Judul: Konsentrasi Logam Berat Timbal (Pb) dan Tembaga (Cu) pada Sedimen dan Air di Perairan Pelabuhan Klidang Lor, Batang, Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: Lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) are toxic and persistance pollutants. The information on these heavy metals water quality in the Port Klidang Lor is still limited, whereas the activities of fishing port have been growing fast. The objective of this study was to determine distribution the concentration of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in sediments and water in the Klidang Lor coast of, Batang, Central Java. Sediment and water samples were taken from 11 stations in April 2014. The analysis of heavy metals was performed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) with following APHA procedure (ed 22 , 2012, 3111 – B). Dissolved Pb and Cu concentrations varried in the water column between 0.003-0.006 mg/L and 0.007-0.008 mg/L lower than the these of threshold limit by ministry of environment. The concentration of Pb in sediment ranged between 12.73- 21.07 mg/kg and the concentration of Cu in sediment ranged from 7.73-27.21 mg/kg lower than the these of threshold limit by Dutch Quality Standard For Metals in Sediments. Source of the heavy metal concentration in these waters were possibly to be derrived from an oil spill of the vessel, the activity of shipyards, settlement activity in surrounding port. Variations of heavy metal concentration are also affected by the size of particles in the sediment and organic content.

Judul: Sebaran Logam Berat (Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb) pada Sedimen di Perairan Pesisir Kabupaten Tangerang
Abstrak: Pollution of coastal waters caused by Tangerang Regency industrial, domestic, and farmers. Dangerous pollution parameters such as metal cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb). The concentration of heavy metals in sediment suspended in the water will then settle and accumulate in sediment. This study was conducted in April and August 2013 in the coastal area of Tangerang, Banten. This sampling of water and sediment quality. Method of measurement of heavy metals is ICP and AAS. Analysis of heavy metals is descriptive and statistical. Spearman correlation test is to determine relationship between concentration of heavy metals with grain size particle and total organic carbon. Distribution of heavy metals in sediments varies spatially. The value of the metal content of Hg as a whole has exceeded the quality standard that Hg pollution. The Spearman correlation showed that their is no relationship between heavy metal content with grain size particle (dominated by silt) and total organic carbon showed (P> 0.05).

Judul: Anatomi otot-otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis)
Abstrak: Hewan primata banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis karena memiliki kemiripan anatomi dengan manusia. Evolusi dari otot wajah mamalia yang berhubungan dengan ekspresi wajah dan komunikasi visual terutama pada hewan pimata dalam hal ini otot-otot daerah kelopak mata serta mulut memegang peranan penting (Bennet et al., 1995). Monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) adalah slah satu jenis hewan primata di antara 5 hewan primata yang paling banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis (Anonimus, 2000; Anonimus, 2002). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari morfologi otot-otot ekspresi wajah beserta origo dan insersionya untuk melengkapi data dasar anatomi otot pada M. fascicularis. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga ekor preparat monyet ekor panjang yang telah diawetkan dalam larutan formalin 10% dan sebuah tengkorak kepala beserta tulang rahang bawah monyet ekor panjang. Pengamatan yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi otot beserta origo dan insersionya, dan hubungannya dengan variasi ekspresi wajah yang mampu dilakukan monyet ekor panjang, kemudian membandingkannya dengan literatur anatomi manusia, beberapa hewan primata lain, hewan herbivora dan karnivora. Dari hasil pengamatan, pada susunan otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang ditemukan lima kelompok otot: 1). Kelompok otot kulit kepala yaitu: m. occipitofrontalis (gabungan m. frontalis dan m. occipitalis). 2). Kelompok otot hidung yaitu: m. nasolabialis. 3). Kelompok otot mulut yaitu: m. nasolabialis, m. zygomaticus major, m. zygomaticus minor, m. levator anguli oris, m. depressor anguli oris, m depressor labii inferioris, m. mentalis, m. buccinatorius, m. orbicularis oris dan m. platysma. 4). Kelompok otot telinga yaitu: m auricularis posterior, m. auricularis superior dan m. auricularis anterior. 5). Kelompok otot kelopak mata yaitu: m. orbicularis oculi, m. corrugator supercilii dan mlevator palpebrae superioris. Setiap kelompok otot memiliki berbagai karakteristik baik morfologi maupun origo dan insersio yang berbeda dengan primata. lain, kuda, sapi dan anjing. Hal tersebut menghasilkan variasi fungsi otot yang berbeda sesuai dengan perilaku dan pola hidup.
