Judul: Analisis Beban Kerja dan Kebutuhan Pegawai Pada Sub Bidang Seleksi dan Pembibitan (Studi Kasus Pada Pusat Konservasi Tumbuhan kebun Raya Bogor – Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia)
Abstrak: Bureaucratic reform that leads to advanced change, requires effectively and efficiently human resources. Role of Selection and Breeding Sub Division in Center for Plant Conservation Bogor Botanical Gardens Indonesian Institute of Sciences is important because it is one of contributing factors to other sub divisions in order to coordinate related to preservation of plants life cycle so that every activity goes smoothly. Workload analysis needed to obtain employee on proportional workload as of 13 employees. This study aims to (1) Identify main tasks and functions of Principal of Selection and Breeding Sub Division. (2) Analyze working time usage (productive and unproductive) as well as personal time of Principal of Selection and Breeding Sub Division. (3) Analyze number of ideal employee needs of Selection and Breeding Sub Division based on workload analysis. Information comes from primary and secondary data. Primary data includes interview and direct observation using work sampling method. Meanwhile, secondary data is obtained by book, essay, thesis, journals, internet, and data of Center for Plant Conservation Bogor Botanical Gardens - Indonesian Institute of Sciences. Sampling method uses probability sampling with census technique. Analysis tool used in estimating ideal employee needs is working time and full time equivalent (FTE) technique. The results obtained are (1) Main tasks and functions analysis of Principal of Selection, Breeding, and Seeds Unit. (2) Working time usage. Productive and unproductive working time as of 13 employees and called P1 to P13. The highest productive level is employee P7 as of 81.21% as well as unproductive level is employee P6 as of 30.71%, both is in Breeding Sub Division. (3) Workload estimation. Selection and Breeding Sub Division already has number of ideal (Right Size) employee as of 13 employees. Its average value of FTE is 1,07 that is in acceptance range 1 to 1,3 (fit).

Judul: Analisis Perencanaan Kebutuhan Karyawan pada PT Serambi Botani Indonesia
Abstrak: PT Serambi Botani Indonesia merupakan perusahaan retail yang menyediakan produk-produk lokal berkonsep healthy and natural store bagi masyarakat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) menganalisis beban kerja yang ditanggung oleh karyawan; dan (2) menganalisis jumlah kebutuhan karyawan yang ideal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Full Time Equivalent (FTE) dan National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). Kedua metode ini menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh atau sensus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan waktu kerja SDM berdasarkan analisis beban kerja melalui perhitungan FTE pada PT Serambi Botani Indonesia masih belum optimal. Sehingga untuk mencapai jumlah karyawan dan aktivitas operasional yang efektif dan efisien, alternatif yang dapat dilakukan oleh perusahaan yaitu perekrutan karyawan baru di bagian Operational Manager, HR, Finance dan Marketing and Business Manager, Accounting, Kasir, dan Koordinator Product Management, job enlargement untuk bagian Staff Personalia, Admin Operasional, dan Admin Gudang, serta peningkatan kompetensi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis NASA-TLX, terdapat empat indikator yang berpengaruh bagi karyawan dalam aktivitas pekerjaan yaitu Mental Demand, Temporal Demand, Perfomance, dan Effort.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Natrium Alginat untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Composite of chitosan and sodium alginate can be utilized as base material of proton exchange membrane (PEM). The composite membranes were produced by various concentrations of chitosan-sodium alginate, namely 3:3, 3:4, 3:5, 3:6, 4:3, 5:3, and 6:3 (% b/v). The composites were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and were tested for the performance as PEM from the proton conductivity obtained by using impedance spectrometer. The FTIR spectrum indicated the NH3C group at 1637.29 cm-1 and symmetrical COO group at 1253.68 cm-1 indicating interactions between chitosan and sodium alginate. SEM micrographs showed that the composite membrane was nonporous. Composite membrane with 3:5 chitosan-sodium alginate composition had the highest proton conductivity, namely 9.594 × 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-sodium alginate composite membrane can be applied well in direct methanol fuel cell system.
