Judul: Analysis of noise and mechanical vibration in power house oil palm plant PT Condong, Garut, West Java
Abstrak: Power house merupakan stasiun penyedia sumber listrik utama pabrik yang dihasilkan dari generator dan mesin uap. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tingkat dan pola sebaran kebisingan dan getaran mekanis, menentukan durasi aman maksimum pada area kerja, dan memberikan rekomendasi untuk mengatasi masalah kebisingan dan getaran mekanis tersebut. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan metode grid dan pemetaan pola kebisingan dan getaran dilakukan sesuai dengan kaidah kontur. Hasil pengukuran kebisingan menunjukkan intensitas kebisingan pada power house berkisar 83.36–97.32 dB(A) dan intensitas percepatan getaran maksimum yang merambat ke lantai berkisar 0 sampai 0.3 m/s[2]. Berdasarkan analisis data pengukuran, dapat disimpulkan bahwa daerah power house merupakan daerah dengan tingkat kebisingan yang tinggi. Durasi aman bekerja di dalam power house adalah 3 jam per hari. Oleh karena itu, pekerja disarankan untuk menggunakan pelindung telinga agar bisa bekerja di dalam power house selama 8 jam kerja per hari.

Judul: Noise Analysis of Biodiesel Plant P3 Machinery Production to The Operator Performance at PT SMART Tbk., Marunda, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Noise is one of the essential aspects in ergonomics. This study aims to analyze the distribution pattern of noise in the biodiesel production factory room, evaluate the magnitude of noise received by the hearing sense of the operators of the biodiesel Plant P3 production machine, and determine the appropriate Noise Risk Assessment based on the analysis. PT SMART Tbk. has a biodiesel Plant P3 factory that operates 24 hours, and the use of various machines results in a significant level of noise. The measurement results indicate that the noise levels on floors 1 through 4 are below the threshold value. However, the noise level on the 5th floor exceeds 85 dB, which means that workers can work without maximum protective equipment for only 57 - 64.2 minutes. Therefore, it is necessary to control the noise by reducing the noise on the 5th floor to avoid compromising the health and comfort of the workers. The use of personal protective equipment is also essential to mitigate the negative impact of noise exposure on the workers in the factory environment.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
