Judul: Study of Landscape Ecodesign in Urban Settlement
Abstrak: Settlement is important because it became one of basic human needs. Settlement need in Indonesia has reached 13,2 million units. On the other hand, settlement is the cause of 20% building emissions, 40% of greenhouse gases producer, caused 40% of national energy consumption and 12% water consumption. Harmony between building and environment become important which encouraging fossils and energy saving. These condition become basis of ecological movement recently. Settlement is also experiencing ecological movement through fulfillment in renewable way, so settlement developed in ecological concept. The examined issues in this study were whether settlement in ecological concept has applied it and became ecologically, critical component and standard criteria also need to be examined. Therefore, this study has two objectives; (1) Identifying and testing critical components of landscape ecodesign in urban settlement through expert judgement, (2) determinating the ideal standard criteria of landscape ecodesign in urban settlement, and applicate standard criteria by assessing two test-case settlement. This study showed, the alternative priorities of landscape ecodesign in urban settlement sequentially was public participation (38,4%), site design (35,9%), and institutional (25,7%). Public participation was major driver to embody ecodesign concept. Besides, critical component of landscape ecodesign in urban settlement sequentially were water (29,6%), land use (26,7%), human behavior (14,7%), institution (10,8%), physical settlement (10,0%), and technology (8,2%). This preference results were in good consistency level, with 3% inconsistency ratio of hierarchy. Standard criteria consists of six components, sixteen subcomponents, and parameters were set according related literature. Ecodesign concept at two test-case settlement were in moderate level (score of 2,50 to 4,98). These results indicate both of regions were still not fully implemented ecodesign and need to improve some parameters. The parameters are availability of local institution, accessibility to public facilities, use of natural force, use of local softmaterial, and eco-properties certification.

Judul: Study on energy-save home and garden design conception
Abstrak: The primary factor of high consuming of energy in housing sector is caused by inappropriateness compatibility between architectural and landscape design. Housing design which has been developed and adopted by people now is more oriented towards building aspect and in current trends of design, so that leaving the environment and landscape aspect behind. The environment and landscape aspects have profound influence as the results of this study. Using of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, result of study shows that the influence of landscape (site design) on energy saving in housing landscape unit is very significant (67%) compared to building design (33%). In this case, the plant is a major component that contribute to energy-save design (48.3%). The criteria for each component are discussed specifically in this paper, both physically and visually.

Judul: Peranan virus rota pada diare anak sapi
Abstrak: Virus rota sebagai salah satu agent penyebab diare pada anak sapi telah dapat dipastikan setelah Mebus et al. (1969) di USA berhasil mengisolasinya dari filtrat feses anak sapi (McNulty, 1976). Pada penelitian selanjutnya McNulty (1978) melaporkan bahwa virus rota selain menyerang anak sapi juga babi, domba, kambing, manusia, unggas, kelinci, tikus, anjing, kucing, rusa dan kuda. Durham dan Johnson (1982) mengatakan bahwa virus rota berbentuk bulat dan mengandung RNA serabut ganda yang dikelilingi atau diselaputi oleh kapsid ganda. Dari bentuk tersebut menyebabkan virus rota terlihat menyerupai roda dan dari sinilah nama rota diberikan (rota = roda). Selanjutnya dikatakan bahwa pada kapsid bagian dalam terdapat antigen yang spesifik terhadap group pada semua virus rota tanpa memandang dari hewan apa virus itu berasal. Sebaliknya kapsid bagian luar mengandung antigen yang spesifik terhadap spesies menurut hewan asal virus tersebut dan antigen inilah yang mempunyai aktifitas hemaglutinasi. Struktur virus rota ada dua macam, pertama yang mempunyai kapsid perlapis tunggal tanpa mampu mengaglutinasikan sel darah merah, kedua virus rota dengan kapsid berlapis ganda dengan kemampuan mengaglutinasikan sel darah merah.
