Judul: Efektivitas Merek dan Desain Kemasan dalam Membentuk Citra Produk di Serambi Botani, Botani Square, Bogor
Abstrak: Serambi Botani outlet is under the supervision of Bogor Agricultural University that develops agricultural processed products with the same brand name called Serambi Botani.The aims of this research were to (1) identify consumer’s perception on brand elements and packaging design of Serambi Botani products; (2) identify consumer’s perception on image of Serambi Botani products, and (3) identify the relation between perception on the brand and packaging design, and image of Serambi Botani products. The study was carried out by using quantitative approach that supported by a qualitative approach using structured interviews by utilizing a questionnaire and deep interview. The result showed that brands and packaging positively influenced the image of the products. But, brand and packaging design are not suficiently effective to form product image of Serambi Botani because these factors were not exhibited good image in public.

Abstrak: Marketing communication is an attempt to convey the message to the public, especially to the consumer, about the existence of the product in the market. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect marketing communications. This study also aims to identify the characteristics of visitors and the implementation which done by the company. In this study the business units studied were Serambi Botani, Gandaria City Mall. Serambi Botani is one of business unit under the supervision of the Direktorat Bisnis dan Kewirausahaan Institut Pertanian Bogor (DITBK IPB) that sells processed agricultural products. The results of this study demonstrate the influence of the characteristics of marketing communications to the effectiveness of marketing communications, precisely on affective and conative aspects. Cognitive aspect is not affected by the characteristics of the visitors, the characteristics of marketing communications, nor the level of visitor’s exposure.

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.
