Judul: Pemanfaatan Tumbuhan Pangan dan Obat Oleh Masyarakat Kampung Sinarwangi di Sekitar Hutan Gunung Salak, Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: The needs of food and medicine always increase. The fulfillment of these needs can be met by the utilization of natural resources. Many plant species contains nutrients and essential contents for health and medicinal materials that needs to be explored. Sinarwangi Village is a village around the food of Mount Salak, Bogor. Community of Sinarwangi Village utilize food and medicinal plants directly. Plant untilization which is done by Sinarwangi Village community was closely related to food and health needs in their daily life. The aim of this study is to identify and asses the diversity of food and medicinal plants, also conservation practices in Sinarwangi Village on the utilization of food and medicinal plants. This study was conducted on Mey until June 2012 at Sinarwangi Village by using interviews with a purposive sampling respondent selection as much as 30 respondents. The result of this study showed that there are 79 species from 40 family food plants and 89 species from 47 family identified as medicinal plants from various kind of habitus. The utilization of food plants was dominated by Cucurbitaceae as much as 8 species. Cucurbitaceae family was the main comodity to fulfill the needs of food. The habitus of food plants was mostly tree habitus as much as 30 species. The utilization of medicinal plants was dominated by Zingiberaceae and Fabaceae as much as 8 species. The highest habitus of medicinal plants was herbs habitus as much as 34 species (38%). The knowledge of food and medicinal plants utilization was mostly come from hereditary. The conclusion of this study is that community of Sinarwangi Village utilized plants for food and medicine. Conservation practices such as plant conservation activity, plant cultivation activity and land use. Use of land in Sinarwangi Village includes land use for residential, gardens, fields and forest.

Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
