Judul: Analisis hubungan tingkat stres dengan nilai UTS metode statistika (Studi kasus: mahasiswa IPB yang mengambil mata kuliah metode statistika pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2013/2014)
Abstrak: Person's success in education can be seen from the learning achievement is usually seen from the test score. Learning achievement is influenced by external and internal factors (physic and psychologic). Psychological condition related with psychiatric condition of person such as stress. Stress can affect decreased academic. There are some factors that cause stress (stressors), both sourced from within themselves, families, and the community. Students are a group who susceptible to stress. This research take a case study students of Bogor Agriculture University who take course Statistical Method with the goal to get information about general description from stress on students and the factors that impact directly and indirectly on the Mid Test Term score of Statistical Method. Path analysis is a method that can be used to analyze the causal relationship between variables in order to determine direct effect and indirect effect, with the factors that cause stress as exogenous variables (descriptors) and the stress score and Mid Test Term score of Statistical Method as variables endogenous (response). The results of this research indicate that there are 114 of the 150 students experience mild stress to very severe stress. High and low of the student stress score greatest influenced by difficult level of adaptability, while the Mid Test Term score of Statistical Method greatest influenced by difficult level of learn the lesson.

Judul: Relationship between Stress Level, Physical Activity and Sugar Consumption in Undergraduate Students of IPB University
Abstrak: Stres merupakan kondisi ketika seseorang mengalami masalah atau tekanan yang berdampak pada kondisi fisik dan psikis. Penelitian sebelumnya menemukan bahwa stres berasosiasi dengan aktivitas fisik dan konsumsi gula. Namun, penelitian tersebut belum dilakukan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji hubungan antara tingkat stres dengan aktivitas fisik dan konsumsi gula pada mahasiswa sarjana di IPB University. Data dikumpulkan dari hasil pengisian kuesioner oleh 400 mahasiswa sarjana di IPB University. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat stres responden, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) digunakan untuk mengukur aktivitas fisik responden, dan Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) digunakan untuk mengukur konsumsi gula. Data dianalisis dengan perangkat lunak R Studio. Korelasi antara tingkat stres, aktivitas fisik, dan konsumsi gula dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Spearman. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa sarjana IPB University memiliki tingkat stres yang sedang (19,71±5,28). Tingkat stres tidak berkorelasi signifikan dengan aktivitas fisik (? = -0,006, p-value = 0,95) dan konsumsi gula (? = 0,045, p-value = 0,359)., Stress is a condition when a person experiences problems or pressures that have an impact on physical and psychological conditions. Previous studies have found that stress is associated with physical activity and sugar consumption. However, these studies have not been conducted in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the relationship between stress levels with physical activity and sugar consumption in undergraduate students at IPB University. Data were collected from questionnaires completed by 400 undergraduate students at IPB University. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) was used to measure respondents' stress level, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to measure respondents' physical activity, and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to measure sugar consumption. Data were analyzed with R Studio software. The correlation between stress levels, physical activity, and sugar consumption were analyzed with the Spearman correlation test. This study showed that IPB University undergraduate students had moderate stress levels (19.71±5.28). Stress level was not significantly correlated with physical activity (? = -0.006, p-value = 0.95) and sugar consumption (? = 0.045, p-value = 0.359).

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
