Judul: Analisis Daya Saing UKM Berbasis Susu melalui Keterikatan Karyawan, Kompensasi, Budaya Kerja dan Kompetensi di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Tingkat produksi susu nasional yang terus meningkat perlu didukung dengan pengembangan sistem-sistem manajerial agar dapat meningkatkan tingkat konsumsi susu sapi oleh penduduk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis sistem kompensasi berbasi job value, menganalisis pengaruh work engagement (keterikatan kerja), budaya kerja, kompensasi, dan kompetensi terhadap daya saing UKM serta menganalisis faktor utama yang paling menentukan daya saing pada UKM Berbasis Susu di KUNAK, Kabupaten Bogor. Sumber data pada penelitian ini terdiri dari data primer (observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner) dan data sekunder (studi literatur) yang diolah dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif, point system, regresi linier serta SEM dengan bantuan software smartPLS. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh sistem kompensasi yang efisien untuk diterapkan oleh UKM Berbasis Susu di Kabupaten Bogor yaitu struktur penggajian dengan penggolongan dan daya saing UKM Berbasis Susu di Kabupaten Bogor dipengaruhi oleh budaya kerja serta kompetensi dengan kompetensi yang paling mempengaruhi daya saing.

Judul: Pengaruh Kompensasi, Budaya Kerja, Work Engagement dan Kompetensi terhadap Daya Saing UKM Susu di Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Susu merupakan salah satu UKM bidang peternakan yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan. Perkotaan merupakan wilayah yang didominasi pembangunan kota, padat penduduk dan hanya sedikit tersedia lahan peternakan, namun UKM susu di Kota Bogor memiliki pangsa pasar yang mampu bertahan sehingga berpotensi untuk dikembangkan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk: (1) Mengidentifikasi rantai pasok susu di Kota Bogor (2) Menganalisis sistem kompensasi berbasis point system pada UKM Susu di Kota Bogor, dan (3) Menganalisis pengaruh kompensasi, budaya kerja, work engagement, dan kompetensi terhadap daya saing UKM Susu di Kota Bogor. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif, analisis kompensasi berbasis point system, dan SEM-PLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukan alur rantai pasok yang dominan digunakan adalah rantai pasok peternak ke industri rumah tangga, sistem kompensasi yang efisien untuk diterapkan adalah sistem kompensasi tanpa penggolongan, faktor budaya kerja dan kompetensi memiliki pengaruh terhadap daya saing, sedangkan kompensasi dan work engagement tidak berpengaruh terhadap daya saing UKM Susu di Kota Bogor.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
