Judul: Perancangan Manual Sistem Jaminan Halal di PT GIA
Abstrak: The study was conducted at PT GIA, one of local flavour companies in Indonesia, which had difficulties in implementing halal certification of new flavour products or the extension of flavour products that previously had already got the certification of halal. There must have been Halal Assurance System (HAS) before implementing the halal certification of flavour with the aim that certified flavour products gain halal assurance continuously. The purpose of this study was to design of Manual Halal Assurance System (HAS Manual) at PT GIA. The expected benefits were to help the flavor company in designing the HAS compilation for the needs of flavour certification to LPPOM MUI and to give information to LPPOM MUI about the conditions of PT GIA in terms of ensuring halalness of flavour products from raw materials selection, production processes, storage and delivery to customers. HAS Manual was expected to be a form of empowerment of domestic flavour companies so that they were able to compete in Indonesia market that was predominantly Islamic religious who were in needs of collateral for halal products consumed. The study was conducted in two steps. In the first step, a problem analysis was carried out to identify problems faced by PT GIA in halal certification of its products. In the second step, a halal assurance system manual was designed. It was recognized that the main problem faced by PT GIA was the company did not have a halal assurance system. As a result, the company was not able to comply the halal certification requirements. In this study, a halal assurance system manual was developed. This manual consisted of components as required by the halal certification body (LP POM MUI). Nineteen Standard Operating Procedures were established to support the implementation of halal assurance system at PT GIA.

Judul: Pengembangan Sistem Jaminan Produk Halal dalam Proses Produksi Beras Analog Ubi Jalar Ungu di CV GBA
Abstrak: Sejak diberlakukannya Undang-Undang Jaminan Produk Halal, seluruh produk yang beredar di Indonesia wajib memiliki sertifikat halal, termasuk produk pangan olahan. Pesatnya perkembangan pangan olahan di Indonesia juga turut meningkatkan pentingnya sertifikasi halal. Salah satu bentuk pangan olahan yang beredar di Indonesia adalah beras analog ubi jalar ungu (PSP). Pengolahan PSP menjadi beras analog melibatkan penggunaan berbagai bahan baku yang mampu mengubah status halal PSP yang semula halal. CV GBA merupakan usaha mikro, kecil, menengah (UMKM) yang ingin melakukan sertifikasi halal untuk produk beras analog PSP. Oleh karena itu, CV GBA perlu mengimplementasikan sistem jaminan produk halal (SJPH) di lini produksi beras analog PSP. Penelitian ini bertujuan menyusun manual SJPH dan dokumen lainnya guna mendukung implementasi SJPH di CV GBA, serta mengevaluasi dan memberikan rekomendasi atas implementasi SJPH yang telah dilakukan. Penelitian diawali dengan melakukan observasi kondisi perusahaan, merancang dan menyusun manual SJPH, menerapkan SJPH di seluruh rantai produksi beras analog PSP, dan mengevaluasi penerapan SJPH tersebut. Pasca evaluasi penerapan SJPH, tidak banyak ketidaksesuaian yang ditemukan di CV GBA yang menunjukkan bahwa implementasi SJPH berjalan dengan cukup baik. Namun, peningkatan pelaksanaan SJPH masih perlu dilakukan di CV GBA khususnya pada kriteria proses produk halal. Peningkatan tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan menerapkan pencatatan pada seluruh rantai produksi beras analog PSP., Since the enactment of the Halal Product Assurance Law, all products circulating in Indonesia, including processed food products, must obtain a halal certificate. The rapid growth of processed food in Indonesia further emphasized the importance of halal certification. One of emerging food product in Indonesia is analog rice made from purple sweet potato (PSP). The production process of analog rice from PSP involves the addition of various ingredients that may affect the halal status of the original PSP. CV GBA, a small enterprise, aims to obtain halal certification for their PSP-based analog rice product. To achieve it, CV GBA needs to implement a Halal Product Assurance System (SJPH). This study focuses on constructing a SJPH manual and other necessary documents to support the implementation of SJPH at CV GBA. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the implementation of SJPH at CV GBA and provide recommendations for improvement. The research involved observing company’s condition, designing and compiling the SJPH manual, implementing SJPH throughout the entire PSP-based analog rice processing chain, evaluating its implementation, and compiling recommendations for enhancing the SJPH implementation. Overall, the implementation of SJPH at CV GBA proceeded smoothly with only a few instances of non-compliance identified. However, improvements are needed in the criteria for ensuring the halal status of the product. These improvements could be achieved by implementing comprehensive recording activities throughout the entire production chain of PSP-based analog rice processing.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
