Judul: Karakteristik, Sikap dan Perilaku Karyawan Cold Storage terkait Praktik Higiene Daging
Abstrak: Meat storage in cold storage is a critical point in food chain, as it needs good management to prevent spoilages on meat. Meat hygiene practice during storage is influenced characteristic, attitude and practices of the workers. The characteristic of workers analyzed in this research including age, education level, level of knowledge, working experience, training of hygiene, and level of income. Characteristic will influence the attitude of the workers, and attitude will lead practice. Positive attitude will lead form positive practice. The correlation between practice and attitude of the workers in meat hygiene practice is also strengh than standard operational procedures (SOP) and supervision by manager. The study was conducted with survei method using questionnaire and checklist. Respondents in this study are workers in cold storage of meat importers company. The data was analyzed using non perimetric statistic, i.e., Gamma correlation coefficient. Then, data was analyzed using SPSS 16 and Microsoft Excel 2007. The analysis showed that characteristic which have correlation with attitude are level of knowledge (rs = 0,420) and working experience (rs = 0,363). The attitude of the workers had correlation with practice (rs = 0,676). The correlation of the attitude of the workers with practice was increased by the influences of SOP (rs = 0,686) and supervision by manager (rs = 0,909). The results of this research showed that to have good practice performance, then positive attitude, SOP, and supervision by manager should be conducted simultaneously.

One of factors affecting the safety and quality of fresh chicken meat is application of hygiene and sanitation in markets. The aims of this study were to observe the knowledge, attitude, and practices of chicken meat vendors and to evaluate the level of hygiene and sanitation of chicken carcass at vendors in traditional markets in the Province of DKI Jakarta and correlated to each variables. This study was conducted by cross-sectional using questionnaires for interview respondents and observation on practices of hygiene and sanitation. The respondents were chicken meat vendors who traded in the traditional market in five districts in the Province of DKI Jakarta. Total of 217 respondents was involved in this study. The study used cluster random sampling method for identification the market and identification of sample cluster was done using probability proportional to size method. The data were analyzed descriptively and the association among variables was determined with gamma tests. Most of respondents (n=209; 96.3%) had knowledge categorized from moderate to good. There was no respondents whose attitude were categorized as bad, they were categorized in attitude as moderate (n=72; 33.2%) and good (n=145; 66.8%). Most of respondents (n=174; 80.2%) was categorized as moderate in practices of hygiene and sanitation. Further analysis showed that the educational levels were significantly correlated with knowledge (p<0.05), experiences were significantly correlated with the knowledge, and age was significantly correlated with the attitudes (p<0.05). The significant associations (p<0.05) were also showed between knowledge and attitude and then attitude and practice.

Judul: Keanekaragaman Bazzania (Marchantiophyta: Lepidoziaceae) di Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser, Aceh Tenggara, Sumatra.
Abstrak: Bazzania merupakan marga besar dari lumut hati berdaun, banyak jenis-jenis dari marga ini yang persebarannya berada di hutan tropis. Keanekaragaman dan kemelimpahan Bazzania meningkat pada hutan hujan pegunungan yang sering berkabut serta berkelembaban tinggi sehingga hutan ini disebut sebagai “hutan lumut”. Marga ini memiliki karakter diagnostik yakni percabangan membentuk pola “Y”, terdapat flagel dan daun tersusun secara incubous. Laporan tentang persebaran Bazzania di Sumatra belum mencakup semua kawasan hutan pegunungan yang ada di Sumatra, termasuk Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL). Taman nasional ini merupakan laboratorium alam yang berorientasi pada perlindungan bagi pelbagai jenis tumbuhan termasuk Bazzania. Oleh karena itu penelitian floristik ini dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi keanekaragaman Bazzania TNGL sebagai upaya pelengkapan daftar jenis Bazzania Sumatra. Eksplorasi spesimen Bazzania dilakukan di sepanjang jalur pendakian di TNGL (1417-2900 m dpl), dimulai dari Rainforest Lodge Kedah sampai Camp Alas. Koleksi spesimen herbarium disimpan di Herbarium Bogoriense (BO). Informasi karakter morfologi yang diamati selanjutnya digunakan dalam menyusun kunci identifikasi dan mempertelakan jenis Bazzania yang terdokumentasi di TNGL. Sebanyak 13 jenis Bazzania ditemukan di TNGL, umumnya tumbuh pada substrat batang pohon, kayu lapuk, dan ranting. Marga Bazzania memiliki variasi struktur umum gametofit yaitu tipe perawakan (kekar, ramping); bentuk pertumbuhan (merayap, mendongak, menggantung); bentuk koloni (mengeset tebal, mengeset tipis), orientasi daun lateral (tersebar mendatar ketika segar maupun kering, tersebar mendatar ketika segar tetapi tergulung masuk ketika kering), susunan daun ventral (menyirap rapat, berjarak renggang). Daun lateral memiliki variasi pada karakter bentuk, ujung, tepi, pangkal daun; kehadiran struktur tambahan seperti cuping di bagian pangkal daun; keberadaan vitta, bentuk sel pada lembaran daun, dan keberadaan trigon. Daun lateral berbentuk asimetris menyegitiga, membundar, membundar telur hingga melancor-melidah; ujung daun bergigi 2-4 dengan torehan dangkal sampai dalam, atau tidak beraturan; tepi mengombak halus, bergigi halus, bergerigi; pangkal bagian dorsal menjantung, membundar dengan tambahan seperti cuping; pangkal bagian ventral lurus, membundar; vita ada atau absen; sel berbentuk isodiametris, persegi, linear; trigon kecil, besar; kutikula halus, berbingkahan. Daun ventral memiliki variasi pada karakter bentuk, tepi, ujung, dan pangkal daun, serta kehadiran bagian daun yang hialin. Daun ventral berbentuk persegi empat, persegi empat memanjang, membundar, membundar telur, menyegitiga, mengginjal; ujung berjelabir, bergerigi, bergigi, rata; tepi mengombak sederhana, bergigi, bergerigi, bercuping dangkal, bercuping dalam; pangkal bebas, atau satu atau kedua sisinya melekat pada daun lateral; hialin absen, semua bagian daun ventral tersusun sel hialin, tidak semua bagian semua bagian daun ventral berhialin. Terdapat 5 jenis Bazzania diketahui sebagai rekaman baru untuk Sumatra yaitu Bazzania horridula, B. adnexa, B. angustifolia, B. fauriana, dan B. oshimensis; empat jenis terakhir juga merupakan rekaman baru untuk Malesia. Bazzania horridula telah dilaporkan ada di Jawa. Persebaran B. adnexa sebelumnya hanya dilaporkan di Australiasia dan China Selatan. Bazzania angustifolia, dan B. fauriana dilaporkan ada di Jepang, Vietnam Utara, Taiwan. Persebaran B. oshimensis meliputi wilayah Asia dan Indo-China (Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Formosa, Ceylon, India dan Jepang). Kelima jenis tersebut menambah jumlah jenis Bazzania Sumatra yang sebelumnya dilaporkan sebanyak 38 jenis, sekarang menjadi 43 jenis.
