Judul: Nilai Ekonomi Tumbuhan Obat Menurut Masyarakat Baduy: Studi Kasus di Desa Kanekes, Leuwidamar, Lebak, Banten
Abstrak: Tumbuhan obat di Indonesia memiliki potensi yang besar untuk dikembangkan. Indonesia tercatat memiliki 2.848 spesies tumbuhan obat dan 32.014 ramuan obat. Salah satu masyarakat yang secara turun-temurun telah memanfaatkan tumbuhan obat adalah masyarakat Baduy. Di sisi lain, cukup banyaknya layanan kesehatan yang tersedia di sekitar kampung Baduy Luar, membuat adanya kemungkinan masyarakat Baduy beralih menggunakan pengobatan modern. Besar nilai ekonomi tumbuhan obat di Desa Kanekes belum diketahui. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi besar nilai ekonomi tumbuhan obat menurut masyarakat Baduy. Nilai ekonomi tumbuhan obat ditentukan dengan menggunakan contingent valuation method (CVM). Nilai willingness to pay (WTP) diduga berdasarkan data yang diperoleh dari 41 responden dengan menggunakan kuesioner dengan open-ended questions. Pemodelan binomial logit kemudian dilakukan untuk mempelajari faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kesediaan masyarakat membayar nilai tumbuhan obat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemampuan membaca (Xra) berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kesediaan masyarakat membayar tumbuhan obat. Masyarakat yang mampu membaca memiliki peluang lebih tinggi untuk membayar tumbuhan obat 6,35 kali lebih besar daripada yang tidak dapat membaca. Nilai ekonomi tumbuhan obat diperkirakan sebesar Rp172.857/orang/tahun., Medicinal plants in Indonesia have great potential to be developed. Indonesia recorded to have 2.848 species of medicinal plants and 32.014 herbal medicine. One of the communities that has been using it for generations is Baduy Indigenous Community. On the other hand, there are health services around Outer Baduy, making it possible for the Baduy Indigenous Community to switch using modern medicine.

The economic value of medicinal plants was determined using contingent valuation method (CVM). The value of willingness to pay (WTP) was estimated based on data obtained from 41 respondents using questionnaire with open-ended questions. Binomial logit model was then carried out to study the factors that influence the people’s willingness to pay for medicinal plants. The results of the study indicated that the ability to read (Xra) has a positive and significant effect on people’s willingness to pay for medicinal plants. People who can read has a higher chance to pay for medicinal plants 6,35 times more than those who cannot read. The economic value of medicinal plants was estimated about Rp172.857/person/year.

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.
