Judul: Penentuan Premi Asuransi Livestock Gross Margin untuk Sapi Pedaging dengan Metode Simulasi Monte Carlo
Abstrak: Asuransi Livestock Gross Margin Cattle (LGM-Cattle) adalah asuransi yang melindungi peternak sapi saat menjual sapi yang telah digemukkan melalui yearling atau calf finishing dengan mengurangi risiko kerugian gross margin. Gross margin adalah selisih harga penjualan ternak dewasa dengan biaya pakan dan harga sapi anakan. Penentuan premi asuransi LGM-Cattle pada tahun 2014 memerlukan data gross margin guarantee tahun 2014 dan simulated gross margin tahun 2014 yang dihasilkan dari metode simulasi Monte Carlo dengan model parametrik dari data gross margin tahun 2000-2013. Estimasi kerugian berdasarkan selisih positif gross margin guarantee dan simulated gross margin digunakan untuk menentukan premi. Dari hasil perhitungan, tingkat premi calf finishing lebih tinggi daripada yearling finishing., Livestock Gross Margin Cattle (LGM-Cattle) insurance is a policy that protects cattle farmers when selling fattened cattle through yearling or calf finishing, reducing the risk of gross margin losses. Gross margin is the difference between the selling price of adult cattle, the costs of feed, and the price of young cattle. Determining LGM-Cattle insurance premiums in 2014 requires gross margin guarantee data from 2014 and simulated gross margin data from 2014 generated through the Monte Carlo simulation method with parametric models based on gross margin data from 2000 to 2013. Loss estimates based on the positive difference between the gross margin guarantee and simulated gross margin were used to determine the premium. The calculations showed that the premium rate for calf finishing was higher than yearling finishing.

Judul: Estimasi Bobot hidup Berdasarkan Ukuran Linier Tubuh pada  Pedet Lepas Sapih Sapi Simmental dan Limousine
Abstrak: Estimasi bobot hidup pada seekor sapi dapat memudahkan dalam mengetahui bobot aktualnya. Salah satu cara mengestimasinya dengan menggunakan ukuran linier tubuh sapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menduga bobot hidup berdasarkan ukuran linier tubuh pedet lepas sapih Simmental dan Limousine. Penelitian menggunakan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari Balai Pembibitan Ternak Unggul dan Hijauan Pakan Ternak Padang Mengatas. Total sebanyak 128 ekor Sapi Simmental dan Limousine dengan kisaran umur 6-18 bulan, dengan perbandingan 26 ekor jantan Simmental, 50 ekor betina Simmental, 19 ekor jantan Limousine, dan 33 ekor betina Limousine digunakan pada penelitian ini. Metode analisis data dengan regresi linier berganda. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pendugaan bobot hidup dengan menggunakan ukuran linier tubuh pada sapi Simmental dan Limousine pada fase pedet lepas sapih menghasilkan persamaan Y = -401,98 + 0,96(PB) + 2,71(LD) + 1,15(TP) dengan nilai koefisien determinasi (R2) sebesar 90,91% dan nilai standar error 13,07kg. Secara keseluruhan hasil pendugaan tidak berbeda nyata dengan bobot aktualnya., Live weight estimation in a cow can make it easier to know the actual weight. One way of estimating it is by using the linear size of the cow's body. The aim of this study was to estimate live weight based on body linear measurements of Simmental and Limousine weaning calves. The study used secondary data obtained from the Center for Superior Cattle Breeding and Forage Animal Feed Padang Atas. A total of 128 Simmental and Limousine cattle with an age range of 6-18 months, with a comparison of 26 Simmental males, 50 Simmental females, 19 Limousine males, and 33 Limousine females were used in this study. Method of data analysis with multiple linear regression. This study showed that the estimation of live weight using linear body measurements in Simmental and Limousine cattle in the weaning calf phase resulted in the equation Y = -401.98 + 0.96(PB) + 2.71(LD) + 1.15(TP). Result equation with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 90.91% and a standard error of 13.07kg. Overall, the estimation results are not significantly different from the actual weights.

Judul: Sintesis dan Pencirian Kompleks Fe(III)-Kuersetin
Abstrak: Quercetin belongs to flavonols which is able to chelate metal ions. Quercetin may chelate metal ions at 3’,4’-catechol, 3- or 5-hydroxycromone sites. In this study, quercetin was complexed with Fe(III). The complex with Fe(III) ions from FeCl3·6H2O was more stable than the complex derived from Fe(NO3)3·9H2O. The quercetin was yellow in color and showed maximum wavelengths (λ􀭫􀭟􀭶) at 250 and 370 nm. The Fe(III)-quercetin complex from Fe(NO3)3·9H2O was yellowish green with 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 at 280 and 420 nm, whereas that from FeCl3·6H2O was dark green with 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 at 280 and 430 nm. The 􀟣􀭫􀭟􀭶 shift indicated that the complex was formed at 3-hydroxychromone site. The Fe(III)- quercetin complex was formed with 1:1 metal-ligand mole ratio based on atomic absorption spectrophotometry analysis and the X-ray diffractogram showed that the crystallinity of the complex was 37%.
