Judul: Determining Unit Link Term Life Insurance Net Single Premium Using the Compound Annual Ratchet Method
Abstrak: Asuransi unit link merupakan salah satu bentuk asuransi jiwa modern yang memberikan dua manfaat, yakni manfaat kematian dan manfaat investasi bagi tertanggung. Penghitungan premi dilakukan dengan mengasumsikan instrumen investasi yang digunakan berupa saham serta suku bunga konstan selama periode asuransi. Namun, pada keadaan sesungguhnya, instrumen investasi yang digunakan dapat berupa sebuah portofolio investasi yang terdiri atas berbagai instrumen investasi yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan asuransi serta suku bunga bervariasi. Tujuan karya ilmiah ini adalah menentukan besaran premi tunggal bersih dari asuransi jiwa berjangka unit link menggunakan metode pengindeksan saham compound annual ratchet pada empat skenario berbeda di mana tingkat cap dan tingkat floor divariasikan. Hasil penghitungan memberikan empat nilai premi tunggal bersih untuk masing-masing skenario. Secara keseluruhan, peningkatan tingkat floor dari 0% menjadi 3% memberikan nilai premi tunggal bersih yang lebih tinggi, sedangkan peningkatan tingkat cap dari 9% menjadi 12% memberikan nilai premi tunggal bersih yang lebih tinggi, tetapi kurang signifikan., The unit link insurance is one of the modern forms of life insurance that provides two benefits, namely death benefits and investment benefits for the insured. The calculation of the premiums is based on the assumption that the investment instruments used are equities and constant interest rates during the insurance period. However, in actual circumstances, the investment instrument used may be an investment portfolio consisting of different investments owned by the insurance company as well as varying interest rates. This scientific paper aims to determine the net single premium of life insurance unit link using the indexing method of compound annual ratchet stocks in four scenarios where the cap and floor values vary. The calculation results give net single premium values for each scenario. Overall, an increase in the floor level from 0% to 3% yields a higher net single premium value while an increase in the cap level rate from 9% to 12% gives a higher but less significant net single premium value.

Judul: Premi Tunggal Bersih Asuransi Jiwa Berjangka Unit Link Menggunakan Metode Point-to-Point dengan Manfaat Bervariasi
Abstrak: Karya ilmiah ini membahas asuransi jiwa berjangka 20-tahun unit link menggunakan metode Point-to-Point dengan manfaat bervariasi. Asuransi unit link adalah jenis asuransi modern yang menggabungkan unsur proteksi kematian dengan unsur investasi. Metode Point-to-Point adalah metode pengindeksan manfaat investasi asuransi unit link di mana tingkat pengembalian investasi hanya dipengaruhi oleh harga saham pada waktu awal dan akhir investasi. Premi tunggal bersih dihitung menggunakan prinsip kesetaraan. Berdasarkan asumsi bahwa peserta asuransi berjenis kelamin laki-laki berusia 30 tahun, manfaat kematian 10 tahun pertama berbeda dengan manfaat kematian 10 tahun berikutnya, tingkat bunga bebas risiko sebesar 3,5%, tingkat partisipasi 80%, tingkat pengembalian premi 90%, nilai cap (batas atas return investasi yang ditanggung) 20%, garansi minimum return investasi 5%, dan investasi pada saham PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (TLKM), maka dapat dihitung besar premi tunggal bersihnya., This scientific paper studies about a 20-years term life unit link insurance using the Point-to-Point method with varied benefit. Unit link insurance is a modern type of insurance which combine death protection and investment.

Judul: Physicochemical Properties of Fermented Cocoa Pulp and Its Ability on Starch Digestion Inhibition: In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion Analysis
Abstrak: Cocoa, a fruit consumed globally, is rich in bioactive compounds associated with numerous health benefits. This study investigated the chemical composition and functional properties of fermented cocoa pulp, as well as its capacity to inhibit starch digestion through in vitro gastrointestinal analysis. Cocoa pods underwent natural fermentation, producing cocoa pulp samples analyzed over the course of a week. The total phenol content reached its peak on day 7 at 294.94 µg GAE/mL, accompanied by high antioxidant activity. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detected the presence of acetic acid, reaching its peak on day 6. Ethanol content increased until day 7 (2.43 ppm). Statistical analyses confirmed significant daydependent effects. Fermentation time showed a positive correlation with αglucosidase and α-amylase inhibition, indicating potential for diabetes management. In vitro digestion analysis revealed decreased starch digestibility with longer fermentation, reaching optimal levels at around 60 minutes, providing insights for cocoa processing optimization.
