Judul: Inspeksi User Interface pada Aplikasi Nelayan Pintar (Nelpin)
Abstrak: Kementrian Kelautan dan Perikanan meluncurkan aplikasi Nelayan Pintar (Nelpin) sebagai penunjang nelayan dalam memperoleh informasi mengenai kondisi laut dan pasar ikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui nilai kesesuaian user interface Nelpin dengan kaidah mobile user interface yang dilakukan melalui inspeksi terhadap setiap komponennya. Kaidah yang digunakan yaitu Material Design, Designing Map Apps, dan Design Principles for Cartography. Inspeksi dilakukan melalui 3 tahap yaitu dekomposisi, inventarisasi komponen, dan pembahasan tiap komponen. Tahap dekomposisi menghasilkan 24 halaman. Inventarisasi dari semua halaman menghasilkan 15 komponen. Hasil inspeksi menunjukkan user interface Nelpin belum sepenuhnya memenuhi kaidah mobile user interface. Persentase kesesuaian antara komponen-komponen dengan kaidah tersebut rata-rata mencapai 47,64%. Persentase komponen tertinggi adalah Gambar Peta sebesar 80% dan terendah adalah Icon dan Margin sebesar 16,67%.

Judul: Pengujian Usability dan Black-Box Testing Aplikasi Nelayan Pintar Studi Kasus: Nelayan dan Penyuluh Tasikmalaya
Abstrak: Saat ini banyak kendala yang dihadapi oleh nelayan seperti kurangnya informasi kondisi alam serta infomasi mengenai harga ikan di pasaran. Untuk membantu nelayan mengatasi masalah tersebut, Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Kelautan dan Perikanan membuat sebuah aplikasi bernama Nelayan Pintar. Untuk menambah daya guna aplikasi ini, diperlukan serangkaian pengujian sistem. Ada 3 metode pengujian yang akan digunakan yaitu survei, think-aloud usability testing dan black-box testing. Dari hasil survei dan think-aloud usability testing, didapatkan poin-poin perbaikan aplikasi seperti perbaikan antarmuka, perbaikan peta dan keterangannya, serta perbaikan pada menu aplikasi. Dari hasil black-box testing, 4 dari 8 fungsi kompleks masih memiliki tingkat keberhasilan di bawah 50%. Namun terlepas dari semua rekomendasi tampilan untuk mempermudah pengguna, perbaikan terutama berada pada perbaikan source code dan aspek teknis lainnya.

Judul: Cloning Trehalose Synthase Gene And Its Expression In Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstrak: Trehalose is a well known as biological stabilizer functioning as stress protecting agent. It is ubiquitously found in bacteria, fungi, invertebrates, and certain desert-adapted resurrection plants such as Selaginella. In most flowering plants, trehalose is synthesized in amounts nearing the detection limit. Gene(s) encoding trehalose-metabolizing enzymes from E.coli, trehalose synthase and trehalose phosphate phosphatase (OtsA and or OtsB) and the same gene from yeast (TPS1 and or TPP) have been introduced to plants and increased stresses resistance, yet resulted in phenotypic defect, due to accumulation of its intermediate product, trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P). T6P increases along with the increase of trehalose level. This research was aimed to find out if introducing trehalose synthase gene (TreS) which does not produce T6P which prevent phenotypic defect resulted from trehalose accumulation, and whether the presence of TreS in plant improves plant resistance to stresses. The use of TreS as an alternative among non toxic selectable markers was also assessed. For this reason, genes encoding trehalose synthase originated from Thermobifida fusca (TfTreS) and originated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtTreS) had been cloned into plant expression vector (pBIN1935S). TfTreS was isolated from T. fusca using PCR and was inserted to pGemT for sequencing. DNA sequent analysis of the 2 clones, TfTreS within pGemT were identical to the published data yet several silent point mutations occured. TfTreS from these clones were inserted into pBIN19 with CaMV35S promoter. It has been successfully transferred to Arabidopsis thaliana via Agrobacterium mediated transformation. MtTreS readily available in pBlunt TOPO II, was exiced from the plasmid and was inserted to pBin1935S, and transferred to Arabidopsis in the same manner, but it has not been successfully transferred to the plant.
