Judul: Rancangan Kemasan Karton Bergelombang dengan Bahan Pengisi untuk Buah Belimbing (Averrhoa carambola L.)
Abstrak: Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) has very thin skin so that fruit need to get better handling in the distribution process. Based on the idea, this research conducted by using corrugated fiberboard packaging with two types of filler materials like foam net and paper wrap. Final design of packaging consist of two main parts namely outer packaging with the dimension (36 x 36 x 14) cm and inner packaging with the dimension (17 x 17 x 13) cm. The number of pieces in one package were 16 fruits. Type of fiberboard used for packaging is flute C for outer packaging and flute B for inner packaging with the addition 1% of ventilation area of the wall packaging. Based on the result of mechanical damage level, the damage level of star fruit which was packed with foam net was smaller than a fruit was packed with paper wrap. Nevertheless paper wrap material filler was able to protect the fruit during storage at temperature of 10 0C and give better conditions until the end of storage than foam net so the paper wrap material filler was suitable to be used for distributing star fruit

Judul: Pengaruh Perlakuan Pengemasan Belimbing (Averrhoa carambola L) dengan Penggunaan Bahan Pengisi terhadap Mutu Fisik Belimbing Selama Transportasi
Abstrak: Packaging starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L) becomes a critical factor in maintaining the physical quality of fruit due to vibration during transportation. The objective of this research was to asses the endurance of physical quality parameters of its fruit, such as mechanical damage, hardness, weight losses, and total solid soluble. The first treatment is used sliced filler paper, wood shavings, and sawdust for the filler material in the packs. The second treatment is arranged the starfruit position in packaging by using 2 different methods, namely, vertical and horizontal methods. The result has shown the starfruit which arranged horizontally and packaged with the sliced filler paper is the suitable treatment for packaging. After transportation simulation, the treatment showed 2% of mechanical damage, 0.555 Kgf of hardness and 7% obrix of total solid soluble. At the 8th day, showed 86% of mechanical damage, 0.426 Kgf of hardness, 3.76% of weight lose and 8.3% obrix of total solid soluble. The horizontal position of packaging can reduce the vibration better than the vertical one.

Judul: Studi Seroprevalensi Newcastle Disease pada Unggas Peliharaan Masyarakat di Kecamatan Lore Utara Kabupaten Poso.
Abstrak: This research aims to determine the seroprevalence of Newcastle Disease (ND) on native birds in North Lore Poso District. The research used serum samples from unvaccinated native birds. A total of 45 samples; 22 from domestic chicken and 23 from Muscovy ducks; were taken from Sedoa, Wuasa, and Napu village. Newcastle Disease was determined by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. The seroprevalence of ND in domestic chicken and muscovy ducks were 40.9% and 69.56%, respectively. It was equal with 9 domestic chicken and 13 muscovy ducks that were positive antibody ND. Based on the results, we can conclude that ND virus was present on those three village in North Lore. The area was determined as ND-endemic.
