Judul: Identifikasi Keragaman Gen  Pituitary-Specific  Positive Transcription Factor 1 (Pit1) pada Kerbau Lokal (Bubalus bubalis) dan  Sapi Friesian-Holstein
Abstrak: Pit-1, POU1F1 or GHF1 has been identified as the pituitary specific transcription factor that regulates the expression of the growth hormone (GH) and Prolactin (PRL) genes in the anterior pituitary. The Use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and efficient. A total of 320 individuals from four Indonesian buffalo population and 45 individual FH from nine population were genotyped for the Pit1|Hinf1 gene polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR- RFLP). The gene polymorphism was detected only in FH cattle. The frequency of genotype AA is 2%, AB is 44%, BB is 53%. The frequency of A allel is 25% and B allel is 75 %, but no polymorphism were detected in 320 Indonesia buffalo population.

Judul: Identifikasi Keragaman Gen Pituitary Specific Positive Transcription Factor1 (Pit1|Hinf1) pada Sapi Friesian Holstein di BIB Lembang, BBIB Singosari, dan BET Cipelang
Abstrak: Gene Pit-1 or POU1F1 or GHF1 is identified as the pituitary specific transcription factor that regulates the expression of the growth hormone (GH) and Prolactin (PRL) genes in the anterior pituitary. This study was aimed to identify polymorphism of the Pit1|Hinf1 gene from the collected DNA extraction by using Polymerase Chain Reaction – Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. A total of 89 dairy cattles, were used from BIB Lembang (17 hds), BBIB Singosari (32 hds), and BET Cipelang (40 hds). A totally number of 37 beef cattle that were used for a comparison, namely Simmental (12 hds), Limousin (14 hds), Angus (5 hds), and Brahman (5 hds) from BET Cipelang. Three genotypes were indentified, namely AA (611 bp), AB (611 bp, 367 bp, 244 bp) and BB (367 bp, 244bp), genotypes resulting two alleles namely A and B alleles. The frequency of the B allele was higher than that of A allele (B=0.625-0.794 vs A=0.206-0.375); meanwhile in beef cattle the frequencies of these two alleles were diverse by breeds. The Pit1 gene in dairy cattle and beef cattle of Simmental and Limousin was in an equilibrium (χ2calculation<χ2table), while those for Angus and Brahman could not be analized. The highest heterozygosity value of dairy cattle was found in population BET Cipelang, while in beef cattle the highest one was in Brahman. The conclusion was that Pit1|Hinf1 gene in HF cattle from BIB Lembang, BBIB Singosari, and BET Cipelang; as well as beef cattle from BET Cipelang were polymorphic.

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.
