Judul: Pengaruh Nitrogen dan Rhizobium sp. terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Kedelai Hitam (Glycine soja) pada Budidaya Jenuh Air di Lahan Pasang Surut
Abstrak: This research aims to determine the optimum concentration of nitrogen fertilizer and influence of Rhizobium sp. as inoculant on the growth and production of black soybeans. The experiment was conducted in the tidal swamps of Banyu Urip village, sub District of Tanjung Lago, Banyuasin District, Palembang, South Sumatera Province from May to September 2013. This research used split plot design with three replications. The concentration of nitrogen as the main plot consisted of 0, 5, 10, and 15 g Urea l-1 water and the Rhizobium sp. as a subplot consist of plus Rhizobium sp. and without Rhizobium sp. Saturated soil culture (SSC) technique was used to support the cultivation of soybeans in tidal swamps. The results showed that the effect of the nitrogen concentration of 15 g Urea l-1 water tends to produce the highest productivity up to 3.775 ton ha-1 and more profitable economically. This is supported by leaf N content to be high at 15 g Urea l-1 water up to 4.89%. Addition of Rhizobium sp. is effective enough increase growth and production although not significantly different. The results also indicate that there is interaction of the two treatments on number of leaves at 4 WAP, then there is no interaction was found on the other variables.

Abstrak: Saturated soil culture is a cultivation that gives continuous irrigation and maintains water depth constantly and makes soil layer in saturated condition. Technology of saturated soil culture has been shown to increase soybean production on tidal swamps. The objective of this experiment to study the effect of phosphorus fertilization on the growth and production variety of soybean under saturated soil culture on tidal swamps. The experiment was conducted at Banyu Urip, Tanjung Lago, Banyuasin, South Sumatera, Indonesia from May to September 2013. The experiment used a split plot design with three replications. The main plot of the experiment is black soybean variety consisted of : Ceneng, Cikuray, Lokal Malang and Tanggamus as control . Sub plot is the dosage of phosphorus fertilization consisted of : 0, 36, 72 and 108 kg P2O5 ha-1. The results showed that the variety and phosphorus fertilization affected soybean productivity. The highest productivity was obtained on Cikuray variety with phosphorus fertilization 108 kg P2O5 ha-1 as much as 4.03 ton ha-1.

Judul: Categorization in Macaca fascicularis.
Abstrak: Categorization is an ability to group individuals or events into different classes mediated by conceptualized mental images. There are several levels of categorization and within a taxonomy the levels are nested. At the most concrete level of categorization, all or most members of the category shared common physical attributes that differ from other categories. The higher the level of category, the fewer common attributes between members of the group. In addition to humans, the ability to categorize has also been proposed in animals. One example of categorization in animal is species discrimination. Using matching-tosample task, present experiment tested ability of the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in discriminating dichotomous-stimuli of different animals. The species has been shown to be able to see photos as representations of real object so I used facial photos of humans and animals for the stimuli. First, I tested their ability to classify humans and macaques into separate group. Second, I tested their ability to discriminate their conspecific from other macaques. And the last, I tested whether the subjects were able to discriminate non-human animals from humans. In all of these experiments I found that the subjects showed high performance in categorizing objects, even when I discarded details of visual informations, such as color and local shapes. The ability to identify objects with reduced representation of physical properties means the subjects were able to generalize attributes of members of the group. This would indicate that the subjects created a higher level abstraction. On the other hand, in discriminating intrageneric macaque species I found that they were able to extract uniqueness of each species. More over, I also found that the subjects were able to put photos of non-human animals that shared very few similarities in physical percepts into one group. I suggested that the subjects could create a more abstract concept based on non-percepts relations as a basis to put the objects into one category. Thus, I concluded that M. fascicularis were able to perform multiple levels of categorizations.
