Judul: Implementation of Halal Process Production on  Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises of Animal Food Industries at Pekalongan  City
Abstrak: Kehalalan produk pangan ditentukan mulai dari bagaimana cara memperoleh bahan baku, proses pengolahan, proses pengemasan, hingga distribusi ke konsumen. Dibutuhkan sertifikasi halal untuk menjamin kehalalan suatu produk. Di Kota Pekalongan masih ada usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah yang belum memiliki sertifikasi halal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi sertifikasi halal, mengidentifikasi faktor penghambat sertifikasi halal, dan strategi peningkatan sertifikasi UMKM di Kota Pekalongan. Survey dan wawancara dilakukan terhadap 28 UMKM di Kota Pekalongan pada bulan Maret 2021 hingga Juni 2021, data diolah menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan diagram fishbone (tukang ikan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi sertifikasi halal pada sebagian besar UMKM di Kota Pekalongan belum diterapkan dengan baik, pelaku usaha masih banyak menemui permasalahan dalam proses pembuatan sertifikasi halal, diperlukan penyebaran informasi yang merata kepada pelaku usaha serta adanya pendampingan dari pemerintah atau dinas terkait dalam proses pengajuan sertifikasi halal., Determination of halal production begins with the purchase of raw materials, processing, packaging, until distribution to consumers. Legalization of the halal process was proven by having a halal certificate. In Pekalongan city, there are few Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises that dont have halal certificates.The purpose of this research was to analyze implementation of halal process production, identify factors inhibiting the applying halal certification and strategies to increase the halal certification process of MSMEs at Pekalongan City. Surveys and interviews were conducted with 28 MSMEs in Pekalongan City from March 2021 until June 2021, the data was processed using descriptive analysis and fishbone diagrams. The results of the research indicate that the implementation of halal certification in most MSMEs in Pekalongan City has not been implemented properly, business actors still encounter many problems in making halal certification, necessary to spread same information to business actors and provide assistance in the process of applying for halal certification.

Judul: Analysis of the Readiness of MSMEs in the Culinary Sector in the City of Samarinda for the Obligation of Halal Certification
Abstrak: Aturan kewajiban sertifikasi halal pada semua produk yang beredar di wilayah Indonesia telah berlaku sejak tahun 2019. Akan tetapi, jumlah UMKM bidang kuliner di Kalimantan Timur yang telah memiliki sertifikat halal atas produknya hanya kurang dari 10%. Dengan mengetahui kenyataan tersebut, penulis melakukan penelitian yang bertujuan mengetahui tingkat kesiapan UMKM terhadap aturan kewajiban tersebut yang tercantum pada UU Jaminan Produk Halal. Penelitian difokuskan pada UMKM bidang kuliner yang berdomisili di kota Samarinda dengan melibatkan 80 responden. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian adalah analisis deskriptif dan skala Likert. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, tingkat pengetahuan UMKM bidang kuliner yang ada di kota Samarinda mengenai halal sangat tinggi. Selain itu, didapatkan juga hasil bahwa pelaku bersedia melakukan kewajiban sertifikasi halal namun kurang inisiatif untuk mencari tahu mengenai sertifikasi halal. Adapun tingkat kesiapan praktik halal yang menggambarkan tingkat penerapan kriteria sistem jaminan halal pada UMKM berada pada kategori siap., The mandatory rules for halal certification for all products circulating in the territory of Indonesia have been in effect since 2019. However, the number of MSMEs in the culinary sector in East Kalimantan that have halal certificates for their products is only less than 10% . By knowing this fact, the authors conducted a study that aims to determine the level of readiness of MSMEs to the obligations stipulated in the UU Jaminan Produk Halal. The study focused on culinary MSMEs that domiciled in the city of Samarinda, involving 80 respondents. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis and a Likert scale. Based on the results of the research, the level of knowledge of culinary MSMEs in the city of Samarinda regarding halal is very high. In addition, results were also obtained that the perpetrators were willing to carry out halal certification obligations but lacked the initiative to find out about halal certification. The level of halal practice readiness which describes the level of application of the halal assurance system criteria for MSMEs is in the ready category.

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.
