Judul: Dampak Simulasi Kebijakan Redistribusi Lahan terhadap Perekonomian Indonesia.
Abstrak: This study aims to simulate the impact of the land redistribution policy to the Indonesian economy. A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and Microsimulation Model is developed and exersiced to analysis the impacts of land redistribution to income distribution, productions and poverty. Based on 2008 Indonesian Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and National Socio-Economic Household Survey (SUSENAS) 2008 data set; the land redistribution simulation show that land redistribution have the potential of generating economic growth, poverty and income inequality reduction. Land redistribution expected to affect household income structur and subject to household consumption composition changes. This changes implicitly shows that there are some changes in demand of consumption goods which will be responded by firms by changing the composition of their output. The results suggest that land redistribution will raise Indonesian GDP growth. Furthermore, the changes in income structure of each household particularly improved the condition of poverty level and income distribution in Indonesia. It is shown by the decrease in three poverty indicators (i.e. headcount index, poverty gap ratio and severity index) and income distribution indicator which is in line with land redistribution policy.

Judul: The impact of human resource investment and income transfer on income distribution and poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Income distribution disparity and household poverty have been crucial problems in Indonesia. Various efforts have been conducted by the Indonesian government to solve these problems, such as by increasing human resource investment and income transfer to household. The research objectives are to analyze impacts of human resource investment and income transfer to household on income distribution and poverty in Indonesia. It was being analyzed an econometric model, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, Beta Distribution Function and Foster-Greer- Thorbecke (FGT) method. Table of Indone sian Input-Output in 2003, Table of Indonesian Social Accounting Matrix in 2003, and database of National Social Economic Survey (SUSENAS) in 2002 were used in the analysis. Policy simulations conducted are (1) human resour ce investment for education and health sectors, and (2) income transfer from government to household group in the rural area.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
