Judul: Aplikasi Peramalan Pergerakan Basis Kopi Robusta dalam Perdagangan Berjangka (Penerapan Metode Time Series)
Abstrak: Perkembangan harga kopi robusta yang fluktuatif, baik di pasar (fisik) Indonesia maupun di pasar internasional, menyebabkan tiap pelaku perdagangan kopi robusta akan terkena risiko harga. Sebagai negara produsen terbesar kopi robusta di dunia, Indonesia perlu menerapkan strategi untuk mengantisipasi masalali fluktuasi harga. Kerugian yang mungkin terjadi pada para pelaku perdagangan kopi akibat risiko harga dapat dikurangi dengan menerapkan manajemen risiko.

Judul: Bear Spreads Strategy Using Barrier Option to Hedge Robusta Coffee’s Prices
Abstrak: Adanya pandemi covid-19 yang belakangan ini dialami di beberapa negara khususnya di Indonesia, memiliki dampak yang cukup tinggi bagi perekonomian di Indonesia. Menurunnya permintaan kopi di Indonesia juga berpengaruh akibat adanya kebijakan pemerintah dalam pembatasan atau penutupan aktivitas (lockdown) di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, sehingga hal ini dapat mempengaruhi fluktuasi harga kopi khususnya kopi robusta di Indonesia. Lindung nilai menjadi solusi untuk menangani fluktuasi harga kopi robusta khususnya saat terjadinya penurunan harga kopi di masa depan. Opsi merupakan salah satu produk derivatif yang digunakan dalam aktifitas lindung nilai dan digunakan ke dalam berbagai strategi perdagangan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan dua strategi dalam melindungi investor dari penurunan harga, yaitu strategi bear spreads menggunakan opsi vanilla dan strategi bear spreads menggunakan opsi barrier. Opsi barrier yang digunakan ialah up and knock-out. Berdasarkan hasil penghitungan, strategi bear spreads menggunakan opsi barrier merupakan strategi lindung nilai terbaik dalam menghasilkan keuntungan terbesar yang memiliki arus kas awal lebih murah jika dibandingkan dengan strategi bear spreads menggunakan opsi vanilla., The covid-19 pandemic, which has recently been experienced in several countries, especially in Indonesia, has had a fairly high impact on the economy in Indonesia. The decline in coffee demand in Indonesia also has an effect due to government policies in limiting or closing activities (lockdown) in various regions in Indonesia, so this can be affecting fluctuations in coffee prices, especially robusta coffee in Indonesia. Hedging is a solution to deal with fluctuations in robusta coffee prices, especially during the decline in coffee prices in the future. Options are one of the derivative products used in hedging activities and are used in various trading strategies. In this study, two strategies were carried out in protecting investors from falling prices, namely the bear spreads strategy using vanilla options and the bear spreads strategy using the barrier option. The barrier options used are up and knock-out. Based on the calculation results, the bear spreads strategy using the barrier option is the best hedging strategy in making the largest profit that has initial cash flow is cheaper when compared to the bear spreads strategy of using vanilla options.

Judul: Isolation and Characterization of Protease Keratinolytic Enzyme in Water Monitor Lizard Intestine.
Abstrak: Protease enzyme isolated from mucosa layer in intestine water monitor lizard (Varanus salvator) showed proteolytic activity. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to isolate and characterize of protease produced by water monitor lizard intestine. The intestine mucous layer of water monitor lizard (2%) was dissolved in 50mM buffer phosphate pH 7,0, then centrifuged at 6000 G in 4 ºC temperature for 10 minute. The centrifuged extract was used to analyze the maximum enzyme activity by heating the extract at 45–65 ºC range temperature and 5–20 minute range time. Maximum enzyme activity analysis obtained at 55 ºC for 5 minute for the sample duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon respectively were 4, 3482 U/ml, 3,9247 U/ml, 3,9176 U/ml, and 3,0353 U/ml. Protease from extract enzyme has seven bands with molecular weight 66,54 kDa, 57,61 kDa, 48,94 kDa, 48,47 kDa, 36,80 kDa, 24,28 kDa, and 12,80 kDa. The enzyme has optimum temperature at 55 ºC and optimum at pH 9, and also inhibited by ion Ca2+ and Mg2+ . The in vitro analysis used chicken powder showed no keratinase activity.
