Judul: Factors that Influence Participation in Halal Self Declare in Baleendah District
Abstrak: Halal self declare merupakan dukungan pemerintah bagi usaha mikro dan kecil (UMK) agar memiliki daya saing dalam industri halal. UMK mendapat perhatian khusus karena terbukti memiliki dampak signifikan bagi perekonomian Indonesia. Kendati demikian, halal self declare masih belum maksimal dimanfaatkan. Per Mei 2023, program sertifikasi skema self declare tahap ketiga baru mencapai 8,9% dari 1 juta target. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keikutsertaan dalam halal self declare di Kecamatan Baleendah. Kecamatan Baleendah dipilih karena merupakan kecamatan dengan populasi dan penduduk muslim terbanyak di Kabupaten Bandung. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan regresi logistik. Hasil analisis regresi logistik menunjukkan variabel religiusitas, sosialisasi, dan bantuan berpengaruh positif signifikan, sementara variabel lama usaha memiliki pengaruh signifikan yang negatif terhadap keikutsertaan halal self declare UMK. Implikasi kebijakan yang dapat dilaksanakan adalah mendorong lebih banyak sosialisasi, bantuan, serta pemberlakuan teguran bagi UMK yang belum melaksanakan halal self declare., Halal self declare represents government support for micro and small enterprises (SMEs) to enhance their competitiveness in the halal industry. SMEs receive special attention due to their significant impact on Indonesia's economy. However, the utilization of halal self declare remains suboptimal. As of May 2023, the third halal self declare certification program had only reached 8.9% of its 1 million targets. This research aims to analyze the factors influencing participation in halal self declare in the Baleendah district. Baleendah district was chosen because it has the largest Muslim population in Bandung Regency. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and logistic regression. The logistic regression analysis results indicated that religiosity, socialization, and assistance variables had a significant positive impact, while the variable length of business had a significant negative impact on SMEs participation in halal self declare. Policy implications that can be implemented include increasing socialization, assistance, and the implementation of warnings for SMEs that have not yet implemented halal self declare.

Judul: Niat dan Perilaku Pelaku Usaha Mikro dan Kecil
(UMK) Terhadap Halal Self Declare (Studi Kasus: Halal Science Center IPB).
Abstrak: Berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah nomor 39 tahun 2021, halal self declare adalah skema pengajuan sertifikasi halal bagi UMK dengan produk berbahan baku bukan daging. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi niat dan perilaku pelaku UMK terhadap halal Self Declare. Model acuan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan theory of planned behavior (TPB) yang telah dimodifikasi. Penentuan responden dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Populasi responden merupakan semua pelaku UMK yang sudah memiliki sertifikat halal melalui Halal Science Center (HSC) IPB. Pengumpulan data dari responden menggunakan kuesioner yang disebarkan secara langsung dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan SEM-PLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel attitude, kesadaran halal, dan religiusitas berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat halal self declare. Variabel yang berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap perilaku self declare adalah perceived behavioral control dan niat halal self declare., Based on Government Regulations number 39 of 2021, halal self declare is a scheme for applying a halal certification for MSEs with products made from non-meat raw materials. This research aims to analyze the characteristics and factors which influence the intention and behavior of SMEs toward halal self declare. A modification reference model from the theory of planned behavior is applied in this research. In this study, the respondents were determined using a purposive sampling technique. The respondent population were all MSE actors who already had halal certificates through Halal Science Center (HSC) IPB. Data collection from respondents using questionnaires distributed directly and analyzed using descriptive analysis and SEM-PLS. The results showed that the variables of attitude, halal awareness, and religiosity had a positive and significant effect on halal self declare intentions. The variables that have a positive and significant effect on halal self declare behavior are perceived behavioral control and halal self declare intention.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
