Judul: Pemodelan perkembangan karir fungsional alumni Monbusho dengan regresi Cox
Abstrak: Program Pengiriman para pelajar Indonesia ke Jepang melalui Program Kementrian Pendidikan, Sains dan Kebudayaan Jepang atau lebih dikenal dengan Monbusho telah berlangsung cukup lama. Saat ini alumni Monbusho tersebar di berbagai instansi dan daerah. Namun demikian, belum ada kajian khusus mengenai kinerja para alumni Monbusho dan kontribusi alumni tersebut terhadap instansinya. Salah satu hal yang menarik yang ingin dikaji lebih jauh mengenai program tugas belajar ini adalah pengaruh atau dampak dari tugas belajar tersebut terhadap perkembangan profesi/karier alumni. Perkembangan karir yang akan ditelusuri adalah perkembangan karir fungsional alumni. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengamati berbagai faktor yang diduga berpengaruh terhadap promosi alumni Monbusho. Data dikumpulkan dalam rangka kajian evaluasi reentri alumni Monbusho yang dibiayai oleh The Sumitomo Foundation tahun 2000. Data yang dijadikan sebagai sumber informasi mengenai keberadaan alumni Monbusho adalah data yang berasal dari AIEJ (association International Education of Japan). Peubah-peubah penjelas yang diamati adalahı instansi tempat alumni bekerja. jenis kelamin, bidang -ilmu, motivasi, peran atasan, jangka waktu menunggu sampai penugasan kembali, masalah penempatan kembali. tingkat kepuasan. teknik yang diperoleh, peran alumni. kendala yang dihadapi, serta peran program tugas belajar. Peubah responnya adalah lama waktu hingga terjadi promosi. ditambah peubah status untuk ketersensoran pengamatan. Peubah yang berpengaruh nyata terhadap pola promosi alumni Monbusho adalah instansi tempat alumni bekerja, bidang ilmu. motivasi, peran atasan. masalah pada saat penempatan kembali. tingkat kepuasan, teknik yang diperoleh, peran alumni. kendala yang dihadapi. serta peran tugas belajar. Secara umum. peluang promosi yang besar terdapat pada alumni Monbusho yang berasal dari perguruan tinggi dengan bidang ilmu yang digeluti adalah bidang MIPA. Resiko relatifnya adalah 0.2 dan 31. Dugaan fungsi ketahanan yang diperoleh terdiri dari 32 kombinasi karakteristik, namun hanya 19 kombinasi yang benar-benar ada di dalam pengamatan. Dari 32 kombinasi, terbagi menjadi lima kelompok kombinasi dengan karakteristik yang berbeda, dimana dugaan fungsi ketahanan yang besar terdapat pada kelompok alumni yang merasa puas terhadap tenaga akademik dan sarana perguruan tinggi di Jepang namun merasa tidak puas terhadap pengalaman selama tugas belajar secara keseluruhan, sedang dugaan fungsi ketahanan yang terkecil terdapat pada kelompok alumni yang merasa tidak puas terhadap tenaga akademik dan sarana perguruan tinggi namun merasa puas dalam hal pengalaman selama tugas belajar secara keseluruhan.

Judul: The alumni empowerment of adolescent construct alumni social house (psbr) " mardi utomo" blitar through productive effort group going to social and economic autonomy ( an alternative community development at bacem village, ponggok subdistrict, blitar regency, province east java province).
Abstrak: The alumni of PSBR are the people who have followed the social and the skill tuitions and have returned to their family and society where alumni reside in. In that way, they have formed its community in different experience, identity, problems and requirement. The aims of this study are to explain the problems and social and economic autonomy condition of the alumni. Then, it can be compiled a program and a planning of empowerment of alumni based on active participation of alumni and others at Bacem Village. Up to now, the empowerment program addressed to alumni is still oriented to importance "bureaucracy" by playing an approach " Top Down". Alumni and society was less entangled in the empowerment of program process. Thus, the social and economic autonomy condition expected by alumni and outsider had not optimally existed yet. To know the problems, the alumni of social economic outonomy condition and the compilation of the empowerment program, I used interview method to alumni and people who know the alumni problems, FGD method entangling alumni and stakeholder, observation and documentation. Alumni staying at Bacem Village have different skills, such as Sewing, Embroider, Making housewares and automotive (4 wheels). The different skill affect to the obtained problems by each alumni. However, the FGD method indicated that alumni problems are a bit communication and cooperation among alumni, low skill capacity, not having good network, Limited financial, and less motivation in increasing skill, less supporting from society and outsider. The social economic autonomy condition of the alumni is still not optimal yet. It appears from the evaluation between researcher and stakeholder, based on two aspect of current alumni activity and conducted effort. Results demonstrated that alumni having productive activity were to be 11 people (52 %) and the alumni having productive activity were to be 10 people (48 %). For the skill types it showed 75 % of automotive alumni, and 67 %, 50 %, and 75 % for sewing, embroider and making housewares, respectively. Based on the evaluation, it can be concluded that social edonomic autonomy condition of the alumni was taking place in mid level. Consequenly. It still needs a strong empowerment to be able to reach the better level. Based on the problems as mentoned above, the important empowerment program that is done to social economic of alumni being optimal, is by forming alumni working group, establishment and assistance group of its institution, advanced skill training, assistance in making net-effort and partnership, comparative study to the success businessman and the alumni of PSBR in the other locations, giving the supporting finance and instrumentation, training and business extension, alternative skill training, carrying out extension and workshop. The empowerment program is arranged and will be performed together with identified stakeholder.

Judul: Sintesis dan Pencirian Natrium Titanat (Na2Ti2O4(OH)2) Berbahan Dasar Titanium Dioksida
Abstrak: TiO2 can be utilized as basic material for synthesis of sodium titanate (Na2Ti2O4(OH)2). This research was purposed to synthesize and characterize sodium titanate from TiO2 rutile powder as a basic material. Sodium titanate was synthesized by hydrothermal process at temperature 130 °C by mixing TiO2 rutile powder with 5 M and 10 M NaOH solution, then each was calcinated at temperature 700 °C. The energy dispersive X-ray analysis showed that sodium titanate has been successfully synthesized. This result was also supported by functional group analysis with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrofotometer showing the existence of Ti-O-Na vibration band at 989.42 cm-1. The formation of sodium titanate was depend on the reaction condition such as temperature, reaction time, and NaOH concentration. Scanning electron microscope image indicated that sodium titanate synthesized at 130 °C in 20 hours reaction time with 10 M NaOH had crystal size of 99.37 nm.
