Judul: Analisis Perilaku Nasabah Bank Sampah (Studi Kasus: Bank Sampah Sejahtera, Kelurahan Kedungbadak, Kota Bogor Provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: A lot of waste banks flourished throughout cities and villages in Indonesia. Many believe that the waste bank could effectively solve the domestic waste problems in Indonesia. However, some waste banks are unsustainable after a few years. This study observes the background situation of the waste bank from the social psychology point of view. First, the study aims to analyze the influence of bank customers' attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioural control on the intention to handle domestic waste. Second, to analyze the effect of behavioural control, the intention, waste bank management to handle domestic waste. A social survey type of research is applied. Amount of 30 respondents of the Sejahtera Waste Bank's members in Kedungbadak Village, Bogor, were interviewed using a questionnaire. In addition, in-depth interviews with informants were also applied. To test the hypotheses, a multiple regression analysis was applied. The results show that, first, all three variabels simultaneously affect the bank customers' intention to handle domestic waste. Second, it is found that the intention, control behaviour, and waste bank management of the bank customer simultaneously affect the emergence of waste handling behaviour.

Judul: Apatite Growth Optimation on Chicken Mucouse by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Characterization
Abstrak: Some experiment had been conducted to grow apatite from supersaturated solution of calcium phosphate ions on chicken mucouse. The calcium and phosphate ions were originated from Ca(NO3)2 and (NH4)2HPO4. Carbonate ions from (NH4)2CO3 was also used as starting solution. Experiment was carried out within about 5 hours at temperature 370 C and pH 7. Value of Ca+ : PO4 3- was 1.67, while molar ratio of CO3 2- : PO4 3- was 0.5 : 1. Molarity of molar ratio CO3 2- : PO4 3- variated approximately 0.15 : 0.30, 0.51 : 1.02, and 0.90 : 1.80. Mass of mucouse powder was constant 0.75 gram. The analysis result of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) showed that the precipitation was apatite carbonate type A and B. In these experiment it was found out that the mucouse reduce the crystallinity of apatite precipitant, and the growth of apatite crystal was optimum at solution with molar ratio CO3 2- : PO4 3- about 0.15 : 0.30.
