Judul: Teknik Memanen Makrokonidia dari Dermatofita Microsporum gypseum dan Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Abstrak: Dermatofitosis adalah penyakit kulit yang disebabkan oleh kapang Dermatofita. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan teknik yang sesuai untuk memanen makrokonidia dari kapang dan waktu fase eksponensial Microsporum gypseum dan Tricophyton mentagrophytes. Media 1 dan 2 digunakan untuk pembiakan isolat M. gypseum dan T. mentagrophytes. Teknik penggoresan pada permukaan kolonidan penggoyangan tabung dengan vortex digunakan untuk memanen makrokonidia. Makrokonidia dipanen pada hari ke 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, dan 20. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan jumlah rata-rata makrokonidia kapang yang dipanen dengan penggoresan pada permukaan koloni lebih tinggi daripada penggoyangan tabung menggunakan vortex selama masa pertumbuhan hingga hari ke-20. Hasil yang didapatkan juga menunjukkan fase eksponensial telah dimulai pada hari ke-14.

Judul: Aktivitas Beberapa Antimikotik terhadap Microsporum gypseum sebagai Penyebab Dermatofitosis pada Kuda
Abstrak: Dermatophytosis is a superficial cutaneous fungal infection that attacks the keratin layer of the skin caused by a group of fungi known as dermatophytes. Microsporum gypseum is a geophilic dermatophyte that suspected to cause this infection in horses. In this research, isolation and identification of sample from the horse that was suspected to be infected with dermatophytosis caused by M.gypseum was done. As an effort to treat dermatophytosis, antimycotics are widely used. The aim of this study is to be able to diagnose accurately the cause of dermatophytosis in horses and the agent that causes it.The procedure of this research included rapid isolation and identification, using KOH 10%, isolation onto DSA media and identification using Riddle’s slide culture method. The antimycotic test was done using disk diffusion assay method and the antimycotics used in the test were ketoconazole, amphotericine, voriconazole, fluconazole, griseofulvin, and miconazole, producing inhibition zones with diameters 0 mm, 0 mm, 8.5 mm, 0 mm, 17.25 mm, and 12.25 mm respectively at the end of the test. This study revealed that griseofulvin has the best antimycotic activity against M.gypseum and can be used as the drug of choice for the treatment of dermatophytosis caused by the fungi.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
