Judul: F. Generalized Exploratory Factor Analysis (GEFA) aproach to reduce the dimension of data in calibration modeling
Abstrak: Generalized Exploratory Factor Analysis (GEFA) is the development of factor analysis method, a statistical technique to reduce the dimension of data by declaring origin variables as a linear combination of a number of factors, so that could explain the diversity of origin variables data. GEFA can resolve the deficiencies in factor analysis, which is troubled by the number of observations less than the number of variables. This condition give the semi-positive definite properties to correlation matrix or covariance matrix. The objective of this research was to obtain the calibration model of medicinal plants, temulawak. The data used were the result of a high performance liquid cromatography (HPLC) analysis and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) in the temulawak powder. An active compound was obtained from HPLC analysis, furthermore it is called dependent variable (y). The result of FTIR produce 1866 transmittance percentage as a chemical functional group of identifier temulawak powder, called independent variable. The results of FTIR was the calibration data with the number of observations less than the number of variables, so as to be able to provide a good model, the data reduction is needed. The calibration model was obtained from the score factors, a result of the reduction of GEFA method, then it was regressed to dependent variable (y). To know the advantages of GEFA, conducted a comparisons with other reduction method, principal component analysis (PCA). Evaluation of a model to determine the goodness of the calibration model, measured from the closeness of dependent variable (y) (correlation coefficient) with the estimation of dependent variable (𝑦���𝑦���􀷜���), root mean square error (RMSE) value, prediction residuals (PRESS) and root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV). GEFA method through the GEFALS algorithm (generalized least square exploratory factor analysis), give the results of the reduction with good graphics and similar patterns with preliminary data. loading factors estimator (L) and specific variance (Ψ) have been good on a lot of factors (k) = 4, since the value model goodness factors i.e. RMS overalls was 0.0027 or smaller than 0.05. However, to get a good score factor (F) for the calibration model, contained in a number of factors k = 14, with a value of RAdj was 0.9398. The results of PCA reduction method showed an inconsistent graph patterns, so it is not able to give a similar pattern with preliminary data. PCA method also give the best calibration model on k = 14, with a value of RAdj was 0.9392. Evaluation of the calibration model from the GEFA reduction and the PCA reduction give the simillar reduction. It can be seen from the correlation coeffiecient and RSME that give the same value, i.e. 0.992 and 0.0136, but the PRESS values and RMSECV of GEFA calibration model obtain a smaller value, and the graph pattern of the reduction of GEFA was similar with the preliminary data, it implies that the results of GEFA reduction is better than PCA reduction.

Judul: Improvement Calibration Models with bayesian Approach (Cases Medicinal Plants)
Abstrak: Medicinal plants have been used commonly in Indonesia, either as raw material or as traditional medicine product e.g “jamu”’ standardized extracts and phytopharmaca. To ensure the quality of medicinal plants product to be accepted by community and industry, the standardization of active or market compound is one of important things to be searched and determined. The active material can be termine qualitatively and quantitatively by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). This process produce concentrate of active material and need more time and costly. The other qualitative methods is using by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red). This process produce chromatogram which depend on respons , fastly and cheaper. The contents of active material in medicine herbs need to be determine accurately and faster. To overcome these problem, accurate and cheaper methods are needed. One of the method is calibration model development which shows the relationship between concentration of active material resulted by HPLC and that by FTIR. This model will decrease processing time and cost.

Judul: Budidaya dan pelestarian buaya air tawar irian (Crocodylus novaeguineae)
Abstrak: Di Indonesia terdapat beberapa spesies buaya diantaranya adalah Crocodylus porosus, Crocodylus novaeguineae, Tomistoma schlegelii dan Crocodylus siamenesis. Crocodylus novaeguineae baru ditemukan tahun 1928 di lrian Jaya dan Papua New Guinea oleh Schmidt. Dengan adanya perdagangan kulit buaya maka masyarakat mulai memburu buaya-buaya alam untuk dijual tanpa memperhatikan kelangsungan hidup spesies tersebut. Tempat hidup buaya-buaya inipun semakin sempit karena diubah jadi perladangan, lalu lintas air dan daerah pemukiman sehingga terjadi penurunan jumlah buaya secara cepat.
