Judul: Sensitivitas Ukuran Amatan Model Autoregresi Fuzzy
Abstrak: The conventional time series modelling method is Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). ARIMA method is more effective if it is applied in long time periode of observations that at least 50 observations. Tseng on 2001, introduced Fuzzy ARIMA method to deal time series modelling on short time periode of observations. Fuzzy ARIMA combines the advantages of fuzzy logic, ARIMA and fuzzy regression. Considering Tseng’s study the aim of this study is tracing the optimal observation range size when fuzzy ARIMA method is applied at the curent condition. The result of this study indicated that fuzzy ARIMA when the condition of time series data AR(2) with μ=50 and parameter estimation 1=0.600 and 2=0.300 was more sensitive when the observation size less than 20.

Judul: Peramalan Nilai Tukar Rupiah terhadap Dolar Menggunakan Model ARIMA dan Metode Fuzzy Time Series
Abstrak: Peramalan merupakan sesuatu yang belum pasti dan sulit untuk diduga. Setiap negara memiliki mata uang sebagai alat tukar, pergerakan nilai tukarnya dapat mempengaruhi perekonomian suatu negara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah meramalkan nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar menggunakan metode peramalan konvensional ARIMA dan metode peramalan fuzzy time series serta membandingkan kedua metode tersebut dengan melihat ukuran kesalahan peramalan menggunakan Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Model ARIMA yang menggunakan metode Box Jenkins adalah metode konvesional yang menggunakan himpunan tegas dalam proses peramalannya sementara metode fuzzy time series adalah metode peramalan menggunakan himpunan fuzzy dalam prose peramalannya. Kedua metode ini menggunakan sejumlah data untuk meramalkan nilai tukar rupiah terhadap US dolar di masa yang akan datang. Nilai MAPE yang diperoleh untuk validasi peramalan menggunakan ARIMA adalah 2.47%, metode fuzzy time series 25 periode sebesar 1.42% dan metode fuzzy time series 60 periode sebesar 1.80%, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode fuzzy time series menghasilkan peramalan yang lebih baik dibandingkan ARIMA.

Judul: Peptides Hydrolysate Derived from Collagen of Snakehead Murrel (Channa striata) Skin Demonstrate Anti-oxidant and Anti-cholesterol Activities.
Abstrak: Anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant play crucial role to combat cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to formation of arterial plagues from oxidation of cholesterol. In the past decades, research on bioactive peptides demonstrating anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant activities have been reported as the alternative drugs. In this study, acid soluble collagen was extracted from the skin of snakehead murrel and employed to induce production of collagenase by Bacillus licheniformis F11.4. The collagenases secreted were in turn purified through AKTA Purifier (ion exchange, DEAE column) and used to produce peptides hydrolysate. The purified enzymes were grouped in two distinct collagenase fractions, designated as fraction D and F. Peptides hydrolysate produced by the fraction D was found to demonstrate HMG-CoA inhibitor activity comparable to pravastatin and limited anti-oxidant activity. Meanwhile, peptides hydrolysate generated using the fraction F demonstrated anti-oxidant activity comparable to BHT (2mM), vitamin C (2mM) and vitamin E (2mM), but limited HMG-CoA activity. Combination of the fraction D and F resulted in substantial HMG-CoA inhibition and anti-oxidant activities.
