Hasil uji kerapatan sebesar 0,65-0,84 g/cm3, kadar air 3,14-13,04%, pengembangan tebal 59,08-113,92%, daya serap air 78,18180,74%, MOE 4029-7005 kgf/cm2, MOR 53-146 kgf/cm2, IB 0,71-6,67 kgf/cm2, SHP 42,34-103,44 kgf. Koefisien absorpsi suara (α) pada uji akustik sudah memenuhi standar ISO 11654 dan termasuk ke dalam kelas D untuk serapan normal. Papan partikel bersifat isolator panas dengan nilai KT 0,16-0,21 W/m.K. Uji wettability papan bersifat hidrofilik dengan sudut kontak 65°-89°. Variasi papan partikel kerapatan 0,8 g/cm3 dan ketebalan 6 mm menghasilkan kualitas terbaik sesuai standar SNI 03-2105-2006., Bokashi is an organic fertilizer produced from the fermentation of organic materials such as compost and manure using the help of decomposing microorganisms such as microbes or fermenting fungi. Local microorganisms (MOL) are microorganism that are used as starters in making solid organic fertilizer and liquid fertilizer. Banana weevils contain microbes that decompose organic matter. Brown seaweed salt residue as a basic ingredient for organic fertilizer contains macro nutrients. The residue can be mixed with other organic materials such as straw to increase the decomposition process. This research aims to determine the best concentration of brown seaweed salt residue to characterize the nutrients of bokashi fertilizer fermented using banana weevil mole based on testing N, P, K, C, water content and pH. This research method uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The best concentration of added seaweed salt residue was obtained in the F3 treatment (53% RGRL, 10% husk, 3% bran, 34% MOL).

Judul: The Effect of Sheep Manure and B8 Decomposer on Compost Quality
Abstrak: Bahan organik mempengaruhi sifat fisik, kimia, dan biologi tanah, sehingga dapat menjaga fungsi tanah sebagai media pertumbuhan tanaman. Jerami padi, brangkasan jagung dan batang pisang merupakan limbah pertanian yang potensial untuk dijadikan bahan utama pembuatan kompos. Kualitas bahan kompos menentukan laju dekomposisi bahan kompos. Dalam proses pengomposan sering ditambahkan dekomposer, sebagai agen untuk mempercepat proses dekomposisi. Tujuan percobaan pengomposan ini adalah untuk mempelajari pengaruh kotoran domba dan pengurai B8 terhadap kualitas kompos dari jerami padi, brangkasan jagung, dan batang pisang. Percobaan dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Cikabayan IPB, Dramaga Bogor. Proses pengomposan dilakukan secara aerob. Seberat 15 kg bahan campuran jerami padi, brangkasan jagung dan batang pisang dengan perbandingan 2:2:1 digunakan untuk bahan utama pengomposan untuk setiap satuan percobaan. Perlakuan percobaan pengomposan meliputi kontrol (tanpa kotoran domba dan B8), standar (ditambah 3 kg kotoran domba, tanpa B8), D1 (tanpa kotoran domba, ditambah B8 25 ml), D2 (tanpa kotoran domba, ditambah B8 50 ml), DoD1 (ditambah 3 kg kotoran domba dan B8 25 ml), dan DoD2 (ditambah 3 kg kotoran domba dan B8 50 ml). Semua perlakuan ditambahkan 300 g urea, dibasahi, dibalik dan diaduk setiap 3 minggu. Tumpukan kompos dipertahankan lembabannya selama proses pengomposan. Pengamatan suhu kompos dilakukan setiap minggu mulai minggu ke-1 hingga minggu ke-12 dengan menancapkan termometer kompos ke dalam tumpukan kompos. Pengambilan contoh kompos dilakukan pada 0, 4, 8, dan 12 minggu pengomposan. Uji kualitas kompos didasarkan pada sifat kimiawi kompos yang meliputi kadar C-organik, N, dan S. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan kotoran domba dan dekomposer B8 berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar N, kadar S, nisbah C/N dan C/S, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar C organik. Kualitas kompos terbaik ditemukan pada perlakuan DoD2 dengan nilai C-organik 29,9%, kadar N 1,9%, kadar S 1,2%, nisbah C/N 16,1, dan nisbah C/S 24,7, meskipun secara statistik perlakuan DoD2 dan DoD1 tidak berbeda nyata. Kata kunci : Nisbah C/N, dekomposisi, unsur hara, kompos, Organic matter affects the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil, therefore it can maintain soil function as a medium for plant growth. Rice straw, corn stover and banana stalks are potential agricultural waste to be used as the main material for composting. The quality of the compost material determines the rate of decomposition of the compost material. In the composting process, a decomposer is often added, as an agent to speed up the decomposition process. The purpose of this composting trial was to study the effect of sheep dung and decomposer B8 on the quality of compost from rice straw, corn stover, and banana stalks. The trial was carried out at the Cikabayan Experimental Station IPB, Dramaga Bogor. The composting process is carried out aerobically. A mixture of 15 kg of rice straw, corn stalk and banana stalks with a ratio of 2: 2: 1 is used for the main composting material for each trial unit. The trial treatments were Control (without sheep dung and B8), Standard (added 3kg sheep dung, without B8), D1 (without sheep dung but added B8 25 ml), D2 (without sheep dung but added B8 50 ml) , DoD1 (added 3 kg sheep dung

Judul: Truncated Stop Loss as a Optimal Solution of Reinsurance Agreement in One-Period Model
Abstrak: Reinsurance is one of risk management efforts of an insurance company, which is called the cedent. Similar with insurance, reinsurance constitutes the cedent to pay the premium. We consider one-period reinsurance model and derive a rule which minimizes the ruin probability of the cedent for a fixed reinsurance premium. Therefore, it is needed to construct an optimal reinsurance agreement for the cedent. The premium is calculated according to four different principles, i.e. economic, generalized zero-utility, Esscher, and mean-variance principles. Stop loss is a reinsurance contract which protect the insurance company for losses that exceed a certain amount. The result of this research shows that a truncated stop loss is an optimal agreement in the class of all reinsurance contracts with various premiums calculated using above mentioned principles.
