Judul: Peran ekstrak tempe pada tikus jantan usia prapubertas terhadap perkembangan reproduksi
Abstrak: Phytoestrogens are substances in plants and have similar structure to estrogen. Tempe is a processed soy beans that are source of phytoestrogens. This study was conducted to determine the role of tempe extract in prepubertal male rats (weaning) to the growth of the reproductive system. A total of 18 male rats weaning age of 21 days were divided into 2 groups, control and treatment groups that were given a soybean extract 6.25g/KgBW at age 21 to 48 days. Parameters observed were testicular weight, reproductive hormones, sperm presence, and body weight. Data were collected at the time of male rats aged 28, 42, and 56 days. Data was analyzed using t-test with 95% confidence interval (α=0.05). The results showed that tempe extract in prepubertal male rats influenced in increased body weight of male rats aged 42 and 56 days, body weight gain of male rats at the age of 28–24 days, estrogen level at the age of 42 days and the ratio of testosterone to estrogen at the age of 56 days. However, there was a delay in the formation of sperm at the age of 56 days.

Judul: Peran Ekstrak Tempe pada Masa Prapubertas terhadap Kinerja Reproduksi Tikus Betina Rattus norvegicus
Abstrak: Tempe extract is one of soybean processed that has phytoestrogens within it. Research was conducted to analyse the potency of tempe estrogenic at prepuberty periode to reproduction system in female rats (Rattus nonvergicus) at the age of 21 days. Rats were divided into control group (without given tempe extract) and treatment group (given 6.25 g/kgBW tempe extract). Tempe extract were given during 28 days. At the age of 28, 42, and 56 days, samples of ovarium, uterus, and blood were collected from the female rats. Parameters observed were body weight, ovarium weight, uterus weight, and reproduction hormone content which were estrogen and testosteron. Data were analysed using Independent Samples T-Test methode with 95% confidence interval. Results showed that increasing of ovarium weight of treatment group is higher than control group at the age of 42 days. Phytoestrogens given is assumed to increase estrogen and testosteron at female rats at the age of 42 days.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
