Judul: Penentuan Komposisi Larutan Holding Untuk Bunga Potong Pink Ginger (Alpinia Purpurata)
Abstrak: Pink ginger (Alpinia Purpurata) flower had a good prospect as cut flower .. Pink ginger quality as cut flower was a determine factor in the marketing process. Holding solution as lasting potion for the flower in a vas was one of the post harvest treatment in order to maintain the freshness and the quality of the cut flowers. Holding solution as lasting potion basically contain of three components, which were carbohydrate (sugar) as nutrition source, tamarind and material that able to prohibit microorganism expansion (germicide). The objective of this research was to obtain holding solution that extended vase life of the pink ginger cut flower (Alpinia purpurata).

Judul: Effectivity of Several Holding Solutions on Hydrangea macrophylla L. Vase Life
Abstrak: Hydrangea sebagai bunga potong memiliki umur simpan yang relatif lebih singkat dibandingkan dengan bunga lainnya. Salah satu perlakuan pascapanen yang dapat dilakukan adalah penggunaan larutan penyimpan. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui larutan penyimpan yang dapat memperpanjang umur simpan bunga hydrangea menggunakan larutan komersial (Chrysal dan Floralife) serta beberapa larutan buatan berupa berbagai kombinasi asam sitrat dan sukrosa. Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan faktor tunggal berupa larutan penyimpan yang terdiri atas akuades (P0), Chrysal (P1), Floralife (P2) serta kombinasi asam sitrat 300 ppm dan sukrosa 3% (P3). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa larutan penyimpan buatan dengan kombinasi asam sitrat 300 ppm dan sukrosa 3% dengan pH 3,5 memiliki efektivitas penggunaan larutan yang serupa terhadap larutan penyimpan komersial, khususnya dalam memperpanjang umur simpan dan menjaga warna bunga., Hydrangea as cut flowers has a relatively shorter vase life compared to other flowers. One of the postharvest technologies to extend the vase life of Hydrangea flowers is by using holding solutions. This research was aimed to prolong the vase life of Hydrangea macrophylla using commercially available solutions (Chrysal and Floralife) and several made up solutions containing different concentration of citric acid and sucrose. The experiment was set up in a completely randomised design (CRD) with holding solutions as a single factor, i.e. aquadest (P0), Chrysal (P1), Floralife (P2), and combination between 300 ppm citric acid and 3% sucrose (P3). The result shows that the made-up solution containing 300 ppm citric acid and 3% sucrose with a pH of 3.5 has similar effectivity as commercially available solutions, especially in extending the vase life and maintaining the flower color.

Judul: Dynamic New Keynesian Model for Unemployment and Inflation Rate.
Abstrak: This paper deals with a scientific analysis of the equilibrium level of hiring, employment and unemployment. The basic model being used is a standard new Keynesian model, which states that utility function depends on consumptions and working hours. Utility maximization refers to a standard labour supply equation, with the marginal cost’s dynamics on new Keynesian model simply reflects movements in real wages and productivity. Furthermore, trade-off between output and inflation stabilization can be considered using the new Keynesian Phillips curve. Dynamic general equilibrium model is a model that can be used to study interactions between market imperfections and nominal rigidities, which is capable of overcoming the main shortcoming of the standard new Keynesian model. In the general equilibrium model there are three groups of the economy agents, namely households, firms and monetary authority. The results of this research science that bargaining processes between firms and workers will yield optimal wage. Increase in labour will cause wages to fall, but the unemployment rate can be reduced. An increase in the firm’s monopoly power will shift the labour demand curve downward, which will reduce the number of workers that firm is willing to hire for any given bargained wage.
