Judul: Pengaruh Indikator Makroekonomi terhadap Permintaan Asuransi Syariah di Indonesia.
Abstrak: Perekonomian memengaruhi permintaan asuransi di Indonesia. Pertumbuhan perekonomian yang baik dicerminkan oleh kondisi variabel makroekonomi yang baik. Kondisi makroekonomi yang baik dapat mencerminkan meningkatnya pendapatan per kapita masyarakat Indonesia sehingga membuat mereka mampu membeli produk asuransi.. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan industri asuransi syariah di Indonesia serta menganalisis pengaruh indikator makroekonomi terhadap permintaan asuransi syariah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Ordinary Least Square (OLS) dengan data deret waktu bulanan dari Januari 2014 sampai dengan Desember 2016. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel jumlah uang beredar, suku bunga, GDP per kapita, dan pendidikan berpengaruh positif (signifikan) terhadap permintaan asuransi syariah di Indonesia. Variabel inflasi dan dependency ratio berpengaruh negatif (signifikan) terhadap permintan asuransi syariah di Indonesia.

Judul: The Effect of Macroeconomics and Population Demographics on the Demand for Islamic Life Insurance in Indonesia
Abstrak: Porsi terbesar dari aset asuransi syariah berasal dari aset asuransi jiwa syariah. Kondisi perekonomian dan demografi memengaruhi permintaan asuransi jiwa syariah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perkembangan asuransi jiwa syariah serta menganalisis pengaruh makroekonomi dan demografi penduduk terhadap permintaan asuransi jiwa syariah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). Hasil analisis ARDL menunjukkan bahwa pada jangka panjang permintaan asuransi jiwa syariah dipengaruhi secara signifikan positif oleh variabel inflasi dan tingkat pendidikan, sedangkan populasi muslim berpengaruh signifikan negatif. Pada jangka pendek dipengaruhi oleh GDP per kapita secara signifikan dan positif, sedangkan inflasi dan populasi muslim berpengaruh negatif., The largest portion of Islamic insurance assets comes from Islamic life insurance assets. Economic conditions and demographics affect the demand for Islamic life insurance. This study aims to analyze the development of Islamic life insurance and analyze the influence of macroeconomics and population demographics on the demand for Islamic life insurance in Indonesia. This research uses quantitative approach with Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The results of the ARDL analysis show that in the long run the demand for Islamic life insurance is significantly positively influenced by inflation and education level variables, while the muslim population has a significant negative effect. In the short term, it is influenced by GDP per capita significantly and positively, while inflation and muslim population have a negative effect.

Judul: Sintesis Flavon dari Fenol dan Benzoil Klorida
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, commonly found in plants with wide bioactivity spectrum. A widely used flavone synthesis route is through acidcatalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-diketone. In this study, unsubstituted flavone had been synthesized via 5-step from phenol, with 22% yield and successfully increased the yield of previous study on Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate and benzoylation of o-HAP steps. Phenol was acetylated resulting 93% phenyl acetate. AlCl3-catalyzed Fries rearrangement in 1.5 hour and at 120 °C converted phenyl acetate into o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) with 40% yield. AlCl3 as catalyst produced o-HAP with higher and reproducible yield compared with BF3·Et2O and ZnCl2. Benzoylation of o-HAP followed by Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester product using KOH in dried pyridine produced β-diketone 1-(2- hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione. The yield of ester and β-diketone were 71% and 85%, respectively. Finally, oxidative cyclization of β-diketone with sulphuric acid as catalyst produced 99% of flavone. The flavone product had been characterized spectroscopically and its melting point as well.
