Judul: Analisis Dampak Otonomi Daerah Terhadap Pembangunan Manusia (Human Capital) Di Provinsi Gorontalo
Abstrak: Every regional proliferation as an attempt in the implementation of regional autonomy is essentially based on the Regional Autonomy Regulation No.32/2004 with the goal to achieve the social welfare. However, this effort is not without obstacles; various kinds of development problems are faced by all regions in Indonesia. The main indicator in the realization of social welfare can be seen from the extent of the role of local government in improving human development. This was also the case with the experience of Gorontalo Province at the post-regional autonomy period, marked by the proliferationn of Gorontalo from its parent Province of North Sulawesi. The various human development issues as the conclusions of this study are strongly influenced by the following various factors. By using the panel data methods to determine the factors that affect Human Development Index (HDI) before and after the regional autonomy, the study obtained the result that the Human Development Index of Gorontalo Province was affected by the high percentage of poor people, a factor that determined the low level of HDI in the province. In addition, the poor health facilities such as hospitals, maternity hospital, health centers and supporting health center, health care workers such as doctors and medical personnel also influenced the HDI in this "Corn" Province. Further, the educational facilities such as the buildings of elementary schools, junior and senior high schools did not have an effect on HDI in the Province of Gorontalo but other aspects such as the quality of teaching staffs (teachers and lecturers) might well affect the level of HDI, whereas the economic growth rate turned out to affect the HDI of Gorontalo Province. This study also found that the literacy rate and the net participation rate did not affect the level of HDI in the province, but the rough participation rate and the school participation rate did. Then, the educational, health and economic budgets could essential affect HDI, but in this study it was found that only the health budget had a significant impact on the HDI of Gorontalo Province, whereas the educational and economic budgets did not significantly do so.

Judul: Pengaruh Tata Kelola Ekonomi Daerah Terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan dan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia di Kawasan Timur Indonesia
Abstrak: East Indonesia is a part of Indonesian region which has a wealth of natural that can be developed and potential to become a growth centers. However, this wealth natural resource has not been supported by human resource both in quality and quantity. This can be reflected from the HDI (Human Development Index) in a relatively low in East Indonesia. Regional autonomy was implemented in Indonesia since 2001 aims to improve the welfare of the society and is expected to increase HDI and reduce poverty. The objective of this study is to describe Local Economic Governance (LEG), poverty and HDI in the region and to analyze the impact of LEG on poverty and HDI in East Indonesia. The data were processed using descriptive analysis and multiple regression analysis to estimate Ordinary Least Square. The results showed that LEG conditions in East Indonesia still inequity. The level of poverty districts/cities in East Indonesia is still high and HDI is still relatively low. Variables that can significantly increase the HDI in East Indonesia is business licensing, regulatory regions, capacity and integrity of regent / mayor, security and conflict resolution, as well as GDP per capita and education spending. While the variables that can reduce the level of poverty is local infrastructure, business licensing, capacity and integrity of regent/mayor, security and conflict resolution, GDP per capita and education spending .

Judul: Sintesis dan Pencirian Kompleks Fe(III)-Kuersetin
Abstrak: Quercetin belongs to flavonols which is able to chelate metal ions. Quercetin may chelate metal ions at 3’,4’-catechol, 3- or 5-hydroxycromone sites. In this study, quercetin was complexed with Fe(III). The complex with Fe(III) ions from FeCl3·6H2O was more stable than the complex derived from Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. The quercetin was yellow in color and showed maximum wavelengths (λ􀭫􀭟􀭶) at 250 and 370 nm. The Fe(III)-quercetin complex from Fe(NO3)3·9H2O was yellowish green with 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 at 280 and 420 nm, whereas that from FeCl3·6H2O was dark green with 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 at 280 and 430 nm. The 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 shift indicated that the complex was formed at 3-hydroxychromone site. The Fe(III)- quercetin complex was formed with 1:1 metal-ligand mole ratio based on atomic absorption spectrophotometry analysis and the X-ray diffractogram showed that the crystallinity of the complex was 37%.
