Judul: Produksi Kromium Organik dari Fungi serta Peranannya bagi  Aktivitas Fermentasi Rumen
Abstrak: Organic chromium has higher availability than inorganic chromium sources. One of organic Cr h w n is Cr inoorporated to protein fungi. Info~tion about the best fungi or m i ~ s usmed in organic Cr production is still limited Tbus, this expabent was comlwted to study about organic chmium production using cliff- kind of fungi as its carrier, and and evaluate its effects on rumen' fermentation activity. The eqmhtnt consist of two steps. Orgatllc Cr production was c o n d d with a 4x3 factwid Compldy Randomized Design with 3 replication Four fungi used as courier in organic Cr production as first factor were S a c ~ ~ceerevsisia e, AspergilIta o w e , M izopk 0- a d" mgi tape". Second factor was level of chromium addition (500, 1000 dan 1500 mg/kg). Effects of organic chcmium supp1em4on on rumen fermentation activity measured with in vim technique, using Raudomhd Blmk Design with 13 merits and 3 replication. Addition of 1000 rn@g Cr gave the highest Cr incorpoxation to fungi protein (484 mgi'kg) and Cr hcqmmtion efficiency (21,06%). Best fungi used as carrier in organic Cr producbon was Rhizoptnrs oryzae which gave the highest Cr incorporation (488 m@g) and inmpmtion efficiency (24,Ph). Supplementation of I mflg organic Cr increased dry matter and organic matter digestibility in a h kid of fungi used as carrier. It tends to incmsad NF& and total VFA w o n . Partial VFA profile s h o d iacreased propionate p d u c t i g which d e a a d methane production atmd increased hexose convertion efficiency in d lmttmats.

Judul: Uji In Vitro Ransum yang In Vitro Experiment on Diets Supplemented by Anorganic and Organic Chromium
Abstrak: Chromium is a trace element which has been considered essential for humans and animals since 1959. However, the effect of chromium on rumen microorganisms has Dot been yet known. This experiment was conducted to detennine the effect of chromium on rumen microorganisms which was measured in vitro by supplementation to agroindustrial waste diets. Chromium supplementation was done in anorganic and organic forms (incorporation to Rhizopus sp. fungi). Two experimental designs were used in this experiment. A Completely Randomized Design with 10 treatments and 3 replications was used to measure dry matter and organic matter digestibilities (DMD and OMD). A Factorial Randomized Block Design 10 x 3 was used to measure total VFA and NH3 productions. Factor A was diet treatments and Factor B was fermentation period. Rumen fluid was used as block (replication). Treatments consisted of KI (Control diet), K2 (KI + Non mineral Rhizopus 'p. fungi), A (K2 + Anorganic Cr) with 4 levels of anorganic Cr (I, 2, 3 and 4 ppm) and 0 (KI + Organic Cr) with 4 levels of organic Cr (I, 2, 3 and 4 ppm). Incubation period was carried out for 1,3 and 5 hours. The addition of non mineral Rhizopus 'p. fungi (K2) decreased total VF A production from 110 to 59 mM (p<O,05) and increased NH, production from 9,97 to 13,28 mM (p<O,05). Supplementation of anorganic Cr decreased DMD and OMD compared to K2 (P<O,05), but organic Cr supplementation increased DMD and OMD. Optimum level of organic Cr supplementation was 1 ppm and 4 ppm for anorganic Cr. Ibis mean that supplementation of organic Cr four times more efficient than that of anorganic Cr. Key words: Chromium, in vitro, anorganic, organic

Judul: Identifikasi Kejadian Banjir Rob (Pasang) di DAS Sunter pada 9-13 Januari 2008.
Abstrak: Banjir Rob merupakan fenomena meluapnya air laut ke daratan, istilah tersebut pertama kali dikenal di daerah Semarang. Fenomena banjir Rob dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut air laut. Pasang surut sendiri dipengaruhi gravitasi bulan dan matahari, serta dipengaruhi pula posisi bulan dan matahari terhadap bumi. Banjir ini biasa terjadi pada saat pasang air laut yaitu bertepatan dengan kejadian bulan baru dan bulan purnama. Pada bulan Januari 2008, di wilayah utara Jakarta yang berbatasan dengan laut, fenomena banjir Rob (pasang) melanda kawasan tersebut. Fenomena ini mengakibatkan sejumlah kawasan di wilayah utara Jakarta terendam air laut, hal ini diperburuk dengan penurunan muka tanah Jakarta. Selain dilanda banjir pasang air laut, kawasan utara Jakarta sering dilanda banjir akibat luapan sungai-sungai yang bermuara di Jakarta, salah satu sungai yang menyumbang banjir Jakarta adalah sungai Sunter. Tutupan lahan di DAS Sunter yang sebagian besar berupa pemukiman makin meningkatkan limpasan permukaan ketika terjadi hujan. Tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 di perairan Teluk Jakarta sedang terjadi pasang air laut karena bertepatan dengan bulan baru yang mengakibatkan terjadinya banjir Rob di beberapa wilayah di Jakarta Utara, termasuk DAS Sunter. Berdasarkan pemetaan banjir Rob di DAS Sunter pada tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 diketahui bahwa daerah yang tergenang air laut yaitu Kalibaru dan Marunda dengan tinggi genangan 48-72 cm. Luas genangan maksimum terjadi pada tanggal 11 Januari 2008 yaitu sebesar 66.000 m2. Pada tanggal 9-13 Januari, DAS Sunter tidak ikut menyumbangkan limpasan permukaan yang dapat menyebabkan banjir karena nilai limpasan permukaan berkisar 0-3,03 mm. Sehingga kejadian banjir pada tanggal 9-13 Januari 2008 di DAS Sunter hanya berasal dari pasang air laut. Kata Kunci : Banjir Rob, Pasang-Surut, Limpasan Permukaan, DAS Sunter.
