Judul: Analysis of Humidity, Air Temperature and Rainfall on Peat Fire Case in Jambi
Abstrak: Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi memiliki permasalahan serius pada kebakaran lahan gambut. Pengaruh kelembapan, suhu udara dan curah hujan seringkali dikaitkan dengan pengaruh iklim yang memberikan kondisi ideal untuk terjadinya kebakaran. Informasi hotspot yang didapatkan dari penginderaan jauh melalui satelit Terra dan Aqua MODIS dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui jumlah hotspot dan peluang terjadinya kebakaran. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kelembapan, suhu udara dan curah hujan terhadap kejadian kebakaran hutan dan gambut di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi pada tahun 2017-2019. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa analisis korelasi kelembapan, suhu udara, curah hujan terhadap hotspot di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur dalam kurun waktu 2017-2019 memperlihatkan bahwa ketiganya memberikan sumbangan pengaruh terhadap jumlah hotspot. Kelembapan merupakan variabel dengan nilai korelasi tertinggi, sebesar -0,569. Penurunan kelembapan udara yang diikuti oleh penurunan curah hujan disertai terjadinya peningkatan suhu udara mulai bulan Juni sampai bulan September 2019 menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan hotspot tertinggi pada bulan September 2019 yang menyebabkan terjadi peningkatan kejadian kebakaran di Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi., Tanjung Jabung Timur Jambi has a serious problem with peatlands fires. The effects of humidity, air temperature and rainfall are often associated with climatic influences that provide ideal conditions for fire to occur. Hotspot information obtained from remote sensing through the Terra and Aqua MODIS satellites can be used to determine the number of hotspot and the chance of fire occurrences. The research objective was to analyze the relationship between air humidity, air temperature and rainfall to the forest fires in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency, Jambi during 2017-2019. The results showed that analysis of correlation between air humidity, air temperature, and rainfall on hotspot occurrences at Tanjung Jabung Timur shows that all three variables contributed to the number of hotspot. Humidity was the variable with highest correlation of -0,569. The decrease of humidity that followed by a decrease in rainfall and an increase in air temperature from June to September 2019 led to the highest hotspot in September 2019, which resulted to an increase of forest fire occurrences in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi.

Judul: The Effect of Rainfall and Forest and Land Fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province
Abstrak: Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur merupakan salah satu kabupaten paling timur dari Provinsi Jambi dengan luasan lahan gambut terluas di Provinsi Jambi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh curah hujan dan kaitannya dengan hotspot sebagai indikator terjadinya kebakaran hutan dan lahan gambut di Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur, Provinsi Jambi. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini bersumber dari NASA FIRMS untuk hotspot dan NASA POWER untuk curah hujan yang dianalisis secara deskriptif dan korelasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah hotspot tahunan dari tahun 2018 – 2022 sebanyak 1696 titik dengan 1075 titik berada pada lahan gambut dan 621 lainnya pada lahan mineral. Peningkatan terjadi di tahun 2019 sebanyak 1636 titik disebabkan kejadian kebakaran yang menjangkau 5151,02 ha. Hasil analisis korelasi menunjukkan curah hujan dengan hotspot tidak memiliki korelasi yang signifikan dengan koefisien korelasi negatif kuat sehingga peningkatan hotspot diikuti dengan penuruan curah hujan, dan sebaliknya., East Tanjung Jabung Regency is one of the easternmost districts of Jambi Province and has the largest peatland area in Jambi Province. The research aims to determine the effect of rainfall and its relation to hotspots as an indicator of forest and peatland fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province. The data used in this study were sourced from NASA FIRMS for hotspots and NASA POWER for rainfall, which were analyzed descriptively and correlationally. The results of the study show that the number of annual hotspots from 2018 to 2022 is 1696, with 1075 points on peatlands and 621 others on mineral lands. The increase occurred in 2019 by 1636 points due to fire incidents that covered 5,151.02 ha. The results of the correlation analysis show that rainfall with hotspots does not have a significant correlation with a strong negative correlation coefficient, so an increase in hotspots is followed by a decrease in rainfall, and vice versa.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
