Judul: Validasi Kura-Kura Brazil Trachemys scripta elegans (WiedNeuwied, 1839) yang DiperjualBelikan di Bogor Berdasarkan Marka Gen 16S rRNA.
Abstrak: Kura-kura Brazil Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Nuwied, 1839) merupakan kura-kura semi akuatik introduksi yang berasal dari Amerika bagian tengah atau selatan yang banyak diminati masyarakat Indonesia sebagai hewan peliharaan. Keberadaan spesies ini dikhawatirkan dapat mengancam spesies lokal akibat pelepasan secara liar di perairan bebas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memvalidasi secara molekuler spesies kura-kura Brazil (Trachemys scripta elegans) di tiga wilayah Bogor, Jawa Barat sebagai informasi hubungan kekerabatannya berdasarkan marka gen 16S rRNA. Metode yang digunakan yaitu isolasi dan ekstraksi DNA, elektroforesis, amplifikasi dan visualisasi, dan sekuensing gen 16S rRNA. A nalisis data berupa analisis morfologi, validasi fragmen 16S rRNA, pensejajaran nukleotida, perhitungan jarak genetik, dan konstruksi pohon filogenetik. Hasil PCR kesebelas sampel menunjukkan pita DNA tunggal yang terang dan tebal. Validasi seluruh sampel merujuk pada Trachemys scripta elegans dengan nilai persen identifikasi ≥ 99,50%, dan diperoleh hasil jarak genetik < 3% dengan Trachemys scripta elegans, serta hubungan kekerabatan yang dekat dengan Trachemys scripta elegans. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh yaitu sampel tervalidasi dengan Trachemys scripta elegans berdasarkan identifikasi molekuler dan berpotensi menjadi invasif jika dilepas secara liar dan bebas di perairan., The Brazilian tortoise Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Nuwied, 1839) is an introduced semi-aquatic turtle originating from Central or South America that is in great demand by Indonesian people as pets. The existence of this species is feared to threaten local species due to release in free waters. The aim of this study was to molecularly validate the species of Brazilian turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans) in three areas of Bogor, West Java as information on their kinship based on 16S rRNA gene markers. The methods used were DNA isolation and extraction, electrophoresis, amplification and visualization, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A data analysis in the form of morphological analysis, validation of 16S rRNA fragments, nucleotide alignment, calculation of genetic distances, and construction of phylogenetic trees. The PCR results of the eleven samples showed a single bright and thick DNA band. The validation of all samples referred to Trachemys scripta elegans with a percent identification value of ≥ 99.50%, and the results obtained were <3% genetic distance with Trachemys scripta elegans, as well as close kinship with Trachemys scripta elegans. The conclusion obtained is that the samples were validated with Trachemys scripta elegans based on molecular identification and have the potential to become invasive if released wildly and freely into the waters.

Judul: Validation of the Red-Eared Slider Turtle Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839) Traded in Bogor Based on Cytochrome Oxydase Subunit I (COI) Gene Markers
Abstrak: Kura-kura Brazil Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Nuwied, 1839), termasuk hewan introduksi semi akuatik di Indonesia. Namun, keberadaannya dikhawatirkan dapat mengancam spesies lokal akibat pelepasliaran di perairan bebas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk validasi secara molekuler spesies kura-kura Brazil (Trachemys scripta elegans) di wilayah Bogor, Jawa Barat yang didasarkan pada marka gen COI. Metode yang digunakan meliputi isolasi dan ekstraksi DNA, elektroforesis, amplifikasi, serta sekuensing. Analisis data berupa analisis morfologi, pensejajaran nukleotida, validasi fragmen COI, perhitungan jarak genetik, konstruksi pohon filogenetik, dan keragaman haplotype. Hasil didapat berupa 11 DNA target yang memiliki jarak genetik < 3% dengan Trachemys scripta elegans, hubungan kekerabatan yang dekat dengan Trachemys scripta elegans, serta keragaman haplotype yang sedang. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa sampel berpotensi menjadi invasif jika dilepasliarkan secara bebas dan tervalidasi dengan Trachemys scripta elegans berdasarkan identifikasi molekuler.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
