Judul: Pembuatan dan pencirian elektrode selektif ion Lu3+ (Lutetium) dengan Ionofor 4- odekanadioilbis-(1-fenil-3-metil-5-pirazolon)
Abstrak: The ion selective electrode (ISE) performance is affected by the type of ionophore used. This research developed an Lu3+ ISE with dodecanedioylbis-(1- phenyl-3-methyl-5-pirazolone) (H2DdBP) as ionophore which has been proved selective in Lu3+ liquid-liquid extraction. The best composition of ISE obtained from this research was 33% PVC, 57% acetophenone, 5% H2DdBP, and 5% oleic acid. Linear measurement was obtained with Nernst factor of 16.57 mV/decade at 10-3−10-7 M concentration range in very acidic situation and response time was 15 to 250 seconds. ISE still could be used at pH 4 and 7, with 5% Nernst factor decrease after 30 days usage. Other ions such as Cu2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Ca2+, and La3+ did not affect the measurement of ISE.

Judul: Pengoptimuman waktu penyalutan membran PVC dalam pembuatan elektrode selektif ion nitrat
Abstrak: Highly concentration of nitrate in environment especially in water can cause health issue. Therefore, nitrate level should be monitored periodically. The presence of nitrate in the water could be detected by ion-selective electrode (ISE) made of coated a wire electrode using polymeric membrane. The objectives of this research are to determine the optimum time of membrane coating and analytical performance of the ISE. The membranes used in this study were composed of, 35% PVC, 61% plasticizer, and 4% aliquot of 336-nitrate with various coating time of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 seconds. Based on the results, the optimum time of membrane coating was 20 seconds. ISE III showed the best Nernst factor of 59.70 mV/decade. The best Nernstian response was in concentration range of 10-4–10-1 M. The response time of the developed nitrate ISE was less than 1 minute. The detection limit was found to be 6.14  10-5 M. The developed nitrate ISE did not show interference by NO2 - ion, but encountered interference by the presence of CH3COO-, ClO4 -, H2PO4 -, and SO4 2- ions

Judul: Pola Pernikahan Masyarakat Batak Karo di Perantauan
Abstrak: Pernikahan adalah budaya yang tidak akan pernah berhenti, pernikahan akan terjadi secara berkelanjutan Dasarnya, karena pernikahan merupakan kebutuhan biologis manusia. Indonesia adalah negara yang kaya akan budaya dan etnis. Setiap suku di Indonesia mempunyai tata cara/adat istiadat dalam pelaksanaan pernikahan itu sendiri. Begitupun dengan suku Batak karo yang mempunyai sendiri tata cara pelaksanaan pernikahan. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman Karo Banyak masyarakat yang merantau ke berbagai daerah di Indonesia, salah satunya Bogor berjalan-jalan. Masyarakat Karo yang merantau ke wilayah Bogor pada umumnya akan berusaha melakukan adaptasi ke negara tempat tinggal baru. Keadaan ini juga terjadi pada perkawinan Karo dalam pola adaptasi di Bogor. Namun adaptasi pernikahan masyarakat Karo di Bogor berupaya menjaga nilai-nilai budaya Karo dan sakralisme perkawinan. Mereka do Karo Dimodifikasi pada pola perkawinan, dengan tetap menjaga nilai budaya pernikahan.
