Judul: Energy and water balance around the Lore Lindu National Park, Central Sulawesi
Abstrak: Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) area, Central Province experienced conversion problems from forest to agricultural area. This conversion caused the change in the condition of local climate, energy and water balance of the location. In the frame to dissolve this problem, project of STORMA (Stability Rain Forest Margins) has conducted on of the research aspects in energy and water balance which could give quantitative information in the effort to stabilize LLNP area.

Judul: Wetland Change Prediction Using Markov Cellular Automata Model In Lore Lindu National Park Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia (Seminar)
Abstrak: Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) is located between 119°90’ - 120°16’ East and 1°8’ - 1°3’ South and administratively, located in Poso District and Donggala District, in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Topographically, Lore Lindu National Park has two enclaves: Lindu Enclave (13.093 ha) and Besoa Enclave (5.085 ha). Lindu enclaves have high growing socio economic activities that can threaten Lore Lindu National Park as a tropical rainforest that requires the stability of rainforest margin area. If agricultural and built up area (settlement area) in Lindu enclaves is always increase every years then the water availability to support Lore Lindu National Park will decrease so the stability of rainforest becomes worst. Wetland as ecological component is important to be maintained, monitored and modeled to support the stability of rainforest margin area. Therefore, Wetland change prediction is needed to predict what will happen in the future. The objectives of this research are: 1) to identify the threatening factors affecting the wetland area in Lindu Enclave area & Lindu Lake, 2) to predict the changes of wetland area in Lindu Enclave area & Lindu Lake using Markov Cellular Automata Model. Land cover 1983 from aerial photography, Landsat TM 2002 and 2006 are used as the spatial model data. Image correction is also performed in order to acquire well ground spatial estimation. Afterward, markov chain is used to get rate value per years of wetland change area in Lindu area. Multicriteria evaluation for wetland area created with soil map, topography map, and land cover map as the variables for suitable wetland area criteria that will be used in cellular automata model. Finally, markov chain probability values for each class and multicriteria evaluation map is merged with cellular automata model with 3 x 3 cell neighbors analysis then spatial wetland change prediction map for 2021 can be created. The results of this research show that Lindu enclaves have two wetland types; natural wetland (marsh and bush land) and construction / man - made wetland (paddy field and fish pond). The changes of wetland area in Lindu enclave area for natural wetland (marsh) was - 66.01 hectares (1983-2002) with – 0.1 % annual change rate and 343.94 hectares area for human made / construction wetland area (paddy field) with 1.0 % annual change rate. The suitable area for wetland was located in every enclave area, however the most suitable area was located at the Southern part of Lindu enclave area.The prediction of spatial distribution for natural wetland area in 2021 will disappear with an annual change rate of -0.1 %. However, human made wetland such as paddy field area has increased to 1,729.06 hectares in 2021 with 0.7 % annual change rate.

Judul: Warna bulu kucing ras Persia : variasi pola warna dan pewarisannya
Abstrak: Kucing Persia merupakan kucing ras yang paling umum dijumpai di Indonesia. Kucing Persia memiliki bulu yang panjang dengan variasi warna bulu yang sangat beragam. Perkawinan yang lebih terarah sangat perlu dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas genetik warna dan pola warna bulu kucing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari variasi warna dan pola warna bulu kucing Persia yang terdapat di Indonesia, yang dilakukan di kantor pusat Cat Fancy Indonesia mulai bulan Oktober 2000 sampai Januari 2001. Data yang digunakan merupakan data pedigree kucing Persia yang tercatat di Cat Fancy Indonesia dari tahun 1997 sampai Oktober 2001 yang terdiri dari 187 jantan dan 258 betina, selain itu juga dilakukan pengamatan langsung kepada tiga penyayang dan breeder kucing yang ada di Bandung. Secara umum tercatat 104 penyayang dan breeder kucing ras di Indonesia, 74,04% terdapat di Jawa Barat dan sisanya (25%) terdapat di daerah Jakarta. Jumlah kucing Persia yang lahir di Indonesia adalah 387 kucing (87,16%), yang terdiri dari 163 (42,12%) jantan dan 224 (57,88%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang diimpor ke Indonesia adalah sebanyak 57 (12,845%) yang terdiri dari 23 (40,35%) jantan dan 34 (59,65%) betina. Jumlah kucing Persia yang terdapat di Jawa Barat (84,14%) lebih banyak dibanding jumlah kucing Persia yang ada di Jakarta (14,86%). Secara umum warna bulu cream (9,01%) dan pola warna solid (34,01%) memiliki persentase tertinggi. Warna cream merupakan warna dilusi dari warna merah (red) yang dapat dihasilkan dari berbagai macam kombinasi warna bulu yang dimiliki tetua sebelumnya, sebagai contoh dari perkawinan tetua yang memiliki warna bulu cream dengan red smoke. Perkawinan antara tetua yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang tidak murni dapat menghasilkan turunan yang memiliki warna dan pola warna bulu yang bervariasi.
