Judul: Preferensi Penggunaan Uang Fiat Dibandingkan Uang Berbasis Logam Mulia (Studi Eksperimen Berdasarkan Motif Transaksi, Berjagajaga dan Spekulasi).
Abstrak: Penelitian ini berupaya memberikan opsi lain bagi instrumen pembayaran di Indonesia berupa uang berbasis logam mulia, yaitu uang yang memiliki nilai intrinsik karena mengandung beberapa gram emas sesuai dengan nominal uang. Untuk mengetahui sejauh mana uang berbasis logam mulia dapat diterima oleh masyarakat, maka akan diteliti preferensi penggunaan uang fiat dibandingkan uang berbasis logam mulia serta faktor yang memengaruhinya. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan regresi logistik dengan pendekatan eksperimental ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa uang berbasis logam mulia lebih banyak dipilih daripada uang fiat (Rupiah dan Dolar) pada motif transaksi dan berjaga-jaga serta motif spekulasi. Secara umum, usia dapat memengaruhi preferensi pada motif transaksi dan berjaga-jaga sedangkan faktor yang memengaruhi preferensi pada motif spekulasi terdiri dari usia, pendapatan dan pilihan menyimpan uang tunai atau di bank.

Judul: Efek Inflasi Dan Nilai Tukar Terhadap Preferensi Memegang Uang Fiat atau Uang Berbasis Logam Mulia: Studi Eksperimental
Abstrak: Penurunan nilai rupiah ini disebabkan oleh menguatnya Dollar Amerika Serikat (AS), kondisi perekonomian global yang memanas akibat adanya perang dagang AS dan China dan kenaikan Federal Funds Rate yang menyebabkan Indonesia mengalami dampak dari fenomena tersebut, salah satu dampaknya adalah melemahnya nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dollar, hal tersebut menandakan nilai tukar Indonesia masih sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi eksternal. Sehingga dollar dinilai lebih menguntungkan daripada rupiah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental dengan regresi logistik, menggunakan SPSS yang bertujuan melihat preferensi individu terhadap pilihan jenis uang jika dihadapkan dengan informasi-informasi, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa informasi inflasi dan nilai tukar dapat mempengaruhi pilihan jenis uang yang akan digunakan individu. Lalu untuk variabel karakteristik yang berpengaruh terhadap pilihan jenis uang didominasi oleh variabel usia, pendapatan dan universitas.

Judul: Development of DNA Vaccine Encoding Glycoprotein of Koi Herpes Virus Using Local Isolate.
Abstrak: The aim of this research was to develop DNA vaccine of Koi Herpesvirus in carp. Glycoprotein gene originated from ORF 25 KHV virus that is 1.8 kbp in size, is a potential gene in DNA vaccine construction. The sequencing and similarity analysis of the gene using BLAST software showed that this gene is a GP25 gene and was found to be very similar (99%) to GP25 of KHV virus from the USA and Israel. When this GP25 gene was ligated with pGEMT Easy (pT, 3 kbp in size) vector, plasmid size was increasing up to 5 kb. Following this, a digestion of pT-GP25 plasmid using Sal I enzyme was applied resulted in a GP25 fragment (1.8 kbp). Subsequently, pAct-D6 with a size of 8.5 kbp was also cut using the same enzyme to eleminate a D6 gene with a size of 1.6 kbp. GP25 gene was then ligated with pAct resulted a pAct-GP25 plasmid with a size of 8.8 kbp. As there was only one restriction site applied, ligation can be occurred in two different directions. Thus, in order to determine the plasmid with the desired direction PCR analysis was carried out, and plasmid with the right direction was the one that sized approximately 2.1 kbp (no. 6, 17 and 20). High level of GFP gene expression was detected in all tissues analyzed, i.e. kidney, gil, spleen, and muscle 24 hours after injection which indicated that β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka could be active in common carp. Although not as high as on 24 hours, expression was still detected until day 7 and disappeared after day 28 post injection indicating that pAct-GFP can be remained and β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka can be active in muscle, gills and kidney at least a week after injection. The result of RT-PCR analysis on pAct-GP25 injected common carp showed that GP25 gene expression can be detected 14 days after injection in all tissues observed. The expression level differences between GFP and GP25 genes possibly related to the primer sensitivity on annealing process to cDNA template and the size of PCR targeted DNA fragment, as smaller PCR targeted product will be easier to be amplified than a bigger one. The length of PCR targeted DNA with GP25 primer was 1.8 kbp whereas GFP gene was 0.6 kbp.The challenge test on common carp results showed that all unvaccinated and negative control (not infected with KHV) was alive until the end of the experiment. Whereas, the survival of fish vaccinated with a dose of 12.5 was ranged from 60.9 and 96.7%. In relation to the activity of β-actin promoter that was used in this DNA vaccine, gene expression was occured 24 hours after vaccination and remained until 2 weeks. The control fish that was not injected by GP25 showed no GP25 expression either in the observed tissues or organs and resulted in a lower survival, i.e. 23.3%. The challenge test results has indicated that the fish vaccinated with GP25 at doses of 7.5 and 12.5 μg/100μL were able to produce KHV glycoprotein in their body which would be
