Judul: Macroeconomic policy impact on national food security
Abstrak: In general this research aimed to study macroeconomic impact on food security, while special aim is to develop an econometric model which is integrated both macro and micro aspects for Indonesian economy that affect food security, to analyze macroeconomic policy impact on national food security. and to analyze various alternative strategic policy in the future especially in agricultural sector that could improve national food security. The econometric model was developed to set up a connection between macroeconomic policy and food security. The Model was divided into four blocks that is: production, consumption, and indicator outcome for food security and macroeconomic blocks which estimated by using 2 SLS method. 1be validation model result showed that 64 equatimfs or 94 percent have UTheil (U) value below 0.3. The biggest value of U is 0.503. The validation model result also indicated that there are 58 or 85 percent of 68 equations on the model have Mean Percentage Error value below 30 percent, and 51 equations or 75 percent have Root Mean Squares Percentage Error (RMSPE) value below 30 percent Based on that, it is showed in generally that structure and identity equations in this model have good ptediction in historical simulation.

Judul: Impacts of macroeconomic policy on the performance of agriculture sector in Indonesia
Abstrak: Macroeconomic policy of the fudonesian government particularly related to agricuhure sector still seems unsupportive. This is reflected by high interest rate~ overvalued exchange rate of rupiah, imposition of high export tax on agriculture commodities, and low of credit and investment allocated for the agriculture sector. This research was intended to analyse the impact of macroeconomic policy on the performance of Indonesian economy and the agriculture sector. The Indonesian macroeconomic model was built as a simultaneous equations system, which incorporated macroeconomic policy variables and disaggregated into sectors and sub sectors of economy and its relation with domestic and world 11l3Ikets. The impact analysis was elaborated into three periods, i.e. the period before the economic crisis (l993.1996)~ the period of economic crisis (1997-2000), and the forecasting period (2003-2007)~ where each of tile periods consists of 19 simulation scenarios.

Judul: Penjajaran Lokal Sekuens DNA Paralel dengan Skema Partisi Columnwise Menggunakan CUDA
Abstrak: Deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) merupakan asam nukleat yang menyimpan informasi genetika makhluk hidup. Sekuens DNA suatu makhluk hidup dapat memiliki similaritas dengan sekuens DNA makhluk hidup lainnya. Penjajaran sekuens adalah salah satu cara untuk melihat similaritas di antara sekuens DNA. Penjajaran sekuens untuk sekuens DNA yang panjang membutuhkan waktu yang lama. Penjajaran sekuens secara paralel dapat mempercepat proses penjajaran. Untuk mengimplementasikannya dibutuhkan skema partisi, salah satunya adalah columnwise. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Smith-Waterman untuk melakukan penjajaran sekuens lokal dan GPU untuk melakukan penjajaran sekuens secara paralel. Pada penelitian ini dihasilkan speedup tertinggi sebesar 5.542 kali untuk sekuens DNA dengan panjang 22 000 bp menggunakan skip 1.
