Abstrak: Abstrak : Perihal penting yang dibahas dalam UU No. 21 Tahun 2008 adalah kewajiban unit usaha syariah (UUS) memisahkan diri menjadi bank umum syariah (BUS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh tipe pemisahan dan rasio keuangan terhadap return on asset dari periode kuartal I 2015 sampai kuartal IV 2019. Metode yang digunakan regresi data panel dan Mann Whitney U-Test. Sampel penelitian dipilih berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel tipe pemisahan berpengaruh signifikan, CAR dan FDR berpengaruh positif, BOPO dan NPF berpengaruh ngeatif terhadap ROA. Hasil Mann Whitney U-Test menunjukkan bahwa hanya variabel CAR yang perbedaan kinerja keuangan antara BUS hasil pemisahan murni dan akuisisi-konversi. Pemilihan tipe pemisahan UUS sebaiknya mempertimbangkan kondisi dan tujuan kedepannya. Selanjutnya, BUS hasil pemisahan sebaiknya memperhatikan rasio CAR, BOPO, FDR dan NPF agar dapat meningkatkan profitabilitas., An important matter discussed in law No. 21 of 2008 is the obligation of the sharia business unit (UUS) to spin-off into a sharia commercial bank (BUS). This study aims to determine the effect of the spin-off and financial ratios on return on assets from the second quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2020. The method used is panel data regression and Mann Whitney U-Test. The research sample was selected based on purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the variable type of separation had a significant effect, CAR and FDR had a positive effect, BOPO and NPF had a negative effect on ROA. The results of the Mann Whitney U-Test show that only the CAR variable is the difference in financial performance between BUS resulting from pure separation and acquisition-conversion. The selection of the type of UUS separation should consider the conditions and future goals. Furthermore, the separated BUS should pay attention to the ratio of CAR, BOPO, FDR and NPF to increase profitability.

Judul: Kapasitas Konsumsi Larva dan Imago Epilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) pada Inang Terung (Solanum melongena) dan Tomat (Lycopersicum esculentum).
Abstrak: The hadda beetle of Epilachna vigintioctopunctata is an important pest on Solanaceae plants. Crops devoliation are strongly influenced by food consumption pattern on each host plant. The aim of this study is to compare the consumption of E. vigintioctopunctata on eggplant and tomato leaves and its influenced on the acceleration of larval growth rate, the body size, the length of each instars periods, and standing position of the beetles during eating. Each tested leaf was taken from two-month-old host plants and fed to newly hatched instars larvae. The daily leaf areal consumed and the body lengths of insect were measured until the adult died. The changing of instars morph and the position of insect on the leaf surface were also observed. The average rate of food consumption by fourth instar larvae and adult were significantly higher on eggplants 190.5 and 190.8 mm2/days compared with tomatoes 76.40 and 127.1 mm2/days, respectively. The total areas of damaging leaf within 17.2 days during larval and adult feeding stage were 2069.1 mm2/insect on eggplants and 1067.3 mm2/insect on tomatoes. Food consumption on the eggplant shortened the length of the pupal period and increased the longevity of adult to become 4 and 9 days, respectively. Highly food consumption by the third instar larvae almost produced the same size of the next fourth instar, further consumption caused the lengthened of pupal size and the shortened of adult on the eggplant compared with tomato. The growth rate of larval body size was 0.5-0.7 mm/day on eggplants significantly higher than tomatoes was 0.1-0.3 mm/day. The adult beetles tend to stay on the upper surface, while the larvae prefer on the lower surface of both eggplant and tomato leaves. In general, E. vigintioctopunctata devastated more on the eggplant than tomato leaves.
