Judul: Penentuan indeks kekeringan agro-hidrologi untuk analisis risiko kekeringan dan mitigasinya (Studi Kasus DAS Kariango Sulawesi Selatan).
Abstrak: Agro-Hydrological drought can be interpreted as a shortage of surface water and groundwater supplying and insufficient for the plants and society needs a certain period. So far there have been no study assessing the agro-hidrology drought index. This study develops a Drought Hazard Index (DHI) as an indicator of Agro-Hydrological drought. The model developed from a combination of dry season rainfall, ground water depth, distance of water sources, soil texture and Water Supply Vegetation Index (WSVI) using remote sensing and GIS methods. Further analysis was caeried out to develop vulnerability and risk of drought which gave an overview of areas that need to be formulated for drought mitigation in the Kariango watershed. Agro-hidrologi Drought Hazard Index was DHI = (0.33CH) + (0.27KAT) + (0.20SA) + (0.13T) + (0.06WSVI) with model validation results showed high similarity drought in the field. The results of the analysis of vulnerability describes 25 % of villages are classified vulnerable. In the drought risk analysis shows the highest class are 19.52 % and 40.98 % are the dominant from paddy fields So that the mitigation efforts created are made together in the form of regulation and capacity building with reference to the combination of risk parameters included hazard risk and vulnerability.

Abstrak: Drought is an event where rainfall is very low for long time period. Drought is a common natural phenomenon in Indonesia. It affects a wide variety of events, one of which is crop failure. This study aims to determine the drought prone of an area in Indramayu using GIS methods based on several bio-physic parameters, to determine the distribution and characteristics of drought prone area in Indramayu district, and to see the difference in the distribution of drought prone area by using different or the equal weights of parameter in annual rainfall or monthly rainfall (dry season). The study consists of several phases namely preparation, collection of base maps and create thematic map, satellite imagery interpretation, analysis and making drought-vulnerable, and presentation of research results. The bio-physic parameters used in this study were rainfall, landforms, land cover, drainage, slope, and stream buffers. All parameters are combined in a GIS analysis using different weighting and equal weighting with annual rainfall and dry season rainfall. The most influential parameter will get the highest value of weight and parameters with small influence will be given a low weight value. Modeling bio-physic parameter with different weights to the annual rainfall resulted in two vulnerable classes, less vulnerable 77.24%, and vulnerable 22.76%, while for the dry season rainfall resulted three classes including not vulnerable 0.74%, less vulnerable 85.20%, and vulnerable 14.06%. Maps with the equal weighting parameters for the annual rainfall resulted in four classes including not vulnerable 0.07%, less vulnerable 76.26%, vulnerable 23.56% and very vulnerable 0.11%. For the dry season rainfall also resulted in four classes: not vulnerable 0.47%, less vulnerable 84.12%, and vulnerable 15.28%, and the very vulnerable classes 0.12%. The subdistrict that potentially effected by drought prone area are Trisi subdistrict and Gantar subdistrict.

Judul: Anatomi otot-otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis)
Abstrak: Hewan primata banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis karena memiliki kemiripan anatomi dengan manusia. Evolusi dari otot wajah mamalia yang berhubungan dengan ekspresi wajah dan komunikasi visual terutama pada hewan pimata dalam hal ini otot-otot daerah kelopak mata serta mulut memegang peranan penting (Bennet et al., 1995). Monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) adalah slah satu jenis hewan primata di antara 5 hewan primata yang paling banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis (Anonimus, 2000; Anonimus, 2002). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari morfologi otot-otot ekspresi wajah beserta origo dan insersionya untuk melengkapi data dasar anatomi otot pada M. fascicularis. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga ekor preparat monyet ekor panjang yang telah diawetkan dalam larutan formalin 10% dan sebuah tengkorak kepala beserta tulang rahang bawah monyet ekor panjang. Pengamatan yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi otot beserta origo dan insersionya, dan hubungannya dengan variasi ekspresi wajah yang mampu dilakukan monyet ekor panjang, kemudian membandingkannya dengan literatur anatomi manusia, beberapa hewan primata lain, hewan herbivora dan karnivora. Dari hasil pengamatan, pada susunan otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang ditemukan lima kelompok otot: 1). Kelompok otot kulit kepala yaitu: m. occipitofrontalis (gabungan m. frontalis dan m. occipitalis). 2). Kelompok otot hidung yaitu: m. nasolabialis. 3). Kelompok otot mulut yaitu: m. nasolabialis, m. zygomaticus major, m. zygomaticus minor, m. levator anguli oris, m. depressor anguli oris, m depressor labii inferioris, m. mentalis, m. buccinatorius, m. orbicularis oris dan m. platysma. 4). Kelompok otot telinga yaitu: m auricularis posterior, m. auricularis superior dan m. auricularis anterior. 5). Kelompok otot kelopak mata yaitu: m. orbicularis oculi, m. corrugator supercilii dan mlevator palpebrae superioris. Setiap kelompok otot memiliki berbagai karakteristik baik morfologi maupun origo dan insersio yang berbeda dengan primata. lain, kuda, sapi dan anjing. Hal tersebut menghasilkan variasi fungsi otot yang berbeda sesuai dengan perilaku dan pola hidup.
