Judul: Korelasi arsitektur pohon model rauh dari Rasamala (Altingia excelsa Noronha.) dan model arsitektur roux dari jenis kopi (Coffea arabica L.) terhadap konservasi tanah dan air di area PHBM RPH gambung KPH Bandung Selatan
Abstrak: Program pengelolaan hutan bersama masyarakat diharapkan dapat mengurangi terjadinya penurunan fungsi hutan, dengan demikian kerusakan hutan yang mengakibatkan terjadinya bencana alam seperti erosi dan longsor dapat dihindari. Erosi merupakan indikator dari konservasi tanah. Konservasi tanah berhubungan dengan konservasi air. Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya erosi yaitu curah hujan, jenis tanah dan tumbuhan penutup tanah, serta kemiringan lereng. Curah hujan berkaitan dengan proses sampainya air hujan ke permukaan tanah yang meliputi laju aliran permukaan, infiltrasi, laju aliran batang dan curahan tajuk. Laju aliran permukaan, infiltrasi, laju aliran batang dan curahan tajuk dipengaruhi oleh model arsitektur tanaman. Setiap spesies tumbuhan mempunyai jenis arsitektur pohon yang khas.

Judul: Korelasi arsitektur pohon model rauh dari jenis pinus merkusii junghuhn & de vriese dengan konservasi tanah dan air di area PHBM yang ditanami coffea arabica L. RPH Gambung KPH Bandung Selatan
Abstrak: Trees in CBFM (Community-Based Forest Management) ecosystems are suspected to modify rainfall interception, infiltration and as a consequence, erosion. Their effect urges to be assessed and modelled in various conditions of soil and density of vegetation. The most important parameters that affect the soil water balance and erosion were identified as being the total input of water (throughfall and stemflow) to the ground and the runoff ratio. This research was studied correlation of erosion on rainfall, throughfall, stemflow, and runoff. The aims of the research were to : (1) identify architecture model of pine tree, (2) observe throughfall, stemflow, runoff, and soil loss values, (3) study impact of architecture model of pine tree to water and soil conservation. Runoff and soil loss data were collected for thirty-four days of rainfall from three runoff plots situated on a 36% uniform slope areas. Three fields are studied on this research ; pine forest planted with Coffea arabica L., natural vegetation dominated by Altingia excelsa Noronha., and cultivated land. Erosion measurement was conducted at plots 12 long and 4 m wide. The result of the research indicates that P.merkusii and A.excelsa have same tree architecture, Rauh model. Result of loading plot analysis indicate that correlation between throughfall, stemflow and runoff with rainfall and erosion are positive. Forest planted P. merkusii and natural vegetation dominated by A. excelsa prevent or decrease the risk of soil erosion. The greatest amount of sedimentation was observed in cultivated land (55.99 ton/ha/yr). In conclusion, important to consider the type and model of tree architecture which will be planted so as to conserve soil and water and to keep the ground cover to decrease soil erosion.

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.
