Judul: Penerapan Metodetwo Step Cluster Dalam  Analisis Gerombol  (Studi Kasus : Data Potensi Desa Sensus Ekonomi 2003 Wilayah Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Clustering is a process of grouping objects based on similarities . Some problems in cluster analysis are the different scale of measurement, large data sets and unspecified number of cluster. One approach to handle this problems is by using Two Step cluster method. The purpose of this research is to applicate Two Step cluster method by clustering villages residing in West Java. The result of Two Step cluster method are pre-cluster which early yielded at first phase counted eight clusters and optimal cluster which yielded at second phase counted three clusters. Members in first cluster are objects which is extreme outliers and cannot be grouped into other clusters. Villages which include into second clusters have rural characteristic. The village has wide farm, many agriculture households, but also has underdeveloped field of industries and also information and communications. So that, to improve village potency for this cluster, the variables which still have low growth level has to be increased. The third cluster has the characteristic of urban status. Village in this cluster has the closest distance to downtown, developed enough in the field of industry, information and communications, but still have the highest number for unemployment citizens.

Judul: Aplikasi Metode TwoStep Cluster pada Ukuran Data Berbeda, Studi Kasus: Data Potensi Desa 2006 untuk Wilayah Jawa Barat.
Abstrak: Analisis gerombol dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi struktur kelompok data sebenarnya dimana masing-masing kelompok memiliki kemiripan tersendiri. Permasalahan yang biasa ditemukan pada analisis gerombol yaitu data yang ada umumnya tidak hanya bertipe kontinu namun juga bertipe kategorik, serta dalam menentukan jumlah gerombol akhir yang dilakukan secara subyektif oleh peneliti. Metode TwoStep Cluster mampu memberi solusi untuk peubah data yang bertipe campuran antara peubah kontinu dan kategorik serta secara otomatis membentuk gerombol yang optimal bagi kebutuhan data yang sangat besar. Penerapan metode TwoStep Cluster dilakukan pada data Podes SE2006 untuk wilayah Jawa Barat yang memiliki ukuran data besar, kemudian dilakukan kembali pada data Bandung yang memiliki ukuran data kecil. Penggerombolan pada data Jawa Barat menghasilkan tiga gerombol yaitu gerombol perkotaan, pedesaan, dan industri. Sedangkan penggerombolan pada data Bandung menghasilkan dua gerombol yaitu gerombol perkotaan dan pedesaan. Terbentuknya gerombol yang berbeda pada data besar dan data kecil disebabkan oleh jumlah data yang berbeda sehingga rataan centroid pada gerombol yang terbentuk saat proses algoritma TwoStep Cluster berbeda. Perbandingan penerapan metode TwoStep Cluster pada data berukuran besar dengan data berukuran kecil, menghasilkan persentase kesesuaian cukup baik yaitu sebesar 66,32%.

Judul: Durability of Specific Immunoglobulin (Ig) Y Againts Influenza and Covid-19 in Sunscreen
Abstrak: The benefit of specific immunoglobulin Y (Ig Y) as an active ingredient in personal care products such as sunscreen has not been properly studied. Our study aims to evaluate the reliability of specific IgY against influenza and the COVID-19 virus in a sample sunscreen product. Specific IgY influenza and COVID-19 viruses were inserted in the sample sunscreen at two concentrations of 0.1% and 0.25%. Three treatments were observed: control (C) sunscreen without IgY, treatment 1 (T1) sunscreen with 0.1% IgY, and treatment 2 (T2) sunscreen with 0.25% IgY. Organoleptic observations were carried out to monitor changes in aroma, color, and texture, and sunscreen sampling was done every week for 6 weeks. The durability of IgY was evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a neutralization assay. Organoleptic observation from weeks 1 to 6 showed consistency in its aroma, color, and texture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and neutralization assay (NA) results of the T1 and T2 groups showed negative results except for sample T1 at week 5, which showed a positive result in the Influenza A ELISA. Based on the results, it seems that IgY concentrations of 0.1% or 0.25% were not optimal. However, this negative result might be due to low concentration of the IgY and the presence of beeswax, which inhibits IgY and causes it to dissolve in distilled water, thus preventing it from being detected in the assay.
