Judul: Inhibisi Ekstrak Air Kumis kucing dan Tempuyung terhadap Aktivitas ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) secara In Vitro
Abstrak: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure. ACE works by converting inactive decapeptide angiotensin I to angiotensin II which can increase blood pressure (hypertension). Kumis kucing and tempuyung plants were macerate using water and the yield were 11% and 9%, respectively. Total flavonoid content of kumis kucing and tempuyung’s extracts were 2.33×10-1% and 1.07×10-1%, respectively. The ACE inhibitory activity were tested and gave 69% for single extract of 50 ppm kumis kucing, 40% for single extract of 50 ppm tempuyung, and 88% for captopryl (control) at 25 ppm concentration. The inhibition of a single extract kumis kucing at a concentration of 50 ppm can be a natural ACE inhibitors and may is potential as an antihypertensive.

Judul: Inhibisi Ekstrak Etanol Kumis Kucing, Pegagan, Sambiloto, dan Tempuyung terhadap Aktivitas Enzim Pengubah Angiotensin I secara In Vitro
Abstrak: Kumis kucing, pegagan, sambiloto, and tempuyung are medicinal plants potential as antihypertension. Thirty percent ethanol extracts of these plants were investigated towards angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition activity in vitro. The research was conducted at the optimum condition (32 °C of incubation temperature, pH 8.3, and 25 mU/mL of ACE concentration) by using 14, 25, 50, and 100 ppm of single extract concentration, and combined extract with specific compositions. The results were compared with captopril as positive control. Inhibition test of ACE with single extracts showed that 50 ppm of kumis kucing, 100 ppm of pegagan, 100 ppm of sambiloto, and 14 ppm of tempuyung have the highest inhibition of 76.98, 58.69, 53.74, and 62.89%, respectively. Combined extract of kumis kucing, pegagan, and tempuyung of 25:50:7 ratio showed 76.87% inhibition, higher than captopril.

Judul: Rancang Bangun Sistem Komunikasi Data Lokasi Robot Beroda dan Server Berbasis Wi-Fi Menggunakan Modul ESP8266
Abstrak: Robot beroda merupakan salah satu jenis robot yang banyak dikembangkan. Sistem komunikasi data antara robot dan server banyak diterapkan pada sistem kerjasama antar-robot, ketika robot memerlukan informasi terkait robot lainnya. Penelitian ini mengembangkan sistem komunikasi data nirkabel berbasis Wi-Fi menggunakan modul ESP8266. Data diambil menggunakan modul GPS Ublox Neo 6MV2 yang terhubung dengan satelit lalu dikirim dan disimpan di server untuk kemudian digunakan sesuai kebutuhan. Selanjutnya, pengiriman data dari server ke robot disimulasikan dengan pengiriman balasan oleh server bahwa data sudah diterima. Selanjutnya robot akan merespon balasan dari server tersebut dengan menyalakan light emitting diode (LED) sebagai notifikasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sistem komunikasi data secara real time dengan menggunakan modul ESP8266 berhasil diimplementasikan dengan interval pengiriman data sebesar 33.29ms dan tingkat keberhasilan pengiriman data keseluruhan sebesar 100%.
