Judul: Analysis the Influencing Factors of Micro Small Enterprises (MSE) in Bogor in Utilizing Rente Loan Service.
Abstrak: Usaha Mikro Kecil (UMK) memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam perekonomian Indonesia, tetapi masih dihadapkan dengan beberapa kendala. Salah satu kendala besar yang dihadapi oleh pelaku UMKM adalah kendala permodalan dan keterbatasan akses untuk mendapatkan pembiayaan dari lembaga keuangan formal. Hal tersebut menyebabkan pelaku UMK bergantung pada lembaga keuangan informal yang menggunakan sistem rente (bunga). Sistem ini secara tegas dilarang dalam norma agama. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis faktorfaktor yang memengaruhi pelaku UMK Kota Bogor dalam pemanfaatan jasa pinjaman rente. Responden yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 20 responden yang menggunakan pinjaman rente dan 30 responden yang tidak menggunakan pinjaman rente. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode regresi logistik dan analisis deskriptif. Faktor-faktor yang terbukti signifikan memengaruhi pelaku UMK dalam pemanfaatan jasa pinjaman rente adalah variabel pengaruh lingkungan, religiusitas, pendidikan dan pendapatan.

Judul: Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Akses dan Pembatasan Kredit pada UMKM di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have important role to absorb unemployment. However, most ofMSMEs have low access to formal financial institution. Semiformal financial institutions such as Baitul mal wat Tamwil (BMT) can support the needs of MSMEs capital. This study analyzed access MSMEs to conventional and Islamic financial institution and factors that influence credit rationing from financial institution. This research used logistic regression model to determine factors influencing MSMEs acces to BMT and their probability of being credit rationed by the institution. Access to Islamic financial institutions (BMT) are influenced by education and type of business (manufacturing and services). Factors influencing credit rationing are MSMEs’ maturity and frequency of loans

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
