Judul: Improving The Capability For Innovation In The Indonesian Seaweed Industry: An Exploratory Research
Abstrak: Pemerintah Indonesia menganggap teknologi berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kinerja suatu industri. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah percaya bahwa intervensi suatu teknologi dapat memperbaiki harga komoditas. Program pemberian bantuan alat telah didaulat menjadi salah satu kunci untuk menanggulangi permasalahan tersebut yang terjadi pada industri rumput laut di beberapa bagian Indonesia. Namun, pada kenyataanya program tersebut menunjukkan perbedaan tingkat keberhasilan. Semua perusahaan yang menerima bantuan tersebut cenderung menampilkan perbedaan kinerja meski memiliki teknologi yang sama. Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa teknologi tidak mutlak memberikan kesuksesan yang sama. Sebaliknya, hal tersebut mengindikasikan adanya kontribusi krusial dari elemen yang lain terhadap kinerja suatu perusahaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor kunci yang menyebabkan kesuksesan perusahaan yang menerima bantuan teknologi yang sama. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara membandingkan performa dari dua perusahaan Alkali-treated Carageenan (ATC) yang memiliki perbedaan performa. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi terstruktur pada perusahaan sampel di Waingapu dan Lombok timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan suatu framework untuk menggeneralisir temuan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan teknologi dan kemampuan transaksi erat kaitannya dengan tingkat keinovativan suatu perusahaan. Selain peran teknologi, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kemampuan manajerial sangat berperan dalam kesuksesan suatu perusahaan. Kemampuan seorang manajer perusahaan sangat berperan dalam memajukan industri yang dipimpinnya. Pengalaman manajerial yang dimiliki seorang manajer merupakan keuntungan yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan A dan tidak dimiliki oleh perusahaan B.

Judul: Dampak Inovasi Produk terhadap Kinerja Perusahaan Manufaktur di Indonesia
Abstrak: The role of innovation in the company is needed considering that it can be a source of competitive advantage and increase the company's survival. Not only in the corporate sphere, but innovation can also be a source of long-term national economic growth. Product innovations (modified or newly created products) tend to be seen in the manufacturing industry. The innovation performance of manufacturing industry in Indonesia can be reflected by the Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index. Based on the CIP value, the innovation performance of Indonesian manufacturing companies shows a fluctuating trend from 2015-2020. Indonesia ranks 38 out of 155 countries and lags behind other neighboring countries. Based on this explanation, this study aims to analyze (1) what factors influence the decisions of manufacturing companies to innovate products in Indonesia and (2) how the impact of product innovation on the performance of manufacturing companies in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data, namely a survey data from 1025 Indonesian manufacturing companies in 2015 obtained from the World Bank. The total companies that became the research sample were 133 companies that innovated and 892 companies that did not innovate products. The method used to achieve the first objective is logit regression and the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to achieve the second objective. PSM in this study was carried out using psmatch2 and the nearest neighbor matching method. The results showed that the manager's work experience, international market location and R&D variables influenced the company's decision to innovate positively and significantly. The impact of product innovation on the company's turnover after the balancing test using the nearest-neighbor matching method has a statistically significant effect. Companies that carry out product innovation have a company turnover of Rp2.167.500.000.000,00 more than companies that do not innovate. This research suggests that companies should focus on activities that increase product innovation, such as R&D and exports. On the other hand, from a policy perspective, the government can facilitate permits related to R&D activities, exports, patents and others. Especially for small companies that have limited resources so that it is not possible to conduct R&D, the government can facilitate financial access by utilizing financial technology and allocating special funds for collaboration program through open innovation., Peran inovasi di dalam perusahaan dibutuhkan mengingat dapat menjadi sumber keunggulan kompetitif dan meningkatkan kelangsungan hidup perusahaan. Tidak hanya di lingkup perusahaan, inovasi dapat menjadi sumber untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional jangka panjang. Inovasi yang cenderung terlihat di industri manufaktur adalah inovasi produk (produk yang dimodifikasi atau baru diciptakan). Inovasi industri manufaktur di Indonesia dapat tercermin dari indeks Competitive Industrial Perfomance (CIP). Berdasarkan nilai CIP, kinerja Inovasi perusahaan manufaktur Indonesia menunjukkan tren fluktuatif dari tahun 2015- 2020. Indonesia menempati rangking 38 dari 155 negara dan masih tertinggal dari negara tetangga lainnya. Berdasarkan pemaparan tersebut maka, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis (1) faktor-faktor apa saja yang memengaruhi keputusan perusahaan manufaktur dalam melakukan inovasi produk di Indonesia dan (2) bagaimana dampak inovasi produk terhadap kinerja perusahaan manufaktur di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder, yakni data survei 1025 perusahaan manufuktur Indonesia Tahun 2015 yang diperoleh dari Bank Dunia. Total

Judul: Biology and ecology of the buffalo fly, haematobia exigua de meijere (diptera:muscidae)
Abstrak: The life history of the buffalo fly was observed at room temperature of 27°-29.5°C and at a relative humidity of 48-68 percent. The eggs hatched after 17-22 hours, with an average of 18 hours. First instar larvae measured 1.25 + 0.16 mm long and 0.27 + 0.037 mm wide. reach the second larval stage. It took 6-12 hours to the second instar larvae measured 2.676 +0.187 mm long and 0.353 +0.028 mm wide. The second instar took about 12-24 hours to reach the third larval stage. The third instar measured 6.833 + 0.189 mm long and 0.919 + 0.051 mm wide. It took about 2-3 days for the third instar to become pupae. Duration of the pupal stage was about 5-7 days before the adults emerged. Under laboratory condition, the buffalo fly completed its life cycle in 9.5 to 10.5 days, whereas under field condition it took 9-14 days with an average of 10.5 days. The growth ratio which was based on the measurements of the cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton of each instar was 1.797. The preoviposition period was 8-12 days and mating usually occurred on the 6th or 7th day. The longevity of the male was 29 days, whereas it was 32 days in the female. The range of egg production under laboratory condition was between 20-139 per female fly. The belly and hind legs of the carabao were the most preferred habitat either during cloudy and cool dry or shiny and warm day. When the weather was clear and the carabao was in the shade, the flies tended to be more distributed particularly on the shoulder, dewlap, back and horns. The carabaos had relatively fewer Musca sp. and Stomoxys calcitrans than cattle; never the less carabaos had a higher infestation of buffalo fly than cattle. Oviposition occured either during the day or night but the buffalo flies were more active during the night than in the day time. The effect of various lengths of exposure time of manure in relation to the oviposition was profound. observed, the maximum number of the buffalo flies was occurred when the dung was exposed for 30 minutes. With increasing time of exposure the number and variety of insects also increase. It was evident that Sepsidae and psychodidae were the most dominant insects emerging from the dung. The number of buffalo flies also increased with increasing
