New Data and Output Concepts for Understanding Productivity Trends
No full textThe present study is the second is a series of three papers devoted to issues in the measurement of productivity and productivity growth. The contributions of the present paper are three. First, it introduces a new approach to measuring industrial productivity based on income-side data that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). The data are internally consistent in that both inputs and outputs are income-side measures of value added, whereas the usual productivity measures combine expenditure-side output measures with income-side input measures. Second, because of interest in the "new economy," we have also constructed a set of new- economy accounts. For the purpose of this study, we define the new economy as machinery, electric equipment, telephone and telegraph, and software. Finally, because of concerns about poor deflation in the current output measures, this study constructs a new output concept called "well-measured output," which includes only those sectors for which output is relatively well measured. We present a brief summary of the behavior of the alternative measures.Productivity, new economy, price measurement, well-measured output

Summary of research results, management recommendations and farmer workshops from cacao agroforestry landscapes in Indonesia
No full textSoftcover, 17,6x25Cacao agroforestry systems are common in Indonesia, but differences in local management affect
biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Importantly, birds and bats alike strongly contribute
to biological pest control in cacao, thereby promoting yields and sustainable farming. Our findings
from many years of ecological field research, in close collaboration with Indonesian cacao farmers,
are summarized and discussed in this bilingual book, written in both English and Indonesian. It is
designed to communicate scientific information as well as to facilitate transdisciplinary discussions
and more biodiversity-friendly management in tropical agroforestry systems.
We consider this book as a tool to improve the collaboration of local communities, farmers and
scientists, as well as to improve the application of scientific knowledge in agricultural practice -
particularly in tropical land use areas.

(Austria), working in the fields of biology, ecology and conservation. She conducted the research and
workshops presented here in close collaboration and with support from the University of Göttingen
(Germany) and the University of Tadulako (Indonesia).Sistem agroforestri kakao adalah hal umum di Indonesia, tetapi perbedaan pengelolaan setempat
akan mempengaruhi keanekaragaman hayati dan layanan ekosistem. Terutama, burung dan kelelawar
sama-sama memberikan kontribusi tinggi pada pengendalian hama biologis di kakao, sehingga
dapat meningkatkan hasil panen dan pertanian yang berkelanjutan. Temuan kami dari penelitian
lapangan ekologi bertahun-tahun, yang bekerjasama erat dengan petani kakao Indonesia, dirangkum
dan dibahas dalam buku bilingual ini, tertulis dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia. Buku
ini dirancang untuk mengkomunikasikan informasi ilmiah dan juga untuk memfasilitasi diskusi
transdisipliner dan pengelolaan keanekaragaman hayati yang ramah pada sistem agroforestri tropis.
Kami menganggap buku ini sebagai alat untuk meningkatkan kolaborasi masyarakat lokal, petani
dan ilmuwan, serta untuk meningkatkan penerapan pengetahuan ilmiah dalam praktik pertanian -
terutama di wilayah penggunaan lahan tropis.

Product shape selectivity of MFI-type, MEL-type, and BEA-type zeolites in the catalytic hydroconversion of heptane
No full textThe influence of product shape selectivity on the bifunctional conversion of n-C7 by zeolite catalysts is investigated. Three different zeolite catalysts with different pore sizes (MFI-type, MEL-type, and BEA-type zeolites) have been investigated experimentally. For all three catalysts, n-C7 is isomerized to monobranched isomers which are further isomerized into dibranched isomers, and these dibranched molecules are converted into cracking products. More dibranched isomers and less cracking products are produced by BEA-type zeolite compared to MFI-type and MEL-type zeolites and clear differences are observed in the distribution of dibranched isomers produced by different catalysts. Molecular simulation is used to compute the adsorption isotherms and free energy barriers for diffusion of dibranched isomers in MFI-type, MEL-type, and BEA-type zeolites. Combining simulation results and experimental observations, it is shown that product shape selectivity can explain the distribution of dibranched molecules while transition state shape selectivity fails to do so. For the medium-pore zeolites (MFI-type and MEL-type zeolites), free energy barriers for diffusion of dibranched molecules are significant. For MFI-type and MEL-type zeolites, the dibranched molecule that has to overcome lower diffusion barrier is produced with a higher yield and the distribution of dimethylpentane molecules is determined by their diffusion rate. It is shown that there is almost no free energy barrier for the diffusion of any of these molecules in BEA-type zeolite. As BEA-type zeolite imposes no free energy barrier for diffusion of any of dibranched isomers, the distribution of dibranched isomers is very close to the equilibrium distribution in the gas phase. Due to the limited mobility of dimethylpentanes within the pores of MFI-type and MEL-type zeolites, most of the dimethylpentane molecules are trapped inside the zeolite and undergo consecutive cracking. Dimethylpentane molecules diffuse sufficiently fast in the large pores of BEA-type zeolite and transfer to the gas phase, before consecutive reaction converts these molecules into cracking products. Moreover, the effect of the MFI-type crystal size on the production of dibranched isomers is investigated. The yield of dibranched isomers reduces by increasing the size of the crystal and larger part of dibranched isomers are cracked as the crystal size of MFI-type is increased.Engineering ThermodynamicsIntensified Reaction and Separation System

