Judul: α-Glucosidase inhibitory effect of flavonoid extracts from crown of god fruit.
Abstrak: Crown of God fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) empirically can treat diabetes mellitus, a disease with high concentration of blood glucose. The purpose of this study is to obtain flavonoid compound from the fruit that can reduce blood glucose through in vitro inhibition activity of α-glucosidase. The fruit were obtained from the Department of Forest Resources Conservation and Ecotourism, Faculty of Foresty, Bogor Agriculture University. Three maturity stages were used based on the fruit color, very red, greenish red, and reddish green and its enzyme activity compared to acarbose as positive control. The result indicated that flavonoid extracts with 1% w/v were highest (40.26%) in the very red fruit compared to the other two, but lower compared to acarbose (96.80%). Further extraction for flavonoid compound was performed on the fruit which has highest inhibition to obtain flavonol and flavon compound. Flavonol extract showed higher α-glucosidase inhibition, 41.97%, compared to flavon, 8.81%. Flavonol which has highest inhibition among flavonoid compound, was fractionated using column chromatography. Chloroform, acetic acid, and water used as eluent with ratio of 67.5:45:6. The result of chromatography gave 7 fractions and the most active fraction was fraction 2 with enzyme inhibition of 80.80%. Maximum absorption for fraction 2 was at 257 nm, which confirmed flavonoid compound. The result of infrared spectrum contained functional groups of -OH, C=O (keton), heteroaromatic ring, and benzene o-subsitution, also confirmed the presence of flavonoid compound.

Judul: Isolasi Fraksi Flavonoid sebagai Inhibitor Enzim α-Glukosidase dari Buah Mahkota Dewa
Abstrak: Mahkota dewa (Phaleria macrocarpa) empirically recognized as anti-diabetic. This claim requires further analysis, one of it by enzymatic inhibition assay using α-glucosidase enzyme. This intestinal enzyme produce in the jejunum catalyzed the breakdown of glycogen to glucose which increased blood sugar level therefore, elevating the risk of diabetes. Efforts to inhibit this enzyme could decrease postprandial blood sugar level. The aim of experiment was to determine the most active flavonoid subgroup which inhibited α-glucosidase enzyme of fruit etanol extract from mahkota dewa initiated with liquid partition and was continued with flash chromatography partition. Fruit pericarp is macerated using 3 different solvents (water, ethanol 96%, and n-hexane). Dry extract was analyzed for its water content, ash content, phytochemical content, and inhibition activity of α-glucosidase enzyme using modified Kawaniski method. The most active isolate is analyzed further using flash chromatography. Fruit pericarp water concentration was 9,42%. Phytochemical compound of the extracts were alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins. saponins, steroids, but do not contain triterpenoids. Amyl alcohol fraction has the highest inhibition to α-glucosidase of 40,04%, for the ethyl acetate fraction only 25,26%, and glucobay as positive control was 97,45%. Further analysis with flash chromatography using solvent of the best resolution was chlorofom:methanol with ratio of 9:1 which showed that amyl alcohol fraction contain flavonoid from several classes of isoflavon, flavon, flavonol, and flavanon. This result showed that the flash chromatography partition has not succeeded to separate the subgroup of flavonoid which was active to inhibit α-glucosidase enzyme.

Judul: Rekonstruksi Persamaan Pauli dan Representasi Kuantum Entanglement Berdasarkan Interpretasi Kuantum Budiyono-Rohrlich.
Abstrak: Mekanika kuantum merupakan teori fundamental yang telah memberikan kontribusi besar dalam perkembangan sains dan teknologi hingga saat ini. Namun masih banyak masalah fundamental terkait realita fisis postulat-postulat dan perumusan mekanika kuantum yang menimbulkan pertanyaan. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan banyak perdebatan dan interpretasi yang berbeda mengenai fundamental teori mekanika kuantum. Salah satu interpretasi mekanika kuantum yang menggunakan dasar mekanika statistik klasik adalah interpretasi Budiyono-Rohrlich (BR). Interpretasi kuantum BR merupakan interpretasi mekanika statistik klasik yang menggunakan aksioma ontic extension dan epistemic restriction serta memuat tiga teorema untuk menjelaskan kuantum entanglement, prinsip ketidakpastian Heisenberg dan merekonstruksi persamaan Schrodinger. Namun, interpretasi kuantum BR belum melibatkan spin dalam perumusannya. Persamaan Schrodinger yang melibatkan interaksi elektromagnetik dan keadaan spin disebut sebagai persamaan Schrodinger-Pauli atau persamaan Pauli. Asumsi pemisahan distribusi probabilitas untuk keadaan spin-up dan spin-down dapat digunakan untuk merekonstruksi persamaan Pauli. Proses formulasi persamaan menggunakan aksioma ontic extension dan epistemic restriction dalam interpretasi kuantum BR serta menggunakan prinsip konservasi, yaitu konservasi energi rata-rata dan kontinuitas probabilitas. Formulasi ini juga dapat digunakan untuk mendapatkan persamaan dinamika dan representasi kuantum entanglement dua partikel, namun menggunakan asumsi pemisahan distribusi probabilitas yang berbeda, yaitu untuk masing-masing keadaan yang mungkin dari dua partikel tersebut. Dalam formulasi ini, spin sebagai intrinsik momentum sudut tidak dapat dinyatakan dalam epistemic restriction, melainkan menggunakan definisi operator.
