Judul: Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Keputusan Mahasiswa IPB Angkatan 2012/2013 Memilih IPB Sebagai Tempat Melanjutkan Pendidikan Tinggi
Abstrak: The large number of universities in Indonesia make students have to decide which one they would choose as their higher education. Bogor Agricultural University is one of the state universities in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to obtain the factors that influence the decision of IPB students, generation of 2012/2013, in choosing IPB as a place to continue their higher education. Data collection was performed by the method of random sampling strata. In preliminary survey result, it was found 32 reason statements of IPB students, generation of 2012/2013, in choosing IPB as a place to pursue their higher education. The data obtained were then processed using factor analysis, and the results of this processing were used to classify the 32 reason statements into 10 factors with a cumulative variability percentage that can be explained in the amount of 71.265%. These factors are namely IPB factor as agricultural-based university and the ideals of the prospective students, IPB factor as qualified university and its good future promise, cost factor and IPB student characteristics, promotion factor and IPB campus environmental factor, native school environmental factor, IPB factor as a proud state university, knowledge factor of the university, students family environmental factor, major subject desired factor and IPB location, and IPB factor as the top choice university.

Judul: Kajian Indikator Motivasi Dalam Memilih IPB Pada Mahasiswa Angkatan 50
Abstrak: Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) is one of higher education providers services in Indonesia. IPB much in demand among the community as a place to gain an education. This is shown by the increasing number of applicants each year in IPB. The aim of the research was to analyze the motivation of students IPB in choosing IPB as a place to gain higher education and knowing the dominant factor which could affect the decision in choosing IPB. The study used a survey method. Factor analysis was a multivariate method used to analyze the variables that allegedly related with one to another so that relation can be described and mapped or grouped on the right factors. The results of the research indicated that the dominant motivating factor in choosing IPB as continuing education was because IPB accreditation status with total of eigen value is 7,929 or 22,654%. The results from SEM showed that students IPB (2013/2014) more internally motivated than externally., services in Indonesia. IPB much in demand among the community as a place to gain an education.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
