Judul: Respon Konsumen Terhadap Bauran Pemasaran Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang
Abstrak: Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang merupakan pelaku usaha lapis talas yang pertama di kota Bogor. Berhasil menciptakan produk olahan talas menjadi keunikan tersendiri yang sangat diminati oleh wisatawan dan warga sekitar. Hal tersebut mengundang pelaku usaha baru untuk melakukan bisnis di industri lapis talas. Banyaknya pelaku usaha di industri lapis talas dapat meningkatkan persaingan sehingga dibutuhkan strategi bauran pemasaran dalam menghadapi persaingan. Penelitian ini meneliti respon konsumen terhadap bauran pemasaran yang ditawarkan Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang. Data dikumpulkan dari 115 konsumen yang dipilih secara sengaja. Respon konsumen terhadap kepentingan dan kinerja bauran pemasaran diukur dengan skala Linkert. Data dianalisis menggunakan Important Performance Analysis (IPA) dan Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kinerja bauran pemasaran belum maksimal diimplementasikan di Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang. Implikasi manajerial dalam upaya memaksimumkan kinerja bauran pemasaran perlu mengevaluasi kinerja pada bauran pemasaran harga dan promosi. Pada akhirnya bukan tidak mungkin kinerja tersebut akan memengaruhi peningkatan konsumen.

Judul: Analisis Perilaku dan Kepuasan Konsumen dalam Proses Keputusan Pembelian Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang
Abstrak: RACHMINA Lapis Bogor Sangkuriang (LBS) merupakan perusahaan yang memproduksi bolu lapis dan brownies sebagai oleh-oleh khas Bogor yang menghadapi persoalan terhadap keluhan konsumennya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengkaji karakteristik dari konsumen LBS, mengidentifikasi proses keputusan pembelian konsumen LBS dan menganalisis tingkat kepentingan dan tingkat kinerja serta kepuasan konsumen terhadap atribut LBS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karakteristik konsumen LBS terdiri dari laki-laki dan perempuan dengan jumlah yang relatif seimbang dengan sebagian besar konsumen berusia antara 17-55 tahun berpendidikan sarjana dan SMA, bekerja sebagai pegawai swasta dan mahasiswa, berpendapatan antara Rp.1.500.000-2.500.000 serta bertempat tinggal di Bogor. Proses keputusan consumer satisfeddimulai dari pengenalan kebutuhan, yaitu alasan utama konsumen membeli LBS, sumber informasi konsumen mengenai LBS, evaluasi alternatif terhadap pembelian LBS, pembelian dan hasil dari tahapan proses keputusan pembelian LBS. Nilai Customer Satisfaction Index dari LBS adalah sebesar 76 % atau 0,76 yang menunjukkan bahwa secara umum konsumen LBS merasa puas terhadap atribut-atribut yang dianalisis.

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.
