Abstrak: Kegiatan magang dilaksanakan di Kwekerij Figaro selama empat bulan, mulai 1 Maret hingga 31 Juni 2023. Kegiatan magang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mahasiswa secara teknis dan manajerial khususnya dalam budidaya, penanganan panen dan pascapanen daun potong Asparagus umbellatus, Philodendron xanadu, dan Phlebodium aureum yang terdapat di Kwekerij Figaro. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan magang adalah metode langsung dengan melakukan pengamatan secara langsung di lapang serta mengikuti semua kegiatan teknis budidaya tanaman hias daun mulai dari penanaman sampai pascapanen. Metode tidak langsung dilakukan dengan mempelajari data sekunder, berupa arsip perusahaan, laporan perusahaan dan studi psustaka. Berdasarkan hasil kegiatan magang diketahui bahwa tanaman hias daun dibudidayakan di dalam greenhouse agar dapat disesuaikan dengan suhu optimal dan kondisi pertumbuhan untuk tanaman. Total luas lahan greenhouse perusahaan seluas 21.200 m², dengan pembagian area produksi Asparagus umbellatus seluas 8.800 m² (41,5%) dapat memproduksi hingga sebanyak 86.650 tangkai dalam periode 1 bulan, Philodendron xanadu sebesar 1920 m² dapat memproduksi hingga sebanyak 50.480 tangkai dalam periode 1 bulan, dan Phlebodium aureum sebesar 480 m² dapat memproduksi hingga sebanyak 12.200 tangkai dalam periode 1 bulan. Setelah panen, daun potong disimpan dalam cooling room pada suhu 12℃. Kualitas daun potong yang dihasilkan oleh Kwekerij Figaro serta rantai pemasaran yang baik membuat 99,40% produksi dapat dipasarkan. Setelah mengikuti kegiatan magang ini, mahasiswa mendapat keterampilan teknik budidaya, panen dan pasca panen khususnya penentuan kriteria panen, pembuatan buket Asparagus umbellatus dan alur produksi ketiga spesies daun potong., The internship was conducted at Kwekerij Figaro for four months, from March 1 to June 31, 2023. The internship aimed to improve students' knowledge and skills technically and managerially, especially in cultivation, harvest handling and postharvest of cut foliage of Asparagus umbellatus, Philodendron xanadu, and Phlebodium aureum at Kwekerij Figaro. The method used in internship activities was direct method by making direct observations in the field and following all technical activities of leaf ornamental crop cultivation from planting to postharvest. The indirect method is carried out by studying secondary data, in the form of company archives, company reports, and literature studies. Based on the results of internship activities, it is known that ornamental plants are cultivated in the greenhouse to provide optimal temperature and growing condition for the crops. The total area of the company's greenhouse is 21.200 m², with the division of Asparagus umbellatus production area of 8.800 m² (41,5%) can produce up to 86.650 stems, Philodendron xanadu of 1.920 m² can produce up to 50.480 stems, and Phlebodium aureum of 480 m² can produce up to 12.200 stems, all in a period of 1 month. After harvesting, cut leaves are stored in a cooling room at 12°C. The good quality of cut leaves produced by Kwekerij Figaro and a good marketing chain make 99,40% of production marketable. After participating in this internship, students obtained skills in cultivation, harvesting and post-harvest techniques, specifically in determining harvesting criterias, Asparagus umbellatus bouquet making and production flows of the three species of cut foliage.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
