Judul: Rancangan Kemasan Karton Bergelombang dengan Bahan Pengisi untuk Buah Belimbing (Averrhoa carambola L.)
Abstrak: Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) has very thin skin so that fruit need to get better handling in the distribution process. Based on the idea, this research conducted by using corrugated fiberboard packaging with two types of filler materials like foam net and paper wrap. Final design of packaging consist of two main parts namely outer packaging with the dimension (36 x 36 x 14) cm and inner packaging with the dimension (17 x 17 x 13) cm. The number of pieces in one package were 16 fruits. Type of fiberboard used for packaging is flute C for outer packaging and flute B for inner packaging with the addition 1% of ventilation area of the wall packaging. Based on the result of mechanical damage level, the damage level of star fruit which was packed with foam net was smaller than a fruit was packed with paper wrap. Nevertheless paper wrap material filler was able to protect the fruit during storage at temperature of 10 0C and give better conditions until the end of storage than foam net so the paper wrap material filler was suitable to be used for distributing star fruit

Judul: Rancangan Kemasan Karton Bergelombang Double Flute untuk Transportasi Buah Belimbing (Averrhoa Carambola L) Varietas Dewi
Abstrak: Star fruit packaging commonly use fruit basket during transportation and stacked usually, whereas it could make mechanical damages to star fruit, like bruised, scratch, and broke on star fruit because it has soft texture. Therefore it needs more special treatment after harvest to reduce the damage during transportation and distribution. The purpose of this research is design a packaging for transportation and distribution on star fruit which the main material are star fruit and corrugated double flute. The steps of this research are designing packaging, compression strength testing and the spread of temperature in cold storage, selecting the packaging, and simulation of transportation. Design process produce four packaging design, that was: the first design with capacity of 24 fruits per package with circle ventilation (K24CV) and with oblong ventilation (K24OV) has dimensions 30 x 23 x 32 cm, then the second design with capacity of 40 fruits with circle ventilation (K40CV) and with oblong ventilation (K40OV) has dimensions 37 x 30 x 32 cm. The material of packaging design used BC flute for primary packaging (outer) and used B flute for secondary packaging (inner). K40CV was a selected packaging based on the testing during research when has average ability to resist compression about 272.32 kgf and more adaptable in cold storage than other packaging design when enter the minute of 130 it has a stable which the different temperature from each other point in the packaging is about 0.15-0.4ºC

Abstrak: This research aims to determine the seroprevalence of Newcastle Disease (ND) on native birds in North Lore Poso District. The research used serum samples from unvaccinated native birds. A total of 45 samples; 22 from domestic chicken and 23 from Muscovy ducks; were taken from Sedoa, Wuasa, and Napu village. Newcastle Disease was determined by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. The seroprevalence of ND in domestic chicken and muscovy ducks were 40.9% and 69.56%, respectively. It was equal with 9 domestic chicken and 13 muscovy ducks that were positive antibody ND. Based on the results, we can conclude that ND virus was present on those three village in North Lore. The area was determined as ND-endemic.
