Judul: Analisis Karakteristik Sifat Fisis Filamen Nanoselulosa-Alginat-PVA Untuk Aplikasi 3D Bioink
Abstrak: Nanoselulosa merupakan karbohidrat yang sangat melimpah di alam. Selain ramah lingkungan, nanoselulosa memiliki sifat biokompatibel, biodegradable, dan printability sehingga dapat diaplikasikan sebagai bahan baku 3D bioink. Matrix PVA/alginat dapat diformulasikan dengan selulosa sebagai reinforcing agent. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh konsentrasi nanoselulosa terhadap sifat fisis filamen yang dibuat menggunakan metode wet spinning. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah meta-analisis dengan pendekatan regresi linear sederhana. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan pencarian nilai koefisien determinasi (R2), p-value, serta koefisien kemiringan kurva. Melalui model regresi linear sederhana, kekuatan mekanis material dari hasil uji tensile strength dianalisis pada penelitian ini. Selain itu, derajat kristalinitas dan stabilitas termal juga dianalisis. Spektra FTIR filamen dianalisis berdasarkan intensitas, shifting wave number, dan gugus fungsi. Morfologi permukaan dan cross section filamen diamati citranya melalui hasil uji SEM. Diameter partikel ikut serta diulas., Nanocellulose is a carbohydrate that is very abundant in nature. In addition to being environmentally friendly, nanocellulose has biocompatible, biodegradable, and printability properties so that it can be applied as a raw material for 3D bioink. Matrix PVA/alginate can be formulated with cellulose as a reinforcing agent. This study aims to analyze the effect of nanocellulose concentration on the physical properties of filaments made using the wet spinning method. The method used in this study is a meta-analysis with a simple linear regression approach. Data processing was carried out by searching for the coefficient of determination (R2), p-value, and the slope coefficient of the curve. Through a simple linear regression model, the mechanical strength of the material from the tensile strength test results was analyzed in this study. In addition, the degree of crystallinity and thermal stability were also analyzed. Filament FTIR spectra were analyzed based on intensity, shifting wave number, and functional groups. The surface morphology and the cross section of the filament were observed through the SEM test results. The particle diameter was also reviewed.

Judul: Produksi Filamen Komposit PVA-Alginat dengan Selulosa dari Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit
Abstrak: Selulosa merupakan polimer alami terbarukan yang ketersediaannya melimpah di bumi dan salah satu sumbernya tersedia pada tandan kosong kelapa sawit (TKKS). TKKS merupakan salah satu biomassa yang dihasilkan dari produksi minyak sawit (CPO). Selulosa diisolasi melalui tahap deliginifikasi dan bleaching. Selulosa TKKS dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan filamen dimana selulosa dicampur dengan polivinil alkohol (PVA) dan alginat. Dalam penelitian ini, filamen komposit selulosa-PVA-alginat diproduksi melalui metode wet spinning dengan CaCl2 sebagai larutan koagulan. Dilakukan observasi efek formulasi filamen dan konsentrasi CaCl2 terhadap sifat mekanik, morfologi, kristalinitas, dan termal filamen. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan peningkatan konsentrasi selulosa menyebabkan stabililitas termal yang baik, kristalinitas tinggi, meskipun morfologi permukaan filamen menjadi lebih kasar. Filamen dengan penambahan selulosa (5, 10, dan 15%) memberikan hasil yang signifikan terhadap sifat mekanik filamen, khususnya kuat tarik. Peningkatan konsentrasi CaCl2 menghasilkan filamen dengan stabilitas termal yang baik, namun konsentrasi CaCl2 yang lebih rendah menghasilkan filamen dengan kuat tarik yang lebih baik.

Judul: Ragam jenis ektoparasit burung tekukur (Streptopelia chinensis) dan burung puter (Streptopelia bitorquata) di penangkaran
Abstrak: Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove are the bird species that are easily raised in captivity. Nevertheless, good management is required to successfully breed and raise the birds in captivity; otherwise, the condition may endanger the sustainability of the two bird species. Information on ectoparasites on the bodies of this bird as well as their captivity breeding has not been available, although admittedly taking ectoparasites from these bird families has much been done so that a research is obviously needed. This study aimed to find out various kinds of Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove ectoparasites and to learn various kinds of parasitic insects around the Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove cages. The study was conducted from April to June 2010. The methods of data collection included the general condition of the location, collection of ectoparasites specimens, processing and specimens identification. The data analysis was done descriptively and tabulated with the degree of infestation. The kinds of ectoparasites from the class of insects found in the body of Spotted dove were Goniocotes sp. and Columbicola columbae of phthiraptera order and Pseudolynchia canariensis of diptera order, and arachnida class, that is, tungau from the pterolichidae family. In terms of ectoparasites, Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove were similar, except that Javan turtle dove had no Pseudolynchia canariensis. Goniocotes sp. and Columbicola columbae were mallopaga order (biting lice) and were obligate. The kinds of parasitic insects in the vicinity of Spotted dove and Javan turtle dove cages were from the Ordo Diptera. The diptera classified as parasites included Anopheles, Culex, Psychodidae, Culicoides and Simulium, most of them vectors of disease. The presence of ectoparasites was closely related to how a breeding place is managed.
