Judul: Analisis Faktor-faktor yang Memengaruhi Masyarakat Muslim Kota Bogor dalam Memilih Menabung di Bank Syariah
Abstrak: Perkembangan bank syariah di Indonesia sudah semakin baik, namun persentase jumlah nasabah bank syariah terhadap jumlah populasi muslim di Indonesia hanya sebesar 17,3 persen. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa masih sedikitnya masyarakat yang memilih untuk menabung di bank syariah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan persepsi masyarakat muslim Kota Bogor terhadap bank syariah dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan masyarakat muslim Kota Bogor dalam memilih menabung di bank syariah dengan mengambil responden sebanyak 80 responden. Metode pengumpulan data dengan penyebaran kuesioner secara online melalui google form, sedangkan metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan analisis regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan, pendapatan dan layanan digital berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap keputusan memilih menabung di bank syariah., The development of Islamic banks in Indonesia is getting better, however the percentage of Islamic bank customers against the number of muslim populations in Indonesia is only 17,3 percent. This shows that there are still few people who choose to save in Islamic banks. This study aims to describe the perception of the Muslim community of Bogor City towards Islamic banks and analyze the factors that influence the saving decision of muslim community in Bogor City in Islamic banks with 80 respondents. The method of data collection is by distributing online questionnaires via google form, while the analytical methods used are descriptive analysis and logistic regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that knowledge, income and digital service had a positive and significant effect on saving decisions in Islamic banks.

Judul: Gene Editing  of Two Cyanide Synthesis-related Genes in Cassava using CRISPR/Cas9
Abstrak: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) contain toxic quantities of cyanogenic glucoside. Reducing the potentially toxic cyanogenic glucoside levels in cassava could be achieved by gene editing through Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats – CRISPR associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9), a high- precision genome editing technique in plants. Two cassava UDP- glucosyltransferase (UGT) paralogs, UGT85K4 and UGT85K5, are the genes catalyzing the synthesis of cyanogenic glucosides in plants. The study aimed to construct the CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant vector carrying single guide RNA (sgRNA) to edit UGT85K4 and UGT85K5 genes, and transform sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 construct into KU50 cassava calli. Five sgRNAs were designed, considering the on/off target efficiency score and GC content. Those sgRNAs were ligated into pRGEB32 plasmid and introduced to competent Escherichia coli DH5a. The PCR colony and DNA sequencing were performed to verify the sgRNA insert. The amplicons showed the expected band size of recombinant vector (180 bp). Based on sequencing results, only one sgRNA was successfully ligated into the plasmid that will be used to edit the UGT85K5 gene. The sgRNA CRISPR/Cas9 construct in pRGEB32 plasmid was successfully transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens and introduced into KU50 cassava calli through co-cultivation. The overgrowth of Agrobacterium occurred after the co-cultivation phase.
