Abstrak: Asian soft-shell turtle (Amyda cartilaginea Boddaert, 1770) has been recorded as the most harvested turtle species in Indonesia, mainly for consumption purpose in oriental countries. In order to prevent over-exploitation and the declining of the population, harvesting has been limited by quota. In practice, the harvesting still showed an enormous number and the determination of the quota itself was not yet based on the data of Amyda population. This research was aimed to identify mortality rate through identification of the trading system since for highly-valued species harvesting was the major cause of mortality. The demographyc and morphometric parameters were measured to characterize the harvested population by its size, sex ratio, age-class and range of bodymass and carapace length. Twenty dissected speciments were observed to study the reproduction condition of different size of Amyda, thus used to estimate potential lost caused by harvesting. Amyda’s habitat was characterized by measuring 9 biophysical variables of each of 90 fishing plots in 16 rivers and 3 lakes. The result showed that the size of harvested population of Amyda at the trader level was different from one to another, but showed similar trends of domination in sex and age class which were adult females and reaching the number of 58.28%. The people dealing with the harvesting activities of Amyda had no preference for size and sex of the harvested animal. Reproduction condition of the observed Amyda showed that at the size of five kilograms, the females were at the age of maturity. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on the habitat biophysical variable on stream showed that Amyda had no habitat preference.

Judul: Karakteristik Habitat Tangkap dan Parameter Demografi Populasi Panenan Labi-labi Amyda cartilaginea (Boddaert 1770) di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah.
Abstrak: Amyda cartilaginea (Boddaert 1770) is one of harvested turtle species in Indonesia, mainly for consumption purpose in oriental countries. In order to prevent over-exploitation and the declining of the population, harvesting has been limited by quota. However, there is still too few supporting data, that can be used as a basis to determine the quota. The research was aimed to identify characteristics of catchment habitat, and also the demography and morphometric parameters of A. cartilaginea in Central Kalimantan Province. The result showed that harvested population of A. cartilaginea was dominated by adult females within the range weight of 3 – 5 kilograms of body mass. Two statistical tests were applied to describe the characteristic of catchment habitat of A. cartileginea in Central Kalimantan. Chi-square test on the types of land cover suggested that A. cartileginea catchment habitat had a specific condition. Index Neu showed that the catchment habitat were swamp and river (w=10,17; w=6,28 respectively). Binary logistic regression was used to construct a model which explained the dominant variables influencing the number of A. cartileginea at a certain point of habitat. There were four biophysical variables that significantly drove the number of catchment of A. cartileginea, and all were negatively correlated with number of catchment.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
