Judul: Karakterisasi gen nifD bakteri metanotrof asal sawah
Abstrak: Methanotrophic bacteria are methane oxidizing bacteria. Some methanotrophs able of fix nitrogen using nitrogenase enzyme. Nitrogenase is composed of two multisubunit metallo protein. Component I contains the active site to nitrogen reduction, encoded by the nifD and nifK genes. Methanotrophic isolates of BGM 3 and BGM 9 had high ammonium accumulation cultured in Nitrate Mineral Salts (NMS) free nitrogen medium. nifD gene fragmens from BGM 3 and BGM 9 were amplified and sequenced. Sequences analyzed using bioinformatics tools such as Blast-N, Blast-X, Expasy Translate Tools, Conserved Domain (CDD) and Scan PROSITE. Phylogenetic construction made using MEGA 4 software. Sequence analysis showed that the nifD sequences of BGM 3 and BGM 9 most closely related to nifD fragmen of Xanthobacter autotropicus PY2. The Identity values of nifD sequences was 92% and 91% respectively. nifD genes from these isolates encode FeMo protein, which was 4Fe4S and 2Fe2S clusters. The nifD gene of BGM 3 and BGM 9 suspected to have same ancestor with the nifD gene of Xanthobacter autotropicus PY2 and Bradyhizobium japonicum USDA 110.

Judul: Seleksi dan Uji Aktivitas Fiksasi Nitrogen (N2) Bakteri Metanotrof Asal Sawah pada Konsentrasi Oksigen (O2) Berbeda.
Abstrak: Methanotrophic bacteria is methane oxydizing bacteria. This bacteria has a specific enzyme known as methane monooksigenase (MMO) catalizing reaction of CH4 and O2 to methanol. Methanotrophic bacteria also have ability to fix nitrogen. Methanotrophic bacteria type II and type X could fix nitrogen using nitrogenase enzyme. This enzyme is very sensitive to oxygen. As many as 19 isolates of methanotrophic bacteria was recultured and determined their nitrogen fixation activity at different oxygen concentration. Nitrogen fixation activity was determined by measuring ammonium accumulation in NMS free nitrogen medium. High ammonium accumulation was found at cultures of BGM 1, BGM 3, BGM 5, dan BGM 9 isolates. The highest ammonium accumulation (88,816 <M) was showed by BGM 9 isolate on 30% oxygen concentration and the highest cell density was showed by BGM 5 isolate (OD 0,103) on 80% oxygen concentration.

Judul: Penetapan Harga Jaminan Polis Asuransi Jiwa dengan Premi  Tahunan dan Opsi Surrender
Abstrak: Asuransi jiwa memberikan perlindungan pada tertanggung (pemegang polis) jika mengalami risiko finansial, dengan suatu perjanjian tertanggung harus membayar premi. Premi yang sudah terkumpul pada perusahaan asuransi dapat diinvestasikan, yang salah satu tempatnya adalah di pasar bursa. Perusahaan asuransi menawarkan suatu kontrak kepada pemegang polis yang disebut dengan kontrak partisipasi. Pada kontrak partisipasi risiko finansial dan keuntungan dibagi dengan pemegang polis dan biasanya keuntungan tersebut dimasukkan ke dalam cadangan polis pada tiap akhir tahun kontrak. Hal ini berarti secara tidak langsung perusahaan asuransi menyatakan penambahan pertanggungan, sehingga mengakibatkan perubahan benefit yang diterima oleh pemegang polis. Pada kontrak partisipasi ini, pemegang polis diberikan hak untuk mengakhiri kontrak (opsi surrender). Pada kontrak partisipasi asuransi jiwa endowmen terdapat opsi bonus (bonus option) yang penghitungan besar preminya dengan pendekatan tipe Eropa dan opsi surrender (surrender option) dengan tipe Amerika.
