Analisis Kausalitas Antara Upah dan Tingkat Employment di Propinsis Jawa Tengah Tahun 1979 - 2004

Dalam penelitian ini penulis mengambil judul “ANALISIS KAUSALITAS ANTARA UPAH DAN TINGKAT EMPLOYMENT DI PROPINSI JAWA TENGAH TAHUN 1979-2004”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang bersifat deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan data urut waktu (time series) mulai tahun 1979-2004. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola hubungan antara upah dan tingkat employment di Propinsi Jawa Tengah. Sehubungan dengan itu dibuat hipotesis bahwa diduga tingkat employment mempunyai hubungan kausalitas dengan upah minimum regional. Alat analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah KAUSALITAS GRANGER dimana terdiri dari variabel tingkat employment dan variabel upah minimum regional di Propinsi Jawa Tengah. Dari hasil analisis tersebut dinyatakan bahwa variabel UMR yang stasioner terletak dari lag 0 model 3 dengan tingkat signifikan 5%. Sedangkan variabel employment yang stasioner terletak pada lag 3 model 1 dengan tingkat signifikan 5%. Hasil analisis juga menyebutkan bahwa ada pola kausalitas satu arah dari variabel employment terhadap UMR di Jawa Tengah, Hal ini dapat ditunjukkan pada probabilitas pada lag 4 yaitu sebesar 0,02054 dan probabilitas pada lag 5 yaitu sebesar 0,03128. Keduanya lebih kecil dari = 0,05, artinya bahwa meningkatnya employment akan mendorong tingkat UMR di Propinsi Jawa Tengah

Decision Support System for Selection of Expertise Using Analytical Hierarchy Process Method

Facial recognition is the process of human identification using a picture of facial expression. With the widespread use of computers, it is expected that facial recognition capabilities can be adopted on such smart devices. The adoption process becomes possible with the discovery of facial recognition methods, one of which is the main component analysis or better known as PCA (Principal Components Analysis). The research started by designing a computer program using the Matlab programming language. The Program was used to test the PCA method using a number of facial imagery. Testing is divided into three categories, which are based on the number of the trainer image, based on the number of key vector features, and the determination of the threshold value. In the end it can be concluded that PCA is quite worthy to be a facial recognition method. The research Data shows a pretty good introduction result with a fairly small error rate on testing using ten training imagery, which is one error introduction of 20 Tests

Pemanfaatan Ncb Dan Cbtl Oleh Produsen Elektroteknika Di Indonesia

Since 2005 BSN represent Indonesia as a member body in the IECEE. Up to now, Indonesia has 3 NCB and 4 CBTL which has received recognition to operate within the IECEE CB Scheme, however the potential for NCB and CBTL is not used optimally by the electrical engineering product manufacturer located in Indonesia. Based on the statistical data of CB Test Certificate (CBTC), until 2012, there are only 4 certificates issued by the NCB in Indonesia (Teguh et al, 2014). The aim of the research was to determine the characteristics of the producers that act as significant factors affecting the utilization of National NCB and CBTL. Hypothesis of this study is the character that affect the utilization were: (1) "Capital" for the status of foreign / domestic investment, (2) "Knowledge" for producers' knowledge to availability of NCB and CBTL in Indonesia, (3) "awareness" for awareness of the company to benefits if NCB and CBTL available in Indonesia, (4) "suitability" for NCB and CBTL scope suitability compared to producers' products, and (5) "Determinant" for party who deciding the election NCB and CBTL. This study used descriptive quantitative method, direct interviews with respondents, multiple regression analysis and correlation. Respondents were selected based on following criterias: (1) listed in CBTC statistical data, (2) located in Indonesia, and (3) product manufacturers have the same scope with the scope of the national NCB (HOUS, LITE, INST and BATT), expanded with TRON and OFF that the statistics dominate the CBTC in Indonesia and the world. 28 respondents were obtained, with 95% of confidence level for representing it population. Conclusion of the research was the five factors tested contribute strongly to the selection of NCB and CBTL by 78.2%, with positive correlation. Three factors with significance <0.15 were "determinant", "suitability", and "knowledge"

Inhibitory activity of extracts of Hebridean brown seaweeds on lipase activity

The effect of three Hebridean brown seaweeds on lipase activity was assessed using a turbidimetric lipase activity assay and an in vitro simulation of the upper digestive tract. The preparations of Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus, and Pelvetia canaliculata were tested; whole seaweed homogenate, sodium carbonate extract, and ethanol extracts (pellet and supernatant were tested separately). All extracts showed significant inhibition of lipase, suggesting multiple bioactive agents, potentially including alginates, fucoidans, and polyphenols. Whole homogenate extract of F. vesiculosus was the most potent inhibitor of Lipase (IC50 = 0.119 mg mL-1), followed by ethanol supernatant (IC50 = 0.159 mg mL-1) while ethanol pellet and sodium carbonate extract showed relatively weaker inhibition (IC50 = 0.360 mg mL-1 and IC50 = 0.969 mg mL-1 respectively). For A. nodosum and P. canaliculata, strongest inhibition occurred with ethanol pellet (IC50 = 0.238 and 0.228 mg mL−1, respectively). These inhibitory effects were validated in a model gut system. The data presented herein suggests the use of seaweed as a potential weight management tool is deserving of further investigation
