Judul: Korupsi, Kesejahteraan Sosial, dan Investasi : Studi Empiris di Delapan Negara Kawasan ASEAN Tahun 2000-2009
Abstrak: ASEAN has become the second largest regional power after the European Union. ASEAN's collective economic growth reached 7.5 percent, the flow of investment and human development which increased from year to year is the economic development and achievements of ASEAN during the crisis sweeping the world. But behind it all, there are internal problems that overshadow public sector ASEAN region, one of which is corruption. Corruption is the abuse of public office for private gain and causing high cost economy. This study analyzed the determinant of corruption and its impact on social welfare and investment in eight countries of ASEAN by using Panel Data Static. Factors that influence significantly positive effect on freedom from corruption is economic freedom, the quality of governance, GDP per capita and the dummy British colony. Political freedom (democracy) negative effect on corruption. Components of economic freedom and macroeconomic indicators that influence freedom from corruption was significantly and positively in business freedom, monetary freedom, private property rights, government spending and GDP per capita. Fiscal freedom has negative impact. Components of the quality of governance and political freedom (democracy) that positively affect the level of corruption is voice and accountability, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, corruption control, political freedoms, civil rights and freedoms. This study also empirically proves that corruption is significantly negative effect on social welfare (human development) and investment in ASEAN countries. Some suggestions from the macroeconomic indicators and economic freedom to reduce corruption is fundamentally strong political and social on freedom of business and investment freedom, oversight of using of public infrastructure development budgets, price controls, close supervision when a low level of tax, legal guarantees for private property rights, the government should work to improve people's living standards are reflected by an increase in GDP per capita. Suggestions of governance and democracy is maintain political stability, regulatory quality and attention to implementation mechanisms, strengthening and improving the quality of the rule of law and law enforcer, improve the control of corruption, guarantee public access to government information and freedom of the press by prohibiting censorship, and surveillance of democratic freedom to minimize potential adverse selection of public officials.

Judul: Perkembangan Pasar Saham, Perkembangan Perbankan dan Responnya Terhadap Korupsi pada Sembilan Negara Kawasan ASEAN +3
Abstrak: Banking and stock market are two financial institutions which play an important role in the development process. Many studies suggest that the development of banking and stock market are able to increase the economic growth. There are factors which influence the development of these two financial institutions, for example macroeconomic stability and institutional influences such as corruption. This study tries to see how corruption affects the development of banking and stock market and also tries to identify the factors that influence the development of banking, stock market, and corruption. This study uses panel data for nine countries of ASEAN +3 Region from 2003-2012. The variables used in this study are market capitalization (% of GDP), domestic credit to the private sektor (% of GDP), and corruption perception index (CPI). Another supporting variables are inflation, real interest rate, per capita income, economic growth, economic freedom, financial freedom, and total exports (% of GDP) . The result shows that corruption hinders the development of banking and stock market and banking development will reduce corruption.

Judul: Identifikasi Keragaman Morfologi dan Fitokimia Mutan Putatif Celosia cristata L. Hasil Iradiasi Sinar Gamma pada Generasi M3 dan M2V6
Abstrak: Celosia cristata L. atau bunga jengger ayam memiliki nilai estetik dan kandungan obat yang tinggi, sehingga memiliki potensi ekonomi yang besar baik bagi industri florikultura maupun industri fitokimia. Pengembangan budi daya jengger ayam dapat dilakukan dengan melakukan peningkatan kualitas tanaman, salah satunya melalui mutasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari keragaman morfologi dan fitokimia yang terjadi pada mutan putatif generasi M3 dan M2V6 hasil iradiasi sinar gamma serta mendapatkan mutan dengan karakter morfologi yang unik dan kandungan fitokimia yang tinggi. Induksi mutasi dengan iradiasi sinar gamma menyebabkan keragaman morfologi dan fitokimia. Mutan putatif Celosia mengalami perubahan tinggi tanaman menjadi lebih tinggi dan beberapa individu mutan menjadi lebih pendek. Keragaman bentuk batang yang ditemukan adalah bulat dan pipih, selain itu karakter warna pangkal batang pada beberapa mutan putatif menjadi lebih gelap dari tanaman kontrol dengan warna dark purple red 53B dan dark purple red 185B. Keragaman karakter daun yang ditemukan pada mutan putatif celosia adalah keragaman bentuk daun yaitu ovate, broad ovate, dan lanceolete to ovate. Keragaman bentuk juga terjadi pada bentuk bunga yaitu terdapat bentuk cristate, spicate, dan kumpulan cristate dan spicate. Mutan dengan perwakan yang pendek seperti G5.3 dan G7.1. berpotensi untuk dijadikan tanaman bedeng. Genotipe yang memiliki ukuran bunga besar dan tidak memiliki pembungaan lateral yaitu G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, dan G7 berpotensi untuk dijadikan tanaman bunga potong. Genotipe yang memiliki nilai rataan total fenolik tertinggi adalah G10 yaitu tanaman mutan yang berasal dari generasi M2V6 yang merupakan mutan generasi M2V6, sedangkan genotipe dengan nilai rataan total flavonoid tertinggi adalah G7 yang berasal dari generasi M3. Genotipe yang memiliki aktivitas antioksidan tertinggi adalah G10 yang merupakan mutan generasi M2V6.
