Judul: A Study in Ecology, Population and Craniometry Bange (Macaca tonkeana) at Morowali Districk Central Sulawesi
Abstrak: Habitat destruction includes forest transformation and illegal logging and is the main factor for population decrease. The aims of this research were to evaluate the habitat conditions concerning group size, ratio of male to female, population density, vegetation stratum utilization and vegetation that has been frequently visited by monkeys; interaction between human population, Bange and forest; and craniometry of Bange. Methods used were line transect for population, diagram of habitat profile, Instantaneous sampling for food resources, interview for interaction between human population and forest and craniometry measurement for skull. Results showed that the population size was 39,82 individuals, density was 0,71 individuals/km2, ratio of male to female was 1:1,65. They used stratum B frequently (62,5%). Result of interview showed that agricultural disturbiance were caused by wild rats (44,80%), monkeys (29,90%) and wild pig s (22,30%). Total variability of skull size was 70,7% or higher than total variability of skull is length jowbone to the equal shape 0,498. Eigen vector value of each size and shape were 102,89 and 35,45. Cranial size of males Bange reality bigger than is female, but the have the same form.

Judul: Habitat characteristics and population size of black crested macaque (Macaca nigra Desmarest, 1822) in several habitat types in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi
Abstrak: This study was conducted in Tangkoko Nature Reserve Bitung-North Sulawesi from July to August 2009. The objectives of this study were to identify habitat characteristics of Macaca nigra including physical component, vegetation structure, canopy cover, water availability, food availability, and to assess the population size in Tangkoko Nature Reserve. Vegetation analysis were made in five habitat types including beach forest, primary lowland forest, secondary lowland forest, transitional (ecotone) forest and burned forest. Fifty seven plant species from 29 families including seedling, sapling, pole, and tree were identified during this study. Population size was determined by direct encounter. Trees from family Anacardiaceae, Moraceae, Myrtaceae, Verbenaceae, and Clusiaceae were dominant in study area. The highest Diversity Index was found in lowland transitional forest. Similarity Index shown that every habitat types had little similarity, the biggest similarity index was found between primary forest and transitional (43.10 %). Canopy stratum C (4 - 20 m) was dominant in the study area. The most complex canopy strata were found in primary forest which had canopy stratum A, B, and C. Canopy cover density in the study area was relatively high with more than 85 % except in burned forest with a canopy cover density of 40.73 %. Macaca nigra more active in location with higher canopy cover density than in areas that have less canopy cover density. The cover was used by Macaca nigra for concealment, sleeping, eating, and resting. Five water resources were recorded in Tangkoko Nature Reserve during this study. Macaca nigra used these water resources as drink water sources, bathing places, reducing heat, and as playground areas. Nineteenth plant species were recorded eaten by Macaca nigra and fruit was their primary diet. During the study, nine groups of Macaca nigra were found. Four group (Rambo I, Rambo II, Rambo III, and Pantai Batu) intensively observed to know its population structure, sex ratio, and population size. Population size of these groups was 221 individuals. Based on the analysis with ArcView 3.3, the study site covering an area of 686.456 ha. Group size was 14 – 72 individuals/group. The group density was 0.58 groups/km2 and population density was 32.2 ind/km2. Ecotourism activities, hunting and habitat pressure (forest fire and Ilegal logging) are the main threats for Macaca nigra sustainability.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Cu2ZnSnS4 sebagai Lapisan Penyerap Cahaya pada Sel Surya Menggunakan Metode Elektrodeposisi
Abstrak: Thin film of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an alternative semiconductor used as light absorber layer on solar cell. CZTS can replace silicon that commonly used as commercial semiconductor. The advantage of using CZTS as absorber layer is due to the abundance of its chemical composer on earth, and its high value of absorption coefficient. The absorber layer was made by using electrodeposition method on ITO glass substrates. The films were deposited at room temperature using potentiostatic mode with a potential of –1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. After that, the films were annealed at two different temperatures, 180 ºC and 500 °C, for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the polycrystalline thin film obtained fall into kesterite crystal phase. This type of crystal was obtained when the CZTS was annealed at 500 °C in H2S/N2 atmosphere. The value of optical band gap energy for the CZTS thin film was 2.2 eV with the film thickness about 1.228–6.366 μm. The sample of CZTS with electrodeposition time of 45 minutes and annealing temperature of 500 °C showed the best result and in conformity with absorber layers criteria for solar cells.
