Judul: Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Indeks Pembangunan Manusia di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat
Abstrak: Equitable economy development is the ultimate goal of a state to increase people’s prosperity. Human development indicators can be measured by Human Development Index (HDI). This research aims to analyze factors which affect HDI in West Nusa Tenggara Province. This research uses two methods, descriptive methods and quantitive Random Effects Model. This study shows that variable which has significant positive impact is GDP per capita. In other hand, poverty level and gini ratio have significant negative impact to HDI in West Nusa Tenggara.

Judul: The Analysis Of Factors That Influence Human Development Index In West Java
Abstrak: Human Development Index (HDI) is a measure for the quality of human development. The increas development will have an impact on improving the quality of economic growth. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 1990 has used the HDI to measures achievement of human development process. Human Development Index devided in three aspects: longevity, knowledge and decent living. This study examines the factors that influence human development index in West Java province and discussed the policy implications compared to the reality that occure in this province.The study was conducted in West Java province by using secondary data derived from BPS and Bappeda Jawa Barat from 2005- 2009. This study used panel data regression model to determine the factors that influence human development index and used descriptive analysis to discuss policy implication. This study showsed GDP per capita, poverty, education facilities, teacher, health fascilities, health care, and infrastructure significantly influence the human development index. Factors above should be priority to improve so that West Java would achieve higher HDI.This study also found that Kabupaten Sukabumi, Kabupaten Kuningan, Kabupaten Cirebon, Kabupaten Sumedang, and Kabupaten Purwakarta have the lowest HDI in West Java Province.

Judul: Sintesis Flavon dari Fenol dan Benzoil Klorida
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, commonly found in plants with wide bioactivity spectrum. A widely used flavone synthesis route is through acidcatalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-diketone. In this study, unsubstituted flavone had been synthesized via 5-step from phenol, with 22% yield and successfully increased the yield of previous study on Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate and benzoylation of o-HAP steps. Phenol was acetylated resulting 93% phenyl acetate. AlCl3-catalyzed Fries rearrangement in 1.5 hour and at 120 °C converted phenyl acetate into o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) with 40% yield. AlCl3 as catalyst produced o-HAP with higher and reproducible yield compared with BF3·Et2O and ZnCl2. Benzoylation of o-HAP followed by Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester product using KOH in dried pyridine produced β-diketone 1-(2- hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione. The yield of ester and β-diketone were 71% and 85%, respectively. Finally, oxidative cyclization of β-diketone with sulphuric acid as catalyst produced 99% of flavone. The flavone product had been characterized spectroscopically and its melting point as well.
