Judul: Perilaku Menggigit dan Istirahat Vektor Penyakit Chikungunya di Kelurahan Pasir Kuda Kota Bogor
Abstrak: In 2010, outbreak of Chikungunya fever was occured in Bogor with an incidence of almost 372 cases. The disease was transmitted by mosquito, however there were no information about the vectors activity such as biting and resting behaviour. This research was aimed to measure the biting and resting behaviour of vectors of Chikungunya at indoor and outdoor. This study was carried out by the methods mosquitoes landing and resting collection at Pasir Kuda Bogor from 06.00 am to 18.00 pm in December 2010 to March 2011. The collected mosquitoes were identified and analyzed. The result showed that the biting activity of Ae. aegypti was peak indoor at 11.00 am to 12.00 pm (13,63 mosquito/man/hour) and outdoor at 10.00 am to 11.00 am (0,25 mosquito/man/hour). While Ae. albopictus was peak indoor at 15.00 pm to 16.00 pm (0,25 mosquito/man/hour) and outdoor at 15.00 pm to 16.00 pm (2,38 mosquito/man/hour). At period of December to March, Ae.aegypti was found resting indoor, while in December to January it was found outdoor. In addition, Ae. albopictus was found resting outdoor in December to March. However, in December it was found resting indoor.

Abstrak: Chikungunya disease was one of the community health problems at PasirKuda Village with an attack rate of 2.96‰ in 2010. This research was done to study the mosquitoe ecology and to detect the presence of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in Aedes spp. mosquitoes. Field surveys were done from December 2010 until August 2011 to collect mosquitoes and conduct interview to identify community knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) on chikungunya, and then in the laboratory to detect chikungunya virus in mosquito samples using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. The resultsshowed that Ae. aegypti breeding place was not in the collecting and saving water container inside the house, but was in another container outside, Ae. albopictus prefer to breed in natural water container and was categorized in moderate density. Ae.aegypti tend to bite and rest inside the house, while Ae. albopictus tend to bite and rest outside the house. Chikungunya virus was successfully detected only in the female Ae. aegypti which was collected on December 2010. The society’s knowledge about chikungunya prevention was categorized as moderate, however, it was not in line with their actions.

Judul: Teknologi formulasi lemak terlindung (Ca-coated fat) dengan cara kimia
Abstrak: Usaha di bidang peternakan sering menghadapi masalah, terutama dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan akan bahan pakan yang baik dan bermutu. Bahan pakan konsentrat contohnya, hampir selalu dibuat dari bahan berupa biji-bijian yang hingga kini masih menjadi komoditi pangan manusia, seperti kedelai, jagung dan kacang-kacangan. Persaingan antara pangan dan pakan tersebut telah mendorong beberapa peneliti untuk mencari alternatif yang paling tepat yaitu pemanfaatan limbah/sisa industri minyak sawit berupa asam lemak bebas menjadi bahan pakan yang kaya akan energi. Agar bahan asam lemak atau lemak yang diberikan tidak mengganggu pencernaan serat pada ternak ruminansia, maka dibuatlah menjadi lemak terlindung. Sabun kalsium merupakan salah satu dari lemak terlindung ini. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari dan mencari formula pembuatan sabun kalsium sebagai lemak terlindung untuk bahan pakan ternak ruminansia. Perlakuan yang diterapkan pada penelitian ini meliputi suhu pemanasan dengan 2 taraf percobaan (70°C dan 100°C), bobot NaOH dengan 2 taraf percobaan (15% dan 20%) dan bobot CaCl₂ dengan 3 taraf percobaan (20%, 25% dan 30%). Hasil pengamatan dan analisa statistik menunjukkan bahwa suhu pemanasan, bobot NaOH dan bobot CaCl, yang ditambahkan berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap nilai kadar air, kadar Ca dan kadar Na. Suhu pemanasan dan bobot CaCl, yang ditambahkan, juga sangat berpengaruh nyata terhadap tingkat kecerahan produk lemak terlindung. Sedangkan kadar abu produk lemak terlindung menunjukkan nilai yang sangat berbeda pada penambahan CaCl₂ yang berbeda. Produk lemak terlindung terpilih adalah yang mendapatkan perlakuan suhu pemanasan 100°C, bobot NaOH 15% dan bobot CaCl₂ 25% dengan rendemen sebesar 30,8 persen.
