Judul: Keanekaragaman udang air tawar pada berbagai tipe habitat di Provinsi Jambi
Abstrak: The freshwater shrimp can be found in Indonesia Indonesia is consisted of families Atyidae and Palaemonidae of the order Decapoda. The main barrier factors influencing the presence of freshwater shrimp include habitat characteristics and environmental quality in each habitat type. Jambi Province, including the areas with lowland tropical rainforest has the highest deforestation rate in the Asian region. Effects of changes in forest conversion to agricultural habitats will change the ecosystem conditions. It is thought to affect macroinvertebrate diversity therein. The purpose of this research is to study the diversity of the river freshwater shrimp found in oil palm plantation, rubber plantation, community forest and secondary forest in relation to the convertion of forest and to clarify the species through DNA barcoding. The shrimps were collected from two locations, i.e. Batanghari and Sarolangun Regencies. The collection of the freshwater shrimps were conducted in four habitat types, i.e oil palm plantation, rubber plantation, community forest, and secondary forest. The research locations were chosen purposively and continued road sampling. Samples were taken by using a hand net and fish trap. Specimens’ identification were based on Wowor et al. 2004 and Cai et al. 2007. The environmental factors observed velocity (m/second),depth (cm), brightness (cm), temperature (°C), pH and substrate type. To see the effect of forest conversion to the diversity freshwater shrimp were analysed with Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric analysis continued with Multiple Comparisons. The relationship of the distribution of the freshwater shrimp were tested with Canonical Correspondence Analysis. Community structure were analysed with calculated diversity indexs, the eveness, and the similarity of habitats by using Primer 5 program. The study revealed six spesies of freshwater shrimp consisted of Macrobrachium malayanum, M. pilimanus, M. lanchesteri, Caridina malayensis, C. propinqua, C. excavatoides. Macrobrachium malayanum. Highest amount of diversity and evenness in Batanghari Regencies found in the oil palm plantation (H '= 0.934) and community forests (E = 0.934). Analysis of habitat similarities between habitats showed that oil palm and rubber plantations have similar habitat types, and different people in the forest habitat.... The freshwater shrimp diversity and eveness in Batanghari found high in the oil palm plantation (H’=1.148) and community forest (E=0.934). Analysis of habitat similarity between habitat oil palm plantations and rubber plantations have similar habitat type, and different in community forest. The freshwater shrimp diversity and eveness in Sarolangun found high in the secondary forest (H’=0.699) and community forest (E=0.6909). Analysis of habitat similarity between habitat community forest and rubber plantations have similar habitat type, while secondary forest habitat have similar with oil palm plantation. Based on the analysis of Canonical Analysis corespondance that environmental factors affecting the distribution of certain shrimp. This is shown in Batanghari Regencies , Macrobrachium lanchesteri distribution was affected by the altitude, width and pH. Caridina malayensis, C. excavatoides and C. propinqua distribution was affected by temperature and pH. Distribution of M. pilimanus and M. malayanum was affected by velocity and brightness. At the Sarolangun Regencies, distribution M. malayanum was affected by pH and temperature, while the distribution of M. lanchesteri was affected by pH and brightness. Based on the analysis

Judul: The diversity of freshwater crab (Crustacea Decapoda: Brachyura) in the Regencies of Batanghari and Sorolangun, Jambi Province
Abstrak: Freshwater crabs are members of the order Decapoda, sub order Brachyura. They can be found in all freshwater bodies. They can also adapt to semi-terrestrial and terrestrial environments. The diversity of freshwater crabs has declined due to habitat changes. Jambi province is an area with high deforestation rate compared to other Asian regions. The deforestation causes habitat fragmentation which alters the biota composition, both terrestrial and aquatic biota. The aims of this study were to study the diversity of freshwater crab in the Regencies of Batanghari and Sorolangun of Jambi in several habitats type. The study was conducted in rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, community forests and secondary forests located at the Regencies of Batanghari and Sorolangun. The specimens were collected by using hand net and fish trap which were preserved in 70% alcohol. The environmental factors observed were altitude (m), brightness (m), velocity (m/second), temperature (°C), depth (m), width (m), pH and substrate type. In Batanghari and Sorolangun Regency, was found 5 species of freshwater crabs that consisted of Parathelphusa tridentata, P. batamensis, P. maindroni, P. maculata and Geosesarma sp. through morphological identification. Based on mitochondrial COI gene analysis, P. batemensis and P. maindroni have nucleotide difference 1.45% (8 nt). In Batanghari Regency, the environmental factors affecting the distribution of P. batamensis were pH, temperature and width of the river, while the distribution of P. maculata, P. tridentata, and Geosesarma sp was affected only by depth; and P. maindroni was altitude. In Sorolangun Regency, the environmental factors affecting the distribution of Geosesarma sp and P. maculata were velocity, the distribution of P. batamensis and P. tridentata was affected by depth and brightness, while the distribution of P. maindroni was influenced by altitude. The highest freshwater crab diversity was found in community forest of both regencies. The lowest freshwater crab diversity was found in oil palm plantation habitat in Sorolangun Regency. The community structure of freshwater crab in Batanghari and Sorolangun Regencies was different in each habitat. Parathelphusa batamensis was found in all habitat types in both regencies. The results of the Multiple Comparisons test showed that In Batanghari Regency there were differences in number of individual crab among community forest and oil palm plantation (P<0.01), as well as at community forest and rubber plantation. In Sorolangun Regency, the number individual of crabs among rubber plantation and secondary forest (SF) were significantly different (P<0.001).

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Cu2ZnSnS4 sebagai Lapisan Penyerap Cahaya pada Sel Surya Menggunakan Metode Elektrodeposisi
Abstrak: Thin film of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an alternative semiconductor used as light absorber layer on solar cell. CZTS can replace silicon that commonly used as commercial semiconductor. The advantage of using CZTS as absorber layer is due to the abundance of its chemical composer on earth, and its high value of absorption coefficient. The absorber layer was made by using electrodeposition method on ITO glass substrates. The films were deposited at room temperature using potentiostatic mode with a potential of –1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. After that, the films were annealed at two different temperatures, 180 ºC and 500 °C, for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the polycrystalline thin film obtained fall into kesterite crystal phase. This type of crystal was obtained when the CZTS was annealed at 500 °C in H2S/N2 atmosphere. The value of optical band gap energy for the CZTS thin film was 2.2 eV with the film thickness about 1.228–6.366 μm. The sample of CZTS with electrodeposition time of 45 minutes and annealing temperature of 500 °C showed the best result and in conformity with absorber layers criteria for solar cells.
