Judul: Mempelajari Sistem Sertifikasi Halal di Indonesia dan Malaysia, serta Pengembangan Model Sistem Sertifikasi Halal di Vietnam.
Abstrak: Halal certification in food production facility, food product, or slaughterhouse are an inspection of people, practices and products which is adhere to Islamic dietary laws by competent organization. Generally, halal certified get an specific seal or logo which indicates that it has been independently inspected. There are hundreds of organization around the world that offer halal certification services, though the exact definition of halal is not always same. These difference caused by the perception of halal certification methods for one organization is not the same with others. The objective of this study is analyze the differences of halal certification system in Indonesia and Malaysia, and an idea to establish halal certification system model in Vietnam. This study is conducted direct observation and analysis of official documents from halal certification body. Direct observation was conducted in LPPOM MUI. Official documents were obtained from LPPOM MUI, BHH JAKIM and CBI HCM office, and their official websites. The difference of halal certification system in Indonesia and Malaysia is observed in the halal certification procedure and halal assurance system. Model of halal certification system in Vietnam is proposed to include organizational structure, human resources, implementation methodology, halal assurance system and public policy.

Judul: Implementasi Sistem Sertifikasi Halal Berbagai Kategori Industri Pangan dan Uji Coba Implementasinya di Kantin Sapta- Fateta-IPB
Abstrak: Consuming halal food is a mandatory for every Muslim. For this reason, it is important for food producers to provide halal food. Demand of halal food increases significantly in line with the growth of Muslim population and the awareness of Muslim to consuming halal food. Due to the high population of Muslim around the world halal food production has become the concern of food industries in the last twenty years, including in Indonesia. The assurance of halal food production by food industries was done through certification process. In Indonesia, the process of halal certification was conducted by an independent agency under the Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI), namely the Institute for Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics (LPPOM MUI). Indonesia has become the pioneer in establishment of halal certification system. Currently LPPOM MUI has established Halal Certification Online Service System (CEROL-SS23000) in order to facilitate the registration of manufacturers and halal certification process. The objectives of this internship program was to study the halal certification system for various food industry categories conducted by LPPOM MUI, through the Certification Online Service System (CEROL system), and implementation through the preparation of halal certification in the catering Sapta-Fateta-IPB. The primer data was obtained through survey to some categories of food industries to evaluate Certification Online Service System (CEROL-SS23000) based on producer perception.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
