Abstrak: Pembangunan Transmigrasi pada hakekatnya merupakan bagian integral dari pembangunan nasional dan daerah sebagai upaya untuk mempercepat pembangunan di daerah tertinggal dan pemerataan penduduk. Hal ini tertuang dalam Undang-undang nomor 15 tahun 1997 tentang Ketransmigrasian dan Peraturan Pemerintah nomor 2 tahun 1999 tentang Penyelenggaraan Transmigrasi, yang menyebutkan bahwa tujuan pembangunan transmigrasi adalah (a) meningkatkan kesejahteraan transmigran dan masyarakat sekitarnya, (b) peningkatan dan pemerataan pembangunan daerah, dan (c) memperkukuh persatuan dan kesatuan bangsa. Sasaran penyelenggaraan transmigrasi adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan produktivitas masyarakat transmigrasi, membangun kemandirian dan mewujudkan integritas di pemukiman transmigrasi sehingga ekonomi dan sosial budaya mampu tumbuh dan berkembang secara berkelanjutan. Untuk mewujudkan tujuan pembangunan transmigrasi, Departemen Tenaga Kerja dan Transmigrasi pada tahun 2006 mengembangkan Kota Terpadu Mandiri (KTM) di kawasan-kawasan transmigrasi.

Abstrak: Transmigration development has been done to increase the capability and productivity of transmigration community, develop self-reliance, and perform the integrity in transmigration settlement, so economically and socio-culturally could arise and grow sustainably. One of the effort to reach that goal is by developing KTM in Transmigration Zone. The objectives of this research are to identify development potency of premier commodities, activity service center, institution characteristics, and finally give the direction of KTM development strategy. Analysis results showed that most parts of transmigration zone are suitable for agricultural commodities. Maize and paddy as food crops commodities are potential to be developed in the Eastern part of Mesuji Transmigration Zone while estate commodities like rubber and oil-palm are potential in the Western part. Activity service center could be developed in Tanjung Mas Makmur village, since it has the highest hierarchy and supported by the more relatively sustain agribusiness institution form.

Judul: Durability of Specific Immunoglobulin (Ig) Y Againts Influenza and Covid-19 in Sunscreen
Abstrak: The benefit of specific immunoglobulin Y (Ig Y) as an active ingredient in personal care products such as sunscreen has not been properly studied. Our study aims to evaluate the reliability of specific IgY against influenza and the COVID-19 virus in a sample sunscreen product. Specific IgY influenza and COVID-19 viruses were inserted in the sample sunscreen at two concentrations of 0.1% and 0.25%. Three treatments were observed: control (C) sunscreen without IgY, treatment 1 (T1) sunscreen with 0.1% IgY, and treatment 2 (T2) sunscreen with 0.25% IgY. Organoleptic observations were carried out to monitor changes in aroma, color, and texture, and sunscreen sampling was done every week for 6 weeks. The durability of IgY was evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a neutralization assay. Organoleptic observation from weeks 1 to 6 showed consistency in its aroma, color, and texture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and neutralization assay (NA) results of the T1 and T2 groups showed negative results except for sample T1 at week 5, which showed a positive result in the Influenza A ELISA. Based on the results, it seems that IgY concentrations of 0.1% or 0.25% were not optimal. However, this negative result might be due to low concentration of the IgY and the presence of beeswax, which inhibits IgY and causes it to dissolve in distilled water, thus preventing it from being detected in the assay.
