Judul: Faktor-Faktor Yang Memengaruhi Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja Pada Subsektor Industri Alas Kaki Dan Implikasi Kebijakan Bagi Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Provinsi Jawa Timur merupakan daerah sentra industri alas kaki yang merupakan industri padat karya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktorfaktor yang dapat memengaruhi penyerapan tenaga kerja pada subsektor industri alas kaki di Jawa Timur serta memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan kepada Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur mengenai ketenagakerjaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode panel data dan data yang digunakan adalah 11 kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Jawa Timur yang terdapat industri alas kaki dengan periode analisis tahun 2001-2012. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah produksi dan jumlah unit industri berpengaruh positif, sedangkan Upah Minimum Kabupaten/Kota (UMK), investasi asing, dan investasi domestik memiliki pengaruh yang negatif. Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur perlu mendorong penyerapan tenaga kerja dengan menerapkan kebijakan antara lainmenetapkan upah minimum berdasarkan klasifikasi industri, mengarahkan investasi untuk pendirian perusahaan baru, penyediaan bahan baku alas kaki dari dalam negeri, memudahkan pengurusan izin usaha, serta pembebasan pajak sementara bagi perusahaan baru.

Judul: The analysis of factors affecting employment of industries sector in east java province 2001-2011
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Provinsi JawaTimur dengan menggunakan data panel 37 kabupaten di Jawa Timur dari tahun 2001-2011. Variabel bebas yang digunakan adalah Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) riil sektor industri, Upah minimum Kabupaten (UMK), dan jumlah industri di setiap kabupaten yang dianalisis. Sedangkan variabel terikat adalah jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi berganda data panel dengan Fix Effect Model (FEM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa UMK dan jumlah industri berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Jawa Timur, sedangkan PDRB riil sektor industri tidak berpengaruh signifikan. UMK berhubungan negatif dengan jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri, sedangkan jumlah unit industri berhubungan positif., The aim of this reasearch is to anlyze the factors affecting Employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province using panel data from 37 regencies in east java from 2001 to 2011. The independent variable used the real Regional Gross Domectic Product (GDP) of industries sector, minimum wages, and the total of industries in east java. The employment of industries sector were used as dependent variable. The methode used descriptive analysis and regression of panel data using Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The result indicate that minimum wage and the total of industries influence the employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province significantly, while the real regional GDP of industries sector unsignificantly. Minimum wage has negatif relation and the total of industries has positive relation to dependent variable.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
