Judul: Kajian numerik model hidden markov satu waktu sebelumnya untuk nilai tukar Rupiah terhadap Dolar Amerika
Abstrak: Hidden Markov model is a model that consists of a pair stochastic processes, ie: the process of observation and the cause factors of the observation, where the cause factors of the observation are not observed directly and assumed to be a Markov chain. The previous time hidden Markov model is a hidden markov model that the observation process is influenced by current events and one previous time cause factors. The previous time hidden Markov model can be applied to the exchange rate of rupiah to US dollar, where the exchange rate of rupiah to US dollar is the observation and the contributing factor is a Markov chain. Parameters of the model are estimated using the maximum likelihood method and calculated using expectation maximization (EM) iterative algorithm. Using the initial value obtained by trial and error, Santoso (2008) was able to model the exchange rate of rupiah to US dollar with MAPE 14.58%. In this paper, the initial value is structuredly generated on a specific interval so that the accuracy of model increases. Retrieved MAPE is 4.13% with only one iteration.

Abstrak: The exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar fluctuates according to time in a long period. An existing exchange rate might happen again in the future. Assume that the causes of the fluctuation are not observed directly and form a Markov chain, then the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar can be modeled by the hidden Markov time series. In this research, the model used to describe the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar is the four previous time in hidden Markov time series. This model assumes that the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar depends on Markov chain explained by the cause of occurence and the four previous exchange rates of Rupiah to US Dollar. The model parameter is estimated by using the maximum likelihood method, while the estimation itself is calculated using the expectation maximization algorithm, which is implemented using Mathematica. After estimating the parameter, the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar are calculated. The results are as follows. The symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) is 2,1%, the maximum absolute error is 19,16%, the minimum absolute error is 0,0036%, and only 1,95% of the whole absolute percentage error that is bigger than 10%. These results show that the four previous time in hidden Markov time series can describe the exchange rate of Rupiah to US Dollar very well.

Judul: Karakteristik Komponen Kayu Bagian Lunas, Gading-gading, dan Linggi pada Kapal Kayu di Teluk Nara, Lombok Utara
Abstrak: Kapal SV Vivian merupakan kapal pariwisata yang terbuat dari kayu solid. Kapal SV Vivian terdiri dari bagian lunas, linggi haluan dan linggi buritan, gading-gading, wrang, galar kim, galar balok, balok geladak dan lutut-lutut, kulit luar, geladak, pagar, sekat kedap air. Pembuatan kapal hanya didasarkan pada pengalaman, sehingga perlu diteliti untuk mengetahui karakteristik komponen kayu yang digunakan. Penelitian mengukur karakteristik atau sifat-sifat dasar komponen kayu yang digunakan pada bagian gading-gading, linggi dan lunas. Standar pengujian yang digunakan yaitu BS-373: 1957. Jenis kayu yang digunakan untuk pembuatan lunas dan linggi yaitu kayu Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri) dan gading-gading menggunkan kayu kempas (Koompasia malacensis). Kayu ulin memiliki karakteristik yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kayu kempas. Kayu ulin masuk kedalam kelas kuat I dan tahan terhadap serangan marine borers sehingga tergolong kedalam kelas awet I. Kempas tergolong kedalam kayu dengan kelas kuat II dan ketahanan terhadap marine borers masuk kedalam kelas awet V. Bagian lunas kapal disambung dengan menggunakan baut dan jenis sambungan yang digunakan yaitu plain scarf.
