Judul: Dampak Simulasi Kebijakan Redistribusi Lahan terhadap Perekonomian Indonesia.
Abstrak: This study aims to simulate the impact of the land redistribution policy to the Indonesian economy. A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and Microsimulation Model is developed and exersiced to analysis the impacts of land redistribution to income distribution, productions and poverty. Based on 2008 Indonesian Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and National Socio-Economic Household Survey (SUSENAS) 2008 data set; the land redistribution simulation show that land redistribution have the potential of generating economic growth, poverty and income inequality reduction. Land redistribution expected to affect household income structur and subject to household consumption composition changes. This changes implicitly shows that there are some changes in demand of consumption goods which will be responded by firms by changing the composition of their output. The results suggest that land redistribution will raise Indonesian GDP growth. Furthermore, the changes in income structure of each household particularly improved the condition of poverty level and income distribution in Indonesia. It is shown by the decrease in three poverty indicators (i.e. headcount index, poverty gap ratio and severity index) and income distribution indicator which is in line with land redistribution policy.

Judul: Dampak Kebijakan Pembangunan Pertanian Terhadap Pengentasan Kemiskinan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Government policy applied in agricultural sectors, giving opportunity for welfare improvement and poverty reduction of all perpetrator in concerned agricultural sector directly and also indirectly. Impact of agriculture development policy on poverty reduction during the time it is important to know and evaluated, so that necessary action can be taken a strategic agriculture development policy and able to become solution about height problem of poverty level. This study aims at analyzing the impact of agricultural development policy on poverty reduction in Indonesia. To reach this objective, a simultaneous equations model is constructed and estimated using the 2SLS method. Simulations of a set of policy scenarios are undertaken based on estimeted parameters of the model. The result of this research show that urban poverty can to reduced by improvement policy of real wage rate, improvement of economic growth, goverment expenditure in service sector and improvement of nasional food stock. Furthermore, rural poverty can be depressed by improvement of real wage rate, economic growth, goverment expenditure on agriculture, price of agriculture commodity and improvement of agricultural production. While for the economic crisis and inflation give positive influence to poorness number improvement in rural. Policy combination to increase of areal agriculture and credit improvement each 10 percent, and also degrade rate of interest equal to 2 percent representing policy combination giving biggest influence to poverty reduction, that is equal to 4.30 percent. This Policy combination bring influence for poverty reduction in rural, that is equal to 4.66 percent. This policy combination also able to push production of equal to 5.01 percent and repair of agriculture commodity price equal to 1.97 percent.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
