Judul: Strategi Pengembangan Pengadaan Industri Farmasi Halal di Indonesia
Abstrak: Masyarakat Muslim kini membutuhkan lebih banyak produk dari industri farmasi halal, karena meningkatnya kesadaran kesehatan masyarakat pascapandemi. Sektor pengadaan dalam rantai pasok halal merupakan sektor yang belum banyak mendapat perhatian, tetapi sangat penting untuk menjamin kehalalan suatu produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang strategi pengembangan pengadaan industri farmasi halal Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode ANP-SWOT. Hasil analisis ANP menunjukkan bahwa peluang merupakan prioritas utama. Variabel SWOT yang paling berpengaruh adalah pertumbuhan industri farmasi Indonesia, ketergantungan impor bahan baku obat (BBO), mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia beragama Islam, dan kurangnya dukungan pemerintah dalam pertumbuhan industri bahan dasar. Strategi yang menjadi prioritas adalah peningkatan investasi industri farmasi pada industri kimia dasar yang memproduksi BBO. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diperlukan penguatan dari sisi pendanaan dan dukungan pemerintah dalam mewujudkan industri farmasi Indonesia yang halal dan mandiri.

Judul: Halal agro-industry development strategy in anticipating global halal business
Abstrak: The increasing trend of the world halal products and Muslim population had reached 1.8 billion of 6.5 billion people showed an enormous potential business. It was estimated that 12% or USD 347-500 billion of the global food and agricultural products trading per year was halal products. This study aimed to assess halal agroindustrial development strategy by using a combination of observations, direct comparisons method, SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity, threats) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to increase Indonesian competitiveness on global halal business and products. The review began with the identification of global halal agro-industry and its business trend development as by observing and identifying five groups of halal products in Malaysia International halal Showcase (MIHAS) in 2009-2011 period. Accordingly, halal agro-industry development external and internal criteria were identified using SWOT analysis to be compared among six ASEAN countries to determine ASEAN halal agro-industry competitiveness position. Finally, Indonesian halal agro-industry strategy alternatives were formulated under SWOT-AHP method. Data was collected by conducting focus group discussions, depth interviews, questioners which were involving 34 respondents in total consisted of experts, policy makers, industrialists, international customers, associations and academicians. The results showed that the developments of Indonesian halal agro-halal were potentially strategic. Indonesian halal agroindustry premised in a strategic position, but it was situated in the fifth position among other six ASEAN countries. The development of Indonesian halal agroindustry was formulated to protect halal domestic market and gradually to increase its national competitiveness to become a global halal business excellence. The strategies chosen were developing halal compatible logistics infrastructure, improving legislation and long-term development plans, increasing coordination among the policies and interests, developing advocacy on trading and networking skills, increasing the competitiveness of the domestic halal products, increasing the halal agro-industry research and development mastery, increasing public awareness and the creation of the halal industry champions. The results of this study expected to be used as a reference for various stakeholders for strategic decision making to increase Indonesian halal agro-industry competitiveness.

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.
