Abstrak: Government assets inventory in the Secretariat of the Vice-President office is still carried out manually. Assets are recorded into the main book only for new assets or goods, however unused assets have not been well recorded. This condition raises several problems, such as time consuming for assets recording process, difficulty in data collection of inventory items, difficulty in goods inventory in the warehouse, unidentified asssets condition (damaged items) for the elimination of the goods and the lack of accurate data on the number of items in the warehouse. Therefore, this study is carried out to design a management information system of government assets inventory in the Secretariat of the Vice President office. The management information system development consists of four stages: inception, elaboration, construction and transition stages. Development of a web-based system is conducted by using PHP programming language. A black-box testing technique is used to test the system. The developed system is expected to assist in conducting a better and well organized government assets inventory process. Government assests inventory management information system will also be more user-friendly especially for inventory.

Judul: Pengembangan Modul Sumber Daya Manusia pada Sistem Informasi Akreditasi Program Studi Menggunakan Agile Unified Process
Abstrak: Accreditation is one way to ensure that an institution is capable of performing certain activities. One of the agencies that provide accreditation for study programs is Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi (BAN-PT). The quality of study programs is determined from the accreditation results. During the accreditation process, fulfillment of accreditation form was done manually. Data requirements for accreditation increase dynamically every period of accreditation. Therefore, a system is needed that is capable of managing data, especially human resources data from a variety of sources more quickly and efficiently. Data collected for accreditation forms filling needs are adjusted to suit the appropriate accreditation forms. Study Program Accreditation Information System (SIAPS) was developed using the Agile Unified Process (AUP) methods, which consists of four phases: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. This system was developed using Yii and tested using the black box methods. The results of testing system generate the accreditation forms that have been filled according to BAN-PT standard.

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.
