Judul: Impact of allocation rural fund policy in decentralization era on regional economy in Indonesia
Abstrak: This research attempts to describe and analyze the impact of allocation rural fund in decentralization era on regional economy in Indonesia.The analysis applied in this research are Klassen Typologi, Williamson index and econometric model. This study has succesfully formulated a model and using panel data method (time series data of 2005-2009 and cross section data of twenty five Province in Indonesia). The model was developed into a simultaneous equations, consisting of 14 structural equations and 11 identity equations. The results of this research obtain an evidence that Provinces of Indonesia spread in 4 (four) criteria in the Klassen Tipology. In addition, this study also indicates that the disparity among Province of Indonesia in the period of 2005 to 2009 will be higher if allocation rural fund conducted as Government Regulation Number 72 Year 2005.The result of simulation also shows that ADD in rural area could reduce poverty level and increase original regional income (PAD). Finally, the research concludes that the increase of ADD in decentralization era can increase fiscal and economic performance, however the transfer of ADD also increases the disparity among regions in Indonesia. In order to reduce the negative impact of ADD, the government needs to use a affirmative policy in the implementing of ADD.

Judul: Impact of government spending on economic performance and poverty allevation in term of fiscal decentralization
Abstrak: The purposes of this study were to analyze the factors affecting the revenue and allocation of national budget and local government spending and its impact on the economy, flypaper effect, and to formulate policy recommendations in term of more effective and efficient government spending.

The results were: (1) potential local goverment revenue, fiscal need, and central government transfer were factors that determined the local goverment revenue, sharing revenue, and central government transfer, (2) flypaper effect occured on local expenditures, (3) decocentration funding and assistant task in agricultural sector had more affect on the growth of the agricultural sector, (4) sectoral budget allocation has a positive impact on the economic growth, employment, welfare and poverty allevation, especialy on Indonesia Easterm Regions and (5) The increased general fund allocation (DAU) had a greatest impact on fiscal performance and the regional economy (6) increase revenue-sharing and specific fund had positive impact on economic growth and reduce local government depedency on central government budget. Policy recommendations were: (1) enhancing the sources of local revenue potentially to be the alternative policy due to the fact that increased DAU provide the greatest impact to the regional economy, but will lead to increased dependency to the central government, then increasing revenue sharing may improve fiscal capacity and economic performance, (2) realocation of routine spending to development spending may improve economic performance, (3) designing the clearly authorities between central and local government on several sectors, including on the agricultural development that will be able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government spending, and (4) Future studies need to be done with the data at the district or town level, and separate spesific fund by sector.

Judul: Perancangan Proses Produksi Telur Asin Rendah Kolesterol
Abstrak: Telur asin merupakan produk olahan telur yang digemari masyarakat, tetapi mengandung kolesterol yang melebihi batasan konsumsi harian manusia. Tahap pengolahan, telur asin direndam dalam larutan khusus guna menurunkan kandungan kolesterol di dalam telur. Proses ini melibatkan pengaturan waktu pemeraman, konsentrasi larutan, dan bahan-bahan lainnya untuk mencapai hasil yang diinginkan. Formulasi telur asin yang terpilih yaitu pemeraman selama 12 hari dalam larutan garam 32,5% yang dicampur bawang putih, sereh, dan daun jeruk cincang, perendaman dalam larutan soda 20% selama 4 jam, dan dikukus selama satu jam. Kadar kolesterol sebesar 233,39 mg/100 g pada hari pertama dan mengalami penurunan menjadi 131,61 mg/100 g pada hari kesepuluh., Salted eggs are a popular egg product among the community, but they contain cholesterol that exceeds the daily human consumption limit. In the processing stage, the salted eggs are immersed in a special solution to reduce the cholesterol content inside the eggs. This process involves adjusting the soaking time, solution concentration, and other ingredients to achieve the desired results. The selected salted egg formulation is marinating for 12 days in 32.5% salt solution mixed with garlic, lemongrass, and chopped lime leaves, marinating in 20% soda solution for 4 hours, and steaming for one hour. The cholesterol level was measured at 233.39 mg/100g on the first day and decreased to 131.61 mg/100g on the tenth day.
