Judul: Analisis Bahaya Kerusakan Pohon di Jalur Hijau Jalan Kota Magelang
Abstrak: The existence of trees at the landscape has an important role to create the comfort for users. However, the damaged trees may danger especially in high activity areas, as well as at the roadside greenbelt. This is because trees and the broken branches may fallen down which can lead to traffic accidents and endanger the safety of road users. This study aims to determine the physical condition of the tree, the tree damage and the level of tree risk. This research was carried out on the roadside greenbelt. In this case, the roads have been surveyed at five streets, i.e. Jendral Sudirman Street, Ikhlas Street, Tidar Street, Tentara Pelajar Street, and Pemuda Street in Magelang City. Data collection was conducted in order to find name of species, number of tree, tree dimensions, and type of damage. The research used the method of ISA Tree Risk Assessment. The result shows that there were 705 trees observed in five roadside greenbelt with 945 cases of damage. Based on the risk classification as much as 0,28% of trees is identified as a very high risk, 10,78% high risk, 25,11% medium risk, and 63,83% low risk. Based on those analysis, the recommendation of tree maintenance is development of the synchronization of data, preparation of maintenance strategies and maintenance techniques.

Abstrak: The presence of trees at the roadside greenbelt has the greatest influence among other vegetation types in improving the environmental quality. Therefore, the physical condition of tree became things to note because can result of a broken tree branches or twigs or fall of a tree which can lead to traffic accidents that would endanger the safety of road users. This study aims to analyze trees phsycal force to find the resistance of a broken tree branches or twigs or fall of a tree. In this case, the roads have been surveyed including H. Agus Salim Street, Teuku Umar Street, Diponegoro Street, Imam Bonjol Street, Sutan Syahrir Street, dan Moh. Yamin Street in Central Jakarta. The collected data are species and number of tree, type of damaged, place of damaged, condition of damaged, and incident of fallen tree in location. The data were analyzed with plant physiognomy approach. There are 1.646 trees were observed in six roadside greenbelt and 1.413 of them were damaged. Based on value of index tree damage classification 650 including healthly trees, 847 low damaged trees, 167 medium damaged trees, and 12 high damaged trees. Handling of each trees adjusted base on type and severity of damaged based on eradication and protection principles.

Judul: Synthesis of Apatite - Chitosan Composite Using Duck Eggshell and Chitosan with Temperature and pH Control
Abstrak: Composite of apatite-chitosan was prepared by using chitosan as polymer matrix. Calcium phosphate was prepared from CaO and (NH4)2HPO4, which the ratio Ca : P had to be 1.67. Chitosan is produced by deacetilase from biopolymer chitin. Duck eggshell (95% CaCO3) as starting material was converted to be calcium oxide (CaO) through calcinations with temperature 1000oC for 5 hours. In-situ and ex-situ methods were prepared from apatite and chitosan (dissolved with acetate acid 2%). Calcium phosphate prepared for bone implantation, but it is too fragile and brittle to be implant into the body. So addition of chitosan can decrease crystalinity and increase mechanic characteristic (tougher). Composite apatite-chitosan was resulted by fast precipitation. Fast precipitation was held in a breaker glass with nitrogen atmosphere, under controlled temperature at 37oC and pH 7, in order to increase amount of hydroxyapatite. Precipitation with CaO which was dropped by (NH4)2HPO4. Hydroxyapatite and chitosan were appearing at samples with in-situ and ex-situ methods which indicating by peak matching of XRD (closed lattice parameter, crystal size), overlapping at FTIR spectra and supporting by SEM picture (homogenous and agglomerated particle). However, it still needs further research to examine biocompatibility osteoconductive degree of sample by in-vivo and in-vitro test.
