Judul: Pemantauan Pergerakan Anak Biawak Menggunakan Teknik Pelacakan Benang.
Abstrak: Pergerakan satwa liar merupakan respons satwa terhadap lingkungannya untuk bertahan hidup. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji teknik pemasangan pelacak benang yang paling efektif pada anak biawak, dan mengukur pergerakan anak biawak komodo (Varanus komodoensis) di habitat alami. Penelitian efektivitas pemasangan alat pelacak benang dilakukan pada anak biawak air (Varanus salvator). Pengambilan data perilaku anak biawak komodo dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode focal animal sampling dan all occurrence sampling. Pengambilan data pergerakan anak biawak komodo dilakukan terhadap empat individu pada pukul 06:00-09:00, 09:00-12:00, 12:00-15:00, dan 15:00-18:00. Anak biawak air menunjukkan beberapa respons penolakan. Posisi alat pelacak benang yang efektif adalah pada ekor satwa. Perilaku anak biawak komodo yang dijumpai yakni bergerak, berjemur, istirahat, mencari makan dan mengamati lingkungan. Rata-rata jarak pergerakan yang dilakukan empat anak biawak komodo adalah 43,96±8,65 m/hari. Anak biawak komodo bergerak tidak menjauhi titik awal, dan cenderung melakukan aktivitas di tempat yang sama. Anak biawak komodo banyak berada di atas pohon untuk menghindari ancaman predator dan komodo dewasa.

Judul: Studi Pola Penggunaan Ruang Berbagai Kelas Umur Biawak Komodo (Varanus Komodoensis Ouwens) Di Loh Buaya-Pulau Rinca Taman Nasional Komodo, Nusa Tenggara Timur
Abstrak: Komodo represent totally disappeared threatened giant salamander. The existence of this endemic reptile only gone in the round of Komodo National Park (KNP) that is in Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Gili Motang, Nusa Code (Jessop et al., 2007) and minor partly in north and west of Flores Island (Erdmann, 2004). Differ from research about population or inventory Komodo have become routine activity side organizer KNP, still a lot of ecology aspect from Komodo which still have to be checked specially about habitat interaction in KNP area, and also spatial ecology (home range and movement). The aim of this research area to identify activity type of komodo according to vegetation type and to know it’s home range and daily path length. Methodology of this research were used Focal animal sampling method and Continous recording method. the registry of Komodo position with Absolute positioning method by using GPS receiver at the time of Komodo do activity at certain dot. Monitoring done pursuant to variation of age class (whelp, juvenile and adult) with each five multiply repetition. Mangrove and savannah used by whelp and adult especially to exploring areas, while the juvenile especially to perceive. In monsoon forest, most activity often done by whelp and juvenile is exploring areas, while adult more amount perceiving. Whelp, juvenile and adult often use savannah as place to activity than monsoon forest and mangrove. The highest savannah used time percentage that is in whelp class. All class age of Komodo use the more amount time to rest, but if seen from age old class, juvenile which at longest rest. Furthermost path length is whelp with average thread 1659,954 ± 628,732 m, later then adult as far as 1427,227 ± 1121,776 m and juvenile as far as 820,460 ± 391,288 m. Whelp take possession of highest home range sequence broadly 12,104 ± 8,227 ha, later then adult Komodo and juvenile broadly 9,383 ± 9,805 ha and 3,412 ± 2,048 ha. Komodo in Loh Buaya use three vegetation type (savannah, monsoon forest and mangrove) as it’s habitat. There are relation between activity type with vegetation type posed at with the result chi-kuadrat test (χ ²) at real level 0,005 with value χ ²aritmetic > χ ² table = 71,133 > 25,188. Komodo very like savannah and most daily activity type often done is rest. The highest home range and daily path length that is in juvenile.

Judul: Konstruksi Persamaan Friedmann Alam Semesta Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Termodifikasi Materi Gelap Superfluida
Abstrak: Kosmologi merupakan salah satu objek kajian dari teori relativitas umum. Salah satu model dalam kosmologi adalah model kosmologi Friedmann. Model kosmologi Friedmann dibangun berdasarkan asumsi bahwa materi dan energi terdistribusi secara homogen dan isotropik di alam semesta. Teori relativitas umum dapat dimodifikasi melalui pendekatan teori materi gelap superfluida (MGS). Persamaan medan Einstein untuk teori MGS dapat dirumuskan melalui prinsip aksi dengan memodifikasi Lagrangian pada aksi teori MGS. Selanjutnya dengan memilih metrik Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) datar dengan indeks kurvatur sama dengan nol, dapat dibangun suatu bentuk persamaan Friedmann yang dimodifikasi teori MGS.
