Judul: Preparation and Characterization of Ketoprofen Coated with Chitosan-Alginate Nanoparticle
Abstrak: Ketoprofen nanoparticle can be used to make a controlled delivery system of ketoprofen. Material composition and preparation method are influent to formation of ketoprofen nanoparticle. The purpose of this research were to produce ketoprofen nanoparticle with variation of chitosan, alginate, and tripolyphosphate (TPP) concentration and to determine the encapsulation efficiency of ketoprofen and the nanoparticle size. Ketoprofen nanoparticles were produced by ultrasonication and sentrifugation methods. Ketoprofen encapsulation efficiency was determined with ultraviolet spectrophotometry analysis and nanoparticle size with scanning electron microscope. The best formula was obtained with the composition of 1.50% (w/v) chitosan, 0.625% (w/v) alginat, and 4.0% (w/v) TPP. The encapsulation efficiency and nanoparticle size were 78.84 % and 26.81 %, respectively.

Abstrak: In this research, ketoprofen is used as a drug model in the preparation of ihitosan nanoparticles as a potential drug delivery system through ionic gelation wocess with tripolyphosphate (TPP). Suspension stability and characterization of 61itosan nanoparticles-coated ketoprofen prepared by ultrasonication, r+ &ntrifugation, and spray drying were analyzed. §: From the results of Particle Size Analysis, it was shown that the average ~rticle size and polidispersity index of chitosan nanoparticles prepared with oleic i id were 253.7 nm and 0.375 with drug entrapment efficiency of 73.30%, while ~o se prepared with poloxamer 188 were 242.94 nm and 0.302 with drug entrapment efficiency of 87.89%. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis ~owed that the nanoparticles shape, both prepared with oleic acid and poloxamer "lI£8, was intact spherical shape. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), & wever, indicated several differences between the spectra of chitosan and ~toprofen-loaded chitosan nanoparticles, for example, the peak at wavenumber ~41 cm-1 of ketoprofen-loaded chitosan nanoparticles showed P-OH group of ~P and a new peak at the wavenumber 1409 cm-1 indicated the presence of 'iectrostatic interaction between the carboxyl group of ketoprofen and the amino .group of chitosan. Chitosan nanoparticles suspension prepared with poloxamer 188 showed smaller increase in turbidity and viscosity than that prepared with oleic acid during 34 days of storage both at room temperature and 4°C, which indicates that chitosan nanoparticles prepared with poloxamer 188 is more stable. This stability characteristic is suggested from agglomeration occurred in both chitosan nanoparticles suspensions. Anti-inflammatory activity test of chitosan nanoparticles-coated ketoprofen was perfonned by obeserving the capability to reduce the swelling, or oedema, as a result of injection of 1 % karagenin on the foot pad of rats. The results of the test owed that chitosan nanoparticles-coated ketoprofen had anti-inflammatory ,S¢tivity comparable to the activity of the positive control (uncoated ketoprofen) in ~e same dosage dose, i.e. 43.92% vs 49.90%, after 5 hours of injection .

Judul: Ekologi merak hijau jawa (Pavo muticus muticus) Linnaeus 1758 pada beberapa tipe habitat di Ujung Timur Penyebarannya Jawa Timur, Indonesia
Abstrak: Merak hijau jawa merupakan salah satu jenis burung yang dilindungi.di Indonesia berdasarkan SK Mentan No 66/Kpts/Um/2/1973 dan Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia No 7 tahun 1999. Menurut ICBP (The International Council for Bird Preservation) merak hijau sebagai jenis burung yang tergolong terancam secara keseluruhan (globally threatened) baik populasi maupun habitatnya, sedangkan CITES mencantumkan merak hijau ke dalam Appendix II, merak hijau dari alam tidak bisa langsung diperdagangkan dan BirdLife International (2007) memasukkan golongan burung yang endangered. Tekanan terhadap populasi dan habitat merak hijau jawa sangat besar, sehingga kondisi populasinya menurun pada setiap penyebaran lokalnya, habitatnya terfragmentasi bahkan terisolasi. Tekanan terhadap populasi terutama karena perburuan liar. Namun demikian fakta menunjukan bahwa merak hijau jawa masih ada (exist), hal ini memberikan gambaran bahwa burung ini tentunya memiliki strategi ekologi tertentu untuk tetap bertahan hidup di alam pada berbagai tipe habitat.
