Judul: Aktivitas Harian, Prestasi Akademik, dan Indeks Kreativitas Mahasiswa Tingkat Dua di Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: Aktivitas harian telah banyak dilaporkan mempengaruhi prestasi akademik seseorang. Prestasi akademik didasarkan pada nilai individu untuk setiap mahasiswa di kelas dan nilai ujian standar. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa tingkat pertama yang mengikuti aktivitas harian berupa kegiatan ekstrakurikuler mendapatkan pengaruh positif terhadap akademiknya namun belum ada penelitian lebih lanjut pada mahasiswa tingkat dua. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan antara aktivitas harian (sarapan dan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler), prestasi akademik (Grade Point Average; IPK), dan indeks kreativitas (dengan menggunakan Adjective Check List; ACL) pada mahasiswa tingkat dua IPB. Kami menggunakan lembar persetujuan, informasi pribadi, dan kuesioner untuk mengumpulkan data (aktivitas harian, IPK, dan ACL). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan hubungan signifikan antara aktivitas harian dengan IPK, IPK dan kegiatan ekstrakurikuler, serta kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dan ACL, namun, indeks kreativitas (ACL) hanya 33,18% yang mengindikasikan tidak ada korelasi antara ACL dan IPK.

Judul: Daily Activity and Student Achievement in Bogor Agricultural University
Abstrak: Daily activity may provide the opportunity for the students of college to get good academic achievement. Achievement in college of a large group of high aptitude students was predicted from an assessment of their interests, goals, activities, self-conceptions. It is clear that creativity, in its many forms, is important in campuses and communities. The aim of this research are to determine the daily activity and student achievement of Bogor Agricultural University students. In determining of creativity, subjects were measured with Adjective Check List. Present result show that students which have extracurricular activity show better performance to good academic achievement. Statistical analysis indicates that there is significant positive correlation between GPA and extracurricular (p=0.0265). Students who had many times of meals have better GPA than those who do not have many times of meals activity. Statistical analysis indicates that there is significant positive correlation between GPA and meals (p=0.0305). Creativity does not significantly affect to academic performance. Statistical analysis relationship between GPA and creativity shows a marginal significant correlation (p=0.057). Creativity is not influenced by intelligent.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
