Abstrak: This research was aimed to study the morphology of healing process on sheep’s bone implanted with hydroxyapatite-chitosan (HA-C) composite. This research would also present information about the potency of HA-C composite as synthetic bone graft biomaterial or bone implant. Three local sheeps were used in this study. HA-C composite was implanted on the medial of the left tibia bone while the same part of right tibia was treated as control without implant. All implant were harvested at 30, 60, and 90 days post-operation. The observation parameters were the condition, shape, and degradation degree of the implant, bonding between implant and host bone, new bone ingrowth into the implant, and signs of inflammation reaction around the implant. The result showed that the healing process on control bone was faster than those of the implanted bone. As far as 90 days observation in this present study was concerned, HA-C implant did not show characteristics for biodegradability, bioresorbability, osteoconductivity, and bioactivity. However, it showed biocompatibility properties for host body. It is suggested that the implant used in this study is more suitable to be developed as synthetic bone graft biomaterial for application on large defects with healing time longer than 90 days.

Abstrak: This study was aimed to evaluate in vivo osteogenesis potency of bones implanted with graft of hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) composite. This study also observed the potential use of HA-TCP as bone substitution material. Three local sheeps were used in this study. The implant was inserted under aseptic surgery on the proximal medial of the left tibia bone and as control the proximal medial of the right tibia bone was drilled without implant. Bones were harvested after 30, 60, and 90 days post-surgery and observed macroscopic and microscopically. The parameters of observation were the condition, shape and degradation degree of the implant, bonding between implant and host bone, new bone growth into the implant and signs of inflammation reaction around the implant. The result showed that the healing process on control bone was faster than those of the implanted bone. The bone implant had been already degradated in treated group of day 30 post-surgery. HA-TCP bone implant shown some signs for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioresorbability and osteoconductivity properties. Therefore, it is suggested that HA-TCP implant might be used as bone substitution in the bone lesions with approximately 30 days of recovery.

Judul: Estimasi nilai pajak emisi kendaraan umum berbahan bakar bensin di Jakarta
Abstrak: Provinsi DKI Jakarta merupakan provinsi dengan tingkat polusi udara tertinggi di Indonesia. Transportasi merupakan penyumbang utama polusi udara di DKI Jakarta, yaitu sebesar 70%. Sumbangan sektor transportasi ini terutama berasal dari kendaraan berbahan bakar bensin, salah satunya adalah kendaraan umum. Pencemaran tersebut menimbulkan kerugian masyarakat, diantaranya kerugian dari segi kesehatan. Guna mengatasi permasalahan yang terjadi, salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan pemerintah ialah dengan menetapkan pajak emisi kendaraan berdasarkan tingkat kerugian kesehatan masyarakat. Mengacu pada hal tersebut, dilakukan sebuah estimasi kerugian masyarakat akibat emisi kendaraan umum berbahan bakar bensin berdasarkan biaya kesehatan yang totalnya mencapai Rp 4.053.041.102.763,- per tahun. Dari biaya kesehatan tersebut selanjutnya dapat dihitung perkiraan tarif pajak emisi untuk kendaraan umum yang terdiri dari kendaraan angkot sebesar Rp 3.769.733,- per kendaraan per tahun dan taksi sebesar Rp 3.770.528,- per kendaraan per tahun. Mayoritas responden masyarakat DKI Jakarta menyatakan sangat setuju bahwasanya peningkatan jumlah kendaraan umum dapat memperparah kondisi udara yang tercemar. Hal ini juga diperkuat dengan pernyataan keyperson yang menyatakan bahwa adanya pencemaran udara di Jakarta tersebut memberikan dampak negatif bagi kesehatan. Oleh karena itu, baik masyarakat maupun keyperson menyatakan setuju jika pajak emisi dijadikan solusi dalam mengurangi pencemaran udara.
