Abstrak: Study on conflict management of bulls (Bos javanicus d’Alton 1832) conservation with community in Meru Betiri National Park and Alas Purwo National Park East Java was conducted on 2008 to 2010. The aims of study were to analyze the potency of habitat to know carrying capacity of bulls feeding ground, perception and social economic of community around national park and to identify stakeholders who have conflict with bulls conservation .The main aim of the study to formulate conservation strategy of bulls with used collaborative management as solution management of wildlife conflict. The method of study were used food source productivity and carrying capacity analysis, stakeholders grid, analysis hierarchy process (AHP) and SWOT analysis. The result showed that the main stakeholders who have interested on bulls management in Meru Betiri National Park are plantation company (MBNT), Production Forest of Perum Parhutani (APNP), community around national park, NGO KAIL and national park management. The research showed that the carrying capacity of feeding ground relatively low to support bulls population in national park. How ever the community perception to national park was very positive, unfortunately the perception of the community to the bulls benefit in the park was negative. The level income of community around MBNP were between Rp.332.000,- to Rp.617.000,- per month and Rp. 885.000,- to Rp.1.445.000,- at APNP. The model of wildlife conflict management solution is co-management by develop program activity and level of co-management existing and hope i.e habitat management of grazing area (consultative and cooperative), development of captive breeding (instructive and informative), ecotourism (consultative and advocacy) and development of medicine and fruits tree (cooperative and advocacy).

Judul: Studi perilaku banteng (Bos javanicus d'Alton 1832) di Taman Nasional Meru Betiri, Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Banteng (Bos javanicus d‟Alton 1832) is one of Artiodactyla and belongs to large ruminant class of mammal. Formerly, banteng was spread widely almost all over on Java Island forest (Hoogerwerf 1970). Banteng is one of rare species and included to wild species conservation category on year 1931 No. 266 which was decanted on Minister of Forestry Letter of Act No. 327/Kpts/Um/7/1972. Furthermore, on Red Data Book IUCN (1972) Banteng was categorized as „vurnerable‟ which means the population was decreasing quickly. Purpose of this study was to knowing and studying habitat, population, and several behavior pattern from Banteng in the Meru Betiri National Park. The behavior which observed consist of feeding, drinking, mating, resting, body caring, parenting, fighting, and individual relationship between banteng and another wildlifes which use the same habitat. Hopefully, the result of this research could add knowledge about habitat, population, and behavior of banteng and as consideration to decide the management plan of Meru Betiri National Park so that it can help the banteng conservation effort. This research was located on Meru Betiri National Park, East Java, in the area of SPTN I Sarongan, SPTN II Ambulu, and SPTN III Kalibaru. This research was conducted during two months from Juli until August 2010. There are two kind of data collection which used in this research, primary data and secondary data. The primary data consist of banteng behavior which use scan sampling and focal animal, banteng habitat condition which use line transect method, and banteng population which use concentration count method. The Banteng on Meru Betiri National Park spent their particulary time at plantation area except banteng at Betiri mountain areal which always lived inside forest. The Banteng on Meru Betiri National Park could adapt with the its environment. The frequent contact with human made the wild attitude of banteng had been started decreasing. There were relationship between banteng and another wildlifes which used the same habitat. Banteng has a grouping strategies, the male would be more aggresive on breeding season. On the spot locations, Sukamade dan Bandealit, banteng was salted in midnight when there was no human activities. Banteng behavior could change depending on condition around. In addition, each group of banteng was lead by an adult female banteng and the males would form protection formation if was on threat. The sex ratio of banteng on Sukamade Resort was 1:4 and on Bandealit Resort was 1:2 with number of population was 9 individu on Sukamade Resort and 69 individu on Bandealit Resort.

Judul: Karakteristik dan efektivitas penetrasi kafein terjebak dan tersalut nanopartikel kitosan sebagai antiselulit
Abstrak: Chitosan used as drug carrier because of is natural polycationic and easily modified in chemical and physical properties. In this research chitosan was chemically modified by coating and entrapping anti-cellulite active substance of caffeine and physically modified by minimizing chitosan particle size into nanoparticles size. The purpose of this research is to characterize the chitosan nanoparticles from its morphology, particle size, function of group, the value of adsorption efficiency, and effectiveness of chitosan nanoparticles against in vitro penetration of caffeine as anti-cellulite using Franz diffusion cell. The morphology characterization test of caffeine trapped in chitosan nanoparticles and caffeine coated by chitosan nanoparticles resulting a smooth surface, slight convex shape, and agglomerated particles; average size of particles are 232.74 nm and 226.62 nm respectively; the function group showed a shift of wave number of amide III groups (-CN) and hydroxyl groups (-OH); the caffeine adsorption efficiency are 51,35% and 64,63% respectively. The result of effective penetration are 1.089.65 ± 10.7 μg/cm2 and 2.170.03 ± 6.85 μg/cm2 respectively.
