Abstrak: The study was done to investigate the chromosomes treats of Hylobates (agile gibbon) and Symphalangus (siamang). Blood samples were collected from Sumatra (agile gibbons and siamangs) and Kalimantan (agile gibbons). The blood samples then were cultured for chromosome staining. The results showed that the chromosomes of agile gibbons were too sensitive for temperature treatment, and intensive attention must be given to this aspect during handling. Using C-band after DAPI (4’-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining techniques, it was found that agile gibbons have a specific chromosome banding pattern, with i (interstitial), t (terminalis), and c (pericentromeric) heterochromatic bands in both (short and long) of the chromosome arms. More intense observations using Fluorescence Insitu Hybridization (FISH) technique, it was also discovered that a Whole Arm Translocation between chromosome 8 and 9 (WAT 8/9) phenomenon occurred in Sumatran, but never in Kalimantan agile gibbons, and this proved to be very useful as a tool to differentiate between Sumatran and Kalimantan species and will give a significant contribution to avoid hybridization caused by missed species identification. Above all, the application of genetic aspects in cases such as chromosome identification in the ex-situ breeding colonies and rehabilitation centers is strongly suggested as the last barrier before releasing captive or confiscated animals into the wild. This program will not only avoid physically reducing animal populations in the natural habitat, but more importantly, to guarantee their genetic purity in their own wild habitat.

Judul: Cacing parasitik pada ungko (Hylobates agilis F.Cuvier 1821) dan siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus Raffles 1821) di Taman Rekreasi Margasatwa Serulingmas Banjarnegara
Abstrak: Agile gibbon (Hylobates agilis F. Cuvier 1821) and siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus Raffles 1821) are Indonesian endemic species. Aim of the study to determine the existence and the type of parasitic worms that infected agile gibbon and siamang at Serulingmas Zoological Garden, Banjarnegara. From Juli 2009 to February 2010, feces from three heads of agile gibbon and three heads of siamang was collected each week. All of samples were examined with quantitative and qualitative examination. Identification is achieved by the use of faecal cultures. The result showed that parasitic worms of agile gibbon were Trichostrongylus spp. and Strongyloides spp. and parasitic worms of siamang were Trichuris spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Strongyloides spp., and Cooperia spp. The result of quantitative examination showed that degree of infection by parasitic worms in agile gibbon and siamang belonging to low infection.

Judul: Karakteristik Piezoelektrik Film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 di atas Substrat TCO
Abstrak: Studi material perovskite SrTiO3 sudah banyak dilakukan dan menunjukkan sifat feroelektrik, piezoelektrik, kuantum paraelektrik dan superkonduktor yang baik. Dengan penambahan dopant La2O3 diduga menambah performa sifat piezo dan karakteristik lainnya. Karakteristik film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 (LST) dengan variasi x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 terbentuk pada suhu annealing 550 oC di atas substrat TCO melalui metode (Chemical Solution Deposition) CSD dan spin coating dengan 700 rpm pada kondisi suhu ruang dan tekanan atmosfer standar. Hasil menunjukkan, semakin banyak pendadah La maka nilai ketebalan film, ukuran rerata kristalit, parameter kisi, transmitansi, nilai konduktivitas (maksimum 589.7 S/cm pada sampel x=0.04 di frekuensi 10 Hz), nilai konstanta tegangan (c) dan muatan (d) piezo semakin meningkat. Dinamika bentuk grafik nilai tegangan (V) dan konstanta regangan mekanik (s) nampak mirip. Nilai V mencapai 0.127 V untuk x=0.06 (beban 50 g). Nilai maksimum c, d, s masing-masing mencapai 20.07 Vm/N, 1.14x10-8 C/N, 13642.71. Nilai band gap untuk x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 masing-masing 3.21 eV, 3.1 eV, 2.6 eV, 2.4 eV. La2O3 menambah performa sifat piezo, sehingga LST berpotensi sebagai sensor tekanan.
