Judul: The Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Poverty Level (Case Study of Street Vendors in Bandung City)
Abstrak: Penyebaran kasus Covid-19 di Indonesia mendorong pemerintah untuk memberlakukan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak pandemi COVID-19 terhadap tingkat kemiskinan dan kesejahteraan PKL di kota Bandung dengan menggunakan analisis model CIBEST untuk melihat perubahan berdasarkan perspektif Islam dengan menyelaraskan aspek material dan aspek spiritual. Data primer digunakan sebagai sumber data melalui wawancara di 13 tempat umum yang berbeda di Kota Bandung. 100 responden yang terdiri dari pedagang kaki lima yang sudah berjualan sejak sebelum pandemi telah diwawancarai. Model CIBEST yang terdiri dari empat indeks yang terdiri Indeks kesejahteraan, kemiskinan materi, kemiskinan spiritual, dan indeks kemiskinan absolut, digunakan sebagai alat analisis. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa pandemi Covid-19 berdampak pada kesejahteraan PKL dengan penurunan indeks kesejahteraan sebesar 21%, peningkatan kemiskinan materi sebesar 21%, sedangkan kemiskinan spiritual dan indeks kemiskinan absolut stabil pada 0 persen. Dengan indeks kesejahteraan yang menurun, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pandemi Covid-19 berdampak pada situasi rumah tangga pedagang kaki lima., The spread of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia prompted the government to enact Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the poverty level and welfare of street vendors in Bandung using the CIBEST model to see changes from an Islamic perspective by reconciling material and spiritual aspects. Primary data was used as the source of data through interviews in 13 different public areas of Bandung City. 100 respondents of the street vendors that have been selling since before the pandemic had been interviewed. The CIBEST that consist of welfare, material poverty, spiritual poverty, and absolute poverty index model is used as the tool of analysis. The result of this study shows that Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the welfare index of street vendors by 21%, material poverty has increased by 21%, but spiritual poverty and absolute poverty are remained stable at 0%. By the decreasing index of welfare, it can be concluded that the pandemic of Covid-19 has an impact towards street vendors' household situation.

Judul: Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Open Unemployment Rate and Income Inequality in Indonesia
Abstrak: Pandemi Covid-19 yang melanda dunia termasuk Indonesia mendorong pemerintah Indonesia menerapkan kebijakan PSBB. Kebijakan ini membatasi aktivitas sosial ekonomi masyarakat sehingga berdampak pada keberlangsungan pekerjaan hingga penurunan pendapatan pekerja. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka (TPT) dan rasio gini Indonesia mengalami peningkatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan keadaan TPT dan ketimpangan pendapatan di Indonesia sebelum dan saat pandemi Covid-19 serta menganalisis dampak pandemi Covid-19 dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi TPT dan ketimpangan pendapatan terhadap TPT dan ketimpangan pendapatan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memakai metode analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi data panel statis 34 provinsi selama rentang waktu 2020-2021 yang terdiri dari empat model, dengan pendekatan Fixed Effect Model (FEM) dan Random Effect Model (REM). Hasil estimasi data panel menunjukkan bahwa kasus positif Covid-19, PDRB, dan rata-rata lama sekolah memengaruhi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap TPT, sedangkan IPM memengaruhi secara negatif dan signifikan terhadap TPT. Sementara itu, kasus positif Covid-19 dan PDRB per kapita memengaruhi secara negatif dan signifikan terhadap ketimpangan pendapatan., The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit the world, including Indonesia, has prompted the Indonesian government to implement the PSBB policy. This policy limits the socio- economic activities of the community so that it has an impact on the continuity of work to a decrease in workers' income. This causes the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) and Indonesia's Gini ratio to increase. This study aims to explain the condition of TPT and income inequality in Indonesia before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the factors that affect TPT and income inequality on TPT and income inequality in Indonesia. This study uses descriptive analysis methods and static panel data regression analysis of 34 provinces during the 2020-2021 time span which consists of four models, with Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and Random Effect Model (REM) approaches. The results of the panel data estimation show that positive cases of Covid-19, GRDP, and average length of schooling have a positive and significant impact on TPT, while HDI has a negative and significant impact on TPT. Meanwhile, positive cases of Covid-19 and GRDP per capita have a negative and significant impact on income inequality.

Judul: The Design for The Synthesis Of Secondary Fatty Amine From Its Corresponding Fatty Acid
Abstrak: The method for synthesizing secondary amine from its corresponding fatty acid has been successfully carried out using a synthesis design through amide-primary amines. The design involved the reactions of amide formation followed by reduction into amine. The secondary amines successfully produced were dipalmitylamine, distearylamine, and dioleylamine. The resulted total output obtained of each secondary amine was 36.28, 35.43, and 36.35%, respectively. The successful synthesis was indicated by the change in the functional groups monitored using the fourier transform infrared spectroscopic method. The change of the functional group was monitored through the change of primary amide to primary amine and secondary amide to secondary amine.
