Judul: Dynamic Model of Motor Vehicle Emissions Control in Makassar
Abstrak: Kota Makassar merupakan kota metropolitan yang terus berkembang. Seiring dengan perkembangan tersebut jumlah penduduk Kota Makassar pun akan terus bertambah dan akan mempengaruhi potensi dalam menghasilkan polusi udara melalui sumber antropogenik seperti emisi dari kendaraan bermotor. Konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan (sustainable development) menghendaki agar setiap usaha pembangunan yang dilakukan tetap memelihara kondisi lingkungan. Salah satu aspek lingkungan adalah udara, dimana di dalamnya terkandung sejumlah oksigen yang merupakan komponen esensial bagi kehidupan baik manusia maupun makhluk hidup lainnya. Udara juga merupakan sumber daya alam milik bersama yang besar pengaruhnya pada ekosistem global khususnya yang terkait dengan masalah pencemaran udara., Makassar as a metropolitan has currently is facing the problem of rapid growth of the number of vehicle, which caused traffic jam and decrease of air quality as the result of vehicle emissions. The analysis of emission load, ambient concentration level, ambient air pollution index, estimates of social and economic impacts of pollution and scenario implementation are needed as the main goal of the research to determine the appropriate strategy of air pollution control in Makassar. The model developed in this research is consist of six steps of analysis: (1) needs analysis, (2) formulation of the problem, (3) identification of the system, (4) modeling system, (4) validation, and (6) scenario implementation. The data was collected by using a survey method such as field observations and measurements, in-depth interviews and documentation. The model simulations showed that in the early years of simulation (2011), ambient concentration value of CO, NO2, SO2 dan PM10 are still below the air quality standard. Whereas, at the end of the simulation (2026), pollutants which mostly has reached the air quality standard. The standard index of air pollutans of the entire parameters are good to medium category. The total number of cases of health problems based on dose-response analysis in 2011 to 2026 has reached 23 million cases with the economic value up to 1.5 trillion Rupiah. Application of the model scenarios such as busway, fuel gas, and combined scenarios can reduce ambient concentration level about 7.77 to 156.49 percent.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
