Abstrak: Pisang merupakan salah satu tanaman alternatif yang digunakan oleh masyarakat sebagai antidiare, termasuk pisang ambon. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui adanya aktivitas antidiare dari pisang ambon (Musa paradisiaca) pada hewan mencit (Mus musculus), serta mengetahui dosis terbaik simplisia buah pisang ambon yang memiliki efikasi sebagai antidiare. Pengujian efek antidiare dilakukan dengan metode proteksi intestinal dan metode transit intestinal. Parameter yang diamati meliputi frekuensi defekasi, konsistensi feses, awal terjadi diare setiap 30 menit selama 4 jam, dan panjang marker pada usus mencit. Kelompok akuades sebanyak 0,5 mL sebagai kontrol negatif dengan hasil rataan frekuensi diare 2,60 dan lintasan marker 62,70%, kelompok loperamide HCl sebagai kontrol positif sebanyak 0,26 mg/kg BB rataan frekuensi 1,80 dan lintasan marker 52,50%, kelompok simplisia pisang ambon dosis 20 mg/kg BB hasil frekuensi rataan 3,00 dan lintasan marker 71,50%, kelompok simplisia pisang ambon dosis 40 mg/kg BB rataan frekuensi 2,80 dan lintasan marker 68,50%, dan kelompok simplisia pisang ambon dosis 80 mg/kg BB hasil rataan 2,00 dengan lintasan marker 58,25%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simplisia buah pisang ambon memiliki efektivitas sebagai antidiare. Dosis 80 mg/kg BB menunjukkan efek terbaik pada pengujian dengan metode proteksi intestinal dan metode transit intestinal., Banana is one of the alternative plants used by the community as an antidiarrheal, including ambon banana. The purpose of this study to determine the antidiarrheal activity of ambon banana (Musa paradisiaca) in mice (Mus musculus), and to determine the best dose of ambon banana simplicia which has efficacy as antidiarrheal. The antidiarrheal effect was tested by intestinal protection method and intestinal transit method. The parameters was observed frequency of defecation, stool consistency, when diarrhea begin every 30 minutes for 4 hours, and the length of the marker in the intestine of mice. Aquadest group of 0.5 mL as a negative control with an average diarrhea frequency of 2.60 and a marker trajectory of 62.70%, the loperamide HCl group as a positive control was 0.26 mg / kg BB average frequency 1.80 and trajectory marker 52.50%, group simplicia banana ambon dose 20 mg / kg BW average frequency results 3.00 and trajectory marker 71.50%, ambon banana simplicia group dose 40 mg/kg BW average frequency 2.80 and trajectory marker 68.50%, and ambon banana simplicia group dose 80 mg/kg BW averaged 2.00 with marker trajectory 58.25%. The results showed that the simplicia of Ambon banana had effectiveness as an antidiarrheal. The dose of 80 mg/kg BW showed the best effect in testing with intestinal protection method and intestinal transit method.

Judul: Antidiarrheal Effectiveness of Uli Banana Fruit Simplicia (Musa acuminata Colla) in Mice (Mus musculus)
Abstrak: Uli banana is a nutritious plant that functions to prevent diarrhae. This study aims to determine the mechanism of the antidiarrheal effectiveness of the uli banana simplicial (Musa acuminata Colla) given to mice (Mus musculus) with intestinal protection method induced by oleum ricini and intestinal transit. The parameters observed were the frequency of diarrhae, the consistency of diarrhea, and the ratio of marker passages in the intestines of mice. The results showed that the negative control group (distilled water) had an average stool frequency of 2.6 with an average marker trajectory of 62%. The positive control group (loperamide) had an average stool frequency of 2.0 with an average marker trajectory of 49%. The simplicia group with 20 mg/kg BW dose had an average stool frequency of 3.4 with an average marker trajectory of 61%. The simplicia group with 40 mg/kg BW dose had an average stool frequency of 1.4 with an average marker trajectory of 47%. The simplicia group with 80 mg/kg BW dose had an average stool frequency of 1.2 with an average marker trajectory of 33%. The test results showed that banana uli simplicia had an antidiarrheal effect with a protection method induced by oleum ricini. Suitable intestinal transit method and could inhibit intestinal peristalsis compared to the negative and positive control groups. The simplicia group at a dose of 80 mg/kg BW had the best efficacy as an antidiarrheal., Uli banana is a nutritious plant that functions to prevent diarrhae.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
