Judul: Wildlife Biodiversity in Peramun Hill, Belitung Regency
Abstrak: Bukit Peramun merupakan salah satu geosite dari Belitong Geopark yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Belitung memiliki luas 1,15 km2 dengan ketinggian 22 mdpl. Bukit Peramun juga diketahui memiliki ragam biodiversitas satwa liar dengan peran penting bagi lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan inventarisasi untuk mendapatkan data dasar yang dapat menjadi pedoman pengelolaan kawasan konservasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh data dasar keanekaragaman satwa liar di kawasan Bukit Peramun. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode jelajah dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu purposive sampling. Data dianilisis dengan indeks kekayaan, keanekaragaman, kemerataan dan uji Kruskal-Wallis. Sebanyak 12 spesies pisces, enam spesies amfibi, delapan spesies reptil, 18 spesies aves, dan tujuh spesies mamalia berhasil diidentifikasi termasuk satwa langka endemik Pulau Belitung yaitu Cephalopachus bancanus ssp. saltator. Sebanyak tiga spesies dikategorikan terancam punah, dua spesies dikategorikan rentan, tujuh spesies dikategorikan hampir terancam, dan dua spesies dinyatakan kekurangan data oleh IUCN dan juga belum tersimpan datanya di Indonesia. Empat spesies termasuk dilindungi di Indonesia. Berdasarkan hasil diatas, dapat disimpulkan area pengamatan menjadi habitat yang baik ditandai dengan keanekaragaman satwa liar di berbagai tipe habitat yang berbeda., Peramun Hill is one of the geosites in Belitong Geopark, Belitung Regency, with a 1.15 km2 range area and 22 mdpl. Peramun Hill has unique biodiversity to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an inventory to obtain basic data that can be used as guidelines for managing conservation areas.This study aims to obtain basic data on wildlife biodiversity in the Peramun Hill area. Purposive sampling methods were used in this study and analysed with richness index, diversity, evenness and Kruskal-Wallis test. As many as 12 species of pisces, six species of amphibians, eight species of reptiles, 18 species of aves, and seven species of mammals were recorded, including the endemic species Cephalopachus bancanus ssp. saltator. Three species are categorised as endangered, two species are categorised as vulnerable, seven species are categorised as near threatened, and two species are declared data deficient by the IUCN and no informative data in Indonesia. Four species are protected in Indonesia. Based on the above results, Peramun Hill still have a representative habitat for wildlife.

Judul: Perencanaan Interpretasi Kawasan Wisata Alam Bukit Peramun Geopark Belitung
Abstrak: Bukit Peramun merupakan salah satu kawasan geosite prioritas di Pulau Belitung. Kegiatan interpretasi penting dilaksanakan sebagai penghubung antara sumberdaya dan pengunjung serta sebagai upaya konservasi sumberdaya di kawasan wisata alam Bukit Peramun. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka, observasi lapang, dan wawancara. Perencanaan interpretasi disesuaikan dengan potensi sumberdaya yang ada, preferensi pengunjung, masyarakat dan pengelola. Data dianalisis berdasarkan teori Veverka 1998 mengenai perencanaan interpretasi. Potensi sumberdaya yang dijadikan sebagai objek interpretasi terdiri dari potensi fisik (puncak bukit peramun, gua dan bebatuan granit), biologi (Eusideroxylon zwagerii, Schima wallichii, tarsius dan lainnya), serta sejarah dan budaya (sejarah batu kembar, filosofi dan sejarah makan bedulang dan lainnya). Kegiatan interpretasi yang telah dilakukan ialah berupa kegiatan geowisata dan wisata alam. Kelompok sasaran kegiatan interpretasi wisata alam Bukit Peramun terdiri dari kelompok umur remaja (78,38 %) hingga dewasa (21,67 %). Perencanaan interpretasi yang disusun terdiri dari tiga program interpretasi yaitu geological tracking, trekking, dan pengenalan tarsius.

Judul: Increasing Resistant Starch Type III on the Modified Cassava Flour ( Mocaf ) through Heating-Cooling Cycles and Its Application on Production of Dried Noodles
Abstrak: Resistant starch tipe III (RS3) is a major resistant starch used in the production of resistant starch-based functional foods. RS3 is formed through retrogradation of gelatinized starch. The objectives of this study were : (1) to increase the resistant starch content of Mocaf through heating-cooling cycles, (2) to use the modified Mocaf in Mocaf dried noodle production. The research was conducted in the following 4 (four) steps, namely : (1) characterizing of native Mocaf, ( 2 ) Determination the optimum combination of flour-water ratio and temperature that produced the highest level of resistant starch, (3) Modifying of Mocaf through heating-cooling cycles, (4) Production of dried noodles using modified Mocaf having the highest resistant starch content. The resulting product dried noodles made an analysis of resistant starch content as well as an assessment of the overall sensory attributes by 79 untrained panelists with hedonic rating test method. The native Mocaf contained starch (67.47%), amylose (36.73%), amylopectin (30.74%), and resistant starch (0.79%). The analysis by RVA showed that native Mocaf had an A-type starch gelatinization profile. The optimum conditions to increase the resistant starch content of Mocaf was flour-water ratio of 1:3.44 (w/w) and heating at 79.93o C. The resistant starch contents as results of 1, 2, and 3 heating-cooling cycles were 4.16%, 6.30% and 8.73% respectively. Addition of 15% and 25% modified Mocaf (3 cycles) in Mocaf dried noodle production increased the resistant starch content up to 3.77% and 4.43% respectively. Some characteristics of the Mocaf dried noodles were cooking loss of between 16.50% and 23,07%, optimum cooking time of 13:01 to 12:01 minutes, water absorption of 126.66% to 169.63%, and rehydration weight of 189.79% to 233.01%. The hardness of Mocaf dried noodle was 423.9 gf. Modified Mocaf substitution of 15% and 25% caused the hardness were 357.7 gf and 266.8 gf respectively. Based on the hedonic evaluation the noodle hardness was between hard slightly and not hard while assessment of overall attribute was between neutral to rather like.
