Judul: Pengaruh potensi kecerdasan dan intensitas belajar mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor strata satu  terhadap prestasi akademik
Abstrak: Sering dijumpai dalam proses pendidikan formal, dimana terjadi perbedaan tingkat penerimaan di kalangan peserta didik. Tingkat perbedaan ini bukan dikarenakan keheterogenan perlakuan yang diberikan, karena proses pendidikan yang dikenakan kepada peserta didik adalah homogen. Perbedaan ini disebabkan karena berbeda-bedanya potensi kecerdasan alamiah yang dimiliki o\eh peserta didik. Dalam proses pendidikan fonnal, untuk mendapatkan prestasi akademik yang optimal diperlukan motivasi yang tinggi yang dapat meningkatkan semangat belajar peserta didik. Selain itu juga diperlukan kesesuaian lingkungan pendidikan yang dipilih dengan potensi kecerdasan alamiah yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa mahasiswa potensi kecerdasan alamiah matematis-logis memiliki kesempatan lebih besar untuk berprestasi dibandingkan mahasiswa yang memiliki potensi kecerdasan alamiah selainnya. Selain itu, intensitas belajar yang relatifsering (sedang dan tinggi) juga memiliki potensi untuk lebih berprestasi dibandingkan mahasiswa yang memiliki intensitas belajar rendah.

Judul: Peran Kecerdasan Emosional, Efikasi Diri, dan Strategi Belajar terhadap Prestasi Akademik Mahasiswa PPKU IPB
Abstrak: Prestasi akademik merupakan salah satu indikator pencapaian hasil belajar mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi peran karakteristik mahasiswa dan keluarga, kecerdasan emosional, efikasi diri, dan strategi belajar terhadap prestasi akademik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik self-report yang melibatkan 110 mahasiswa tingkat pertama di Institut Pertanian Bogor yang dipilih secara acak. Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif signifikan antara kecerdasan emosional dan efikasi diri dengan strategi belajar. Uang saku berhubungan negatif signifikan dengan prestasi akademik. Efikasi diri, time/study environmental management, dan effort regulation berhubungan positif signifikan dengan prestasi akademik. Kecerdasan emosional dan efikasi diri berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap strategi belajar. Efikasi diri, time/study environmental management, dan effort regulation berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap prestasi akademik, sedangkan uang saku mahasiswa memiliki pengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap prestasi akademik.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
