Judul: The analysis of trade and investment flow within ASEAN economic integration area: gravity model approach
Abstrak: This research aims to analysis how trade and investment flow within ASEAN area and ASEAN member countries. The research method used was gravity model, in both trade flow and investment flow. The research took 5 samples of ASEAN countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Philippines. Meanwhile, the trade and investment partners were taken from 14 countries with the greatest trade and investment contribution. The research took place within 1982 to 2006. The study results uncover that the trade flow within ASEAN area and its member countries is influenced positively and significantly by trade integration index, FDI, number of populations, economic transparency, interest rate and GDP. Meanwhile, some variables such as rate, distance and real exchange rate generally effect negatively to the trade flow. Within real sectors, it is found that FDI in ASEAN area and its member countries are positively and significantly affected GDP, number of populations, economic transparency and export and import, while other variables like interest rate, rate, distance and real exchange rate generally effect negatively to the FDI flow within ASEAN area. The participation of ASEAN countries in APEC economic integration affects positively to the trade increase. Compared to ASEAN economic integration, integration within APEC area has a greater impact. It indicates the low intensity of intra-trade amongst ASEAN countries. The membership of FDI investor countries within NAFTA area has positive impacts to FDI and ASEAN flow. In contrast, membership in European Union area has negative impacts. The members of NAFTA and ASEAN are jointly incorporated in APEC area. FDIs in China and India effect to ASEAN FDI. Trade between China and India with ASEAN is sufficiently high. China has a greater impact than India, in addition to the greater size, investment ease in China is better than India.

Judul: Dampak Trade Facilitation terhadap Arus Perdagangan di Kawasan ASEAN+3
Abstrak: Trade facilitation is one of the mechanisms to minimize the transaction costs and complexity of international trade. This study aims to analyse the impact of trade facilitation on trade flows in ASEAN+3. The methodology used is gravity panel data model of nine countries in the ASEAN+3 area, from 2007 to 2010. Based on a gravity data panel framework, the analysis found that in the agriculture raw sector eficiency of custom procedures, which is one of indicator of trade facilitation, have positive impact to trade flows. Meanwhile, in manufacture sector, trade facilitation is represented by eficiency of custom procedures and administration cost of import, improvement in eficiency of custom procedures have the positive impact in increasing the trade flows in ASEAN+3, on the other hand, increasing in administration cost of impor have negatif impact on trade flows. The trade flows is also determined by tariff, exchange rate, GDP per capita of importer countries, GDP per capita of exporter countries and economics distance in both sectors.

Judul: Manajemen Pemeliharaan Kuda (Equus caballus) Untuk Upacara Kenegaraan Dan Sarana Kesenjataan Di Detasemen Kavaleri Berkuda (DenKavkud) TNI-AD Parongpong
Abstrak: Cavalry Horse Detachement (Denkavkud) Indonesian National Army-Cavalary Parongpong is one of the Indonesian military units that utilize the horse and train it as a means of purpose of formal state ceremony and armed forces. Skills possessed by the horse cavalry was the result of care management and specialized training provided by the trainer. Aspects of care management are breeding, feeding, and management. Horses that are kept in the Denkavkud, Parongpong are stallions, mares, foals, and military horses. Total populations of horses at Denkavkud are 183 horses. Besides commited horse training (remonte), Denkavkud also did breeding program to produce horses that can be trained and used as a military horse. There are some issues contained in Denkavkud, such as some of the nutrients needed by the horses not being met from feed given. One of these is crude protein and lysine. Lactation mares was crude protein and lysine deficiency. The number of death in 2010 is higher than previous years. Based on the number of horses that died from January until June 2010 is 11 horses. The average mortality was caused by colic. Colic is caused by excessive eating, excessive drinking during hot, moldy food, and even by investment roundworms. Animal welfare in Denkavkud can be enhanced by improvement of feed given and improving the health of livestock through improved sanitation.
