Judul: Pengaruh Fundamental dan Makroekonomi terhadap Return Saham Syariah dalam Kelompok Jakarta Islamic Index (JII).
Abstrak: Saham sebagai alternatif investasi memiliki tingkat keuntungan (return) dan risiko (risk) yang cukup tinggi, oleh karena itu investor perlu memiliki informasi tentang tingkat pengembalian yang akan didapatkan serta kinerja keuangan perusahaan untuk mengetahui ketidakpastian risiko yang akan dihadapi agar dapat mengambil keputusan tentang pasar modal mana yang akan dipilih. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh fundamental dan makroekonomi terhadap return saham syariah dalam kelompok Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah variabel fundamental yang direfleksikan oleh Current Ratio (CR), Total Assets Turnover (TATO), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Return On Asset (ROA), variabel makroekonomi yang direfleksikan oleh nilai tukar uang Rupiah terhadap Dollar AS (kurs), tingkat inflasi, jumlah uang yang beredar (M2), dan tingkat suku bunga Bank Indonesia (BI Rate), serta variabel return saham syariah yang direfleksikan oleh Earning per Share (EPS), dividend yield, dan nilai buku. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat analisis SEM PLS dengan data sekunder berupa data panel selama periode 2013 hingga 2017. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel fundamental berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap return saham syariah, sedangkan variabel makroekonomi berpengaruh positif dan tidak signifikan terhadap return saham syariah.

Judul: The Fundamental analysis of the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) in the 2015-2020 period
Abstrak: Perkembangan saham syariah di Indonesia cukup pesat, ditunjukan dengan pertambahan emiten saham syariah. Saham Syariah menjadi tempat berinvestasi yang sesuai dengan hukum Islam. Fluktuasi harga saham menyebabkan resiko ketidakpastian dari investasi. Naik turunnya harga saham di pengaruhi oleh faktor fundamental. Fundamental perusahaan dan fundamental ekonomi mempengaruhi harga saham. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh fundamental terhadap harga saham JII periode 2015-2020. Metode penelitian ini adalah Regresi panel data statis. Hasil menunjukkan variabel Earnings Per Share (EPS), Debt Equity Ratio (DER), Price Earning Ratio (PER), Return on Asset (ROA), Produk Dosmetik Bruto (PDB), The fed, Suku bunga riil dan Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER). memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap harga saham. Variabel EPS, PER, the fed dan REER mempunyai pengaruh positif terhadap harga saham. Variabel DER, ROA PDB dan suku bunga riil mempunyai hasil negatif terhadap harga saham JII., The development of Islamic stocks in Indonesia is quite rapid, it was shown by the accretion of the sharia shares issuer. Sharia stocks become an alternative investment instrument that comply with Islamic law. The fluctuations in stock prices lead to the risk of uncertainty of the investment. The up and down of the stock prices are influenced by fundamental factors. The fundamental of the company and the economy affect stock prices. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of fundamental on the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) stock prices in the 2015-2020 period. The method of this study is a Static Panel Data Regression. The result shows that the variables EPS, DER, PER, ROA, The fed, PDB, real interest rate and REER have a significant impact on stock prices. The variables EPS, PER, the fed and REER have a positive effect on stock prices. Meanwhile, DER, ROA, PDB and real interest rate variable has a negative effect on JII stock prices

Judul: Gene Editing  of Two Cyanide Synthesis-related Genes in Cassava using CRISPR/Cas9
Abstrak: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) contain toxic quantities of cyanogenic glucoside. Reducing the potentially toxic cyanogenic glucoside levels in cassava could be achieved by gene editing through Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats – CRISPR associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9), a high- precision genome editing technique in plants. Two cassava UDP- glucosyltransferase (UGT) paralogs, UGT85K4 and UGT85K5, are the genes catalyzing the synthesis of cyanogenic glucosides in plants. The study aimed to construct the CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant vector carrying single guide RNA (sgRNA) to edit UGT85K4 and UGT85K5 genes, and transform sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 construct into KU50 cassava calli. Five sgRNAs were designed, considering the on/off target efficiency score and GC content. Those sgRNAs were ligated into pRGEB32 plasmid and introduced to competent Escherichia coli DH5a. The PCR colony and DNA sequencing were performed to verify the sgRNA insert. The amplicons showed the expected band size of recombinant vector (180 bp). Based on sequencing results, only one sgRNA was successfully ligated into the plasmid that will be used to edit the UGT85K5 gene. The sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 construct in pRGEB32 plasmid was successfully transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens and introduced into KU50 cassava calli through co-cultivation. The overgrowth of Agrobacterium occurred after the co-cultivation phase.
