Judul: Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri pengolahan di Provinsi Jawa Barat (periode 2008-2012)
Abstrak: West Java is the center of the national industry as much as 60 percent of the industrial sector developing in this area. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting labor absorption in the manufacturing sector in West Java Province. This study used the panel data with 26 districts/cities from 2008 to 2012. The results showed that the GDP, the growth rate of the industry, the investment of the industry, and the number of units of industrial enterprises positively affect labor absorption in the manufacturing sector in West Java. Meanwhile, labor productivity of the industrial sector and dummy of industry negatively affect labor absorption in the manufacturing sector in West Java.

Judul: The analysis of factors affecting employment of industries sector in east java province 2001-2011
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Provinsi JawaTimur dengan menggunakan data panel 37 kabupaten di Jawa Timur dari tahun 2001-2011. Variabel bebas yang digunakan adalah Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) riil sektor industri, Upah minimum Kabupaten (UMK), dan jumlah industri di setiap kabupaten yang dianalisis. Sedangkan variabel terikat adalah jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi berganda data panel dengan Fix Effect Model (FEM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa UMK dan jumlah industri berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri di Jawa Timur, sedangkan PDRB riil sektor industri tidak berpengaruh signifikan. UMK berhubungan negatif dengan jumlah tenaga kerja sektor industri, sedangkan jumlah unit industri berhubungan positif., The aim of this reasearch is to anlyze the factors affecting Employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province using panel data from 37 regencies in east java from 2001 to 2011. The independent variable used the real Regional Gross Domectic Product (GDP) of industries sector, minimum wages, and the total of industries in east java. The employment of industries sector were used as dependent variable. The methode used descriptive analysis and regression of panel data using Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The result indicate that minimum wage and the total of industries influence the employment of Industries Sector in East Java Province significantly, while the real regional GDP of industries sector unsignificantly. Minimum wage has negatif relation and the total of industries has positive relation to dependent variable.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
