Judul: Scheduling Transjakarta Buses to Minimize Operational Costs
Abstrak: Masalah kemacetan sudah menjadi fenomena yang lazim terjadi di kota-kota besar di Indonesia seperti Jakarta. Sistem Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) ialah salah satu solusi untuk menyelesaikan masalah kemacetan di Jakarta. Sistem BRT yang sedang dikembangkan oleh pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta adalah Transjakarta atau yang lebih kita kenal sebagai busway. Busway diharapkan dapat menyelesaikan masalah kemacetan di Jakarta. Dalam pelaksanaannya, masih banyak kekurangan yang terjadi seperti pada saat penumpang mengalami fluktuasi pada waktu puncak dan waktu nonpuncak. Situasi ini menyebabkan sarana dan prasarana transportasi yang disediakan menjadi rendah utilitasnya dan biaya operasional meningkat, Penelitian ini dikembangkan dalam sebuah model optimisasi yang menjelaskan operasi frekuensi bus dalam satu hari, agar penumpang dilayani lebih baik dan biaya operasional minimum. Masalah penjadwalan diformulasikan sebagai pemrograman linear integer dan diselesaikan menggunakan software LINGO 11.0.

Judul: Masalah Penentuan Koridor Bus dalam Meminimumkan Biaya Operasional
Abstrak: Population’s mobility in Jakarta is extremely high. This would require adequate public transportation facilities. One of the mass public transportation systems developed in Jakarta is bus rapid transit system, which is better known as busway. Busway is expected to be a public transport that would be able to serve the population’s mobility. Currently, the busway is still subsidized by the government, because the fare is set relatively low (in order to attract people using the busway). Nevertheless, the operational cost is relatively high. This paper presents an optimization model to determine the corridors of the busway to be operated as well as the frequency of the buses at each corridor. This optimization is formulated in order to fulfill the demand of transportation for each pair of origin-destination and, at the same time, to minimize the total operational cost. This problem is formulated as a integer nonlinear programming and solved using Lingo software 11.0.

Judul: Durability of Specific Immunoglobulin (Ig) Y Againts Influenza and Covid-19 in Sunscreen
Abstrak: The benefit of specific immunoglobulin Y (Ig Y) as an active ingredient in personal care products such as sunscreen has not been properly studied. Our study aims to evaluate the reliability of specific IgY against influenza and the COVID-19 virus in a sample sunscreen product. Specific IgY influenza and COVID-19 viruses were inserted in the sample sunscreen at two concentrations of 0.1% and 0.25%. Three treatments were observed: control (C) sunscreen without IgY, treatment 1 (T1) sunscreen with 0.1% IgY, and treatment 2 (T2) sunscreen with 0.25% IgY. Organoleptic observations were carried out to monitor changes in aroma, color, and texture, and sunscreen sampling was done every week for 6 weeks. The durability of IgY was evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a neutralization assay. Organoleptic observation from weeks 1 to 6 showed consistency in its aroma, color, and texture. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and neutralization assay (NA) results of the T1 and T2 groups showed negative results except for sample T1 at week 5, which showed a positive result in the Influenza A ELISA. Based on the results, it seems that IgY concentrations of 0.1% or 0.25% were not optimal. However, this negative result might be due to low concentration of the IgY and the presence of beeswax, which inhibits IgY and causes it to dissolve in distilled water, thus preventing it from being detected in the assay.
