Judul: Color Psychology Based Public Park Design for Burnout Prevention in College Students
Abstrak: Burnout merupakan kondisi dimana dapat menyebabkan seseorang untuk merasakan penurunan motivasi belajar dan memunculkan sifat negatif. Kondisi ini rentan dialami oleh seseorang di usia muda karena kurangnya kemampuan dalam menghadapi suatu tekanan. Termasuk pada mahasiswa yang juga memiliki banyak tuntutan tugas. Disamping itu, diketahui bahwa warna memiliki dampak positif terhadap psikologis seseorang. Setiap warna memiliki sifat yang berbeda-beda pada otak manusia. Maka dari itu, elemen desain ini dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi sebuah sarana pencegahan burnout pada mahasiswa. Hal tersebut yang menjadi tujuan dari penelitian ini, yaitu mengetahui preferensi warna pada lanskap yang dapat memberikan dampak positif terhadap burnout pada mahasiswa. Metode yang digunakan merupakan metode deskriptif. Dilakukan kuesioner pada tahap research and analysis untuk mengetahui kondisi burnout pada mahasiswa dan preferensi warna. Dihasilkan kelompok terbanyak adalah mahasiswa dengan kondisi sulit berkonsentrasi dan kehilangan motivasi, Dimana kedua hal ini merupakan ciri-ciri burnout. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner kepada responden, warna biru merupakan warna yang memiliki nilai tertinggi untuk 4 aspek yang memberikan dampak positif terhadap kondisi burnout pada mahasiswa. Maka dari itu penggunaan warna biru didominasi pada desain taman.

Judul: Artwork Design as Supporting Aspect for Healing Garden at Academic Event Plaza, IPB University
Abstrak: Academic Event Plaza sebagai taman yang utamanya digunakan untuk berbagai kegiatan kampus, juga menjadi pilihan mahasiswa untuk menghilangkan academic burnout atau biasa disebut proses healing. Academic Event Plaza memiliki tiga fungsi, yaitu pendidikan, sosialisasi, serta rekreasi yang mencakup fungsi healing. Kebutuhan pengguna tapak akan tempat untuk healing dari academic burnout dapat ditunjang dengan penempatan artwork interaktif. Tujuan dari penelitan ini adalah mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kondisi eksisting pada tapak, menyusun konsep artwork yang sesuai untuk Academic Event Plaza, dan, membuat desain artwork sebagai penunjang healing garden di Academic Event Plaza, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan menggunakan metode deskriptif melalui empat tahap yang mencakup pengumpulan data, analisis dan sintesis, desain konsep, dan gambar konstruksional. Konsep dasar dalam penelitian ini adalah penggunaan artwork berbasis art-therapy untuk menunjang healing garden. Konsep desain dari penelitian ini adalah merupakan pengembangan dari metode art-therapy, yaitu multi-sensory, dimana bentuk artwork akan mewakili kelima indra manusia. Yaitu Artwork Sight yang mewakili indra penglihatan, Artwork Sound yang mewakili indra pendengaran, Artwork Smell yang mewakili indra penciuman, Artwork Taste yang mewakili indra perasa, dan Artwork Touch yang mewakili indra peraba, menjadi satu-kesatuan (unity) pengalaman artistik bagi pengguna., Academic Event Plaza is a university park at IPB University, mainly used for various campus activities, and also an option for students to reduce academic burnout, commonly known as a way of healing from stress. Academic Event Plaza as a park has three main functions, which are education, socialization, and recreation function which includes a function of healing. Interactive artwork installation can support the park’s function to be a place for users in need of a place to heal from academic burnout. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the existing conditions on the site, make a suitable artwork concept for Academic Event Plaza, and to design artworks to support healing garden at Academic Event Plaza, IPB University. This research uses descriptive method, broken down into four stages which include data collecting, analysis and synthesis, concept design, and constructional drawing. The basic concept in this research is the use of art-therapy-based artwork to support the healing garden. The design concept of this research is the development of the art-therapy method, multi-sensory, where the artwork will represent five human senses. The artworks will include 5 parts, which are ‘Sight’ artwork representing the sense of sight, ‘Sound’ artwork representing the sense of hearing, ‘Smell’ artwork representing the sense of smell, ‘Taste’ artwork representing the sense of taste, and ‘Touch’ artwork representing the sense of touch, all of them forming a unity for the users to experience fully.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
