Abstrak: Soybean demand continues to increase but does not meet sufficient domestic production resulting in higher price shock. An increase in soybean prices caused a major influence on tempeh industry in Indonesia, since soybean is the main input of tempeh,. The aims of this research were to analyze the effects of the increasing soybean price on business performance in terms of cost structure, revenue, profit, and efforts to deal with adjustments made under these conditions. This research was conducted from December 2012 to Februari 2013. This research used primary data from direct interviews with respondents and secondary data from relevant institutions and literature. The analysis tools used are quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results indicated that an increase in soybean prices affected rising of the total cost significantly because 70 percent of the cost was used for the purchase of soybeans. The condition led to decrease the amount of profit earned. Based on the comparison of the cost structure of the three production-scale showed there was a trend that an increasing of business scale will decrease the cost per kg of soybeans. It is concluded that an adjustment has to be undertaken in order to get high profit by reducing the size and increasing the price of tempeh

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.
