Judul: Peran Etika Bisnis Islam terhadap Kinerja Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) Pangan di Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam pembangunan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia. Kontribusi UMKM terhadap Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) Indonesia adalah sebesar 60.64% dan menyerap tenaga kerja sebanyak 97%. Namun potensi tersebut masih diiringi pelanggaran-pelanggaran yang terjadi terutama di bidang pangan. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah masih banyak kegiatan usaha yang dijalankan belum sesuai dengan etika bisnis yang seharusnya. Penelitian ini menganalisis peran etika bisnis Islam terhadap kinerja UMKM. Peneliti menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif untuk menganalisis persepsi pebisnis terhadap etika bisnis Islam, sedangkan untuk menganalisis peran etika bisnis Islam terhadap kinerja UMKM menggunakan metode Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa etika bisnis Islam memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap kinerja UMKM.

Judul: Analisis Kinerja Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) Agroindustri di Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Jumlah usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM) di Kota Bogor sebesar 15 458 unit usaha dengan 77.93% termasuk dalam kategori usaha mikro dan 99.99% kapasitasnya masih rendah. Hal tersebut menunjukkan kinerja UMKM di Kota Bogor sebagian besar masih rendah, terutama UMKM agroindustri sehingga perlu dilakukan analisis kinerja pada UMKM agroindustri di Kota Bogor. Analisis kinerja dalam penelitian ini menggunakan indeks kinerja. Indeks kinerja merupakan modifikasi indeks pembangunan yang dikembangkan oleh Badan Perencanaan dan Pembangunan Nasional (Bappenas). Hasil pengukuran indeks kinerja menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata indeks kinerja UMKM pangan dan UMKM nonpangan di Kota Bogor masing-masing sebesar 56.46 dan 65.53. Hasil pemetaan UMKM agroindustri menunjukkan UMKM pangan dan UMKM nonpangan di Kota Bogor terbagi menjadi UMKM berkembang, UMKM maju, dan UMKM mandiri dengan rata-rata UMKM pangan dan nonpangan termasuk dalam kategori UMKM maju. Hasil evaluasi kinerja menunjukkan bahwa indeks kinerja UMKM agroindustri di Kota Bogor dapat meningkat dengan melakukan perbaikan pada dimensi manusia, pasar, dan uang. Perbaikan pada dimensi tersebut dilakukan dengan penambahan jumlah tenaga kerja, perluasan pasar, dan penetapan harga pokok produksi sampai batas tertentu sehingga indeks kinerja UMKM meningkat hingga 17%.

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.
