Judul: Analisis Sistem Penyelenggaraan Makanan, Ketersediaan Zat Gizi, Serta Daya Terima Menu Di Taman Kanak-Kanak
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis sistem penyelenggaraan makanan, ketersediaan zat gizi, dan daya terima menu di TK. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional study dengan 80 sampel yang dibagi dalam kelompok dengan penyelenggaraan makanan dan tanpa penyelenggaraan makanan. Sistem penyelenggaraan makanan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Daya terima diukur menggunakan skala Comstock, tingkat kesukaan menggunakan skala wajah. Ketersediaan makanan diukur dengan menimbang satu porsi makanan yang siap disajikan lalu dihitung kandungan gizinya. Data konsumsi sampel dikumpulkan dengan metode food recall. Tidak ada hubungan antara usia, jenis kelamin, status gizi, dan lama mengikuti katering terhadap daya terima menu (p>0.1). Tidak ada hubungan antara daya terima menu terhadap kecukupan energi dan zat gizi (p>0.1). Tidak ada perbedaan pada tingkat kecukupan energi, protein, lemak, karbohidrat, kalsium, dan vitamin C pada kedua kelompok (p>0.1), tetapi terdapat perbedaan pada tingkat kecukupan zat besi pada kedua kelompok (p<0.1).

Judul: Analisis Sistem Pengelolaan, Tingkat Ketersediaan, Dan Daya Terima Menu Makanan Katering Sekolah
Abstrak: School age children are the national investment, so that they need optimal nutrition intake. School meal service is an alternative to overcome nutritional problems of school age children which should contribute about one third of total energy requirement per day. The aim of this study were (1) to analyze food service management at school catering, (2) to assess of hygiene and sanitation in food processing, (3) to evaluate energy and nutrients availability level from food school catering, and (4) to evaluate respondents acceptance of school meal. The cross sectional design was used in this study. The samples of this study were school meal services of Aliya (SDA) and Pertiwi (SDP) elementary school. The respondents of this study were students of fifth grader who consume school meal, catering employee, and headmaster. Food menu divided into monthly and daily. The menu of school meal services of SDA and SDP was produce in household kitchen. Menu planning at catering SDA was based on energy requirement (400-500 Calorie), while at catering SDP was not. In both school meal services, parents of the students were not involved in menu choice. Food service frequency at SDA was five times, while at SDP was four times a week. Food production was done during three and half hour in both school meal services. The period of food distribution to lunch time was 100 minutes at SDA, and 30-115 minutes at SDP. SDA did supervision at the lunch time, menu evaluation, and visit to catering periodically, while SDP did not. The average percentage of SDA employee school meal services who applied hygiene personal was 64.6%, while SDP employee was 53.8%. Average percentage of sanitation prerequisite that applied at catering SDA was 68%, while at catering SDP was 64%. Average energy availability level from food catering SDA and SDP were not yet fulfill one third energy requirement of students, but average energy availability level of monthly food catering SDP approach one third energy requirement (31.2%). The highest average percentage of acceptance toward food catering based on entire acceptance component was daily food menu catering SDP (57.5%).

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
