Judul: The Influence of the Green Revolution in Indonesia: The Impact of Increasing Agricultural Productivity on Forest Area
Abstrak: The application of the Green Revolution has provided many benefits for the agricultural sector. However, empirical studies stated that the Green Revolution through increased agricultural productivity could cause opposing effects to the environment. The effect of an increase in agricultural productivity can be either "forest-saving" or "forest-clearing". This paper will analyse the effect of an increase in agricultural productivity in Indonesia on deforestation using analytical models developed by Angelsen and Kaimowitz (2001). The findings imply that there are correlation between increasing agricultural productivity with deforestation in Indonesia.

Judul: The impact of agricultural industrialization to agricutural sector performance and rural poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Agricultural industrialization can be aproached through supply side and demand side. From supply side, agricultu ral industrialization is interpreted through incremental productivity. This research is designed to measure the impact of productivity improvement of agricultural industry (agroindustry) on economic sector performance, macroeconomic, household income, and rural poverty. This research use a data base on Input-Output (I-O) Table and Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of Indonesi a 2003 developed by Central Bureau of Statistic. The main analysis used is recursive dynamic of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model (CGE-AGRINDO Model) while poverty case is analyzed by using Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty index. The policy simulation result shows that productivity improvement of agroindustry has strong affects on total output industry. If the productivity improvement of agroindustry is followed by productivity improvement of agriculture and financial institution, almost all sectors would increase in total output. In turn, the increase of total outp ut will result in a decrease in output selling price, on the other hand it will increase labor absorbtion. The productivity improvement affects the macroeconomic performance which indicated by real GDP improvement. This condition also affects the increasing in inflation acceleration. The productivity improvement contributes to an impact on rural and urban household’s income. The household of agricultural labor on rural area receives the biggest benefit, on the contrary the househod of nonagricultural labor at upper level on urban area receives the smallest benefit.

Judul: Karakteristik Piezoelektrik Film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 di atas Substrat TCO
Abstrak: Studi material perovskite SrTiO3 sudah banyak dilakukan dan menunjukkan sifat feroelektrik, piezoelektrik, kuantum paraelektrik dan superkonduktor yang baik. Dengan penambahan dopant La2O3 diduga menambah performa sifat piezo dan karakteristik lainnya. Karakteristik film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 (LST) dengan variasi x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 terbentuk pada suhu annealing 550 oC di atas substrat TCO melalui metode (Chemical Solution Deposition) CSD dan spin coating dengan 700 rpm pada kondisi suhu ruang dan tekanan atmosfer standar. Hasil menunjukkan, semakin banyak pendadah La maka nilai ketebalan film, ukuran rerata kristalit, parameter kisi, transmitansi, nilai konduktivitas (maksimum 589.7 S/cm pada sampel x=0.04 di frekuensi 10 Hz), nilai konstanta tegangan (c) dan muatan (d) piezo semakin meningkat. Dinamika bentuk grafik nilai tegangan (V) dan konstanta regangan mekanik (s) nampak mirip. Nilai V mencapai 0.127 V untuk x=0.06 (beban 50 g). Nilai maksimum c, d, s masing-masing mencapai 20.07 Vm/N, 1.14x10-8 C/N, 13642.71. Nilai band gap untuk x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 masing-masing 3.21 eV, 3.1 eV, 2.6 eV, 2.4 eV. La2O3 menambah performa sifat piezo, sehingga LST berpotensi sebagai sensor tekanan.
