Judul: Clarification of Coconut Syrup with the Addition of Milk as a Binding Agent of Insoluble Materials
Abstrak: Produk sirup kelapa yang diproduksi oleh Koperasi W didistribusikan dan diekspor hingga ke luar negeri. Salah satu tantangan yang dihadapi pabrik adalah adanya endapan pada produk setelah penyimpanan. Upaya yang telah dilakukan yaitu menggunakan penyaring vakum dalam proses penyaringan, namun belum dapat menghasilkan sirup kelapa tanpa endapan. Proyek ini bertujuan mencegah terbentuknya endapan pada sirup kelapa selama penyimpanan produk setelah dikemas. Penghilangan endapan dilakukan menggunakan metode koagulasi-flokulasi dengan menambahkan koagulan berupa susu steril atau murni pada proses pemasakan nira, sehingga mempermudah proses penyaringan bahan yang tidak larut dalam nira kelapa. Penambahan susu 0,4% (v/v) pada pemasakan pertama nira tidak menghasilkan endapan, memiliki tingkat kesukaan panelis yang lebih tinggi pada uji organoleptik serta memiliki tingkat kekentalan dan proksimat yang tidak jauh berbeda dengan produk yang dihasilkan oleh pabrik. Kata kunci: endapan, koagulan, sirup kelapa, Coconut syrup products produced by the W Cooperative are distributed and exported overseas. One of the challenges facing factories is the presence of deposits on the product after storage. Efforts have been made, namely using a vacuum filter in the filtering process, but have not been able to produce coconut syrup without sediment. This project aims to prevent the formation of deposits in coconut syrup during product storage after packaging. The removal of precipitates is carried out using the coagulation-flocculation method by adding a coagulant in the form of sterile or pure milk in the sap cooking process, thus facilitating the process of filtering materials that are not soluble in coconut sap. The addition of 0.4% (v/v) milk in the first cooking of the sap did not produce a precipitate, had a higher level of preference by the panelists in the organoleptic test and had a viscosity and proximate level that was not much different from the product produced by the factory.

Judul: Strategy and Business Development Model for Coconut Liquid Sugar (Syrup) Products at Koperasi W Purworejo
Abstrak: Produk gula cair (sirup) kelapa memiliki peluang ekspor dan pasar dalam negeri yang baik. Produk sirup kelapa lebih praktis digunakan dan lebih sehat karena dibuat secara organik. Produk gula cair hasil produksi dari Koperasi W masih memiliki kekurangan, karena adanya endapan pada produk gula cair (sirup) kelapa setelah penyimpanan beberapa hari. Perbaikan proses telah berhasil dilakukan, sehingga prospek pasar dalam negeri dan pasar ekspor cukup besar, namun perlu perbaikan-perbaikan sebagai upaya pengembangan model bisnis yang berkelanjutan dengan memperhatikan faktor lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi faktor internal dan eksternal lingkungan bisnis menggunakan matriks evaluasi faktor internal dan eksternal (IFE dan EFE), merumuskan strategi alternatif menggunakan matriks SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats), mengambil keputusan strategi yang dijalankan melalui penilaian Quanititative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), dan merencanakan model bisnis berkelanjutan dengan menggunakan pendekatan Business Model Canvas (BMC). Hasil prioritas utama dari penilaian QSPM berdasarkan nilai Total Attractive Score (TAS) yang diperoleh sebesar 6,111. Koperasi W memiliki kekuatan utama yaitu keaslian dan kualitas yang baik, kelemahan utama yaitu teknologi dan pemeliharaan sumber daya alam masih rendah, peluang untuk memanfaatkan pasar untuk penjualan di luar negeri, dan ancaman utama dengan adanya keterbatasan pengetahuan teknologi untuk pemasaran. Alternatif strategi yang terpilih yaitu memanfaatkan peluang pasar dengan meningkatkan kapasitas produksi, menciptakan produk yang berkualitas dan asli melalui pengoptimalan sumber daya alam, kelimpahan bahan baku dan sumber daya manusia., Coconut liquid sugar (syrup) products have good export and domestic market opportunities. Coconut syrup products are more practical to use and healthier because they are made organically. Liquid sugar products produced by Koperasi W still have a weakness, due to the deposition of liquid sugar (syrup) coconut after several days of storage. Process improvements have been successfully carried out, so that the prospects for the domestic market and export market are quite large, but improvements are needed as an effort to develop a sustainable business model by taking into account environmental factors. The purpose of this study is to identify internal and external factors of the business environment using an evaluation matrix of internal and external factors (IFE and EFE), formulate alternative strategies using a SWOT matrix (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats), make strategic decisions that are carried out through an assessment of Quanititative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), and plan a sustainable business model using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) approach. The main priority result of the QSPM assessment based on the Total Attractive Score (TAS) score obtained is 6.111. Koperasi W has main strengths, namely authenticity and good quality, the main weakness is technology and maintenance of natural resources is still low, opportunities to take advantage of markets for overseas market, and the main threat is the limited knowledge of technology for marketing. The chosen alternative strategy is to take advantage of market opportunities by increasing production capacity, creating quality and original products through optimizing natural resources, abundance of raw materials and human resources.

Judul: Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping for Trait in Categorical Scale
Abstrak: Genes or regions on chromosome underlying a quantitative trait are called Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL). Characterizing genes controlling quantitative trait on their position in chromosome and their effect on trait is through a process called QTL mapping. In estimating the QTL position and its effect, QTL mapping basically utilize the association between QTL and DNA markers. However, many important traits are obtained in categorical scale, such as resistance from certain disease. From a theoretical point of view, QTL mapping method assuming continuous trait could not be applied to categorical trait. This research was focusing on the assessment of the performance of Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Regression (REG) approach employed in QTL mapping as well as the performance of Lander and Botstein (LB) and Piepho method in determining critical value in testing the existence of QTL for binary and ordinal trait by means of simulation study. The simulation study to evaluate the performance of ML and REG approach was conducted by taking into account several factors that may affecting the performance of both approaches. The factors are: (1) marker density; (2) QTL effect; (3) sample size; (4) shape of phenotypic distribution; (5) number of categories; and (6) number of QTL. Moreover, the simulation study for evaluating LB and Piepho method in determining critical value was conducted by generating distribution of the test statistic under null hypothesis. From simulation study, it was obtained that LB and Piepho method showing similar performance in determining critical value in testing the existence of QTL for binary and ordinal trait. The simulation study also indicating that both methods could be used in determining critical value in QTL mapping analysis for binary trait as well as for ordinal trait if the REG approach is used but not if ML approach is used due to their poor performance. In assessing the performance of ML and REG approach in QTL mapping analysis for binary trait, the two approaches showing comparable performance; whereas for ordinal trait REG approach showing poor performance compared with ML approach in estimating thresholds. As a result, in QTL mapping analysis, ML and REG approach could be used when dealing with binary trait, whereas ML approach is suggested when dealing with ordinal trait.
