Abstrak: The study was aimed to compare in vivo osteogenesis potency of two bone implant combinations which used hydroxyapatite-chitosan (HA-C) and hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP). This study will describe the potential use of bone substitution material which implanted on sheep as animal model for human. Six local sheeps were used in this study. Both of the bone implants were shaped into a pellet form. The bone implants were inserted under aseptic surgery on the medial of the left tibia bone and as control the medial of the right tibia bone was drilled without bone implant. Bones were subjected to radiography examination at 0 day pre and post-surgery, 7 , 30 , 60 and 90 days post-surgery. The observation parameters are radiopacity, margination, and the shape of bone implant or bone defect under radiography evaluation. The result shown that the HA-TCP bone implant has better properties for biodegradability and bioresorbsibility than HA-C bone implant. In the other hand, the process of bone growth which implanted by HA-TCP bone implant was slow because the implant has no good osteoinductive properties. The both of implants were still stay in bone until the end of observation and the progress of osteogenesis did not show better result than the control.

Abstrak: This study was conducted to examine the healing process of rabbit’s bone implanted with mixture of hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA:β-TCP) with mixture ratio of 70:30 and 60:40. Six New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. Hydroxyapatite β-tricalcium phospate implanted in the medial part of the right tibia using surgical procedures, while the same part of the left tibia served as controls without implants. The samples of tibia were taken on 30 days after implantation. Parameters observed were the shape, the degradation rate of the implant, the implant bonds with the bone, new bone growth into the implant, and the signs of inflammatory reaction around the implant. The results of this study showed that the healing process in control samples was faster than bone treated with implant. There was no macroscopically morphological difference observed between the bones implanted with mixture of 70:30 and those with 60:40. But, there was difference observed microscopically. Osteocytes was observed in the bones implanted with mixture of 60:40 and there was no osteocytes observed in the bones implanted with mixture of 70:30. At day 30, the implant of HA:β-TCP showed potency of biodegradability, bioresorbability, osteoconductivity, and good biocompatibility for body. It is suggested that the next research of this mixture as bone implant is still needed to find the optimal composition

Judul: The Role of Leaders in Collective Action for the Poor Urban Communities during the Covid-19 Pandemic (Case: An RW in West Bogor District, Bogor City, West Java)
Abstrak: Wabah pandemi Covid-19 sebagai bencana non alam menjadi faktor risiko bagi masyarakat terlebih bagi komunitas miskin. Upaya untuk mencegah serta menanggulangi pandemi Covid-19 ini perlu didukung dengan aksi bersama komunitas serta didorong oleh kepemimpinan yang kuat. Peranan kepemimpinan dalam mengelola bencana selama dan setelah situasi krisis dapat mendorong komunitas berperan aktif dan tangguh di masa pandemi melalui penguatan aksi kolektif. Penelitian ini menganalisis peran pemimpin pada aksi kolektif komunitas miskin perkotaan di masa pandemi Covid-19. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode survei pada 60 responden yang diperkuat dengan wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara peran pemimpin dengan tingginya tingkat aksi kolektif pada komunitas miskin perkotaan selama Pandemi Covid-19. Pemimpin yang dinilai mampu menggerakkan warga komunitas untuk berpartisipasi aktif pada setiap aksi kolektif selama masa pandemi Covid-19 adalah tokoh Ketua RW, The Covid-19 pandemic as a non-natural disaster is a risk factor for the community, especially for the poor. Efforts to prevent and overcome the Covid-19 pandemic need to be supported by joint community action and strong leadership. The leadership role in managing disasters during and after crisis situations can encourage active and resilient communities during a pandemic through supportive collective action. This study analyzes the role of leaders in the collective action of urban poor communities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data was collected using a survey method on 60 respondents who conducted interviews. The results showed that the relationship between the role of leaders and the level of collective action in urban poor communities was significant during the Covid-19 pandemic. The leader who is considered capable of mobilizing the community to actively participate in every joint action during the Covid-19 pandemic is the leader of the RW
