Judul: Persepsi Peran Zakat Terhadap Keberlangsungan Studi Mahasiswa IPB (Kasus Pendayagunaan Zakat UPZ LAZ IPB).
Abstrak: Banyak remaja yang setelah lulus dari sekolah menengah umum (SMU) tidak mampu melanjutkan pendidikannya ke perguruan tinggi karena keterbatasan ekonomi. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya upaya dari pemerintah dan masyarakat terhadap keberlangsungan pendidikan, salah satunya melalui pemberian beasiswa. Salah satu Lembaga Amil Zakat (LAZ) yang memberikan bantuan pendidikan berupa beasiswa di perguruan tinggi adalah UPZ LAZ IPB. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan perkembangan zakat UPZ LAZ IPB, menganalisis persepsi peran zakat terhadap keberlangsungan studi mustahik, serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB. Metode regresi logistik digunakan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keberlangsungan studi mustahik. Hasil analisis dengan regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa besar bantuan dan IPK berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB, sedangkan status bekerja berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap keberlangsungan studi mahasiswa IPB.

Judul: Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi preferensi pegawai berzakat di UPZ LAZ IPB
Abstrak: The goal of Government Regulation Decree No 14/ 2014 is to help BAZNAS for zakat collectioning by forming zakat collector unit in government institution, one of them is in higher education campusses to collect income zakat from their officers. Zakat Collector Unit of Amil Zakat Institution of Bogor Agricultural University (UPZ LAZ IPB) was established at 2003 but until now this institution (UPZ LAZ IPB) has not been so wellknown by IPB students, officers, and lecturers. The aims of this research is to describe the development of income’s zakat of officers and describe factors influencing of officers to pay income’s zakat in Zakat Collector Unit of Amil Zakat Institution of Bogor Agricultural University (UPZ LAZ IPB). This research was conducted from April 2014 to June 2014. Logistic regression conducted to analyze the factors that affect officers to pay zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB. The result of logistic regression showed that service and job position was significanly affect the employees to pay their income zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB, and the reason why the officers do not pay zakat in UPZ LAZ IPB is the easy way of paying zakat directly to mustahik.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
