Judul: Correlation among Energy and Nutrients Intake and Socioeconomic Status with Obesity of IPB employees.
Abstrak: Today, obesity has become a health and nutrition problems of the world, both in developed and developing countries. The purpose of this study was to analyze interrelated between energy and nutrients intake and socioeconomic condition with obesity status of IPB employees. Design of this study was cross sectional. The sample size of this study was 73, and have been choosen purposively. Data was collected by interview using questionnaire and measurement of body weight and height in order to get nutritional status of the samples. Correlation rank Spearman, and Pearson was used to analyze interrelated between two variables, and independent t-test was used to analyze differences between nutritional status. The result showed that there were a significant difference (p<0.05) on gender, level of education, and nutrition knowledge between the samples of normal nutritional status and obesity. There were significant and positive correlation between education level and the energy and carbohydrate intake; income of family with vitamin A and vitamin C intake; knowledge of nutrition with the intake of protein, fruit consumption habits and nutritional status. But, there was a significant and negative correlation between exercise habits with the fat intake.

Judul: Body Image, Knowledge and Practices of Balanced Nutrition, and Obesity Level in Students at Women’s Dormitory IPB University
Abstrak: Body image negatif cenderung disebabkan oleh status gizi yang obesitas. Obesitas sendiri seringkali disebabkan oleh perilaku yang tidak sesuai dengan praktik gizi seimbang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan body image, pengetahuan dan praktik gizi seimbang, dengan tingkat obesitas mahasiswa di asrama putri IPB University. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional dengan subjek 30 mahasiswa asrama putri IPB University yang dipilih secara accidental sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor body image subjek adalah 132,2 + 23,2 yang termasuk kategori body image negatif sedang. Rata-rata skor pengetahuan gizi seimbang subjek 53,8 + 11,6 yang termasuk kategori kurang. Rata-rata skor praktik gizi seimbang subjek 65,4 + 6,1 yang termasuk kategori sedang. Rata-rata IMT subjek 29,83 + 3,74 yang termasuk kategori obesitas I. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi signifikan (p<0,05) antara tingkat obesitas dengan body image dan praktik gizi seimbang, serta antara body image dengan praktik gizi seimbang. Sementara itu, meskipun secara uji statistik korelasi antara variabel tidak signifikan (p>0,05), subjek yang memiliki pengetahuan gizi seimbang lebih baik cenderung memiliki kategori obesitas lebih rendah, praktik gizi seimbang yang lebih baik, dan body image yang lebih baik.

Judul: Sintesis Zeoli! X dan Nanokomposit ZeolitJTi02dari Kaolin serta Aplikasinya pada Adsorpsi Fotodegradasi Biru Metilena
Abstrak: Kaolin is rarely used as an adsorbent due to its low adsorption capacity. Therefore, kaolin was converted into zeolite and nanocomposite zeolitefri02. The products were then analyzed using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The synthesized zeolite and nanocomposite were identified as zeolite A and zeolite X. The maximum adsorption capacity (Q) of zeolite and nanocomposite occured at the concentration of methylene blue at 300 mgIL with Q value of 17 mglg and 21 mg/g. The zeolite prepared using NaOH 2.5 I and aged at 24 hours had the highest Q value of 17 mg/g. The test results of their photodegradation properties indicate that the nanocomposite can degrade methylene blue at concentration 12.5 mg/L with percent degradation of 85.19%. The adsorption-photodegradation process of methylene blue was showed by the color of filtrate and precipitate the studied objects which were more pale than the color of control after UV irradiation at wavelength of 365 nm in 6 hours.
