Judul: Pengembangan Human Capital (Modal Insani) terhadap Kinerja Karyawan pada PT Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) Tbk.
Abstrak: Perkembangan bisnis yang begitu pesat, khususnya industri pertelevisian membuat stasiun televisi harus mengembangkan seluruh kemampuan organisasi termasuk pengembangan sumber daya manusia. PT Surya Citra Televisi merupakan stasiun televisi swasta yang telah mengembangkan modal insani dalam organisasi. Pengembangan modal insani diharapkan meningkatkan nilai perusahaan dengan peningkatan kinerja karyawan. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari-April 2013. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik convenience sampling, alat analisis yang digunakan yaitu Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) dengan bantuan software LISREL 8.30 for Windows. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengembangan modal insani memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan SCTV, dengan nilai 0,59, dan dapat disimpulkan peningkatan modal insani akan meningkatkan kinerja karyawan. Indikator modal insani yang memiliki pengaruh paling besar terhadap modal insani adalah pengetahuan lain dengan loading factor sebesar 0,71. Terdapat dua indikator yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kinerja karyawan yaitu kualitas kerja, dan kooperatif dengan loading factor 0,85.

Judul: Peran Modal insani, Corporate Value dan Good Corporate Governance Melalui Kinerja Karyawan terhadap Kinerja Perusahaan di PTPN VII Lampung.
Abstrak: Perubahan yang terjadi dalam lingkungan bisnis menyebabkan berbagai perusahaan terus berusaha memperbaiki strategi bisnisnya, bertujuan agar bisa bertahan dan mempunyai keunggulan bersaing. Puncak perubahan tersebut dengan dimulainya era bisnis pada era informasi dan era pengetahuan. Pada era ini strategi bisnis yang dipandang cocok diantaranya penerapan sistem pengembagan SDM berbasiskan human capital dan pengelolaan perusahaan berbasiskan nilai-nilai (corporate value) dan good corporate governance (GCG). PT Perkebunan Nusantara VII sebagai perusahaan BUMN bidang agribisnis berupaya menerapkan sitem tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji bagaimana hubungan antara human capital, corporate value dan good corporate governance (GCG) serta kaitannya terhadap kinerja karyawan dan kinerja perusahaan. Populasi penelitian ini adalah karyawan kantor pusat PTPN VII sebanyak 400 orang. Jumlah contoh yang ditetapkan sebanyak 120 responden. Teknik penarikan contoh yang digunakan adalah non probability sampling dengan teknik quota sampling. Metode pengolahan dan analisis data menggunakan Analisis struktural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS), pengolahan data mengunakan sofware smartPLS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa implementasi human capital yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan berperan positif terhadap peningkatan kenerja karyawan. Implementasi dan internalisasi corporate value terhadap karyawan berperan posititif terhadap peningkatan kinerja karyawan. Peningkatan kinerja karyawan berperan positif meningkatakan kinerja perusahaan. Implementasi prinsip-prinsip GCG dapat meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan, tapi tidak dapat memberikan pengaruh dalam peningkatan kinerja karyawan.

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
