Judul: The Role of Infrastructure Development on Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia: Java and Outside Java
Abstrak: The development of infrastructure is an important to poverty alleviation. From this premise, the study proposes to analyze the impact of infrastructure development on growth in Java and Outside Java and to assess whether the growth can effectively reduce poverty. It comes from relation between infrastructure development and poverty mainly indirectly. Using static panel data analysis, the result shows that infrastructure such as electricity, water and public health centre have significant and positive impact on growth in Java and so does the employment variable, whereas decentralization has significant and negative impact on growth in Java. For outside Java, electricity variable, public health centre and employment have significant and positive impact on growth. Road infrastructure isn‟t have a significant impact on growth both in Java and outside Java. Estimation result using 2 SLS method shows that growth in Java reduce poverty, but growth in outside Java instead increase poverty. Further, unemployment both in Java and outside Java increase poverty, but mean year schooling reduce poverty both in Java and outside Java.

Judul: Keterkaitan antara Ketersediaan Infrastruktur dan Tingkat Kemiskinan di Indonesia: Analisis Data Kabupaten/Kota 2008-2011
Abstrak: Poverty in Indonesia is gradually decreasing in 2008-2011. The infrastructure availability is one of the most important points that can accelerate poverty reduction. This study uses panel data of 155 districts/municipalties in Indonesia 2008-2011. The goals of this study are to describe the condition of the infrastructure availability and the poverty rate in Indonesia and to analyze the relationship between them .The infrastructure variables that are used consist of water, electricity, roads, schools, and hospital beds. Beside that, control variables that are applied are GDP per capita and unemployment rate (TPT). The result of the study shows that infrastructure availability generally has a significant impact except infrastructure of schools and has a negative relationship for poverty rate except water’s infrastructure. From all those five infrastructure variables, the variable which has the most effective influence on the percentage of poor people is electricity variable.

Judul: Formulasi Campuran Minyak Atsiri Sebagai Repelen Nyamuk Aedes aegypti
Abstrak: Minyak Atsiri merupakan minyak yang memiliki senyawa kompleks yang bermanfaat salah satunya sebagai penolak serangga seperti nyamuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui formula campuran minyak atsiri terbaik untuk sediaan penolak nyamuk. Minyak atsiri yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah minyak atsiri sereh wangi, sereh dapur, kayu putih dan lavender. Minyak atsiri yang diperoleh dilakukan karakterisasi warna, bobot jenis, indeks bias dan kelarutan dalam alkohol. Warna yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan SNI yaitu kuning pucat sampai kuning jernih, bobot jenis yang dihasilkan 0.8125-0.9114, indeks bias yang dihasilkan 1.4568-1.4665 dan larut dalam alkohol. Minyak atsiri yang digunakan tersebut menghasilkan 7 formula, yaitu formula A1-A5, formula B1- B5, formula C1-C5, formula D1-D5, formula E1-E5, formula F1-F5, dan formula G1-G5. Uji organoleptik yang dilakukan pada formula tersebut menunjukkan hasil bahwa formula yang banyak disukai adalah formula E3, G3 dan F3. Semua minyak terpilih dilakukan uji repelen (daya tolak) terhadap nyamuk untuk mengetahui efektivitas dari campuran minyak tersebut dengan cara mencampurkan dengan VCO. Hasil dari uji repelen formula E3 (minyak sereh dapur, sereh wangi dan lavender) paling efektif dibandingkan formula F3 dan G3. Nilai daya proteksi yang dihasilkan dari formula E3 mencapai diatas 90% sampai jam ke-4.
