Abstrak: Modern farming is indicated by the use of agricultural tools and machines that substitute human labor. In the process of land preparation, planting, plant preservation, and harvesting, the use of human labor has been reduced and replaced by agricultural machines. The objective of this research was to modify the implement control system for automatic land plowing. The design was using a sprocket-chain mechanism that was connected to the control lever, there after the lever could be moved in back and forward directions. The sprocket was rotated by a DC motor that was controlled by a micro controller passing through H-Bridge device, thereby the lever could be ascend and descend easily by changing the direction of DC motor’s rotation. A potentiometer had been used to measure the rotation angle as the output of the lever position. The scale change at the potentiometer was converted to a digital data by the micro controller and would be used as a feedback. At the field performance test, the prototype was tested to control the depth of a disk plow in a tillage operation using a 4-wheel tractor. The test result showed that, the control system could control the plowing depth in the average of 19 cm at the 350 ADC setting, and 13 cm at 450 ADC setting.

Abstrak: Automation of four-wheel-drive tractor is an alternative of solution to the lack of manpower operator in the future. With the automated control system, the tractors can be operated without interruption as long as the fuel still available, workload and fatigue experienced by operators can be reduced, can also improve the accuracy of productivity, and reduce the possibility of overlapping while processing of land. In this current research, control of tractor is limited to the operation of acceleration pedal, clutch system, and steering systems. The main components of the control system consists of a DC-motor as a driving power transmission system that connects actuators, and sensors that monitor the position of the movement of the actuator position. These components were designed to work according to the steps of manually operation. Data research showed the system to function properly. Speed of the clutch lever operation until it reaches the point of maximum point is one second, and the release rate to the point of minimum pressure is two seconds. Average rotary speed of steering wheel to deflect to the right is the 7.40°/s, and for a left turn is 13.16°/s. Acceleration lever presses speed is 17.91 cm/s and the speed of release is 20.99 cm/s.

Judul: Daya Tahan IgY Spesifik Terhadap Influenza dan COVID-19 dalam Balsam Bibir
Abstrak: Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 virus are respiratory infections and require antiviral medications due to severe consequences. Utilization of specific immunoglobulin Y (IgY) inserted in personal care products were developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate durability of specific IgY against influenza and COVID-19 in lipbalm. The concentration of IgY used in this research was 0.1% and 0.25%. Three groups were observed: control (C) lipbalm without IgY, treatment 1 (T1) lipbalm with 0.1% IgY and treatment 2 (T2) lipbalm with 0.25% IgY. Organoleptic tests were conducted and recorded which includes the sense of smell, colour and consistency for six weeks. The presence of IgY in lipbalm was evaluated using enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) and neutralizationassay. There were some noticeable changes of organoleptic that can be observed such as colour darkened and texture hardened of the lipbalm. Most of the assays gave negative results in T1 and T2, whilst only few of them were doubtful. Our result indicated that IgY concentration of 0.1% or 0.25% in lipbalm were not optimal. However, the negative result might be due to the unavailability of IgY in the product to be dissolved in deionized water since we used beeswax as lipbalm component.
