Judul: Mempelajari Metode Reduksi Kadar Histamin dalam pembuatan Pindang Tongkol
Abstrak: Pemindangan merupakan salah satu bentuk olahan ikan secara tradisional yang cukup populer di Indonesia. Hal ini disebabkan karena ikan pindang mempunyai citarasa yang spesifik sehingga dapat diterima oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Masalah yang dihadapi dalam pembuatan ikan pindang adalah terbentuknya suatu senyawa yang dapat menyebabkan keracunan yaitu biogenik amin akibat sanitasi yang buruk selama pengolahan maupun penyimpanan.

Judul: Isolasi, identifikasi dan evaluasi karakteristik bakteri pembentukan histamin dari pindang ikan tongkol
Abstrak: Pindang merupakan salah satu produk tradisional Indonesia yang sampai saat ini mutu dan keamanannya masih kurang diperhatikan. Salah satu bahaya yang dapat terjadi akibat penanganan dan higienis yang kurang baik selama proses produksi, pengemasan, distribusi, pemasaran atau penyimpanan ikan pindang adalah terjadinya kontaminasi oleh bakteri-bakteri pembentuk histamin, karena umumnya selain membentuk senyawa racun, bakteri-bakteri ini bersifat patogen. Salah satu cara untuk mencegah terjadinya kontaminasi oleh bakteri-bakteri pembentuk histamin adalah mengetahui jenis-jenis dan sifat-sifat bakteri ini sehingga dapat diu- sahakan alternatif untuk perbaikan proses. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan isolasi, identifikasi dan evaluasi karakteristik bakteri pembentuk histamin dari pindang ikan tongkol. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam tiga tahap. Tahap per- tama adalah pengamatan terhadap perubahan kualitas pindang ikan tongkol selama penyimpananan (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 hari) yaitu dengan mengamati perubahan kandungan total mikroba, bakteri pembentuk histamin, nilai TVN dari nilai pH. Tahap kedua adalah isolasi dan identifikasi bakteri pembentuk histamin dan tahap ketiga adalah mengamati sifat-sifat pertumbuhan bakteri terhadap suhu, pH dan konsentrasi NaCl. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa selama penyim panan terjadi penurunan mutu dari pindang ikan tongkol, yaitu dengan meningkatnya total mikroba, bakteri pembentuk histamin, nilai pll dan nilai TVN. Pada hari keempat pindang sudah tampak berlendir dan berkapang…dst

Judul: The Effects of Variance of Interest rate to Variance of Annuity Future Values
Abstrak: Time value of money is a concept that refers to the difference of the value of money due to time difference. The value of money for present time would not be the same as the value of money in the future. The value of money for present time is called as Present Value (PV) of the money and the value of money for future time is called Future Value (FV) of the money. Determination the value of money, for present and future time, depends on the time and rate of return. The value of money is determined by several factors such as inflation, fluctuation of interest rates, and government policy in securities and taxation. Due to fluctuation of the value of money we need a FV formulation, it is useful for knowing whether an investment can be profitable or not, and this information is useful also in budget analysis. Annuity is defined as a series of payments made for a specific period. The payment, fixed or varied, can be made at the beginning or at the end of the period. Annuity paid at the beginning of the period is called annuity-due and annuity paid at the end of the period is called immediate annuity-certain. The accumulated value of the annuity after few years later is called as a final value or a future value. Burnecki et al. (2003) have discussed about the FV of a fixed-rate annuity in which payments are made according to the arithmetic or geometric series. They have also examined FV for annuities in which payments are made according to arithmetic or geometric series with random rates of interest. This paper examines FV for annuity-due in which payments are made according to arithmetic or geometric series with interest rates as a random variable, which is normal distribution ,  . Future value formula is expressed in recursive form. FV for annuity-due which payments are made according to the arithmetic or geometric series with random rates of interest is calculated by theoretical way and simulation way. The random rates of interest is denoted as k k i  i  , where k i an independent random variable; i is a constant and k  is a random variable which has normal distribution ,  . By using the determined parameters, a sequence of random rates of interest are generated for theoretical calculation. Meanwhile for the simulation, the random rates of interest is generated 1000 times for the simulation. The generated data give mean value, variance, and standard deviation. Moreover, error of mean value, variance, and standard deviation from the theoretical and simulation results are calculated. Error calculation uses Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error (SMAPE). The smaller the value of SMAPE is the more accurate the simulation. The interest rate variances are varied from 0.000036 to 0.0001 to study the relationship between variance of rates of interest and variance of future value. The theoretical and simulation results show that when the variance of random rates of interest increases, then the variance of FV increases linearly. FV of the annuity-due in
