Judul: Correlation of Consumption Frequency with Species Identity and Heavy Metal Contamination in Processed Smoked Stingray
Abstrak: Ikan pari asap termasuk olahan populer yang meningkat produksinya. Pemanfaatan komoditas yang tinggi berakibat pada status konservasi komoditas pari di Indonesia menurut Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) ataupun International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), dan kesehatan akibat akumulasi logam berat. Penelitian bertujuan mengidentifikasi spesies pada sampel olahan berbasis DNA barcoding dan status konservasi berdasarkan CITES/IUCN, menentukan cemaran logam berat, serta korelasi antara frekuensi konsumsi dengan beberapa variabel terhadap sustainability komoditas dan dampak akumulasi logam berat yang dikonsumsi. Penentuan cemaran dengan ICP OES untuk tembaga dan ICP MS untuk selain tembaga. Spesies yang teridentifikasi adalah Neotrygon kuhlii status Data Deficient dan Maculabatis macrura status Endangered menurut IUCN. Uji logam berat menunjukkan sampel produk tercemar merkuri berada di bawah batas aman konsumsi menurut SNI, namun logam berat lain seperti timbal, kadmium, dan tembaga tidak terdeteksi. Frekuensi konsumsi olahan pari masih tinggi di kalangan masyarakat., Smoked stingray is a popular dish that has led to an increase in production. The high utilization can impact the conservation status of stingrays’ commodity in Indonesia based on Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) or International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Excessive consumption can also be harmful because ray can accumulate heavy metals. The research aims to identify stingray species based on DNA barcoding, their conservation status based on CITES/IUCN, determine heavy metal contamination and the correlation between the frequency of consumption with several variables related to sustainability and the impact of heavy metal consumed. Heavy metal analysis was determined using the ICP OES for copper and the ICP MS for other than copper. The results are Neotrygon kuhlii with Data Deficient and Maculabatis macrura with Endangered according to IUCN. Heavy metal testing shows that the contaminated product sample is below the safe consumption limit according to SNI, but other heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and copper are not detected. However, frequency consumption products are still high in the public.

Judul: Frequency and Risk of Consuming Processed Smoked Stingray Fish on the North Coast of Java Island
Abstrak: Ikan pari asap merupakan salah satu olahan populer di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan frekuensi konsumsi olahan ikan pari asap di sembilan daerah utara Pulau Jawa, yaitu Lamongan, Tegal, Jakarta, Surabaya, Kendal, Batang, Indramayu, Demak, dan Pemalang, menghitung cemaran merkuri (Hg) dan metil merkuri (MeHg), menghitung tingkatan cemaran Polycylic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), dan menentukan risiko konsumsi olahan ikan pari asap. Penentuan cemaran dengan Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) untuk merkuri, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) untuk PAH dan Liquid Chromatography Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS) untuk metil merkuri. Uji logam berat menunjukkan sampel produk tercemar merkuri berada di atas batas aman konsumsi menurut Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI). Hasil uji PAH menunjukkan sampel berada di bawah batas aman konsumsi menurut SNI. Hasil perhitungan Hazard Question (HQ) dan Hazard Index (HI) > 1, menunjukkan bahwa responden yang terkena dampak mungkin menghadapi risiko kesehatan non-karsinogenik.

Judul: Penggunaan Metode Homotopi untuk Menyelesaikan Persamaan KdV (Korteweg-de Vries)
Abstrak: Natural phenomena can be explained using nonlinear mathematical models. In this paper, we studied the solution of KdV equation using the Homotopy method. The KdV equation is used for describing both surface and internal waves. One of the solutions is called a solitary wave. The use of homotopy method to solve the KdV equation required a nonlinear operator which was determined by the nonlinear form of the KdV equation itself. Based on this operator, a recursive formula was obtained to get a sequence of the KdV solution. The higher the sequence order of the sequence used, the closer to the exact solution of the KdV equation.
