Judul: Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Alokasi Infak Rumah Tangga: Studi Kasus Desa Pasir Eurih Kecamatan Tamansari Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Indonesia is one of countries with the most populous Muslim in the world. Poverty that strikes Muslims is an irony considering Islam is the only divine religion which explicitly requires his people to dispense zakah. Therefore, Zakah, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZIS) is the potential solution to eradicate poverty in Indonesia. Infaq can be an alternative solution to alleviate poverty through income equalization. This study analyses factors that affect the household‟s charity allocation using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method and behavior of charity allocations on household using descriptive analysis. Result shows that altruism, income and formal education affect household‟s charity allocation. These three factors positively influence the amount of household‟s charity. On the other hand, behavior on charity allocation shows a good respond even though it is not yet a priority.

Abstrak: Kemiskinan merupakan masalah yang sangat besar bagi bangsa Indonesia sehingga untuk menanggulangi masalah yang sangat serius ini diperlukan langkah-langkah yang tepat. Zakat Infak Sedekah (ZIS) memiliki potensi yang besar di Indonesia mengingat mayoritas penduduk Indonesia adalah beragama Islam. Infak dapat dijadikan alternatif sebagai sarana untuk memeratakan pendapatan masyarakat sehingga dapat mengentaskan kemiskinan. Penelitian ini menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi alokasi infak rumah tangga di Kota Bogor dengan menggunakan metode regresi logistik ordinal dan analisis faktor serta perilaku pengalokasian infak pada rumah tangga dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi alokasi infak rumah tangga adalah keimanan, pendapatan dan umur. Ketiga faktor tersebut memiliki pengaruh yang positif terhadap besarnya persentase infak per pendapatan sedangkan untuk perilaku pengalokasian infak pada rumah tangga disimpulkan sudah cukup baik walaupun infak belum menjadi prioritas yang utama.

Judul: Peptides Hydrolysate Derived from Collagen of Snakehead Murrel (Channa striata) Skin Demonstrate Anti-oxidant and Anti-cholesterol Activities.
Abstrak: Anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant play crucial role to combat cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to formation of arterial plagues from oxidation of cholesterol. In the past decades, research on bioactive peptides demonstrating anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant activities have been reported as the alternative drugs. In this study, acid soluble collagen was extracted from the skin of snakehead murrel and employed to induce production of collagenase by Bacillus licheniformis F11.4. The collagenases secreted were in turn purified through AKTA Purifier (ion exchange, DEAE column) and used to produce peptides hydrolysate. The purified enzymes were grouped in two distinct collagenase fractions, designated as fraction D and F. Peptides hydrolysate produced by the fraction D was found to demonstrate HMG-CoA inhibitor activity comparable to pravastatin and limited anti-oxidant activity. Meanwhile, peptides hydrolysate generated using the fraction F demonstrated anti-oxidant activity comparable to BHT (2mM), vitamin C (2mM) and vitamin E (2mM), but limited HMG-CoA activity. Combination of the fraction D and F resulted in substantial HMG-CoA inhibition and anti-oxidant activities.
