Judul: Analisis fertilitas dengan konsep penduduk stabil
Abstrak: PermasaIahan umum dalam kependudukan di negara berkembang adalah masih tingginya laju pertumbuhan penduduk karena angka fertilitasnya tinggi. Pendugaan angka fertilitas yang tepat diperlukan oleh pemerintah untuk membantu pereneanaan bidang kependudukan dan pengembangan ekonomi negara. Dan untuk menduga angka fertilitas yang tepat memerlukan vital statistic yaitu data atau informasi yang dimiliki suatu negara ten tang dinamika penduduknya.

Judul: Analysis of stable and quasi-stable population growth models
Abstrak: Model pertumbuhan penduduk merupakan hal yang penting dalam mengantisipasi persoalan ekonomi, social, dan politik dalam suatu bangsa yang diakibatkan oleh perubahan jumlah penduduk. Perubahan jumlah penduduk dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor fertilitas, mortalitas , dan migrasi. Karya ilmiah ini bertujuan untuk memodelkan pertumbuhan penduduk stabil dan kuasi-stabil lalu mengaplikasikannya dalam penduduk Indonesia tahun 2000, 2005 dan 2010. Hasil proyeksi akan dibandingkan dengan data sensus lalu akan diperoleh nilai galatnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model kuasi-stabil dengan adanya faktor perbaikan kematian lebih baik daripada model stabil. Berdasarkan model kuasi-stabil hasil proyeksi penduduk Indonesia tahun 2015 sebesar 255,236,560. Keywords : pertumbuhan penduduk, kuasi-stabil, fertilitas, mortalitas., Model of population growth is essential to anticipate problems in the economic, social and political in a nation that affected by the change of population. Changes in a population can be affected by factors of fertility, mortality, and migration. This paper aims to model stable and quasi-stable population growth and then applies these models to population of Indonesia for 2000, 2005 and 2010. The projection results is compared to the census data and then error value will be obtained. The results showed that the quasi-stable model with mortality improvement factor is better than the stable model. Based on the quasistable model, prediction of population of Indonesia in 2015 is 255,236,560. Keywords: population growth, quasi-stable, fertility, mortality

Judul: Heterologous Expression Of Endo-Β-Xylanase From Bacillus Pumilus Strain Bcrs-01 In Escherichia Coli.
Abstrak: Xylanases are glycoside hydrolase family 11 which depolymerise xylan in the plant cell wall, the most excessive form of hemicellulose. Endo-β-xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) are most important to breakdown β-1,4-glicoside bond of xylan to produce disaccaride xyloolygosaccaride (XOs) and xylose (monomer). Bovine rumen fluids have potential to obtain endo-β-xylanase produced of bacteria. The objectives of this study were to obtain xylanase producing bacteria and to express xynA gene encoding endo-β-xylanase from bacterium in Escherichia coli. Twenty nine isolate bacteria have been succesfully isolated from bovine rumen fluid in agar medium containing birchwood xylan. Isolate BCRS-01 bacterium was previously screened for the high production of xylanase. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, BCRS-01 showed high similarity (99%) to Bacillus pumilus (accession number NR043241). The crude xylanase had optimal activity at 55oC, pH 7.0. Furthermore, the crude xylanase exhibited broad pH stability from 4.0 to 10.0 and remained more than 60% and 40% of its activity after incubation at pH 4.0 until 10.0, respectively for 60 min. It also showed a stability at temperature 25-50oC since it retained 80% and 50% of its activity when incubated at 50oC or 30 and 60 min, respectively. The xylanase activity was strongly inhibited by Ca2+ and Cu2+ at concentration 10 mM, and as little as 1 mM for Mn2+. Therefore, this xylanase has potentially used as additive feeds in animal feed industry. The DNA sequence xynA gene encoded endo-β-xylanase was amplified and cloned into the expression vector pET-15by under the control of T7 promoter. The recombinant protein had succesfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS. A protein recombinant of approximately, 26.7 kDa was observed on the SDS-PAGE analysis. Crude extract of recombinant endo-β-xylanase demonstrated activity of enzyme at 56 U mL-1 using birchwood xylan as a substrate at 55oC for 10 min.