Analisis Implementasi Kebijakan atas Penanganan Perkara di Bidang Kepabeanan pada Kantor Pelayanan Utama Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok
No full textThe Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok is the largest customs service and supervision office in the organizational structure of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise. The volume of import and export activities through The Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok reaches around 70% of all Indonesia\u27s import and export activities. The high intensity of import and export activities must be accompanied by high compliance from service users, considering that currently customs notifications are carried out with a self-assessment system. Often, customs service users make mistakes in notifying customs notices and in fulfilling customs-related provisions that result in violations in the customs sector. Theses violation require the handling of cases in the customs sector which is currently regulated in the Regulation of the Director General of Customs and Excise No. 53/BC/2010. This study aims to determine the implementation of case handling policies in the customs sector at The Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok . The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method with a Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation model approach. Data was collected through interviews and secondary data documentation at The Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok . The results show that almost all policy aspects have been met. The aspect of the policy that has not been fully fulfilled is the characteristic aspect of the implementing organization. Therefore, in the future The Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok should be able to maximize the handling of cases by minimizing the obstacles that occur using appropriate solutions. The author suggests that The Major Customs and Excise Servicing Office Type A Tanjung Priok optimize resources and strengthen regulations to support case handling activities in the customs sector.
ABSTRAK :
KPU Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok menjadi kantor pelayanan dan pengawasan pabean terbesar dalam struktur organisasi Direktorat Jenderal Bea dan Cukai. Volume kegiatan impor dan ekspor melalui KPU Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok mencapai sekitar 70% dari seluruh kegiatan impor dan ekspor Indonesia. Tingginya intensitas kegiatan impor dan ekspor yang melalui KPU Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok harus diiringi dengan tingginya kepatuhan dari pengguna jasa, mengingat saat ini pemberitahuan pabean dilakukan dengan sistem self assessment. Seringkali pengguna jasa kepabeanan melakukan kesalahan dalam memberitahukan pemberitahuan pabean dan dalam memenuhi ketentuan-ketentuan terkait kepabeanan yang mengakibatkan terjadinya pelanggaran di bidang kepabeanan. Atas pelanggaran tersebut diperlukan penanganan perkara di bidang kepabeanan yang saat ini diatur dengan Peraturan Direktur Jenderal Bea dan Cukai No.53/BC/2010. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi kebijakan penanganan perkara di bidang kepabeanan pada Kantor Pelayanan Utama Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan model implementasi kebijakan Van Meter dan Van Horn. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan dokumentasi data sekunder dari Kantor Pelayanan Utama Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hampir semua aspek kebijakan telah terpenuhi. Terdapat aspek kebijakan yang belum sepenuhnya terpenuhi yaitu aspek karakteristik organisasi pelaksana. Oleh karena itu kedepannya KPU Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok dapat memaksimalkan implementasi kebijakan penanganan perkara dengan cara meminimalisasi kendala-kendala yang terjadi menggunakan solusi-solusi yang tepat. Penulis memberikan saran kepada KPU Bea dan Cukai Tipe A Tanjung Priok agar mengoptimalkan sumber daya dan menguatkan peraturan untuk menunjang kegiatan penanganan perkara di bidang kepabeanan
