Judul: Biodiversity of Insects in Pummelo ‘Bageng Taji’ (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr)
Abstrak: Serangga dapat berperan sebagai penyeimbang ekologi dan ekosistem perkebunan jeruk pamelo ‘Bageng Taji’ (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr). Jeruk pamelo juga memerlukan serangga untuk penyerbukan yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis keanekaragaman serangga di perkebunan jeruk pamelo ‘Bageng Taji’ di Bageng, Pati, Jawa Tengah. Pengamatan keanekaragaman serangga dilakukan dengan metode pengumpulan aktif berupa sweep net dan hand collecting serta metode pengumpulan pasif berupa pitfall trap. Serangga yang tertangkap pada perkebunan jeruk pamelo terdiri dari 8915 individu dalam 89 morfospesies, 41 famili dan 9 ordo yaitu Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera, Odonata dan Orthoptera. Diversitas serangga pada penelitian ini termasuk dalam kategori sedang dengan kemerataan rendah (H’ = 2,22) (E = 0,49) dan tidak ada spesies yang mendominasi (D = 0,26). Serangga terbanyak yang dikoleksi dengan metode pengumpulan aktif yaitu Hypolimnas bolina (Nymphalidae, Lepidoptera) sedangkan dengan pengumpulan pasif yaitu Nylanderia sp. (Formicidae, Hymenoptera). Serangga yang ditemukan umumnya berperan sebagai herbivor., Insects have a role in balancing of ecology and ecosystem in the pummelo ‘Bageng Taji’ (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr) plantations. Pummelo also required insects for optimal pollination. This study aimed to analyze the diversity of insects in pummelo ‘Bageng Taji’ plantations in Bageng, Pati, Central Java. Observation of insects diversity was carried out using active sampling methods, i.e., sweep nets and hand collecting and passive sampling methods, i.e., pitfall traps. This research recorded 8915 individuals in 89 morphospecies, 41 families and 9 orders namely Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera, Odonata and Orthoptera. Analysis of insects diversity showed in moderate category (H’ = 2,22) with low evenness (E = 0,49) and no species dominated (D = 0,26). Highest number of individual insects collected by active sampling was Hypolimnas bolina (Nymphalidae, Lepidoptera) while used passive sampling was Nylanderia sp. (Formicidae, Hymenoptera). Insects found generally categorized as herbivores.

Judul: Biodiversitas  Serangga pada Perkebunan Jeruk Pamelo (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.) di Desa  Bageng, Kecamatan Gembong, Kabupaten Pati
Abstrak: Serangga memiliki keanekaragaman yang sangat tinggi dan kemampuan adaptasi yang baik pada berbagai habitat. Kajian mengenai serangga pada perkebunan jeruk pamelo di Indonesia belum banyak dilaporkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis keanekaragaman serangga dengan tiga metode koleksi berupa insect net, yellow pan trap, dan Malaise trap pada perkebunan jeruk pamelo di Pati, Jawa Tengah. Pengamatan keanekaragaman serangga dilakukan dengan metode scan sampling dengan mencatat nama spesies dan jumlah individu serangga. Koleksi serangga juga dilakukan dengan menggunakan yellow pan trap dan Malaise trap. Serangga yang dikumpulkan berjumlah 4506 individu yang terdiri atas 128 spesies (morfospesies) dalam 52 famili. Serangga yang ditemukan terbanyak termasuk dalam ordo Hymenoptera, famili Formicidae. Jumlah individu dan spesies serangga paling banyak didapatkan dengan Malaise trap (2349 individu, 77 morfospesies). Diversitas serangga di perkebunan jeruk pamelo termasuk tinggi (Hʹ=3,16, E=0,18) dengan indeks dominansi sebesar 0,15. Salah satu spesies serangga yang banyak ditemukan adalah Anoplolepis gracilipes. Jumlah individu serangga memiliki korelasi positif terhadap suhu, kelembapan udara, dan intensitas cahaya., Insects have a very high diversity and good adaptability in various habitats. Studies on insects in pummelo plantations in Indonesia have not been widely reported. This study aims to analyze the diversity of insects using three collection methods, insect net, yellow pan trap, and Malaise trap in pummelo citrus plantations in Pati, Central Java. Observation of the diversity of insects was carried out using the scan sampling method by recording the name of species and the number of individual insects. Insect collection was also carried out using yellow pan trap and Malaise trap. The collected insects totally 4506 individuals consisting of 128 species (morphospecies) belonging to 52 families. Most insects are included in the Hymenoptera order, family Formicidae. The highest number of individuals and insect species was collected by Malaise traps (2349 individuals, 77 morphospecies). Insect diversity in pummelo plantations was high (Hʹ=3.16, E=0.18) with a dominance index of 0.15. One species of insect that is commonly found is Anoplolepis gracilipes. The number of individual insects has a positive correlation with temperature, humidity, and light intensity

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
