Judul: Utilisation Management and Perception of  Community and Visitors in Turtle Conservation in Karimunjawa National Park
Abstrak: Karimunjawa merupakan habitat penyu sisik dan penyu hijau sebagai satwa yang dinyatakan hampir punah. Penelitian bertujuan mengidentifikasi dan mendeskripsikan manajemen pemanfaatan, persepsi, serta menganalisis kesediaan membayar masyarakat dan pengunjung dalam mendukung konservasi penyu hijau dan penyu sisik. Data dikumpulkan dengan metode observasi lapang, wawancara, dan pengisian kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk manajemen pemanfaatan penyu di TNKJ adalah melalui program Penetasan Semi Alami (PSA) Penyu, yakni penetasan telur dan pemeliharaan untuk dilepasliarkan guna menjaga kelestarian penyu di alam, serta penunjang ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi konservasi, pendidikan, penelitian dan wisata. Terdapat empat kategori responden yang diwawancarai, yakni 1) masyarakat nelayan, 2) masyarakat non-nelayan, 3) pengunjung PSA, dan 4) pengunjung non-PSA yang secara keseluruhan memiliki persepsi positif dengan kategori sangat baik terkait konservasi, pemanfaatan, dan upaya pelestarian penyu melalui program PSA di TNKJ serta memiliki nilai rata rata Willingness to Pay (WTP) dalam mendukung konservasi penyu sebesar Rp 14.924., Karimunjawa is the habitat of hawksbill and green turtles, which are endangered species. The study aims to identify and describe the use management, perception, and analyse the willingness to pay of the community and visitors in supporting the conservation of green and hawksbill turtles. Data were collected using field observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that the management of sea turtle utilisation in TNKJ is through the Turtle Semi-Natural Hatchery (PSA) programme, which is the hatching of eggs and rearing for release to preserve sea turtles in nature, as well as supporting science and technology conservation, education, research and tourism. There are four categories of respondents interviewed, namely 1) fishing communities, 2) non-fishing communities, 3) PSA visitors, and 4) non-PSA visitors who overall have positive perceptions with very good categories related to sea turtle conservation, utilisation, and conservation efforts through the PSA programme in TNKJ and have an average Willingness to Pay (WTP) value in supporting sea turtle conservation of Rp 14.924.

Judul: Manajemen Pelestarian Penyu Sisik di Taman Nasional Kepulauan Seribu dan Taman Nasional Karimunjawa
Abstrak: Hawksbills turtle are one type of rare and protected animals found in the waters of Indonesia because it population had sharply decreased. Conservation efforts that need to be performed such as arranging a turtle captive breeding program in Kepulauan Seribu National Park and Karimunjawa National Park which aimed at keeping the turtles population. This research aims to measure the success of hawksbills preservation management, identify the technical aspects of hatching and maintenance management, and find out the utilization that can be performed based on perception of visitors. The results showed that success rate in TNKpS an TNKJ are in the low category, which are valued on 52.5% and 37.5%. Technical aspects of turtle preservation management consist of hatching and maintenance management. The utilization that can be made against the turtles preservation was limited tourism which emphasize on education aspect and minimize physical contact with turtles.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
