Judul: Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Resertifikasi Halal dan Dampak Sertifikat Halal terhadap Profit UMKM
Abstrak: Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk menuju wajib halal tahun 2019 adalah dengan memberikan fasilitas halal gratis bagi para pelaku UMKM (Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah). Kabupaten Bogor telah memberikan fasilitas sertifikasi halal gratis sejak tahun 2005. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik pemilik UMKM di Kabupaten Bogor, mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi UMKM dalam resertifikasi halal, dan mengetahui dampak sertifikasi halal terhadap profit. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Bogor dengan melibatkan 49 responden. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif, analisis regresi logistik, dan OLS (Ordinary Least Square). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan analisis data, terdapat tiga variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap resertifikasi halal yaitu profit, pendidikan, dan mudah tidaknya proses melakukan resertifikasi halal. Sementara mencatumkan logo halal pada produk, jumlah tenaga kerja, dan jumlah varian produk memengaruhi profit UMKM.

Judul: Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Keputusan Pelaku UMKM Makanan dan Minuman dalam Memiliki Sertifikat Halal di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Berdasarkan UU No 33 Tahun 2014 Pemerintah mewajibkan sertifikat halal untuk makanan atau minuman yang beredar di seluruh Indonesia termasuk yang diproduksi oleh UMKM, pelaku usaha mayoritas di Indonesia. UMKM yang memiliki sertifikat halal di Indonesia hanya 1 persen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan pelaku UMKM di Kabupaten Bogor dalam memiliki sertifikat halal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi linear berganda. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dari 50 responden yang diwawancarai melalui kuesioner. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel branding berpengaruh positif terhadap keputusan pelaku UMKM dalam memiliki sertifikat halal. Variabel kesadaran halal, regulasi, dan fasilitas sertifikasi halal tidak berpengaruh terhadap keputusan pelaku UMKM dalam memiliki sertifikat halal.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
