Judul: Analisis Mekanisme Transmisi Kebijakan Moneter Jalur Harga Aset Melalui Instrumen Sukuk Negara di Indonesia
Abstrak: Mekanisme kebijakan moneter hingga memengaruhi pertumbuhan ekonomi dan inflasi disebut sebagai mekanisme transmisi kebijakan moneter. Penelitian ini menggunaan data bulanan periode Februari 2011 hingga Desember 2016 dengan metode VAR/VECM. Variabel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu Indeks Harga Konsumen (IHK), Indeks Produksi Industri (IPI), pembiayaan konsumsi perbankan syariah (FKON), pembiayaan investasi perbankan syariah (FINV), equivalent rate deposito mudharabah (ERDEPOS), tingkat imbal hasil PUAS, fee SBIS, dan yield Sukuk Negara (YSUKUK). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa yield Sukuk Negara memiliki peran penting dalam transmisi kebijakan moneter di Indonesia. Sukuk Negara memiliki pengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan output riil dan inflasi.

Judul: Analisis mekanisme transmisi kebijakan moneter melalui jalur suku bunga dan nilai tukar
Abstrak: Prosedur dan Instrumen kebijakan moneter merupakan isu penting bagi bank sentral dalam merumuskan kebijakan moneter. Setelah bank sentral memutuskan target yang hendak dicapai maka hal yang paling penting lainnya adalah mengetahui bagaimana mekanisme kebijakan moneter dalam mempengaruhi output riil dan harga. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk: (1) menganalisis jalur suku bunga dan nilai tukar dalam mekanisme transmisi kebijakan moneter dan pengaruhnya terhadap beberapa indikator makro ekonomi, dan (2) menentukan jalur transmisi kebijakan moneter yang paling berpengaruh. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan ekonometrika dengan model Vektor Errror Correction Model (VECM). Data yang digunakan merupakan data time series bulanan tahun 1993:1 dampai 2004:12. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan program komputer Eviews versi 4.0. Kesimpulan Penelitian ini adalah: (1) berdasarkan hasil VECM pada jalur suku bunga menunjukkan bahwa tingkat suku bunga berpengaruh nyata (pada taraf nyata 0,5%) terhadap inflasi, investasi dan GDP dengan arah parameter yang sesuai dengan teori,(2) untuk jalur nilai tukar, persamaan inflasi menunjukkan bahwa suku bunga SBI dan nilai tukar berpengaruh nayata (pada taraf nyata 0.5%) tehadap inflasi sedangkan impor tidak berpengaruh (pada taraf 20%), (3) pada jalur suku bunga, peran suku bunga SBI relatif rendah dalam mempengaruhi variabilitas GDP namun dalam jangka panjang, peran suku bunga SBI terhadap variabilitas GDP semakin meningkat dan (4) pada mekanisme transmisi jalur nilai tukar menunjukkan bahwa shock suku bunga melalui nilai tukar hanya akan mengakibatkan peningkatan inflasi

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
