Judul: Studi peramalan ekspor furniture Indonesia
Abstrak: The world demand for wood working product that increases continually and wood processing technology that is getling more advanced are a good condition promote really efficient wood utiliition. Currently, one of wood industries substansial that becomes export back bone contributing foreign exchange is furniture. Government predicted that the gowth of furniture product export and handycraft in 2007 were 10-15%. Opportunity to increase the export is still high, but attention to design, quality and supply consistency need to be talen in to account. Therefore, based on information mentioned forecasting study of furniture export from Indonesia needs to be done to produce a model that can be used to estimate fimiture export dynamics. Purposes of this study are (1) to forecast or estimate dynamics of furniture export from Indonesia based on the model produced, (2) to investigate the factors influencing furniture export.

Judul: Daya Saing dan Faktor-Faktor yang Memengaruhi Ekspor Furnitur Kayu Indonesia ke Negara Tujuan Utama
Abstrak: Komoditas furnitur kayu adalah salah satu komoditas yang potensial untuk dikembangkan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk menganalisis daya saing furnitur kayu Indonesia dengan kode HS 940360 ke negara tujuan utama yang terdiri dari sembilan negara tujuan dalam periode tahun 2012 hingga 2019. RCA, EPD, dan Model X serta regresi data panel digunakan sebagai metode analisis pada penelitian ini. Berdasarkan penelitian, diperoleh hasil bahwa furnitur kayu Indonesia memiliki daya saing komparatif yang kuat di seluruh negara tujuan ekspor. Hasil EPD menggambarkan posisi furnitur kayu Indonesia di sembilan negara tujuan utama yakni, rising star, falling star, dan retreat. Hasil estimasi regresi data panel menunjukkan bahwa variabel GDP negara tujuan, GDP Indonesia, harga ekspor, nilai tukar riil, dan nilai RCA berpengaruh signfikan terhadap ekspor furnitur kayu Indonesia ke sembilan negara tujuan. Sementara, variabel pertumbuhan populasi tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap ekspor furnitur kayu Indonesia di sembilan negara tujuan., The Indonesian wooden furniture commodity is a potential commodity to be developed. This research study is conducted to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian wooden furniture with HS code 940360 in nine main destination countries from period of 2012 to 2019. RCA, EPD, X Model and panel data regression are used as the analytical methods. The results showed that Indonesian wooden furniture has strong comparative competitiveness in nine export destination countries. The EPD results show that Indonesia’s position in nine destination countries is varied, namely rising star, falling star and retreat. The panel data regression’s results indicate that the variables of destination country’s GDP, Indonesian GDP, export prices, real exchange rates, and RCA values affect the export of Indonesian wood furniture to the nine main export destination countries significantly. Meanwhile, the population growth variable has no significant effect on the export of Indonesian wooden furniture to the nine destination countries.

Judul: Isolasi dan purifikasi inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C dari bakteriosin bakteri asam laktat S34
Abstrak: Target molecular therapy is one of method to prevent hepatitis C virus which was developed recently. NS3 Helicase/RNA helicase hepatitis C virus inhibition using inhibitory peptide are target in molecular therapy. Bacteriocin are inhibitory peptides which can inhibit hepatitis C virus through inhibition of NS3 helicase. Bacteriocin is a peptide which is produced by lactic acid bacteria. The aim of this research were to isolate and to purify bacteriocin from S34 lactic acid bacteria which has high activity to inhibit RNA helicase of hepatitis C virus. S34 lactic acid bacteria were identified using 16S RNA amplification and DNA sequencing identification of S34 lactic acid bacteria was Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. The bacterial growth reached logaritmic phase at 7 hours and stationary phase at 10 hours. Bacteriocin were isolated and purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation with 80% saturation, gel filtration chromatography, and characterization of bacteriocin through molecular weight analysis and measured protein concentration. Bacteriocin from S34 lactic acid bacteria were included in 2nd class bacteriocin, had 64.20 % of inhibition against RNA helicase hepatitis C virus, had molecular weight about 1.7-4.2 kDa, and specific activity in the amount of 2.84 x 106 U/mg.
