Judul: Pengaruh Sertifikat Halal terhadap Omzet IKM Produk Makanan di Kota Padang.
Abstrak: Penelitian tentang dampak kehalalan produk terhadap omzet Industri Kecil dan Menengah (IKM) belum banyak dilakukan terutama di Kota Padang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan IKM produk makanan bersertifikat halal di Kota Padang, serta menganalisis pengaruh sertifikat halal terhadap omzet IKM tersebut. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kota Padang dengan 20 responden yang memiliki sertifikat halal dan 20 responden yang tidak memiliki sertifikat halal. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif, analisis regresi linear berganda dan uji sampel berpasangan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat perbedaan omzet IKM yang memiliki dan tidak memiliki sertifikat halal. Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi peningkatan perolehan omzet IKM secara positif dan signifikan adalah modal, jumlah produksi, dummy kepemilikan sertifikat halal, dan dummy promosi. Sementara, faktor yang tidak memengaruhi perolehan omzet IKM produk makanan di Kota Padang adalah lama usaha dan jumlah tenaga kerja.

Judul: Dampak Program Fasilitasi Sertifikat Halal Terhadap Peningkatan Omzet Industri Kecil dan Menengah (IKM) Makanan dan Minuman di Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Sertifikat halal merupakan jaminan bagi umat muslim dalam mengonsumsi produk yang halal dan aman. Program fasilitasi sertifikat halal merupakan salah satu upaya pemerintah dalam membantu produsen makanan dan minuman memperoleh sertifikat halal. Studi ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak program fasilitasi sertifikat halal terhadap peningkatan omzet dan menganalisis faktorfaktor yang memengaruhi peningkatan omzet Industri Kecil dan Menengah (IKM) makanan dan minuman setelah sertifikasi halal. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Kota Bogor menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan total 40 responden Metode yang digunakan yaitu uji t dua sampel berpasangan dan regresi linier berganda. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa program fasilitasi sertifikat halal berdampak positif terhadap peningkatan omzet IKM. Sementara itu, faktpr-faktor yang memengaruhi peningkatan omzet IKM adalah peningkatan modal, usia, dummy jenis industri, dummy kepemilikan izin usaha, dan dummy pencantuman label halal.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
