Judul: Identifikasi Potensi Jalur Wisata Birdwatching di Cluster Northridge Sentul City, Bogor
Abstrak: Birdwatching tourism is an environment friendly activity that can be implemented for supporting eco-city concept in Sentul City. The goal of this research is to identify birds species in five observation trails, identify the trails that potential for birdwatching tourism and make recommendation for birwatching tourism trail. Identificationof birdwatching trails had been conducted in Cluster Northridge Residence, from May until July 2013. Collecting data from literature review and field observation. The results showed that the richness of bird was 36 species from 21 family. The fourth trail which was Telaga Indah street had the highest number of birds whereas the first trail which was Bukit Permata 1 had the lowest number of birds. The potential trail for birdwatching tourism was fourth trail because it had highest biodiversity of birds and the unique birds, such as collared kingfisher (Halcyon chloris), javan kingfisher (Halcyon cyanoventris), small minivet (Pericrocotus cinnamomeus) and black-crowned night-heron (Nycticorax nycticorax). Visitors can do the birdwatching tourism with walking and riding on horseback.

Judul: Bird Community as a Potential Birdwatching Tourism in Buperta Cibubur Urban Forest
Abstrak: Hutan Kota Buperta Cibubur sebagai ruang terbuka hijau dengan fungsi rekreasi dan edukasi cukup potensial untuk wisata birdwatching. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi jenis dan kelimpahan burung, mendeskripsikan sebaran spasial dan temporal burung, serta membuat rekomendasi jalur dan waktu wisata birdwatching. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Maret-April 2022. Pengumpulan data burung dilakukan menggunakan metode encounter rates dan metode daftar jenis MacKinnon pada lima jalur pengamatan. Total jenis burung yang ditemukan yaitu sebanyak 39 jenis dari 25 famili. Jalur Hutan dan Lahan Terbangun memiliki jumlah jenis terbanyak sedangkan jalur Tegakan Rawang 2 memiliki jumlah jenis paling sedikit. Jalur Lahan Terbangun memiliki kelimpahan burung tertinggi. Beberapa jenis burung dapat ditemukan di seluruh jalur pengamatan. Waktu yang paling efektif untuk menemukan berbagai jenis burung adalah 6.00-7.00 dan 16.31-17.30. Jalur Lahan Terbangun, Hutan, dan Lahan Terbuka berpotensi untuk wisata birdwatching karena memiliki kekayaan dan kelimpahan tinggi dengan beberapa jenis burung yang potensial. Waktu yang direkomendasikan untuk melakukan birdwatching pada setiap jalur berbeda sesuai dengan kondisi jalur., The Urban Forest of Buperta Cibubur as a green open space with recreational and educational functions has quite potential for birdwatching tourism. This study aims to identify the species and abundance of birds, describe the spatial and temporal distribution of the birds, and make track and time recommendations for birdwatching tourism. This study was conducted in March-April 2022. Bird data was collected using the encounter rates and MacKinnon species list method on five observation tracks. The total species of birds found were 39 species from 25 families. Forest and the Built-up Land track had the highest number of species, while the Sparse Vegetation 2 had the least number of species. The Built-up Land track had the highest bird abundance. Several types of birds can commonly be found on all tracks. The most effective time to see various species of birds is 6.00-7.00 and 16.31-17.30. The Built-up Land, Forest, and Open Land tracks have the potential for birdwatching tourism because they have high species richness and abundance with several potential bird species. The recommended time for birdwatching on each track is different according to the track conditions.

Judul: Synthesis of Fatty Acid Diethanolamide (FADEA) Based on Crude Palm Oil (MIKO) with Microwave Tecqniques
Abstrak: FADEA atau Fatty Acid Diethanolamide merupakan surfaktan nonionik yang umumnya disintesis dengan teknik konduksi panas. Teknik lain yang digunakan untuk menghasilkan FADEA berupa teknik mikrogelombang karena pemanasan lebih merata, bersifat selektif, dan dapat mempercepat waktu reaksi. Dalam penelitian ini, FADEA dihasilkan dari reaksi amidasi antara asam lemak MIKO sawit dan dietanolamina dengan bantuan mikrogelombang. Sintesis FADEA pada MIKO:DEA 1:1; 1:2, dan 1:3 berhasil terbentuk, namun hasil spektrum FT- IR terdapat puncak asam lemak yang belum terkonversi sempurna membentuk amida. Karakterisasi FADEA seperti asam lemak bebas (ALB), amina bebas, pH, dan total amida pada masing-masing perbandingan sudah memenuhi standar coco- DEA komersil. FADEA dari ketiga perbandingan terbaik dihasilkan pada perbandingan 1:1. Hal ini dikarenakan total amida yang dihasilkan lebih besar yaitu diatas 95%. FADEA yang didapatkan juga dapat menurunkan tegangan permukaan saat nilai KMK tercapai, yaitu pada konsentrasi 0,05−0,06% b/v. Uji kinerja FADEA seperti stabilitas busa tertinggi di dapat pada konsentrasi 0,3% b/v dan akan meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi., FADEA is a nonionic surfactant which is generally synthesized by conventional techniques. Another technique used to produce FADEA is the microwave technique because the heating is more even, selective, and can speed up the reaction time. In this study, FADEA was produced from the amidation reaction between palm MIKO fatty acids and diethanolamine with the help of microwaves. FADEA synthesis on MIKO:DEA 1:1; 1:2, and 1:3 were wholly formed, but the result of FT-IR showed a fatty acid peak that had not been completely converted to form amides. FADEA characterizations such as the amount of ALB, free amine, pH, and total amide in each comparison have complied with commercial coco-DEA standards. FADEA of the three best comparisons is produced at a ratio of 1:1. This is because the total amide produced is greater, which is above 95%. The obtained FADEA can also reduce the surface tension when the CMC value is reached, namely at a concentration of 0.05−0,06% w/v. FADEA performance tests such as the highest foam stability were obtained at a concentration of 0.3% w/v and will increase with increasing concentration.
