Judul: Konvergensi Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja Antarkabupaten/kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: For 13 years running the regional autonomy policy has not been able to reduce income inequality among districts/cities in West Java Province. This inequality has an impact on inequality in employment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the convergence process of employment in West Java during 2008-2012. Based on economic growth and unemployment rate mapping result, there is a movement of each region position in 2008 and 2012. This study resulted in an average index of inequality of employment is 0,61 from 2008 to 2012. These results do not correspond with panel data analysis where the coefficients of lagged dependent coefficient value is 0.6720 which is less than one means there is a process of convergence employment with 39.74 percent of the speed of convergence. The results also show that all variables are estimated positive effect to employment level except wages

Judul: Analisis Konvergensi Produktivitas Tenaga Kerja AntarProvinsi di Indonesia
Abstrak: Each province wants to make the process of sustainable development with their regions autonomy. For 13 years running regional autonomy, there is still disparity in Indonesian. This has resulted in a variety of ways, especially labor productivity. During the analysis period, the average of labor productivity highest at Jakarta amounted to 87,16 million rupiah per person and the lowest at NTT amounted to 5,72 million rupiah per person. The purpose of this study is to map the provinces in Indonesia seen from the growth rate of labor productivity and labor productivity value, analyze the degree of disparity in labor productivity, and to analyze process of labor productivity among provinces in Indonesia shows a convergent or divergent process. The research uses dynamic panel data of 33 provinces from 2005 to 2012. Results from the mapping showed that the change of position of the province in 2005 and 2012. Based on analysis of regional disparity found that the labor productivity gap between provinces in Indonesia fluctuating from year to year and tends to decrease. Based on data processing using the SYSGMM obtained that the process of convergence in labor productivity occurred in Indonesia.

Judul: Penggulung daun Sylepta sp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) pada Boehmeria minuticymosa (Urticaceae):
Abstrak: Sylepta sp. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) merupakan kelompok hama yang bersifat polifag. Larva hama ini menyebabkan daun menggulung. Salah satu tanaman inang hama ini adalah gulma Boehmeria minuticymosa N. Acharya & Yonek (Urticaceae). Larva sering diparasit oleh beberapa parasitoid, sehingga bisa bermanfaat sebagai inang alternatif parasitoid dalam pengendalian biologi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengamati beberapa aspek biologi hama ini dan parasitoidnya pada B. minuticymosa. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Biosistematika Serangga, Departemen Proteksi Tanaman, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor, dari bulan Februari hingga Agustus 2018. Larva Sylepta sp. diperoleh dari lapangan dan dipelihara di laboratorium. Aspek biologi yang diamati meliputi jumlah instar larva, stadium larva dan pupa, lama hidup imago, dan parasitoidnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sylepta sp. memiliki empat instar. Rata-rata stadium larva dan pupa adalah 19.59 dan 8.33 hari. Larva menggulung daun dan memakannya dari bagian dalam daun. Pupa berwana cokelat gelap. Lama hidup imago jantan dan betina adalah 4.18 dan 6.09 hari. Parasitoid dari hama ini termasuk Ordo Hymenoptera, Famili Braconidae dan Bethylidae (parasitoid larva) dan Chalcididae (parasitoid pupa).
