Judul: Typology of poverty and vulnerability based on agro-ecosystem and their implication on poverty alleviation policies
Abstrak: Kemiskinan di Indonesia masih merupakan masalah se rius meskipun berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk menanggulangin ya. Secara umum, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tipologi k emiskinan dan kerentanan, variabel penciri kemiskinan serta memberikan rekome ndasi pengurangan kemiskinan dengan pendekatan berbasis agroekosistem . Ruang lingkup penelitian yaitu kemiskinan perdesaan dengan pendekatan agroekosistem. Tipologi kemiskinan meliputi indikat or kemiskinan, sifat dan kerentanan kemiskinan. Indikator kemiskinan dihitun g dengan menggunakan FGT Index. Kerentanan kemiskinan diukur dengan elas tisitas indikator kemiskinan terhadap garis kemiskinan dan peluang un tuk keluar dari kemiskinan. Variabel penciri kemiskinan diestimasi menggunakan regresi logit dengan pengeluaran sebagai variabel dependen. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kemiskinan berasosiasi kuat dengan agroekosistem. Tipologi kemiskinan berbeda pada tiap agroekosistem. Kemiskinan tidak secara acak terjadi, tetapi mengikuti pola-pola tertentu (systematic patterns)., Poverty has always been a serious problem in Indon esia eventhough various efforts have been conducted to alleviate po verty and its vulnerability. In general, the objectives of the research are to anal yze typology and characteristics of Indonesian poverty and its vulne rability based on agro- ecosystem as well as to provide recommendation on p overty alleviation using agro-ecosystem approaches. Scope of the research includes poverty in Indonesi a based on agro- ecosystem zone. Poverty indicator is analyzed by us ing FGT Index, while vulnerability is estimated by utilizing elasticity and probability theory. Poverty characteristic is estimated by using logarithmic re gression with outputs as dependent variables.

Judul: The impact of economic policy in the agroindustry sector on the income distribution and poverty in Indonesia
Abstrak: Kemiskinan di Indonesia sebagian besar berada di sektor pertanian dan perdesaan dan menjadi permasalahan nasional yang serius. Masalah kemiskinan dan distribusi pendapatan terkait erat dengan strategi pembangunan ekonomi yang dilakukan. Kebijakan pengembangan agroindustri merupakan salah satu kebijakan pemerintah yang diharapkan berdampak mengurangi kemiskinan dan memperbaiki distribusi pendapatan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran sektor agroindustri dalam perekonomian nasional dan dampak kebijakan ekonomi di sektor agroindustri terhadap distribusi pendapatan dan kemiskinan. Kebijakan ekonomi yang dimaksud adalah kebijakan peningkatan pengeluaran pemerintah, ekspor, investasi dan insentif pajak di sektor agroindustri dan redistribusi pendapatan. Analisis menggunakan data Sistem Neraca Sosial Ekonomi (SNSE) yang didisagregasi ke dalam agroindustri makanan dan non makanan. Simulasi kebijakan di sektor agroindustri dilanjutkan untuk menganalisis distribusi pendapatan dan kemiskinan menggunakan data SNSE dan SUSENAS., Indonesia poverty incidences are mostly found in the rural areas and in the agricultural sector. At present, the incidence is becoming more increasing and has drawn a national attention. Poverty and income distribution are closely related to the economic development. Agroindustry development policy is one of the government policies aim to have positive impacts on the income equality and poverty in Indonesia. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of agroindustry in the Indonesian economy and to analyze the impact of the government expenditure, export, investment and tax policy in agroindustry sector on the income distribution and poverty.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
