Judul: The impact of migration policy on labor market and Indonesian economy
Abstrak: The problem of internal and international migration is still faced by Indonesian government until the recent year. The internal migration problem is related to the concentration of migration in Java as a destination region, even though this region has high population and unemployment. The problem of international migration is caused by the high demand of professional migrant of the destination country. Some of internal and international migration policies have been regulated by the government to handle the problem. The main purpose of internal and in ternational migration policies in Indonesia is to solve population distribution and labor market problem and improve economic condition in Indonesia. The objectives of this research are: (1) to describe the pattern of internal and international migration, labor market and Indonesian economy, (2) to analyze the factors that influence internal and international migration in Indonesia, and (3) to forecast the ex-ante (2009-2012) impact of some alternatives internal and international migration policies on labor market and Indonesian economy.

Judul: Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Migrasi Internal di Indonesia Sebelum dan Setelah Otonomi Daerah
Abstrak: Migration is a phenomenon that occurs due to regional disparities. Many of the factors drive a person to do the migration, such as the economic growth in the region and the availability of jobs. Migration flows in Indonesia tend to be concentrated in high-income areas, while the unemployment rate is also high in the area, such as DKI Jakarta, West Java, and some other provinces. One effort to reduce the amount of migration is to perform regional autonomy. This regional autonomy provides an opportunity for each region to build their own country, which is expected to overcome regional disparities. This study aims to analyze the factors that push and pull factors affecting internal migration in Indonesia before and after the regional autonomy. The method used is the econometric model with panel data. The estimation of the model showed that variables were analyzed, namely GDP per capita, minimum wages, and population of secondary and higher education graduates, positively influence migration. Meanwhile, unemployment and dummy of regional autonomy negatively influence migration. Based on the estimation of the model, regional autonomy can reduce the amount of migration.

Judul: Pembuatan Automatic Rain Recorder untuk Pengukuran Curah Hujan Menggunakan Microcontroller ATmega8
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk merancang prototype penakar hujan otomatis atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebutan automatic rain recorder (ARR) dengan akurasi yang diperoleh dari hasil pengujian adalah 88,3%. ARR terdiri dari Microcontroller ATmega8 sebagai CPU (central processing unit) serta akuisisi data. Pewaktuan lokal menggunakan RTC (real time clock) serial dengan dilengkapi baterai litium sebagai backup catu daya. Media penyimpan data menggunakan memori AT24C256 dengan kapasitas hingga 32 Kbyte. Komunikasi dengan komputer menggunakan jalur serial RS232 untuk mengatur waktu RTC dan mengunduh data dari memori . Sensor sebagai penakar curah hujan menggunakan jenis tipping bucket dengan resolusi alat sebesar 0.2 mm. Air hujan yang masuk ke dalam penampung pada tipping bucket menghidupkan read switch dan memberikan logika high pada Microcontroller.
