Abstrak: This research aimed to study the competitiveness of downstream products of palm oil in Indonesia. The study is focused on two main products i.e. crude palm oil (HS code 151110) and refined palm oil (HS 151190). Export data of palm oil Indonesia and Malaysia to four main exporting countries namely: China, Pakistan, India, and Netherland were used to estimate competitiveness using CMSA method. The recommended strategy was built from IE matrix, SWOT analysis and AHP. The result of CMSA show that Indonesian palm oil was competitive in export growth, while Malaysia was more competitive in distribution, composition, and competitiveness. Based on IE matrix it was found 2.56 of IFE and 3.20 of EFE those values shows that palm oil of Indonesia was in “grow and build” stage. SWOT analysis result shows that developing strategy for downstream industry of palm oil in Indonesia are i) developing specialization in oleochemical industry, ii) developing industry cluster, iii) monitoring the implementation of ISPO, and iv) developing specialization in biofuel industry. AHP vertical analysis result show that the most recomended strategy is developing specialization in oleochemical industry.

Abstrak: The objective of this research is to compare competitiveness of palm oil between Indonesia and Malaysia and to analysis strategy for Indonesia. Based on RSCA analysis, competitiveness of Indonesian for crude palm oil / CPO HS code (151110) from 2001 to 2012 is better than Malaysia. However, for processed palm oil HS code (151190) of Indonesian is not competitive at all. Based on the IFE and EFE analysis, Indonesia is in a strong position. While based on IE analysis, Indonesia is in the second cell that means “grows and builds”. Based on SWOT analysis, Indonesia has some strategies and then these strategies are analyzed by AHP. Based on AHP analysis, competitiveness strategy is most affected by the nature, human resource, and environment factors of Indonesia (0.260). The dominant actor in the competitiveness strategy is palm oil businessmen (0.183). The most goal to be achieved in the implementation of competitiveness strategy is to increase palm oil export (0.314), and the alternative strategy of competitiveness that should be the main priority is to optimizing palm oil plantations (0.286).

Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
