Judul: Sistem monitoring thesis progress mahasiswa pascasarjana Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: Thesis progress merupakan serangkaian kegiatan yang harus dilalui untuk memperoleh gelar Magister pada Sekolah Pascasarjana Institut Pertanian Bogor (SPS-IPB). Kegiatan thesis progress dimulai dari sidang komisi I, kolokium, sidang komisi II, seminar, sidang komisi III, sidang tesis, dan SKL. Proses monitoring masih kurang efektif karena tidak dapat diakses oleh dosen dan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun sistem berbasis web untuk monitoring thesis progress dan indeks prestasi mahasiswa. Sistem dibangun dengan metode web engineering menggunakan framework CodeIgniter. Monitoring tesis terdiri atas monitoring progress per angkatan, rekapitulasi progress per program studi, progress per dosen pembimbing, dan rata-rata lama studi lima angkatan terakhir. Monitoring nilai dibagi menjadi monitoring nilai per mata kuliah, kelanjutan studi, rekap indeks prestasi kumulatif (IPK) empat angkatan terakhir, dan rata-rata IPK lima angkatan terakhir. Pembangunan sistem pada penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mempermudah pihak manajerial dalam melakkan proses monitoring untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan.

Judul: Sistem Monitoring Thesis Progress Mahasiswa Pascasarjana Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: Thesis progress is a series of activities that must be passed to obtain a Master's degree at the postgraduate school of Bogor Agricultural University (SPs-IPB). The activities started from the first commission meeting, colloquium, second commission meeting, seminar, third commission meeting, thesis, and graduation certificate. Monitoring process is currently not very effective because it can not be accessed by lecturers and students. This research aims to build a web-based system for monitoring thesis progress and student's grade point. The system is built with web engineering method using CodeIgniter framework. Thesis monitoring consists of monitoring progress per class, progress recapitulation per course of study, thesis progress per supervisor, and the average length of study from the last five classes. Grade monitoring are divided into grades per subject, the continuation of study, GPA recaps from the last four classes, and the GPA average from the last five classes. The system development in this research is expected to facilitate the users in the process of monitoring to improve the quality of education.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
