Judul: Studi Populasi dan Habitat Lutung Jawa (Trachypithecus auratus sondaicus) di Cagar Alam Pananjung Pangandaran, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Javan langur (Trachypithecus auratus sondaicus) is one of the endemic primate species in West Java and is listed as Vulnerable status of IUCN 2013. The purpose of this research was to study the population and habitat of javan langur at Pananjung Pangandaran Nature Reserve. Observation had been done in June-July 2013. Population density of javan langur was estimated using line transect sampling method. Population density of javan langur in Pangandaran Nature Reserve was divided based on location of observation: Karang Pandan, Tadah Angin, and Cikamal. Karang Pandan has the highest density with 8ndividulas/ha, followed by Cikamal with 4 individuals/ha, and Tadah Angin with 2 individuals/ha. The existence of javan langur in Pangandaran Nature Reserve was supported by its habitat, including the vegetation. There were some trees that become the feeding tree of javan langur, the most frequently eaten by javan langur were Ficus sumatrana and Vitex pubescens

Judul: Studi Habitat Lutung Jawa (Trachypithecus auratus E. Geoffroy 1812) di Resort PTN Cimande, Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango
Abstrak: Lutung jawa (Trachyppithecus auratus) adalah primata endemik Indonesia yang termasuk kategori rentan dalam IUCN. Keberadaan lutung akan tetap berlanjut dengan tersedianya habitat yang baik, sehingga informasi mengenai kondisi habitat lutung jawa diperlukan untuk pengelolaan habitat yang lebih baik. Penelitian mengenai habitat lutung jawa bertujuan mengidentifikasi komponen-komponen habitat, mengidentifikasi jenis tumbuhan pakan dan bagian yang dimakan, serta mengukur ketersediaan tumbuhan pakan. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Maret 2024 di RPTN Cimande, Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango. Data penelitian didapatkan dengan melakukan observasi lapang dan pengukuran di lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lutung dapat dijumpai pada ketinggian 684-884 mdpl dengan kelerengan 0%-45%. Jenis tumbuhan yang sering dikonsumsi lutung ialah teureup, ki bolong, dan kayu afrika, dengan perbandingan bagian tumbuhan yang dimakan yakni 58,82% daun dan 41,18% buah. Keberadaan tumbuhan pakan mendominasi pada habitat lutung jawa, sehingga ketersediaannya dapat dikatakan melimpah. Selama penelitian dijumpai primata selain lutung jawa yakni monyet ekor panjang, surili, dan owa jawa, namun tidak teramati terjadinya konflik antar primata., Javan langur (Trachypithecus auratus) is an endemic primate in Indonesia that is categorized as vulnerable by IUCN. The existence of langurs will continue with the availability of suitable habitat, so information regarding the habitat conditions of javan langurs is needed for better habitat management. Research on javan langur habitat aims to identify habitat components, types of food plants and the parts they eat, and measure the availability of food plants. The research was conducted in March 2024 at RPTN Cimande, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Research data were obtained by conducting field observations and measurements in the field. The research results show that langurs can be found at an altitude of 684-884 meters above sea level with a slope of 0%-45%. The plants often consumed by langurs are teureup, ki bolong, and kayu afrika, with the ratio of plant parts eaten being 58,82% leaves and 41,18% fruit. Food plants dominate the javan langur habitat, so their availability is abundant. During the research, primates other than javan langurs were found, namely long-tailed monkey, surili, and javan gibbon, but no conflict between primates were observed.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
