Judul: Dampak Tarif Impor terhadap Produksi dan Impor Kedelai di Indonesia
Abstrak: Indonesia is a soybean importing country. Approximately 70% of Indonesian soybean consumption is fulfilled from import of soybean. There are many policies that have been promoted by Indonesian government to reduce the volume of imported soybean. One of the policies is import tariff protection. The purpose of import tariff is to protect farmers from a huge amount of imported soybean in domestic market, so the domestic soybean can compete with imported soybean. This research aimed to identify Indonesian government policies on soybean, to analyze the variable that affect the volume of imported soybean, and to analyze the tariff impact on the import volume and domestic soybean production. The analyses were conducted using descriptive analysis and simultaneous equations model. The identification of the policies to reduce the volume of imported soybean resulted the following three policies: agriculture intensification, agriculture extensification, and import tariff policies. Furthermore, the volume of imported soybean was affected by the following three variables: soybean consumption, import tariff and import volume of the preceding year. The simulation result showed that determining of 10% import tariff decrease 11.99% of import volume and increase 0.05% of domestic soybean production. However, 15% of import tariff decrease the import volume by 33.54% and increase the soybean production by 0.12%.

Judul: Pengaruh Tarif Impor terhadap Volume Impor Kedelai di Indonesia
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara importir kedelai terbesar di dunia. Rata-rata kebutuhan kedelai di Indonesia tiap tahunnya dipenuhi sebesar 60% dari impor. Pemerintah Indonesia telah melakukan berbagai kebijakan untuk mengurangi volume impor kedelai, salah satunya dengan kebijakan tarif impor. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis dampak kebijakan tarif impor terhadap volume impor kedelai di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan model koreksi kesalahan untuk mendapatkan tujuan yang diinginkan. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa pada jangka panjang variabel harga kedelai internasional dan nilai tukar Rupiah terhadap Dollar Amerika berpengaruh nyata terhadap volume impor sedangkan pada jangka pendek variabel yang berpengaruh nyata adalah tarif impor dengan pengaruh negatif. Tidak signifikannya tarif impor pada jangka panjang dikarenakan penerapan tarif impor kedelai di Indonesia selama periode tahun 2000-2017 tidak diberlakukan secara berkelanjutan. Maka pemerintah perlu memberlakukan tarif impor yang optimal dan tidak melewati batas tarif WTO sebesar 27 persen terhadap kedelai impor secara berkelanjutan.

Judul: Hydrothermal Synthesis of Biphasic Calcium Posphate
Abstrak: Biphasio calsium phosphate (BCP), which was a mixture of hydroxypatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), was synthesized by hydrothermal method followed by sintering process. Hydroxyapatite was produced by using natural calcium source CaO from hen's eggshell and (NH4)2HPO4 as phosphate souce, other hydroxyapatite sample was produce by using synthetic calcium source Ca(OH) and H3PO4 as phosphate source.
