Abstrak: SUMMARY GUSTAWAN RACHMAN. Strategies for Improvement of Government Expenditure Budget Absorption of Bogor City. supervised by Ma’mun Sarma and Dwi Rachmina. The absorption of the Bogor City Government's expenditure budget in recent years has always experienced delays in expenditure budget absorption, where from the data taken from the 2011 to 2018 period, the average SiLPA of the Bogor City Government has always been worse than the average SiLPA of Kabupaten and Kota in the Province. West Java. In addition, data between 2016 and 2018 shows that there is always a delay in the absorption of the expenditure budget and a deviation between the expenditure budget absorption schedule that has been prepared and the actual absorption of the budget. Therefore, this study aims to find the factors causing the delay in the absorption of the Bogor City Government expenditure budget so that a strategy can be formulated to improve the absorption performance of this expenditure budget.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
