Judul: Pengetahuan, Sikap, Dan Praktik Pedagang Unggas Di Pasar Jatinegara Terhadap Pengendalian Avian Influenza
Abstrak: Avian influenza atau flu burung adalah penyakit menular dari hewan ke manusia atau disebut zoonosis yang disebabkan oleh virus avian influenza. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik dan menguji hubungan karakteristik, pengetahuan, dan sikap terhadap praktik pedagang unggas. Penelitian ini dirancang menggunakan kajian lapang lintas seksional (cross-sectional study). Data diperoleh dari wawancara kepada 30 responden menggunakan kuesioner yang disusun secara terstruktur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan pedagang unggas umumnya berada pada tingkat buruk dan sedang, sikap pedagang unggas berada pada tingkat sedang, dan praktik pedagang unggas berada pada tingkat buruk dan sedang. Faktor yang memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan praktik pengendalian avian influenza adalah akses informasi melalui media elektronik dan pengetahuan mengenai pengendalian avian influenza.

Judul: Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Praktik Biosekuriti Pedagang pada Pasar Burung di Wilayah DKI Jakarta Terkait Avian Influenza
Abstrak: The aim of this study were to analyze characteristics, knowledge, attitude and practice of bird vendors and to determine the risk factors toward biosecurity implementation related to avian influenza at bird markets. Data were collected from the four biggest bird markets in DKI Jakarta. Data were analysed to determine associations among these variables using path analysis and logistic regression analysis. In this study, the path analysis revealed that age, education, training, knowledge and attitude correlate directly with practice (p<0,05). On the other hand, logistic regression analysis revealed that low education compare to high education has odds ratio (OR) = 5.2 (1.5 – 17.8), lack of knowledge compare to good knowledge had OR = 34.3 (3.2 – 374.1), adequate knowledge compare to good knowledge had OR = 10.7 (1.2 – 95.1) and negative attitude compare to positive attitude had OR = 34.2 (2.9 – 406.1). In conclusions that the bird vendor’s characteristics, knowledge and attitude correlate significantly with practice of biosecurity and the bird vendor’s education, knowledge and attitude were the risk factors for the level of biosecurity related to avian influenza.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
