Judul: Strategi Rekrutmen Dan Seleksi Jabatan Underwriting Staff Pada Pt Asuransi Xyz
Abstrak: Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN yang dimulai tahun 2016 membuat persaingan industri semakin meningkat, tak terkecuali industri asuransi kerugian. Underwriting sebagai tonggak dari bisnis asuransi merupakan kunci dari daya saing perusahaan. Maka dari itu PT Asuransi XYZ memerlukan strategi rekrutmen dan seleksi yang ideal untuk merekrut karyawan bagian underwriting. Tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk (1) Mengidentifikasi pelaksanaan rekrutmen dan seleksi di PT Asuransi XYZ, (2) Mengidentifikasi faktor, aktor, tujuan, dan alternatif skenario yang mempengaruhi penentuan strategi rekrutmen dan seleksi bagi Underwriting Staff, (3) Menentukan strategi rekrutmen dan seleksi karyawan yang ideal untuk Underwriting Staff di PT Asuransi XYZ. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah primer dan sekunder. Metode yang digunakan adalah Proses Hierarki Analitik (PHA) dengan non probability purposive sampling kepada pakar. Hasil pengolahan menunjukkan strategi terbaik yang digunakan adalah dengan bidding atau promosi untuk mengisi posisi underwriting.

Judul: Strategy of Recruitment and Selection for Actuary Talent at PT XYZ Jakarta.
Abstrak: Seiring dengan meningkatnya aset dan jumlah industri jasa keuangan terutama industri asuransi, diperlukan jumlah aktuaris yang cukup untuk dapat mengukur risiko yang dihadapi perusahaan serta memitigasi dampak dari risiko yang timbul di masa mendatang. Namun, tantangannya adalah kelangkaan jumlah tenaga aktuaris di Indonesia sehingga setiap perusahaan harus mampu merumuskan strategi yang efektif dalam merekrut tenaga aktuaris. Pada penelitian ini dirumuskan tujuan untuk: (1) Mengidentifikasi pelaksanaan rekrutmen dan seleksi di PT XYZ, (2) Merumuskan strategi rekrutmen dan seleksi menggunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), (3) Menentukan alternatif strategi pelaksanaan rekrutmen dan seleksi yang efektif untuk tenaga aktuaris di PT XYZ. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dan Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa strategi rekrutmen dan seleksi tenaga aktuaris yang menjadi prioritas secara berurutan adalah strategi building, buying, binding, bouncing, bidding, dan borrowing.

Judul: Process engineering of cassava pulp hydrolysis using microwave heating for ethanol production
Abstrak: Cassava pulp is a potential source of carbohydrates. In this work, characteristics of the cassava pulp were analyzed and validity of microwave irradiation for hydrolysis of carbohydrates, especially starch present in the cassava pulp, was estimated as a non-enzymatic saccharification technique. The hydrolysis was performed in water and acid medium. In addition, the role of activated carbon in the microwave-assisted hydrolysis was also evaluated. An optimization of the hydrolysis was conducted using Central Composite Design (CCD) and was analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Fermentation of cassava pulp hydrolysates produced from microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis was performed to those added with activated carbon (25% w/w) and those without activated carbon by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There were two types of activated carbon, which have different adsorption properties, used in this experiment. Results of the cassava pulp characterization shows that the starch granules in the cassava pulp were trapped in biomass matrices, so that the starch was harder to hydrolyze than the free starch, such as that in tapioca flour. Microwave-assisted hydrolysis of cassava pulp can be completed in less than 15 minutes in water medium, and less than 10 minutes in acid medium. The addition of activated carbon improved hydrolysis of cassava pulp starch in water medium with suppression of formation of the secondary decomposed materials. The highest glucose yield obtained from cassava pulp was 46% of dry matter or 52% of theoretical, which was about 60% higher than the one without the addition of activated carbon. On the contrary, the addition of activated carbon decreased the glucose yield when the hydrolysis was performed in acid medium (0.5% H2SO4). The glucose yield could reach 80.8% of dry matter or 91.5% of theoretical yield when no activated carbon was added in the acid medium. The estimated optimum condition for cassava pulp hydrolysis under microwave irradiation was using 0.88% sulfuric acid with 9 minutes of heating time, which resulted in 85% of theoretical glucose yield and 140 g/L glucose concentration. At the end of the fermentation the ethanol yield and concentration obtained in the samples treated with activated carbon (0.41-0.43 g ethanol / g glucose consumed; 34-35 g/L) were lower than that not treated with activated carbon or those treated with activated carbon which was added after hydrolysis (0.48 g ethanol / glucose consumed; 38- 39 g/L). However, the fermentation was completed very much faster in the hydrolysates treated with the activated carbon which has a high adsorption capacity than in that not treated with activated carbon or those treated with activated carbon of low adsorption capacity. Therefore, ethanol productivities (0.44-0.55 g/L/h) of the former were higher than the latter (0.28-0.34 g/L/h).
