Judul: Kasus Mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor Tahun 1997/1998
Abstrak: Tingkat keberhasilan mahasiswa dalam proses studi di perguruan tinggi dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor. Secara umum dapat dikelompokkan menjadi dua faktor, yaitu : faklor intelektual dan faklor nonintelektual. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menelaah pengaruh kedua faktor tersebut terhadap prestasi akademik mahasiswa IPB, baik yang diterima melalui jalur USMI maupun UMPTN. Beragamnya kemarnpuan dan karakteristik mahasiswa yang masuk di suatu fakultas terkait bidang ilmu yang ditekuni juga mencirikan kondisi dan potensi akademik mahasiswa di fakultas tersebm. Hal ini dicirikan oleh nilai IPK, NEM dan nilai rapor SMU (matematika, fisika, kimia dan biologi).

Judul: Analisis Karakteristik dan Motivasi Mahasiswa IPB yang Mengalami Problematik Akademik
Abstrak: Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) merupakan salah satu perguruan tinggi yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan sumber daya manusia dan mutu pendidikan yang berkualitas. Salah satu indikator keberhasilan suatu program pendidikan dapat dilihat pada keberhasilan akademik mahasiswa. Keberhasilan akademik mahasiswa dapat dilihat berdasarkan ketepatan waktu mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan masa studi. Keberagaman latar belakang memperlihatkan adanya karakteristik yang berbeda-beda dan beragamnya keaktifan dalam mengikuti perkuliahan menunjukan terdapatnya motivasi dalam diri mahasiswa. Kedua hal tersebut menjadi penting untuk dikaji sebagai evaluasi dalam merencanakan metode pembelajaran sehingga dapat mengurangi problematik akademik yang dihadapi mahasiswa dan tercapainya keberhasilan akademik. Metode yang digunakan untuk melihat karakteristik mahasiswa adalah dengan analisis deskriptif dan gambaran motivasi mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan studi menggunakan metode analisis faktor yaitu Exploratory Factor Analysis dan Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Hasil yang didapatkan dari Exploratory Factor Analysis menunjukan bahwa terdapat enam faktor yang memengaruhi motivasi mahasiswa dengan keragaman total yang mampu dijelaskan sebesar 47%. Nilai tersebut menunjukan bahwa adanya faktor lain yang dapat dikaji dalam studi lebih lanjut. Kontribusi terbesar pada variabel motivasi mahasiswa adalah efikasi diri (70,8%) yaitu keyakinan dan kepercayaan mahasiswa akan kemampuannya dalam mengontrol hasil dari usaha yang dilakukan., Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) is one of the universities that aims to create human resources and quality education. One indicator of the success of an educational program can be seen in the academic success of students. Student academic success can be seen based on the timeliness of students in completing the study period. The diversity of backgrounds shows different characteristics, and the variety of activities in attending lectures shows that students are motivated. These two things are essential to be studied as evaluations in planning learning methods to reduce academic problems faced by students and achieve academic success. The method used to see the characteristics of students is descriptive analysis and a description of student motivation in completing the study using factor analysis methods, namely Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results obtained from Exploratory Factor Analysis show that six factors influence student motivation with a total diversity that can be explained by 47%. This value indicates that other factors can be studied in further studies. The most significant contribution to the variable of student motivation is self-efficacy (70,8%), namely student’s confidence and belief in their ability to control the result of the efforts made.

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
