Judul: Kerawanan Konsumen dan Perilaku Pembelian Produk Makanan Kemasan di Wilayah Perkotaan dan Perdesaan Bogor
Abstrak: Based on the findings of the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) in 2011, was found 420 items (132 259 packs) foods are not requirement (Sindo 2012). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of consumer vulnerability on food packaging purchasing behavior in Bogors’ urban and rural area. This study used cross sectional study. The samples of this study was 80 households’ who consumed food packaging product that come from complete family and choosen by using simple random sampling. The result showed significant differences of households’ purchasing behavior on food packaging product and consumer vulnerability. Moreover, there was negative significant correlation between geographical location, mothers’ education, and expenditure of food packaging product with consumer vulnerability. Factor that affect the vulnerability of consumer is geographical location. Age, expenditure of food packaging product, family expenditure, and consumer vulnerability was influenced purchasing behavior

Abstrak: The availability of food packaged products made the housewives job as the food needs regulator of family become easier. The aims of this study was to analyze effect of lifestyle and reference group on housewives attitude on purchasing food packaged products in Bogor’s rural and urban area. The design of this study was cross sectional, and the research locations were Baranangsiang and Cibatok 1 villages. The sample of this study was 80 households who consumed food packaged products and selected by random sampling. The result showed significant differences between lifestyle and housewives attitude (cognitive and attitudeal) in urban and rural area. Moreover, there was positive correlation between the education level and attitude. Education level and lifestyle affected housewives attitude toward food packaged products.

Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
