Judul: Perancangan Manual Sistem Jaminan Halal di PT GIA
Abstrak: The study was conducted at PT GIA, one of local flavour companies in Indonesia, which had difficulties in implementing halal certification of new flavour products or the extension of flavour products that previously had already got the certification of halal. There must have been Halal Assurance System (HAS) before implementing the halal certification of flavour with the aim that certified flavour products gain halal assurance continuously. The purpose of this study was to design of Manual Halal Assurance System (HAS Manual) at PT GIA. The expected benefits were to help the flavor company in designing the HAS compilation for the needs of flavour certification to LPPOM MUI and to give information to LPPOM MUI about the conditions of PT GIA in terms of ensuring halalness of flavour products from raw materials selection, production processes, storage and delivery to customers. HAS Manual was expected to be a form of empowerment of domestic flavour companies so that they were able to compete in Indonesia market that was predominantly Islamic religious who were in needs of collateral for halal products consumed. The study was conducted in two steps. In the first step, a problem analysis was carried out to identify problems faced by PT GIA in halal certification of its products. In the second step, a halal assurance system manual was designed. It was recognized that the main problem faced by PT GIA was the company did not have a halal assurance system. As a result, the company was not able to comply the halal certification requirements. In this study, a halal assurance system manual was developed. This manual consisted of components as required by the halal certification body (LP POM MUI). Nineteen Standard Operating Procedures were established to support the implementation of halal assurance system at PT GIA.

Judul: Desain Manual Sistem Jaminan Halal untuk Usaha Kecil dan Implementasinya di Koperasi Sapta Fateta-IPB
Abstrak: SJH manual is halal assurance system plan implementation document for corporates or stakeholders. It describes all activities to meet eleven criteria which have been written in Halal Assurance System 23 000 (HAS 23 000). The objection of this research is to result SJH manual which is not difficult to be implemented in micro business unit and to evaluate SJH manual implementation in Sapta Cooperative FATETA-IPB. This research started through chain of actions from identifying business process, gathering data needed, composing SJH manual, implementing SJH manual and admission process for Sapta Cooperative FATETA-IPB halal assurance system certification. Composing SJH manual was begun by identifying business process, material and production facility condition in all micro enterprise unit in Sapta Cooperative FATETA-IPB. Based on those information, SJH manual was composed in a simple form to implement. SJH manual consists of halal policy statement, halal management team, operational procedure of implementation and evaluation of system implementation. It was then able to be used as halal certification registration. Implementation simulation which was held in Sapta Cooperative FATETA-IPB showed that there were several obstacles needed to be solved before advancing to the halal certification process in Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI).

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.
