Society’s confidences of business are changing, and an increasing act of applicants pre-assess the societal and environmental execution of companies before choosing an employer. This study aims to analyze the differences in work values among students in IPB University to find out the type of work they enjoy so they can work in companies that are in accordance with their talents and interests. Descriptive statistical and PLS-SEM analysis were used to analyze the effect of work values to job interest and willingness to apply on-farm occupation.This paper used probability sampling with stratified random sampling technique and got 217 samples. There are five dominant values; ethics and integrity, responsibility, work conditions, opportunity of personal growth and use of ability and knowledge in work. Work values effects job interest positive significantly but work values is not affects willingness to apply significantly. Dominant factor of job interest is colleague/ family influence. Keywords: Career choice, competency, generational Diversity, PLS-SEM, work ethics. 1 Introduction Workforce demographic are changing (Armstrong & Crombie 2000). While this may not be happening as fast as once predicted due to the poor economy, employee demographic are shifting toward a more diverse mix of employees (Murphy 2011).

The limited genetic information available on this fruit has severely limited the scope of research into its genetic variation and phylogeny. This study aimed to collect genomic information from M. casturi using next-generation sequencing technology and to develop microsatellite markers and perform Sanger sequencing for DNA barcoding analysis. Results: The clean reads of the Kasturi accession of M. casturi were assembled de novo using a Ray assembler, producing 259,872 scaffolds with an N50 value of 1,445 bp. Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from 11,040 sequences containing microsatellite motifs. In total, 55 alleles were produced, and the mean number of alleles per locus was 3.93.

    THE GREEN OPEN SPACE’S SIZE AND FORM EFFECT ON MICROCLIMATE IN THE CAMPUS: A CASE STUDY IN UNIVERSITY OF INDONESIA AND IPB UNIVERSITY Prita Ayu Permatasari (1), Vidya Nur Trissanti (1), Luisa Febrina Amalo (1), Yudi Setiawan (1)(2) 1 Environmental Research Center, IPB University, Dramaga Campus, Bogor 16680, West Java, Indonesia 2 Dept. of Forest Resource Conservation and Ecotourism, Faculty of Forestry and Environment, IPB University, Dramaga Campus, Bogor 16680, West Java, Indonesia Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] KEY WORDS: urban heat island, tree, NDVI, LST, air temperature ABSTRACT: Green Open Space (GOS) has long been known as one of the solutions to reduce the effects of Urban Heat Island (UHI). The ability of vegetation to reduce absorb carbon dioxide and carry out evapotranspiration makes the surrounding air temperature decrease. The ability of GOS to ameliorate the climate is greatly influenced by the size and shape of GOS. This study aims to compare the effect of the shape and size of GOS on the two public campuses in Indonesia, University of Indonesia and IPB University. By using the Land Surface Temperature (LST) data obtained from Landsat 8, the ability of each GOS shape and size to influence the microclimate can be predicted. Also, by using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data, the correlation between the greenness index and the microclimate could be correlated. The results showed that shape and size is not the only factors those have ability to ameliorate the microclimate. 1. BACKGROUND The accelerated population growth in urban areas, associated with the increase of impermeable concrete surfaces, industrial pollution, and destruction of natural habitats, negatively changes the urban microclimate (Watson and Johnson, 1987; Akbari et al., 2001; Grimmond, 2007).
