Judul: Feeding activity of orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) in Schmutzer Primate Centre, Jakarta.
Abstrak: The study of feeding activity and feeding preference of eight orangutans has been conducted at Schmutzer Primate Centre, Jakarta, from March to September 2008. Feeding activity data collection was performed using focal animal sampling, while feeding preference of each object was collected by direct observation on the single cage. Based on 336 hours observation within 6 months, orangutan spent 53,18% of the time on feeding, 17,27% on resting, and 14,79% on traveling. The daily activity pattern was distributed bimodally with peaks at about 08.00 and 14.00. Feeding activity was greater in the morning (08.00–10.30) and in the afternoon (13.30– 16.00), while resting was greater at the midday. The percentage of fruits / vegetables consumed provided by the Schmutzer Primate Centre was greater (96,90%) than foods available in the exhibition cages (3,10%). Three species of plants were consumed frequently; fig (Ficus benjamina) (0,48%), rumput gajah (Pannisetum purpureum) (0,24%) and velvet tamarind (Dialium indicum) (0,21%), respectively. In addition, orangutan sometimes eat soil, feces, and insect. Based on feeding preference observed on the single cage, there were 3 kinds of foods highly preferred by orangutan, such as, egg, mango, and banana.

Judul: Daily Activities and Food Selection Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) at Taru Jurug Animal Park, Surakarta City
Abstrak: Orangutan Kalimantan atau Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) merupakan satwa endemik yang hanya dapat dijumpai di Pulau Kalimantan dan tergolong ke dalam ordo Primata serta famili Hominidae. Pada umumnya, aktivitas harian yang biasa dilakukan orangutan diantaranya ialah makan, bergerak, istirahat, dan sosial. Orangutan sebagai satwa yang termasuk frugivor cenderung memiliki preferensi pakan pada buah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis aktivitas harian, preferensi pakan, serta palatabilitas pakan yang dikonsumsi orangutan kalimantan di Taman Satwa Taru Jurug, Kota Surakarta. Subjek yang diamati ialah dua individu orangutan berjenis kelamin betina dan jantan. Metode yang digunakan ialah focal animal sampling, penyajian pakan berupa cafetaria, penimbangan bobot konsumsi pakan. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa lokomosi dan istirahat menjadi aktivitas yang dominan dilakukan oleh individu tori (♀) dan didi (♂). Apel, pear, pisang dan tempe rebus menjadi preferensi pakan dari kedua individu tersebut dengan bobot konsumsi pakan yang tidak berbeda signifikan berdasarkan perhitungan uji t terhadap jenis kelamin dengan jumlah bobot konsumsi pakan., Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is an endemic animal that can only be found on the island of Borneo and belongs to the order Primate and family Hominidae. Orangutans' daily activities generally include eating, moving, resting, and social activity. Orangutans, as frugivores, tend to have a preference for food on fruit. This study aims to analyze the daily activities, feed preferences, and palatability of the feed consumed by the Bornean orangutan at Taru Jurug Animal Park, Surakarta City. The subjects observed were two male and female orangutans. The method used was focal animal sampling, serving food in the form of a cafeteria, and weighing feed consumption. The results showed that locomotion and resting were the dominant activities carried out by tori (♀) and didi (♂). Apples, pears, bananas, and boiled tempeh became the feed preferences of the two individuals with feed consumption weights that were not significantly different based on the calculation of the t-test for sex with the total weight of feed consumption.

Judul: Penggunaan Metode Homotopi untuk Menyelesaikan Persamaan KdV (Korteweg-de Vries)
Abstrak: Natural phenomena can be explained using nonlinear mathematical models. In this paper, we studied the solution of KdV equation using the Homotopy method. The KdV equation is used for describing both surface and internal waves. One of the solutions is called a solitary wave. The use of homotopy method to solve the KdV equation required a nonlinear operator which was determined by the nonlinear form of the KdV equation itself. Based on this operator, a recursive formula was obtained to get a sequence of the KdV solution. The higher the sequence order of the sequence used, the closer to the exact solution of the KdV equation.
