Judul: Persepsi Peran Zakat Terhadap Keberlangsungan Studi Mahasiswa IPB (Kasus Pendayagunaan Zakat UPZ LAZ IPB).
Abstrak: Banyak remaja yang setelah lulus dari sekolah menengah umum (SMU) tidak mampu melanjutkan pendidikannya ke perguruan tinggi karena keterbatasan ekonomi. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya upaya dari pemerintah dan masyarakat terhadap keberlangsungan pendidikan, salah satunya melalui pemberian beasiswa. Salah satu Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) yang memberikan bantuan pendidikan berupa beasiswa di perguruan tinggi adalah UPZ LAZ IPB. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan perkembangan zakat UPZ LAZ IPB, menganalisis persepsi peran zakat terhadap keberlangsungan studi mustahik, serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB. Metode regresi logistik digunakan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keberlangsungan studi mustahik. Hasil analisis dengan regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa besar bantuan dan IPK berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB, sedangkan status bekerja berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB.

Judul: Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi preferensi pegawai berzakat di UPZ LAZ IPB
Abstrak: The goal of Government Regulation Decree No 14/ 2014 is to help BAZNAS for zakat collectioning by forming zakat collector unit in government institution, one of them is in higher education campusses to collect income zakat from their officers. Zakat Collector Unit of Amil Zakat Institution of Bogor Agricultural University (UPZ LAZ IPB) was established at 2003 but until now this institution (UPZ LAZ IPB) has not been so wellknown by IPB students, officers, and lecturers. The aims of this research is to describe the development of income’s zakat of officers and describe factors influencing of officers to pay income’s zakat in Zakat Collector Unit of Amil Zakat Institution of Bogor Agricultural University (UPZ LAZ IPB). This research was conducted from April 2014 to June 2014. Logistic regression conducted to analyze the factors that affect officers to pay zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB. The result of logistic regression showed that service and job position was significanly affect the employees to pay their income zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB, and the reason why the officers do not pay zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB is the easy way of paying zakat directly to mustahik.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
