Judul: A Web-Based Decision Support System For Quality Of Biodiesel
Abstrak: The main objectives of this research is to create a model of decision support systems for small industrial biodiesel that can be easier for processors biodiesel to manufacture biodiesel in accordance with the standards. A web based decision support systems for quality of biodiesel has four models, namely the determination of the model that produces the best decision for biodiesel processing in accordance with the characteristics of raw materials, the calculation model needs an additional ingredient in the treatment process that produces the decision to the needs of the process, determine the model that produces biodiesel product quality decisions in accordance with quality standards, and model analysis on the incompatibility of biodiesel quality that generates suggestions for the user. Decision support systems programme using the method of decision tree and rules based. The main conclusions of this research is produces a web based decision support systems for quality of biodiesel output of the simulation system that aims to facilitate the processing of biodiesel, especially small industries in producing biodiesel and biodiesel can be produced in accordance with standard (SNI).

Judul: Agroindustrial risk management of palm oil-based biodiesel
Abstrak: Biodiesel is fuel generates from vegetable oils that have properties similar to diesel oil. The advantages of biodiesel compared to diesel is an environmentally friendly fuel because it produces much lower emissions (sulfur free, low smoke number) in accordance with global issues, higher cetane number (> 57) so that the combustion efficiency is better than diesel, lubrication properties of the piston engine; biodegradable, a renewable energy because it is made from natural materials, and improve the independence of fuel supply because it can be produced locally. The purpose of this research is to design the risk management decision support system for agro-industry development of oil palm-based biodiesel. The design methods used include: a) risk analysis of raw materials, processing, and marketing using a non-numeric ME-MCDM. Measurement and assessment of financial risks using risk criteria (coefficient of variation). Financial feasibility studies using the instruments: net profit, NPV, IRR, payback period, the BEP and the Net B / C ratio. Determination of objectives and risk management strategies using the rule-base. AHP is used to obtain an alternative value in the aspect of raw material procurement, processing, and marketing. ISM digunakam in institutional management. This research resulted in a decision support system that is useful to help decision makers in addressing the risk of agro-bio-diesel. Risk management model is designed in a decision support system (DSS) with the name "Biodiesel- RM", can be used by industrial users and investors in the field of biodiesel. SPK software development using Microsoft Visual Basic Version 6.0 yamg consists of three main components namely database management system, knowledge base management system and model base management system. Model base management system consists of 4 sub-model: risk analysis of raw materials, processing of risk analysis, risk analysis marketing, and financial risk analysis. Risks can be reduced through agro biodiesel biodiesel industry cluster approach, with fasilisator FKMKI Biodiesel (Forum biodiesel industry cluster management communication), which was formed and initiated by the community clusters and the formation of cooperative agro-industrial biodiesel supported by investors, financing institutions, universities and research institutions

Judul: Psittacosis Sebagai Zoonosis Penting Yang Berasal Dari Burung
Abstrak: Psittacosis atau ornithosis adalah penyakit menular dari burung kepada manusia. Agens penyebab psittacosis termasuk ke dalam virus psittacosis-lymphogranuloma venereum group yang disebut Chlamydia psittaci. C. psittaci hanya dapat berkembang biak di dalam jaringan hidup tetapi peka terhadap antibiotik. Penyebaran penyakit ini sangat luas, terdapat hampir di seluruh dunia. Di Indonesia penyakit ini belum pernah di diagnosa, tetapi mengingat terdapat demikian banyaknya jenis burung maka diperkirakan psittacosis ini sudah ada. Kasus pada manusia pertamakali ditemukan oleh Ritter pada tahun 1879, di Eropa. Waktu itu dikenal sebagai pneumotyphus. Chlamydia psittaci tidak hanya sebagai penyebab infeksi pada burung, juga bisa menyebabkan infeksi pada mamalia diantaranya sapi, kerbau, kambing, domba, babi dan kucing. Pada kucing dikenal sebagai feline pneumonitis. Pada domba atau kambing mengakibatkan enzootic abortion. Pada burung, kalkun merupakan unggas paling rentan diikuti oleh burung psittacine dan burung lain di luar famili psittacidae. Virulensinyapun berbeda-beda. Yang berasal dari kalkun bervirulensi tinggi, sedangkan yang berasal dari burung merpati bisa bervirulensi tinggi bisa juga bervirulensi rendah. Penularan terjadi melalui kontak langsung maupun ti- dak langsung. Penularan melalui telur tidak terjadi. Umumnya penyakit ini memperlihatkan gejala klinis berupa deman, lesu, lemah, anorexia, kurus, diarrhea ber- warna kekuningan, discharge dari mata dan hidung, conjunc- tivitis. Gejala khas pada kalkun adalah istirahat dengan sternum sebagai dasarnya, karena adanya tekanan dari bagian perut yang sakit. Sedangkan pada manusia memperlihatkan adanya demam, kadang-kadang merasa dingin, lesu, sakit kepala yang hebat, sakit pada bagian belakang badan dan photophobia…dst
