Judul: Estimasi Konsumsi dan Asupan Zat Besi dari Pangan Berbasis Tepung Terigu pada Siswi SMA di Kota Bogor.
Abstrak: Iron deficiency is a major micronutrient problem in the world. Fortification is the best strategy to increase iron intake through food based approached. The objective of research is to know consumption of fortified wheat flour based foods among high school/women students. The design used in this study was a crosssectional study with high size of 120 girls aged 15-18 years. The research was conducted at three schools with different social-economic status. Pastries/biscuits is the most often products consumed by the students (19.8 ± 19.3 times/month) and snacks (12.8 ± 16.1 times/month). Daily weight consumption of biscuits/pastries is the highest in SMAN 1 and SMAN 10 students, but in SMA PGRI 4 students, instant noodles is the most contributed one. The average intake of wheat flour equivalent consumption a day is 96.2 g, with the highest is among SMA PGRI 4 student (115.8 g), SMAN 10 student (95.4g) and SMAN 1 student (77.3g). Wheat flour based food contributes to 23.0% of RDA of iron. The research found that there was no significant relation between school allowance and amount of wheat consumption (p=0.943, r=0.004).

Judul: Perbandingan Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) dan Biawak Air (Varanus salvator).
Abstrak: Komodo dan biawak air diklasifikasikan dalam Ordo Squamata dan Famili Varanidae. Meskipun kedua hewan ini termasuk dalam ordo dan famili yang sama tetapi perannya di alam berbeda. Komodo sebagai predator utama memiliki ukuran tengkorak yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan ukuran tengkorak biawak air yang berperan sebagai predator opportunistik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari komparasi karakteristik struktur skelet kepala komodo (Varanus komodoensis) dengan skelet kepala biawak air (Varanus salvator). Struktur kepala ini dikaitkan dengan fungsi skelet kepala untuk mendukung perilaku sehari-hari. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara mengamati dan mengukur tulang-tulang penyusun skelet kepala komodo dan biawak air, serta mengamati perilaku sehari-hari kedua hewan melalui pengamatan video. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ukuran skelet kepala komodo memiliki panjang 21.9 cm, lebar 11.6 cm, dan tinggi 8.9 cm. Skelet kepala biawak air memiliki panjang 16.0 cm, lebar 7.0 cm, dan tinggi 5.0 cm. Komodo memiliki gigi marginal dan lingual dengan tipe gigi pleurodont dan ziphodont, yaitu bentuk gigi seperti pedang dan melengkung ke arah lateral. Biawak air memiliki gigi marginal dengan tipe pleurodont yang tumbuh disamping rahang dengan satu gigi pengganti pada setiap gigi marginal. Hubungan antar tulang penyusun skelet kepala komodo relatif longgar dan memiliki os temporale yang sangat berkembang, sehingga pembukaan mulut komodo sangat lebar dibandingkan biawak air yang tidak memiliki kraniokinesis. Kedua hewan ini memiliki canalis intercisivum yang terdapat pada palatum durum menghubungkan cavum oris dan cavum nasi. Secara fungsional, saluran ini dikaitkan dengan kemampuan penciuman yang tajam karena saluran ini berhubungan dengan organ vomeronasale. Perbedaan struktur skelet kepala komodo dan biawak air berperan dalam melakukan aktifitas sehari-hari kedua hewan ini.
