Judul: Pemanfaatan Tepung Mix (Badan dan Kepala) Ikan Lele (Clarias gariepinus) dalam Pembuatan Bubur Instan Tinggi Kalsium untuk Lanjut Usia
Abstrak: Major concern of health disorders to the elderly is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a decrease in bone mass that occurs gradually with increasing age. Catfish waste like fish-head can be utilized as a source of mineral because it contains high calcium and phosphorus. This research aimed to utilize mixture catfish flour from the body and head in making high calcium instant porridge for the elderly. The experimental design used in this study was complete random design with the addition of mix flour of catfish as treatment, which consisted of 7% (2% catfish flour from the body and 5% catfish flour from the head), 9% (2% catfish flour from the body and 7% catfish flour from the head), and 11% (2% catfish flour from the body and 9% catfish flour from the head). Analysis of the data using One Way ANOVA and Independent Sample t-Test. The results of sensory analysis indicate that the first formula (7%) was the most accepted by the panelists. The study showed that the control formula vs elected instant porridge formula is significantly different (p<0.05), in terms of the whiteness, calcium, phosphorus, and all other nutrients except moisture contents. The serving size of instant porridge flour based on the average consumption of the elderly is 52 g. It contains 246 Cal of energy, 8.2 g of protein, 2.3 g of fat, 154.2 mg of calcium, and 75.2 mg of phosphorus.

Judul: Formulasi Flakes Pati Garut dan Tepung Ikan Lele Dumbo (Clarias gariepinus) sebagai Pangan Kaya Energi Protein dan Mineral
Abstrak: The objective of this study was to produce arrowroot starch flakes with dumbo catfish (Clarias gariepinus) flour, as a rich energy, protein and mineral food for elderly. Design of this study was using Complete Randomized Design with four formula and each combination was replicated two times. A selected formula was determined based on semi trained panelists preference. Acceptance of selected flakes formula was examined by elderly using hedonic test. Flakes by addition of 33% of dumbo catfish flour was the selected formula. The chemical properties for selected flakes were as follows 4.00% of water content, 4.84% of ash content, 16.90% of protein content, 5.21% of fat content, 69.06% of carbohydrate content, 14.48% of calcium content and 8.61% of phosphorus content. The selected flakes contain 390.71 Kcals energy per 100 g. The selected flakes had contributed more than 20% of energy, protein, calcium and phosphorus for elderly people so it can be claimed as a food product rich in energy, protein and mineral

Judul: Dampak QBO terhadap Curah Hujan yang Dipengaruhi oleh MJO di Indonesia.
Abstrak: QBO memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan MJO di wilayah tropis selama musim dingin di belahan bumi utara (BBU). Frekuensi dan jumlah hari MJO lebih tinggi ketika fase timuran QBO (QBOE) dibanding fase baratannya (QBOW). Meskipun, QBO dan MJO terhubung erat, tetapi dampak QBO terhadap curah hujan belum diketahui. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis dampak fase – fase QBO terhadap curah hujan saat MJO aktif di Indonesia. Fase QBO ditentukan menggunakan anomali kecepatan angin zonal 50 hPa sedangkan fase MJO ditentukan menggunakan real-time multivariate index (RMMI ). Curah hujan dari TRMMv7 digunakan untuk menganalisis dampak QBO terhadap curah hujan MJO. Total kolom uap air, suhu 100 hPa, dan angin vertikal digunakan untuk menganalisis hubungan QBO-MJO terhadap variabilitas curah hujan. Untuk mengisolasi sinyal MJO, digunakan band-pass filter. Aktivitas konveksi MJO yang dianalisis menggunakan outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) menunjukkan amplitudo lebih besar saat QBOE dibanding QBOW. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut, anomali curah hujan harian meningkat (menurun) hingga 3,3 mm/hari (1,8 mm/hari) dan adanya propagasi ke timur yang lebih (kurang) jelas saat QBOE (QBOW). Selain itu, saat QBOE (QBOW) perubahan peluang curah hujan ekstrem meningkat (menurun) hingga 100% (70%) dan tersebar lebih tinggi (rendah) selama fase basah MJO. Suhu tropopause lebih dingin (hangat), distribusi luas (sempit) dari total kolom uap air, dan vertikal adveksi ke atas (ke bawah) teramati terjadi saat QBOE (QBOW). Pengamatan tersebut mengarah pada adanya konveksi skala besar yang lebih kuat (lemah) dan peningkatan (penurunan) intensitas curah hujan dan peluang curah hujan ekstrem.
