Judul: Rancang Bangun Sistem Pengukuran serta Analisis Distribusi Suhu dan Kelembaban pada Rumah Tanaman
Abstrak: Greenhouse atau rumah tanaman merupakan sarana produksi pertanian yang memungkinkan produsen untuk mengontrol lingkungannya sesuai dengan kondisi yang dibutuhkan. Dalam beberapa kasus, diperlukan rekayasa suhu untuk mengoptimalkan pertumbuhan tanaman di dalam greenhouse. Untuk itu, diperlukan pengambilan data dasar keadaan temperatur dan kelembaban serta distribusinya di dalam rumah tanaman sebagai penunjang rekayasa suhu tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merancang instrumen pengukur suhu dan kelembaban berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) untuk pengambilan data dasar rekayasa suhu pada rumah tanaman tropika dengan tipe modified arch. Penelitian dimulai dengan proses pembuatan alat ukur suhu dan kelembaban. Desain peletakan komponen DHT22, ESP8266 dan regulator AMS1117 dirangkai pada Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Uji kinerja alat dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat tersebut langsung di PT Bisi International Tbk, Kelurahan Kepung, Kecamatan Kencong, Kabupaten Kediri. Terdapat total 12 buah termometer yang dikalibrasi untuk kemudian digunakan sebagai pembanding ketika uji kinerja alat. Didapatkan bahwa perbedaan nilai pengukuran pada greenhouse tipe modified arch dengan dua bukaan atap mempunyai nilai rata-rata 4.85 % untuk suhu dan 28.45 % untuk kelembaban, sementara perbedaan nilai pengukuran pada greenhouse tipe modified arch dengan satu bukaan atap mempunyai nilai rata-rata 8.01 % untuk suhu dan 32.11 % untuk kelembaban. Hasil pengukuran suhu dan kelembaban pada ketinggian tanaman digunakan untuk memprediksi distribusi suhu dan kelembaban dalam greenhouse menggunakan metode Kriging.

Judul: Development of Microclimate Monitoring System for Multi-Greenhouse using Internet of Things
Abstrak: Suhu udara, kelembapan udara, dan intensitas cahaya merupakan parameter lingkungan mikro di dalam rumah tanaman yang berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman dan perlu dilakukan pemantauan. Saat ini, Internet of Things (IoT) merupakan teknologi yang mumpuni dan dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pemantauan lingkungan mikro rumah tanaman di berbagai lokasi secara langsung. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu rancang bangun sistem pemantauan suhu nutrisi, suhu udara, kelembapan udara, dan intensitas cahaya pada berbagai rumah tanaman berbasis IoT. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) yang terdiri dari: (1) analisis kebutuhan sistem, (2) desain sistem, (3) implementasi sistem, dan (4) pengujian sistem. Perangkat elektronika yang digunakan yaitu sensor DHT21, BH1750, DS18B20, dan mikrokontroler ESP32. Hasil perhitungan Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) dan Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) pada kalibrasi sensor yang rendah menunjukkan nilai eror data dari pembacaan sensor yang kecil. Desain sistem dibuat menggunakan rancangan database dan entity relationship diagram. Sistem diimplementasikan pada berbagai rumah tanaman yaitu dua greenhouse tipe standard peak dan satu plant factory. Berdasarkan hasil uji System Usability Scale (SUS), didapatkan nilai SUS 75,67 yang artinya sistem dapat diterima oleh pengguna dan termasuk kategori sistem yang baik pada kelas B. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu sistem pemantauan lingkungan mikro pada berbagai rumah tanaman berhasil dilakukan menggunakan perangkat elektronika berbasis IoT yang dapat diakses oleh pengguna pada web server., Air temperature, air humidity, and light intensity are microclimate parameters in greenhouse that affect plant growth and must be monitored. Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT) is powerful and can be used to monitor microclimate parameters in multi-greenhouse at various locations directly. The purpose of this research is to design and develop a system for monitoring nutrient temperature, air temperature, air humidity, and light intensity in multi-greenhouse based on IoT. This research used the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method, which consists of: (1) system requirement analysis, (2) system design, (3) system implementation, and (4) system testing. The electronic devices used were DHT21, BH1750, DS18B20 sensors, and ESP32 microcontroller. The low values of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) dan Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) obtained in sensor calibration indicate small data errors from sensors. The system design was made with a database design and entity relationship diagram. The system was successfully implemented in multi-greenhouse which two greenhouse standard peak type and a plant factory. Based on the results of System Usability Scale (SUS) test, the system received SUS score of 75.67, which means that system was acceptable to users and included good category in class B. The conclusion of this research was microclimate monitoring system in multi-greenhouse has been successfully implemented using electronic devices based on IoT that can be accessed by users on a web server.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
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.
