Judul: Tingkat pengetahuan serta tingkat kepedulian ibu rumah tangga dan pedagang ayam beserta olahannya terhadap kasus ayam bangkai di sekitar pasar Ciampea dan Pasar Jum'at Bogor
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menjajaki tingkat pengetahuan serta tingkat kepedulian ibu rumah tangga dan pedagang ayam dan olahannya di sekitar Pasar Ciampea dan Pasar Jum'at Bogor terhadap kasus ayam bangkai serta mencari faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya, hingga dapat dirumuskan solusi permasalahan. Penelitian menggunakan metode survei melalui wawancara dan kuisioner pada 161 orang ibu rumah tangga dan 80 orang pedagang di sekitar Pasar Ciampea dan Pasar Jum'at Bogor. Data diolah dengan analisis deskriptif dan analisis asosiasi yang menggunakan uji khi-kuadrat (x²), uji statistik Cramer dan uji kolerasi nonparametrik Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat yang diwakili responden ibu rumah tangga dan pedagang ayam beserta olahannya telah memiliki pengetahuan serta tingkat kepedulian yang cukup baik terhadap kasus ini, walaupun untuk tingkat kepedulian masih cenderung bersifat normatif. Pendidikan, pendapatan, pekerjaan dan tempat membeli daging ayam mempengaruhi tingkat pengetahuan dan kepedulian responden ibu rumah tangga, sedangkan pada responden pedagang ayam dan olahannya tingkat kepedulian dipengaruhi oleh faktor intensitas membeli daging ayam. Disimpulkan bahwa untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan harus ada usaha dari semua elemen masyarakat untuk aktif mencari informasi dan mengkampanyekan pangan halal, bersikap kritis dan selektif terhadap makanan yang dikonsumsi, tidak tergiur dengan harga murah, serta meningkatkan kontrol sosial.

Judul: Preferensi dan Kepedulian Konsumen terhadap Keamanan Pangan dalam Membeli Daging Ayam di Sungai Petani, Malaysia
Abstrak: The issue of foodborne disease is increasing in Malaysia nowadays. Malaysia is a developing country and all Malaysians have the right to learn about food safety knowledges in primary school, secondary school, even in the university level. Therefore, Malaysians should be more aware about these knowledges and fully implement in their daily life, especially in the meat quality evaluation. However, the food contamination cases increased rapidly among local citizens. Particularly, in the city of Sungai Petani, a massive food poisoning incident happen before which is related to consumption of chicken meat in a wedding celebration. In total, 65 of wedding participants are admitted to hospital for treatment, while 3 people died from food poisoning. This situation is contributed by Salmonella sp. in chicken meats that served the wedding participants. From this incident, it motivates me to start a survey regarding food safety and behavior of purchasing chicken meats in this city. Hence, I collected 126 samples from three locations in Sungai Petani, which are Taman Ria Jaya morning market, Taman Ria Jaya night market, Tesco (Utara) supermarket with Google form. Besides, online survey had been conducted by using WhatsApp. Before survey, respondents will be informed about purposes of this study, confidentiality of the data provided, topic concerned and approximate duration required for interview. All results obtained from survey are analyzed with IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel. It can reflect an overall condition of food safety and hygiene knowledge among citizens and identify whether chicken stalls involved are willing to follow the management system from HACCP. The results from SPSS analysis show that education of respondents in Sungai Petani City, Malaysia had significant relationship (P<0,05) with the knowledge on food safety and awareness, while the occupation of respondents had significant relationship (P<0,05) with the choices of chicken meat in their daily life. Majority of respondents (59,5%) preferred to buy instantly-killed chicken meat and approximately 63,5% of them considered price, halal, size of meat and safety factors while buying chicken meat. Most of the chicken meat consumers (73%) from survey look forward to have improvement and transformation of chicken stalls from wet markets and supermarkets to fulfil food safety requirements in future. Increase of knowledge and awareness of consumers and meat handlers should be taken into account in order to improve the food safety and promote public health.

Judul: Julia as an Innovative Programming Language in Numerical Computing
Abstrak: Julia memadukan keahlian dari beragam bidang ilmu komputer dan ilmu komputasi untuk menciptakan pendekatan baru untuk komputasi numerik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan Julia sebagai bahasa pemrograman yang dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan matematika khususnya dalam komputasi numerik kepada masyarakat. Komputasi pada Julia dirancang sedemekian rupa agar mudah dan cepat, serta mematahkan asumsi bahwa bahasa pemrograman dinamis (bahasa pemrograman tingkat tinggi) harus lambat. Sintaksi yang serupa antara Julia dengan beberapa bahasa pemrograman seperti Matlab dan Octave memudahkan pengguna untuk bertransisi. Vektorisasi pada Julia tidak menjadi prasyarat dalam hal kinerja. Multiple dispatch pada Julia memungkinkan pengguna untuk menulis fungsi beberapa kali dengan types yang berbeda. Julia didukung dengan paralelisme., Julia combines the expertise of from various field of computer science and computational science to create a new approach to numerical computing. The purpose of this research is to introduce Julia as a programming language that can solve mathematical problems, especially in numerical computing for community. Computing on Julia is designed in such a way as to be easy and fast, and break the assumption that dynamic programming languages (high-level programming languages) must be slow. Julia has similar syntax with several programming languages such as Matlab and Octave. In Julia, vectorization is not prerequisite in term of performance. In Julia, multiple dispatch allows users to write functions multiple times with different types. Julia support parallelism.
