Judul: Pendidikan Gizi dan Pengaruhnya terhadap Perilaku terkait Kemampuan Membaca Label Pangan Kemasan Tinggi Natrium pada Mahasiswa UNISMA.
Abstrak: Label pangan adalah setiap keterangan mengenai barang yang berbentuk gambar, tulisan, kombinasi keduanya atau bentuk lain yang memuat informasi tentang barang dan keterangan pelaku usaha. Tujuan penelitian adalah mempelajari pengaruh pendidikan gizi terkait kemampuan membaca label pangan kemasan tinggi natrium pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini merupakan quasi-experimental study yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni-Juli 2018, dengan menggunakan purposive sampling dan data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tahapan pre test, pemberian intervensi pendidikan gizi, post test 1 dan post test 2. Hasil uji menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan (p<0.05) antara pengetahuan pada pre test dengan post test 1 dan post test 2. Nilai sikap berbeda signifikan (p<0.05) antara pre test dengan post test, sedangkan nilai praktik tidak berbeda signifikan antara pre test dan post test. Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara karakteristik individu dan keluarga dengan pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik gizi responden.

Judul: The Differences in Knowledge, Attitudes, and  Behavior in Reading Nutrition Label between Nutrition and Non-Nutrition Students  of IPB University
Abstrak: Label gizi merupakan salah satu bentuk pengaturan diet sebagai upaya mencegah meningkatnya angka penyakit tidak menular. Namun, kebiasaan masyarakat Indonesia dalam membaca label gizi tergolong kurang, tidak terkecuali kelompok mahasiswa gizi yang seharusnya terbiasa membaca label gizi karena mempunyai pengalaman belajar label gizi dalam perkuliahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perbedaan pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku membaca label gizi antara mahasiswa gizi dan nongizi IPB University. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi comparative cross-sectional yang dilaksanakan pada Mei-Juni 2024. Data penelitian diperoleh menggunakan kuesioner daring yang terdiri atas 41 pertanyaan utama (10 pengetahuan, 13 sikap, dan 18 perilaku) yang disebar kepada 51 mahasiswa gizi dan 51 mahasiswa nongizi. Hasil uji beda menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan (p<0,05) pada pengetahuan label gizi, sikap terhadap label gizi, dan perilaku membaca label gizi antara mahasiswa gizi dan nongizi. Namun, sebagian besar perilaku mahasiswa gizi berada pada kategori perilaku tidak baik., Nutrition labeling is a form of dietary regulation as an effort to prevent the increase of non-communicable diseases. However, the habit of Indonesian people in reading nutrition labels is still lacking, including nutrition students who should be accustomed to reading nutrition labels because they have experience studying nutrition labels in lectures. This study aims to determine the differences in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of reading nutrition labels between nutrition and non-nutrition students of IPB University. This study used a cross-sectional comparative study design conducted in May-June 2024. Research data were obtained using an online questionnaire consisting of 41 main questions (10 knowledge, 13 attitudes, and 18 behaviors) distributed to 51 nutrition students and 51 non-nutrition students. T-test results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in nutrition label knowledge, attitudes towards nutrition labels, and nutrition label reading behavior between nutrition and non-nutrition students. However, most of the nutrition students' behavior fell into the category of poor behavior.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
