Judul: Aktivitas Ekstrak dan Nanopartikel Ekstrak Kulit Kayu Mahoni sebagai Inhibitor Enzim HMG-KoA Reduktase
Abstrak: Mahogany bark is wood industrial waste. Mahogany bark potency as lowering blood cholesterol levels in hypercholesterolemic rats. Decreasing cholesterol levels alleged by inhibit HMG-CoA reductase enzyme. This research was designed to compare the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme from extracts and nanoparticle extracts of mahogany bark. This research consist of four stages that begin from extraction of mahogany bark with aquades solution, production nanoparticles using ionic gelation method, biological activities or cytotoxicity using brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT), and measuring inhibition of HMG-CoA reductases by spectrophotometric method. Mahogany bark extract has yield 9% and nanoparticle extracts has yield 53.31%. Biological assay of extracts and nanoparticle extracts showed LC50 value of 1255 ppm and 1567 ppm, respectively. The highest percentage inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme value from extracts 150 ppm and nanoparticle extracts 300 ppm are 26% and 16%, whereas the inhibiton by positive control (pravastatin) is 21%. Extracts and nanoparticle extracts of mahogany bark capable of acting as an inhibitor of the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme.

Judul: Aktivitas Antioksidan dan Penghambatan α-Glukosidase Ekstrak dan Nanopartikel Ekstrak Kulit Kayu Mahoni (Swietenia macrophylla King)
Abstrak: Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) bark is waste disposal industry manufacture of bark. Mahogany bark have catechin, epicatechin, and swietemacrophyllanin contents which useful as an antioxidants and antidiabetic of rats induced alloxan. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity and inhibition of α-glucosidase in the extract and nanoparticle extract of mahogany bark. Extraction method use aquades as solution, antioxidant activity assays was caried using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhidrazyl (DPPH) and reducing power. Inhbition of α-glucosidase was measured with a spectrophotometric method. Mahogany moisture content was 4.87%. Extract yield of 9.46% and yield of nanoparticle 51.11% were obtained. The DPPH resulted that of the rutin compound, extract, and nanoparticles obtained by IC50 DPPH method sequentially 17.33 ± 1.17 ppm, 9.62 ± 0.72 ppm, and more than 2500 ppm. Respectively, power reduction of the rutin compound has a 67.03% at 25 ppm, the extract 67.41% at 20 ppm, and nanoparticle 31.47% at 20 ppm. IC50 values inhibition of α-glucosidase extract was 17.25 ppm, nanoparticles were more than 200 ppm, and acarbose was 0.37 ppm. The test results showed that the extract capable of acting as antioxidant and antidiabetic based on IC50 values. As for nanoparticles mahogany bark extract did not able to act as antioxidants and antidiabetics based on the method tested.

Judul: Identifikasi Kejadian Banjir Rob (Pasang) di DAS Sunter pada 9-13 Januari 2008.
Abstrak: Banjir Rob merupakan fenomena meluapnya air laut ke daratan, istilah tersebut pertama kali dikenal di daerah Semarang. Fenomena banjir Rob dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut air laut. Pasang surut sendiri dipengaruhi gravitasi bulan dan matahari, serta dipengaruhi pula posisi bulan dan matahari terhadap bumi. Banjir ini biasa terjadi pada saat pasang air laut yaitu bertepatan dengan kejadian bulan baru dan bulan purnama. Pada bulan Januari 2008, di wilayah utara Jakarta yang berbatasan dengan laut, fenomena banjir Rob (pasang) melanda kawasan tersebut. Fenomena ini mengakibatkan sejumlah kawasan di wilayah utara Jakarta terendam air laut, hal ini diperburuk dengan penurunan muka tanah Jakarta. Selain dilanda banjir pasang air laut, kawasan utara Jakarta sering dilanda banjir akibat luapan sungai-sungai yang bermuara di Jakarta, salah satu sungai yang menyumbang banjir Jakarta adalah sungai Sunter. Tutupan lahan di DAS Sunter yang sebagian besar berupa pemukiman makin meningkatkan limpasan permukaan ketika terjadi hujan. Tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 di perairan Teluk Jakarta sedang terjadi pasang air laut karena bertepatan dengan bulan baru yang mengakibatkan terjadinya banjir Rob di beberapa wilayah di Jakarta Utara, termasuk DAS Sunter. Berdasarkan pemetaan banjir Rob di DAS Sunter pada tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 diketahui bahwa daerah yang tergenang air laut yaitu Kalibaru dan Marunda dengan tinggi genangan 48-72 cm. Luas genangan maksimum terjadi pada tanggal 11 Januari 2008 yaitu sebesar 66.000 m2. Pada tanggal 9-13 Januari, DAS Sunter tidak ikut menyumbangkan limpasan permukaan yang dapat menyebabkan banjir karena nilai limpasan permukaan berkisar 0-3,03 mm. Sehingga kejadian banjir pada tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 di DAS Sunter hanya berasal dari pasang air laut. Kata Kunci : Banjir Rob, Pasang-Surut, Limpasan Permukaan, DAS Sunter.
