Judul: The Impact of Halal Label Perception towards Purchase Decision of Imported Processed Food Products (A Case Study of Generation Z Muslim in Bogor Regency)
Abstrak: Produk makanan olahan impor kini semakin banyak beredar di Indonesia, namun belum semua produk makanan olahan impor sudah memiliki label halal. Hal ini membuat konsumen Muslim perlu meningkatkan selektivitas dalam membeli produk makanan olahan impor yang halal dan layak untuk dikonsumsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh religiusitas, kelompok acuan, pendapatan, gaya hidup, dan persepsi label halal terhadap keputusan pembelian produk makanan olahan impor pada generasi ZMuslim di Kabupaten Bogor dengan mengambil responden sebanyak 100 responden. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis Structural Equation ModelingPartial Least Square (SEM-PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok acuan, pendapatan, gaya hidup, dan persepsi label halal berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian makanan olahan impor., Nowadays, imported processed food products are increasingly distributed in Indonesia, however not all of them have been halal labelled. Due to this condition, Muslim consumers need to increase selectivity in buying imported processed food products which guaranteed the halal status and suitable for consumption. This study aims to analyze the effect of religiosity, reference group, income, lifestyle, and perceptions of halal labels on purchasing decision of imported processed food products in 100 respondents of Generation Z Muslim who lived at Bogor Regency. This study used descriptive analysis method and data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of this study indicate that the reference group, income, lifestyle, and perception of the halal label had a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions of imported processed foods.

Judul: Factors That Influence The Purchase Decision of Generation Z Muslims towards Non Halal Labeled Cosmetic Products in Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Produk halal memiliki peran penting di Indonesia, termasuk dalam industri kosmetik. Namun, tidak semua produk kosmetik yang beredar di Indonesia memiliki label halal dari Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan pembelian generasi Z Muslim terhadap produk kosmetik tanpa label halal di Kabupaten Bogor. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 100 responden yang mewakili generasi Z di Kabupaten Bogor, Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dengan skala Likert, dan analisis data menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa citra merek, kualitas produk, dan media sosial secara signifikan memengaruhi keputusan pembelian generasi Z Muslim terhadap produk kosmetik tanpa label halal. Namun, religiusitas dan halal awareness tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan., Halal products have an important role in Indonesia, including in the cosmetic industry. However, not all cosmetic products circulating in Indonesia have a halal label from Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI). This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the purchasing decisions of Muslim Z generations for cosmetic products without a halal label in Bogor Regency. The research sample consisted of 100 respondents representing Generation Z in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Data was collected through a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and data analysis used multiple linear regression. The result found that brand image, product quality, and social media significantly influence the purchase decision of Muslim Z generation for cosmetic products without a halal label. However, religiosity and halal awareness do not have a significant effect

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.
