Judul: Artwork Design as Supporting Aspect for Healing Garden at Academic Event Plaza, IPB University
Abstrak: Academic Event Plaza sebagai taman yang utamanya digunakan untuk berbagai kegiatan kampus, juga menjadi pilihan mahasiswa untuk menghilangkan academic burnout atau biasa disebut proses healing. Academic Event Plaza memiliki tiga fungsi, yaitu pendidikan, sosialisasi, serta rekreasi yang mencakup fungsi healing. Kebutuhan pengguna tapak akan tempat untuk healing dari academic burnout dapat ditunjang dengan penempatan artwork interaktif. Tujuan dari penelitan ini adalah mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis kondisi eksisting pada tapak, menyusun konsep artwork yang sesuai untuk Academic Event Plaza, dan, membuat desain artwork sebagai penunjang healing garden di Academic Event Plaza, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan menggunakan metode deskriptif melalui empat tahap yang mencakup pengumpulan data, analisis dan sintesis, desain konsep, dan gambar konstruksional. Konsep dasar dalam penelitian ini adalah penggunaan artwork berbasis art-therapy untuk menunjang healing garden. Konsep desain dari penelitian ini adalah merupakan pengembangan dari metode art-therapy, yaitu multi-sensory, dimana bentuk artwork akan mewakili kelima indra manusia. Yaitu Artwork Sight yang mewakili indra penglihatan, Artwork Sound yang mewakili indra pendengaran, Artwork Smell yang mewakili indra penciuman, Artwork Taste yang mewakili indra perasa, dan Artwork Touch yang mewakili indra peraba, menjadi satu-kesatuan (unity) pengalaman artistik bagi pengguna., Academic Event Plaza is a university park at IPB University, mainly used for various campus activities, and also an option for students to reduce academic burnout, commonly known as a way of healing from stress. Academic Event Plaza as a park has three main functions, which are education, socialization, and recreation function which includes a function of healing. Interactive artwork installation can support the park’s function to be a place for users in need of a place to heal from academic burnout. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the existing conditions on the site, make a suitable artwork concept for Academic Event Plaza, and to design artworks to support healing garden at Academic Event Plaza, IPB University. This research uses descriptive method, broken down into four stages which include data collecting, analysis and synthesis, concept design, and constructional drawing. The basic concept in this research is the use of art-therapy-based artwork to support the healing garden. The design concept of this research is the development of the art-therapy method, multi-sensory, where the artwork will represent five human senses. The artworks will include 5 parts, which are ‘Sight’ artwork representing the sense of sight, ‘Sound’ artwork representing the sense of hearing, ‘Smell’ artwork representing the sense of smell, ‘Taste’ artwork representing the sense of taste, and ‘Touch’ artwork representing the sense of touch, all of them forming a unity for the users to experience fully.

Judul: Desain Pengembangan Healing Forest di Taman Hutan Kampus, Kampus IPB Darmaga Bogor
Abstrak: Kota merupakan pusat kegiatan ekonomi yang dapat menjadi daya tarik masyarakat untuk datang mencari mata pencaharian, sehingga menyebabkan peningkatan arus urbanisasi dan meningkatkan kepadatan penduduk. Kepadatan penduduk yang tinggi di perkotaan akan berdampak pada pada tingkat stres individu. Tahapan yang dilakukan dalam perancangan suatu lanskap adalah inventarisasi, analisis data, ide dan konsep, serta proses desain. Aksesibilitas menuju Taman Hutan Kampus tergolong mudah karena posisi Taman Hutan Kampus yang berbatasan langsung dengan jalan utama. Nilai LAI sebesar 0,480-1,548 dan tergolong kerindangan tajuk rendah. Responden menunjukkan respon yang positif terhadap Taman Hutan Kampus sebagai healing forest. Desain dibuat agar dapat mengakomodasi pembagian ruang yang menciptakan jenis aktivitas berdasarkan kebutuhan pengunjung, meliputi ruang induksi, ruang aktif, dan ruang terapi. Aktivitas yang dapat dilakukan untuk mendukung kegiatan healing yaitu menikmati keindahan alam dengan berjalan, berbicara positif, menggunakan semua indra untuk merasakan tekstur pohon, dan relaksasi pikiran.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
