Judul: Pest Quarantine Interception as a Basis of Plant Quarantine Early Warning System.
Abstrak: Interception is detection activity of quarantine pests during inspection or testing of imported consignment. The aim of interception is to identify quarantine pest which camed out by consignment. Interception is very important for the plant quarantine because. It can prevent distribution of quarantine pests in Indonesia. This research is aimed to study the system of pest interception in plant quarantine including the mechanism, human resources, existing facilities, infrastructures, and information management of the interception results. The data was collected from BBKP Soekamo-Hatta, Jakarta; BBKP Tanjung Priok, Jakarta; BBKP Belawan, Medan; BBKP Batam; BBKP Surabaya, and BKP Oenpasar. The methods were used this study were field observation for BBKP Soekarno-Hatta and BBKP Tanjung Priok as well as using questioner and interview for all stations (BPKP/BPK). The result of the study shows that there was no standardized of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for interception mechanism, sample treatment, and information distribution for early warning system. It is suggested that there should be one standardized SOP for the interception mechanism and early warning system to distribute the interception results to other quarantine stations. Based on volume and frequency of inspections, there were insufficient numbers of officers. It is suggested that increasing number of human resources with appropriate educational background are required. Most frequently intercepted quarantine pests in Tanjung Priok Plant Quarantine Station were fungi and weeds; and fungi and nematode in SoekarnoHatta Plant Quarantine Station. Quarantine pests category A 1 which intercepted during 2006 and 2007 at Plant Quarantine Stations of Tanjung Prick and Soekarno-Hatta were Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, Clavibacter michiganensis sub sp. michiganensis, Turnip Mosaic Virus (TuMV), Tobacco Streak Virus (TSV), Rice Stripe Tenuivirus (RSV). Strawberry latent Ring Spot Nepovirus (SlRSV) and Helminthosporium soIani.

Judul: Study Invasive Alien Insects and Plants Species in Indonesia.
Abstrak: Agricultural Quarantine Agency (AQA) is developing a duty to prevent the entry and spread of invasive alien species in Indonesia. This study was conducted to analyze the potency of alien species listed in quarantine pests, introduction intentionally through import, and introduction unintentionally through contamination of imports plant products to become invasive and quarantine pest, its revenue through import intentionally, and unintentionally income through contamination of plant products imports. This is done to make an inventory of invasive alien species, to know the character of invasive and existence in Indonesia. This study has focus on the species of insects and plants. Data were obtained from the inventory insects and plants listed as quarantine pests, sampling of imported agricultural and forestry products such as seed or non-seed to detect and identify contaminant species, the results AQA interception in 2010-2011, collection of interception at Agricultural Quarantine of Tanjung Priok Sea Port and Soekarno Hatta Air Port, as well as survey of plants to the nursery in Jabodetabek and Karawang. In addition, the data of imported living plants, seeds and non-seeds in 2010-2011 BARANTAN were also analyzed. All data were compared to the list of invasive species in Global Invasive Species Database (GISD). The dentified that were listed in GISD were classified as invasive species, and then were studied their bioecology, historical invasion, and impact. Species that are not included in the list of GISD performed invasive potential of information retrieval. The results showed that 12 species of insects and 3 species of weeds listed in the quarantine pests could be classified as invasive species. Five species as contaminants of imported products were invasive insect species and 37 were found plants. The invasive insects Agrilus sulcicollis and Megacyllene robiniae not exist in Indonesia and are not listed in the quarantine pests and GISD. Five of invasive plants which are not exist in Indonesia were Cirsium vulgare, Cirsium arvense (quarantine pest A1 category), Centaurea melitensis, Lepidium virginicum, and Melilotus albus. Introduction invasive alien plants were imported and the results of survey there are 18 invasive plants species of GISD. One of 18 plants species is known as quarantine pest A2 category (Asystasia gangetica subsp. micrantha). The invasive alien species that do not exist in Indonesia can be used as target material monitoring and revision is a list quarantine pest. Management of invasive species in the pre-border needs to be improved by making the target invasive species inspection, increased expertise of identification, improvement of the quality standards of imported products, and the acceptance of the application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures as well as.

Judul: Karakterisasi Optik dan Listrik Kalsium Titanat (CaTiO3) Hasil Sintesis Hidrotermal dan Annealing
Abstrak: Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan material kalsium titanat (CaTiO3) melalui metode hidrotermal dan annealing. Pembuatan material CaTiO3 dengan menggunakan prekursor kalsium oksida (CaO) dari cangkang telur itik dan bubuk material TiO2. Perlakuan diawali dengan pembuatan kalsium oksida (CaO) yang diperoleh melalui transformasi kalsium karbonat (CaCO3) hasil kalsinasi. Untuk proses pembuatan CaTiO3 dengan melarutkan bubuk CaO dan bubuk TiO2 ke dalam larutan amoniak (NH4OH) menggunakan metode hidrotermal (suhu 2000C), kemudian bubuk CaTiO3 dipelet dan annealing pada tiga variasi suhu yaitu 7000C, 8000C dan 9000C. Ketiga sampel tersebut di karakterisasi dan dilakukan pengujian secara fisik. Pola XRD menunjukkan bahwa sampel CaTiO3 terbentuk optimal pada annealing suhu 9000C dengan ukuran kristal sebesar 38,36 nm. Sedangkan dari uji SEM dapat ditentukan ukuran butir kristal dari ketiga sampel CaTiO3 secara berturut-turut : 0,23 μm, 0,22 μm dan 0,25 μm. Pada karakterisasi optik, serapan yang paling tinggi terdapat di daerah ultra violet (UV) yaitu pada panjang gelombang 360-380 nm, sebaliknya merefleksikan di daerah visible dan infrared. Dari uji optik juga dapat ditentukan band gap dari suatu sampel. Nilai band gap yang diperoleh dari sampel CaTiO3 yang diannealing 7000C, 8000C dan 9000C secara berturut-turut yaitu 3,43 eV; 3,36 eV dan 3,34 eV. Dengan adanya kenaikan suhu pada sampel maka band gap yang diperoleh semakin kecil. Dari karakteristik listrik dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada sampel annealing suhu 7000C bersifat nonohmik, sedangkan pada sampel annealing suhu 8000C dan 9000C bersifat ohmik dan merupakan bahan semikonduktor. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh nilai resistivitas dan konduktivitasnya yang masih berada pada range semikonduktor.
