Judul: Analisis Exchange Rate Pass-Through terhadap harga Konsumen: Studi Kasus Lima Negara Asia Periode 2000-2014
Abstrak: Krisis moneter pada tahun 1997-1998 dan krisis finansial global pada tahun 2008-2009 memberikan dampak yang cukup hebat bagi perekonomian di negara-negara Asia. Krisis moneter tahun 1997-1998 memaksa beberapa negara Asia mengganti rezim nilai tukarnya, dari rezim nilai tukar kaku menjadi rezim nilai tukar yang lebih mengambang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis guncangan nilai tukar terhadap harga konsumen di lima negara Asia: Indonesia, Tiongkok, Jepang, Korea Selatan, dan Malaysia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data bulanan dari bulan Januari 2000 hingga Desember 2014 dan memakai metode VAR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guncangan sangat berfluktuatif di Jepang dan Korea Selatan dari awal hingga akhir periode. Respon Indonesia, Tiongkok, dan Malaysia terasa pada awal periode dan mulai stabil dengan cepat. Namun, guncangan nilai tukar tidak terlalu memengaruhi harga konsumen di semua negara.

Judul: Analisis Exchange rate pass-through terhadap Harga Domestik: Studi Di ASEAN-3, Jepang, dan Korea Selatan Periode 2010-2013
Abstrak: This research is aimed to analyze the ability of exchange rate in transmitting inflationary pressure from the outside country towards the economy of Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. The research is divided into two parts; the first part views the effects of foreign price shock towards the domestic exchange rate and the second part views the effects of exchange rate shock towards the domestic price. The difference of this research with other research is that this research uses the model with three different types of ordering to examine the robustness from the empiric result. Based on the result of the research, it is viewed that the contribution effects of the import price shock and the exchange rate shock towards the domestic economy are different in every countries. While the effects of import price shock cause the appreciation of the exchange rate and the exchange rate shock cause the deflation in those countries. The empiric results are robust as the three types of models are not indicated to the significant changes toward the ordering changes.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
