Judul: Kualitas perairan laut dan dugaan tingkat pencemaran teluk Jobokuto Pantai kartini, Jepara, Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: Wilayah pesisir yang merupakan daerah pertemuan antara daratan dan lautan merupakan daerah yang paling rentan terhadap pengaruh limbah yangberasal dari daratan maupun langsung dari lautan. Sebagai contoh Teluk Jobokuto di Jepara, Jawa Tengah merupakan kawasan pesisir yang memiliki potensi dalam bidang perikanan, kegiatan pelayaran, pelabuhan dan pertambakan (tradisional).

Judul: Kajian Risiko Penanggulangan Tumpahan Minyak, Studi Kasus: di Laut Jawa Bagian Barat
Abstrak: Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan dimana dua pertiga wilayahnya berupa perairan laut yang kaya keanekaragaman biodiversitasnya. Salah satu dampak lingkungan yang mengancam keberlangsungan kehidupan laut adalah tumpahan minyak. Risiko tumpahan minyak yang terjadi dari kegiatan eksplorasi dan produksi minyak dan gas di laut merupakan salah satu dampak lingkungan yang perlu dikelola dengan efektif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendapatkan pengembangan rumusan suatu kajian risiko atas tumpahan minyak di pesisir laut, pemetaan risiko dengan analisa spasial atas tumpahan minyak di area pesisir, dan mengevaluasi kategori risiko pada pesisir terdampak dalam rangka pengelolaan risiko yang efektif. Penelitian mencangkup wilayah Laut Jawa bagian barat termasuk tiga wilayah pesisir yaitu Kepulauan Seribu, Pulau Jawa bagian utara dan timur Sumatra. Pergerakan tumpahan minyak atau trajectori pemodelan menggunakan perangkat lunak Mike Zero dengan data input terdiri atas hidrodinamika dan karakteristik minyak. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan, pesisir di wilayah studi terdampak oleh tumpahan minyak pada 8 bulan (Januari, Februari, Maret, April, Mei, Juni, Juli, dan September). Studi analisa risiko berfokus kepada 7 ekosistem dan sumberdaya terdampak di wilayah studi meliputi: pantai, mangrove, terumbu karang, budidaya perikanan, penangkapan ikan, pariwisata dan pelabuhan laut. Penelitian menghasilkan matrik ALARP (As Low As Reasonable Practicable) dan kategori risiko. Berdasarkan matrik ALARP, risiko terdiri atas tinggi, sedang, rendah dan sangat rendah yang masing-masing bernilai lebih dari 9.47, 9.46 – 4.23,4.22 – 3.75, kecil dari 3.74. Pada umumnya, sekitar 77% area ekosistem dan sumberdaya terdampak bertingkat risiko sedang hingga tinggi. Evaluasi risiko menunjukan distribusi risiko tinggi terjadi pada musim barat dibandingkan musim timur. Penelitian juga menghasilkan matrik prioritas divisi penanggulangan tumpahan minyak berdasarkan risiko paparan kumulatif. Berdasarkan matrik tersebut, Prioritas tinggi selama musim barat terjadi di divisi 6, 7, 13 dan 15 yang berdampak oleh tumpahan minyak pada ekosistem pantai, mangrove, terumbu karang, penangkapan ikan, pariwisata dan pelabuhan laut. Sedangkan pada musim timur, divisi 2 dan 4 menjadi prioritas karena tumpahan minyak berdampak kepada ekosistem pantai, mangrove, budidaya perikanan, perikanan tangkap dan pariwisata.

Judul: Simulation of Modified Minimal Model for Glucose and Insulin Mechanism in Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Humans
Abstrak: Bergman minimal model is Mathematics model which is invented by Richard N. Bergman in 1979. That model consists of three compartments to predict glucose effectiveness (SG) and insulin sensitivity (SI) from the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) data in a period of time. A lot of modifications from bergman minimal model have been made with the purpose to increase the accuracy and to handle process complexity in glucose-insulin mechanism system. Minimal model can be used in health to diagnose, to prevent, and to treat diabetes patients. In this research, mathematics model is modified based on the assumption that insulin enters the plasma insulin compartment at a rate proportional to the product of time and the glucose concentration above a basal plasma glucose concentration. If the plasma glucose concentration drops below the basal plasma glucose concentration, so insulin rate which enters the plasma glucose compartment is zero. Insulin is cleaned from the plasma insulin compartment at a rate proportional to the amount of insulin in the plasma insulin compartment. This model is also modified based on the assumption that the insulin decay rate is not always a first order process and function identification from insulin infusion rate. Modified minimal model that is obtained in this research consists of three ordinary diferensial equations. The first and second diferensial equations state that the influence of insulin to speed up glucose absorption, whereas the third diferensial equation states that the influence of glucose to increase insulin secretion. The accuracy of modified minimal model working is tested by comparing the simulation result of modified minimal model with the simulation result by Zheng and Zhao and the experiment result from the previous study which is done by Jiaxu et al. The simulation from that ordinary diferensial equation is accomplished using ode45. In general, modified minimal model is applied to healthy humans and type 2 diabetes patients which is then divided into four conditions based on the amount of exogenous insulin infusion that is applied in MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory). On the first condition, model simulation in healthy humans without giving insulin infusion. That simulation result shows that after giving glucose injection to the body, glucose reaches higher concentration and returns to basal condition within one hour. When giving glucose injection, the signal is sent to pancreas, β cells in islands of langerhans reacts by producing insulin hormone. This condition is signed with the increase of insulin concentration in the body. After that, insulin concentration decreases and forms little peak. Insulin hormone functions to process glucose so that it can be absorbed by body cells. Within one hour insulin concentration will return to basal level because there is no glucose that should be processed anymore. It presents that pancreas responsiveness is excellent, in which β cells are able to secrete enough insulin to keep blood glucose concentration in normal condition. On the second condition, that is model simulation in healthy humans by giving exogenous insulin infusion on the 20th minute for 5 minutes as much as 30 mU kg-1 body weight. Glucose concentration of healthy humans will return quickly to
