Studi Kasus pada Dana Desa di Provinsi Aceh, Indonesia.
Abstrak: Village funds is still a new fiscal policy that was initially launched in 2015 by the seventh president of Indonesia, “Joko Widodo”, as his pilot project. Some villages have significantly benefited from developments and improvements initiated by the policy. However, it also has been identified through various investigative analysis that not all village funds allocations transferred to local governments have been implemented effectively and efficiently. This research examines the relationship between the village funds allocations and poverty alleviation in Aceh province, Indonesia. Using a panel data model that provides random-effects estimations, it concludes the village funds allocations from the period of 2015 to 2018 cannot reduce the poverty rate in 23 regencies/municipalities in Aceh. Fiscal variables such as government expenditure and government own revenue have also shown a positive relationship with the poverty rate. Furthermore, with fixed-effects estimation, village funds allocations also show the same result of its relationship with the number of people living in poverty. Meanwhile, one fiscal variable, GDRP has a negative and significant relationship with the number of people living in poverty. Some social variables, such as education and population have also had significant and negative effects on the poverty rate and the number of people living in poverty.

Judul: Pengaruh Dana Desa dalam Pengentasan Kemiskinan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Kemiskinan merupakan permasalahan yang masih dihadapi di negara berkembang salah satunya Indonesia. Penurunan persentase tingkat kemiskinan Indonesia masih kurang dari 1% selama kurun waktu tahun 2014-2017. Persentase penduduk miskin Indonesia masih di dominasi di wilayah pedesaan. Berbagai program dari pemerintah telah diterapkan guna mengentaskan kemiskinan. Pada era pemerintahan Joko Widodo, pemerintah membuat suatu kebijakan baru sebagai upaya pengentasan kemiskinan di wilayah pedesaan yaitu mencanangkan sebuah Dana desa yang tertuang dalam Nawa Cita. Dana desa tersebut diberikan kepada setiap desa yang tersebar di seluruh Provinsi di Indonesia. Dalam implementasinya banyak contoh desa yang berhasil mengembangkan potensi di wilayahnya karena bantuan dari dana desa. Penelitian ini dibuat untuk melihat bagaimana pengaruh kinerja dana desa yang sudah berjalan selama 3 tahun dalam kurun waktu 2015-2017 untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan di 33 Provinsi di Indonesia dalam metode panel data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dana desa signifikan berpengaruh positif terhadap pengentasan kemiskinan di Indonesia.

Judul: Validation method for determination of apigenin in extract celery with high performance liquid chromatography
Abstrak: Apigenin is an active substance derived from celery (Apium graveolens) and widely used for the treatment of gout. Determination method of apigenin which have been validated was introduced by Frankee et al. J Food Compos Anal 17: 1-35 (2005). Apigenin analysis was done by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To make sure that HPLC analysis method can be used for the intended purpose then the method was validated. Parameters determined on method validation were linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, and accuracy. All parameters were in accordance with the acceptance criteria of Association of Official Analytical Chemist. The linearity in the concentration of 3,8; 5,7; and 7,6 mg/l had correlation coefficent of 0,9900–0,9998. limit of detection in this method was 2,7222 mg/l and limit of quantification was 8,2500 mg/l. Interday precision in five restating showed good precision with relative standard deviation of 3,85%. Accuracy was determined by standard addition method with recovery percentage of 95,00–118,77%. Average concentration of apigenin is 0,0052% (w/w).
