Judul: Analisis Daya Saing Dan Faktor-Faktor Yang Memengaruhi Ekspor Ban Indonesia Ke Kawasan Amerika Latin
Abstrak: Industri ban merupakan industri yang berpotensi untuk meningkatkan ekspor Indonesia ke pasar non-tradisional seperti kawasan Amerika Latin. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis daya saing komparatif, kompetitif, dan dinamika ekspor ban Indonesia serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ekspor ban Indonesia ke kawasan Amerika Latin. Periode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu dari tahun 2009 sampai 2014 dengan menggunakan metode analisis Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export product Dynamic (EPD), Gravity model dan Porter’s Diamond. Hasil penelitian ini adalah ban Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang kuat di kawasan Amerika Latin kecuali di negara Argentina. Selain itu, ban Indonesia memiliki posisi dinamika ekspor yang baik (rising star) di negara Panama, Venezuela, Uruguay, Meksiko, Guatemala, dan Costa Rica. Faktor-Faktor yang memengaruhi ekspor ban Indonesia ke Amerika Latin adalah jarak ekonomi, GDP riil perkapita Indonesia, GDP riil perkapita negara tujuan, nilai tukar riil, dan populasi negara tujuan.

Judul: Analisis Daya Saing dan Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Ekspor Spare Parts Indonesia ke Kawasan Amerika Latin
Abstrak: Spare parts industry is one of growing value chain industries, it also has high value, and potency in Indonesia. Latin America region is one of nontraditional export market that has potency for Indonesia’s diversification of export destinations especially for spare parts products. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and the factors affect Indonesia’s spare parts export to Latin American region from 2009 to 2013. The methods used in this paper are the Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA) and gravity model with panel data methods. The CMSA results indicate that the average of competitiveness Indonesia’s spare parts export to Latin American period 2009 to 2013 influenced by the competitiveness effect. The gravity model results indicate factors that have significant impact to the value of Indonesia’s spare parts export are real GDP interaction of exporters and importers country, exchange rate importers country to Dollar, and export prices. Meanwhile, economic distance and import tariff have no significant impact on the value of Indonesia’s spare parts export.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
