Judul: Rate of Return to Investment in Education in Faculty of Economics and Management IPB University Graduates
Abstrak: Perguruan tinggi dituntut untuk mencapai target Indeks Kinerja Utama Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (IKU-PTN) yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan terkait lulusan yang layak. Maka dari itu, perguruan tinggi perlu untuk melakukan survey serta penilaian. Hal tersebut mendorong Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen untuk meningkatkan mutu lulusan maupun pelayanan. Sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisa hasil pengembalian investasi pendidikan serta kelayakan pada lulusan Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen IPB. Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah data kuantitatif dan kualitatif melalui data primer dan sekunder. Metode penentuan dan penarikan sampel yang digunakan adalah nonprobability sampling dan purposive sampling. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 150 orang. Metode yang digunakan berupa analisis deskriptif dan pengembalian investasi. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk mengolah data pada karakteristik responden. Adapun analisis pengembalian investasi berupa Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Rate of Return (ROR), Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), dan Internal Rate of Return (IRR) serta analisis loyalitas lulusan menggunakan Net Promoter Score (NPS). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, bahwa kelayakan investasi pendidikan dari gaji lulusan dinyatakan layak namun hasil penghitungan terkait nilai manfaat berdasarkan tabungan dinyatakan tidak layak. Loyalitas lulusan terhadap Fakultas Ekonomi dan Manajemen mayoritas berada dalam kategori passive.

Judul: Development  strategy  performance  based studies program to world class university at departement of management  fem- ipb.
Abstrak: Departemen Manajemen FEM-IPB merupakan salah satu program studi yang menyelenggarakan Program Sarjana, Program Pascasajana Mayor Ilmu Manajemen serta Program Alih Jenis Manajemen. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan evaluasi diri yang mengaitkan berbagai program penjaminan mutu yang ada sehingga terfokus pada tujuan-tujuan organisasi, ukuran-ukuran kinerja utama dan target yang terkait dengan tujuan strategik jangka panjang. Berdasarkan permasalahan ini maka perlu dilakukan pengukuran kinerja menggunakan metode Balanced Scorecard. Tujuan penelitian adalah (1) Menganalisis implementasi pelaksanaan penilaian mutu program studi Departemen Manajemen berdasarkan BSC tahun 2011-2012 (2) Menganalisis rumusan dan gambaran peta strategi Departemen Manajemen FEM-IPB (3) Menganalisis ukuran pencapaian kinerja Departemen Manajemen pada tahun 2013 dengan perhitungan BSC dan inisiatif strategis yang tepat untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan pada Departemen Manajemen secara berkelanjutan.Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa kinerja Departemen Manajemen memperoleh nilai 63,02% yang berarti cukup (diekspresikan dengan warna kuning). Kinerja ini dapat diperbaiki dengan menerapkan program berupa inisiatif strategis terutama pada Indikator Kinerja Kunci yang bernilai rendah., Departement of Management FEM-IPB held courses Undergraduate Program, Management Sciences of Pascasajana Major and Management Transfer Programme.. Therefore, self-evaluation is needed to link the various existing quality assurance programs that focused on organizational objectives, key performance measures and associated with long-term strategic goals targets. Balanced Scorecard method use for performance measurement based this problem. The objective of this reasearch are (1) to implementation analyze for quality assessment in 2011-2012 (2) to formulate and describe strategy map (3) to measure performance achievement analyze Departement of Management in 2013 with BSC calculations and strategic initiatives to increase the education quality in Departement of Management countinuiting. Results indicate that performance of Departement of Management still sufficient with 63.02% value (expressed in yellow). That performance can be improved by implementing a program strategic initiatives primarily on Key Performance Indicators law value.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
