Judul: Pengaruh Kelekatan Teman Sebaya terhadap Konsep Diri dan Kecerdasan Emosi Remaja di Panti Asuhan di Kota Banda Aceh
Abstrak: Berbagai masalah sosial seperti kemiskinan, kehilangan orang tua akibat kematian, dan ketiadaan keberadaan orang tua yang disebabkan konflik serta bencana alam seringkali berdampak terhadap keberadaan anak-anak terlantar termasuk yang tinggal di panti asuhan. Anak-anak yang kemudian tinggal di panti asuhan tentu saja akan mempunyai lingkungan sosial baru dan akan memengaruhi kehidupannya. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan pengaruh karakteristik remaja, karakteristik keluarga, karakteristik kelompok teman sebaya, dan kelekatan teman sebaya terhadap konsep diri dan kecerdasan emosi remaja di panti asuhan. Penelitian dilakukan di dua panti asuhan di Kota Banda Aceh dengan penarikan contoh secara purposif, yaitu remaja di panti asuhan terpilih dengan usia 12-18 tahun. Data diperoleh dengan metode wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur kepada 63 remaja. Sesuai dengan hipotesa penelitian, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelekatan teman sebaya memiliki hubungan positif signifikan dengan konsep diri dan kecerdasan emosi sedangkan konsep diri berhubungan positif sangat signifikan dengan kecerdasan emosi remaja di panti asuhan. Hasil uji regresi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh positif sangat signifikan kelekatan teman sebaya terhadap konsep diri maupun terhadap kecerdasan emosi. Uji regresi tidak menemukan pengaruh yang lebih nyata pada variabel konsep diri terhadap kecerdasan emosi remaja di panti asuhan.

Judul: Pengaruh Tipe Kepribadian dan Kelekatan dengan Teman Sebaya terhadap Perilaku Bullying Remaja di Panti Asuhan.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh tipe kepribadian dan kelekatan dengan teman sebaya terhadap perilaku bullying remaja di panti asuhan. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di empat panti asuhan di Kota Bogor yang dipilih secara purposive berdasarkan rekomendasi dari Dinas Sosial Kota Bogor. Penelitian ini melibatkan 115 remaja yang tinggal di empat panti asuhan terpilih dengan kisaran usia 13 hingga 20 tahun. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan metode self-administered dan wawancara terbuka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tipe kepribadian extraversion, agreeableness, dan conscientiousness berhubungan positif signifikan dengan kelekatan teman sebaya. Tipe kepribadian neuroticism berhubungan negatif signifikan dengan kelekatan teman sebaya. Tipe kepribadian agreeableness berhubungan negatif signifikan dengan perilaku bullying. Usia dan tipe kepribadian conscientiousness berpengaruh negatif terhadap perilaku bullying. Tipe kepribadian openness to experience berpengaruh positif terhadap perilaku bullying. Jenis kelamin berpengaruh signifikan terhadap perilaku bullying. Remaja laki-laki memiliki skor perilaku bullying yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan remaja perempuan.

Judul: Extracellular Expression of thermostable Geobacillus stearothermophilus T1.2RQ Lipase for Biodiesel Production
Abstrak: The extracellular expression of enzymes in an excellent secretion host such as Bacillus subtilis is a useful strategy for making enzymes of industrial significance more affordable by lowering the cost of its downstream processing. Lipases are a category of hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids. Also, lipases catalyze the hydrolysis and transesterification of other esters as well as the synthesis of esters. They can perform very specific biotransformation reactions and are widely used in food, organic synthesis, detergents, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Geobacillus stearothermophilus T1.2RQ lipase is an industrially-desired thermostable lipolytic enzyme with an excellent hydrolytic and transesterification activity. This study aimed to express T1.2RQ lipase, in B. subtilis WB800 and ensure its secretion into the extracellular medium. Three signal peptides (AmyQ, Epr, LipA) and two promoters (Pgrac01 and Pgrac100) were used in the secretory-expression of T1.2RQ lipase, based on five constructed expression vectors constructed by restriction cloning and PCR mutagenesis. Sangers sequencing was used to verify constructs to ensure they are in the correct reading frame. Recombinants vectors, pHT43 (plasmid control), pHT43-T1.2RQ, pHT43- T1.2RQ_AmyQ, pHT43-T1.2RQ_Epr, and pHT43-T1.2RQ_LipA, were transformed by electroporation into Bacillus subtilis WB800. The electroporation was successful with the optimum condition of 2500V, 200 ohms, 25µF, and 5milliseconds. Recombinant B. subtilis pHT43 (negative control) and pHT43-T1.2RQlip + signal peptides were streaked on the lipidic agar, LA+TBN. All four recombinants, including the negative control (B. subtilis WB800-pHT43), produced clear zones on the TBN agar plate after overnight incubation (fig 2), indicating the presence of a lipolytic enzyme in all of the recombinant B. subtilis cells. pHT43-T1.2RQlip + signal peptides (AmyQ, Epr, and LipA) have clear zones with significantly higher diameters than B. subtilis WB800-pHT43 (negative control). This phenomenon suggests that the recombinant thermostable lipase T1.2RQ introduced into these cells was successfully expressed, thereby increasing the lipolytic capability of its host cells T1.2RQ lipase was expressed in 50ml terrific broth medium (TB) and the expression induced with 1mM IPTG. Lipase activity assay using p-nitrophenyl esters showed that all three signal peptides directed the secretion of T1.2RQ lipase into the extracellular medium. Signal peptide, LipA, resulted in the highest extracellular activity of 5.6 U/mL, which corresponds to a 6-fold increase over the parent B. subtilis WB800 strain. Meanwhile, signal peptides, AmyQ and Epr produced 4.2 U/mL and 3.4 U/mL activity respectively. SDS-Zymogram analysis confirmed that T1.2RQ lipase was correctly processed and secreted in its original size of 44 kDa. An attempt to further increase lipase expression level by promoter optimization showed that, contrary to expectation, promoter Pgrac100 exhibited similar expression levels as the original Pgrac01. Nevertheless, the demonstration of the successful secretion of T1.2RQ lipase in this work confirms the latter as a promising approach for the industrial production of the enzyme
