Judul: Perilaku Disolusi Ketoprofen Tersalut Rangkap dalam Gel Kitosan-Gom Guar dengan Alginat.
Abstrak: Modification of chitosan gel by guar gum hydrocoloid with glutaraldehyde cross-link is capable to coat drug as microcapsule. The release rate in gastric medium and intestinal has been studied by dissolution test. Dissolution result of chitosan-gum guar coated ketoprofen previously showed that the microcapsule shaterred at gastric pH so that the drug release was not restrained. Double coating of ketoprofen by chitosan-gum guar with alginate in order to improve ketoprofen release has been done in this research. A number of concentration levels of alginate and CaCl2 solutions were applied for optimation of coat performance. Test dissolution result of ketoprofen showed time effect to ketoprofen release through kinetic models of drugs release. In acid medium, a large part of coating formulas followed Korsmeyer-Peppas model, while all coating formulas followed Korsmeyer-Peppas model in alkaline medium. The mechanism of drugs release in this research is diffusion.

Judul: Perilaku Disolusi Mikrokapsul Ketoprofen Tersalut Gel Kitosan-Alginat Berdasarkan Ragam Konsentrasi Tween 80
Abstrak: Chitosan ability to form gel has been extensively studied and modified; natural hydrocoloid addition is just an example. Chitosan-alginate gel has a promising potential to be applied as a good coating material in drugs delivery system. In this study, chitosanalginate gel coated ketoprofen microcapsules were made using spray drying method. Tween 80 solution concentration used in the process was varied (1, 2, and 3% (v/v)). The resulting microcapsules particle sizes were ranging from 150 nm to 6 μm. The dissolution test results showed that the Tween 80 solution concentrations were affecting ketoprofen releasing rate for the microcapsule. Maximum ketoprofen release rates either in acidic or basic medium were observed at 2% Tween 80 concentration. The maximum released ketoprofen amounts in acidic and basic medium were 35.19 and 287.92 ppm, respectively. The releasing mechanism was determined by evaluating the releasing kinetic models. The ketoprofen releasing kinetic model, both in acidic and basic medium, was following the Hixson-Crowell kinetic model.

Abstrak: Bare-throathed whistler is one of several wild birds in Kelimutu National Park (TNKL) that is believed to have correlation with Lio Community‟s belief. The estimation of Bare-throated whistler‟s population in Kelimutu National Park was about 186.41-1668.07 individual by the density about 0.0389-0.3481 ind/ha with the sex ratio 6.2:1 that spreaded on area with height of 1100 – 1600 masl. The characteristic of Bare-throated whistler‟s habitat is a natural forest with various canopy level, high plant species diversity and high density. The habitat characteristics related to the availability of food in the form of insects, cover, safety and a nesting site. Generally the most of Lio community knew the existence of Bare-throated whistler directly or from their parents‟ stories. The perceptions of Lio Community to the Bare-throated whistler‟s existence is generally support the conservation efforts. The perceptions construct the Lio Community‟s atitude that tend to be conservative to the existence of Bare-throated whistler. The attitude shown by their behavior that not cathing the Bare-throated whistler from the TNKL‟s area or the outside. The attitude have an important role to the existence of Bare-throated whistler in Kelimutu National Park‟s area.
