly more effective increasing the GRDP and poverty reduction in Sumatera, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. As for education and health sector spending provides a larger impact on the increase GRDP and poverty reduction in Java-Bali and Papua.

Judul: Characterization of CoCrMo alloy with titanium nitride and hydroxyapatite-chitosan coating
Abstrak: Endoprosthetic is moving tool for implant in the body, made of metals or polymers. Stainless steel, Co-based alloys, and Ti materials are widely used for implant materials. Co alloy used is CoCrMo which has excellent properties such as good biocompatibility, corrosion resistant, good mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, and high wear resistance, supporting its utilization as an implant material. CoCrMo alloy was synthesized using tri arc furnace with heating temperature of 3000 °C. TiN coating using plasma sputtering and nitriding method, characterized by a layer of gold. The content of Ti in the layer was 3.85% (w/w), whereas the content N was difficult to determine. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was synthesized using wet method with Ca source of chicken eggshell and P source of H3PO4 80%. HAp-chitosan composite coating aimed at improving the biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of CoCrMo. In vitro test showed that CoCrMo with TiN and HAp-chitosan coating had excellent corrosion resistance in liquid medium infusion, whereas samples HAp and CoCrMo with TiN coatings and HAp-chitosan had high level of toxicity in endothelial cell culture tests.
