Judul: Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Perencanaan Pembangunan untuk Pertumbuhan Investasi Nasional
Abstrak: Sustainable and constructive investment should start with a good planning and should be measurable. Therefore, to facilitate the planning of investment growth a decision support system is made to help government planners make a more measurable and directed planning. Measurable means the plan should be based on accurate data and is reliable, directed means regional investment planning policies are adapted to the conditions required by the area. This decision support system is developed based on the previous econometric research, regarding the Factors Affecting Investment in Indonesia during the 1985-2004 Period and the Analysis of Factors Affecting Foreign Direct Investment in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta and also based on the results of a discussion with the functional planner at the Ministry of National Development Planning (PPN)/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). This system is processing the data using the multivariate regression, with which it can be obtained a positive/negative correlation between the Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) or Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the economic variables. This correlation can be seen from the sign (positive/negative) on a given constant value, if the sign is positive, then it will be interpreted as a suggestion to make the policy that a certain sector as a focus on priority development policy planning, vice versa if it is a negative sign it will be interpreted as a suggestion to make a certain sector policies not as a focus on the priority of development policy planning. These suggestions will support planners at the Ministry of PPN/Bappenas during the planning as outlined in the document National Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and the document Government Work Plan (RKP). The test results show that the accuracy of the system with regards to the previous/historical data is 52% for DDI and 24% for FDI.

Judul: Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and its impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesia.
Abstrak: An important component in the economic development of a country is investment. One form of investment that important for developing countries is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). FDI can increase accumulation of domestic capital. Besides, FDI is important for technology transfer from developed to developing countries. Indonesian Government made several efforts to attract FDI by improving the regulation of investment. However, the achievements of Indonesia in attracting foreign investors is still low compared to other ASEAN countries. Therefore, it is important to know what determinants of FDI that affect FDI inflow in Indonesia. The impact of FDI on the economy of destination country (host country) is actually still being debated. The impact could be positive or negative depend on the condition of host countries. The purposes of this study are to analyze the determinants of FDI inflows in Indonesia and to analyze the impact of FDI to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Indonesia. This study uses secondary data with quarterly period from 1997:1 to 2011:4, obtained from BKPM (Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board), BPS (Statistics Indonesia) and BI (Bank Indonesia). The data include FDI, GDP, real wages, the central government gross fixed capital formation, openness, real exchange rate, real interest rates, Domestic Direct Investment (DDI), government spending and the inflation rate. The analytical methods applied include descriptive analysis method and the simultaneous equations method (2SLS). The variables used as determinants of FDI are GDP, real wages, the central government gross fixed capital formation as a proxy for infrastructure, openness, real exchange rates and real interest rates. The impact of FDI to GDP is estimated by incorporating other variables that also affect the GDP; Domestic Direct Investment (DDI), government spending, openness and the inflation rate. 2SLS results indicate that determinant factors that affect the FDI inflow in Indonesia are GDP, labor wages, infrastructure and openness. Increase in GDP meaning an increase in market size is the dominant factor in attracting FDI inflow in Indonesia. The result also shows that FDI has positive impact on GDP in Indonesia. Some policy implications are suggested to Indonesian Government in order to attract FDI inflows in Indonesia are: (1) increasing economic growth; (2) labor policies particularly wage policy, so Indonesia can compete with other countries in terms of labor cost; (3) improving the infrastructure conditon.

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
