Judul: Pengaruh Kompensasi, Budaya Kerja, dan Kompetensi terhadap Keterlekatan Kerja Peternak Sapi Perah di Kabupaten Malang
Abstrak: Ketersediaan susu sapi saat ini belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan konsumsi susu nasional. Hal ini karena produksi susu Indonesia masih terkonsentrasi di Pulau Jawa. Salah satu daerah penghasil susu terbesar di Pulau Jawa adalah Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan produksi susu dibutuhkan upaya meningkatkan daya saing susu di Kabupaten Malang. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) Menganalisis gaji berbasis job value di UKM peternakan sapi perah Kabupaten Malang; (2) Menganalisis pengaruh kompensasi, budaya kerja, dan kompetensi terhadap keterlekatan kerja peternak sapi perah di Kabupaten Malang; (3) Menganalisis faktor utama yang paling mempengaruhi keterlekatan kerja peternak sapi perah di Kabupaten Malang. Jumlah responden untuk menganalisa faktor daya saing peternak sapi perah sebanyak 106 orang dan untuk menganalisa kompensasi di UKM peternakan sebanyak 39 orang. Metode analisis data menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif, point system, perhitungan regresi linier, dan Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukan sistem perhitungan gaji yang efisien untuk diterapkan adalah dengan basis job value non-penggolongan dan keterlekatan kerja peternak sapi perah di Kabupaten Malang dipengaruhi oleh 2 variabel, yaitu variabel kompensasi dan budaya kerja dengan kompensasi sebagai variabel utama.

Judul: Strategi Peningkatan Daya Saing UKM Sapi Perah di Wilayah Jawa Tengah.
Abstrak: Produksi susu nasional tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan masyarakat yang semakin meningkat. DI Yogyakarta dan Boyolali termasuk dalam jalur susu Jawa Tengah. Kompensasi, work engagement, kompetensi dan budaya kerja adalah faktor-faktor yang dapat meningkatkan daya saing UKM sapi perah. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu menganalisis sistem kompensasi berbasis job value, menganalisis pengaruh kompensasi, work engagement, budaya kerja dan kompetensi terhadap daya saing dan menganalisis faktor paling menentukan daya saing UKM sapi perah di wilayah Jawa Tengah. Analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif, analisis kompensasi dengan point system dan Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Hasil analisis menunjukkan sistem kompensasi ideal di UKM sapi perah di wilayah Jawa Tengah adalah sistem kompensasi penggolongan. Variabel budaya kerja berpengaruh positif terhadap daya saing, kompensasi dan kompetensi berpengaruh negatif terhadap daya saing dan work engagement tidak berpengaruh terhadap daya saing. Variabel budaya kerja merupakan faktor yang paling berpengaruh terhadap daya saing UKM sapi perah di wilayah Jawa Tengah

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.
