Judul: Kajian Kualitatif Residu Melengesterol Asetat (MGA) pada Daging Sapi Beku Impor dengan Metode ELISA
Abstrak: Melengesterol Acetate (MGA) is a synthetic anabolic steroid hormone used as growth promoter and suppress estrus in some feedlot exporter. Most of the synthetic anabolic steroids have a poor metabolism so it can be stored in an unchanging state in the liver, kidney, muscle, and fat of animals. MGA residues in beef can lead the risk of health problems in humans if it is high accumulates in the body such as toxicity, hypersensitivity, carcinogenic to teratogenic disorders, therefore the presence of MGA residues in beef have become the government and the world concern in the safety of foods from animal origin. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA) is a serological method that can detect the presence and concentration of MGA residues in beef. Results obtained by using the ELISA method in this study shows that 83,72 % samples have concentration of MGA residues in imported beef is below the maximum residue limits established by Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI 2000)

Abstrak: Melengestrol acetate (MGA) is an orally active progestational steroid used to improve weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, promote growth, and suppress oestrus in beef heifers. The use of MGA can leave residue in meat and may caused carcinogenic effects. The objectives of this research were to detect MGA residue in imported meat, and to analyze the presence of the MGA residue in imported meat from Australia and New Zealand. Sample size was calculated using the formula according to Canon and Roe (1982) cited by Martin et al. (1987) and selected by random sampling. All samples were analyzed using enzym linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The test showed that 6 out of 59 samples (10.17%) contained MGA residues in imported meat from Australia, while 2 out of 59 samples (3.39%) contained MGA residues in imported meat from New Zealand. The result showed that MGA mean concentrations in imported meat from Australia and from New Zealand were 0.256 ± 0.018 ppb and 0.315 ± 0.006 ppb. Concentration of MGA in imported meat from Australia and New Zealand did not differ (p>0,05). MGA concentrations in imported meat from Australia and New Zealand were lower than the maximum residue level (MRL) according to the Indonesian National Standard.

Judul: Desain Bangunan Turbin Picohidro dengan Tenaga Air Irigasi
Abstrak: Jaringan irigasi memiliki potensi sebagai pembangkit listrik tanpa emisi karbon. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendesain bangunan turbin pikohidro dengan tenaga air irigasi. Desain bangunan turbin pikohidro tenaga air irigasi telah dapat didesain dengan turbin reaksi kaplan yang terdiri dari desain turbin tunggal dengan daya 24,5 kWh/hari dan desain multi turbin dengan daya 122,75 kWh/hari. Kecepatan aliran irigasi berkisar antara 0,4 m/s – 0,74 m/s dengan potensi daya 1,4 kWh – 655,1 kWh. Hasil simulasi menunjukan tipe Kaplan adalah turbin terbaik yang dapat digunakan pada desain bangunan turbin pikohidro tenaga irigasi. Pada kondisi debit inlet 18 l/s dan ketinggian terjun 0,5 m bangunan turbin pikohidro menghasilkan putaran poros turbin sebesar 106 rpm, tegangan 15,6 volt dan arus 1,1 ampere. Bangunan turbin pikohidro sebaiknya dipertimbangkan sebagai bagian dari bangunan terjun aliran irigasi untuk meredam energi.
