Judul: Proses Adopsi dan Difusi Inovasi Pemberian Makanan Tambahan Bayi (Penelitian di Kabupaten Bogor Propinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Salah satu langkah peningkatan kualitas sumberdaya manusia adalah melalui peningkatan status gizi masyarakat karena erat kaitannya dengan malsah produktivitas dan efisiensi kerja, kematian bayi/anak, serta usia harapan hidup. Kurang Energi Protein (KEP) merupakan salah satu masalah gizi utama sejak Pelita I sempai dengan PElita VI yang banyak diderita oleh anak balita, ibu hamil dan ibu menyusui.

Judul: Aspek Sosial Ekonomi, Pemberian MP-ASI, dan Status Gizi Bayi di Kabupaten Bogor.
Abstrak: Indonesia masih mengalami masalah gizi ganda terutama pada usia dini. Pemberian MP-ASI yang kurang tepat disertai kejadian infeksi dapat menjadi faktor penyebab masalah gizi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aspek sosial ekonomi dan pemberian MP-ASI serta kaitannya dengan status gizi dan kesehatan bayi. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional study dengan sampel sebanyak 51 bayi. Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan sebanyak 68.6% bayi telah diberikan MP-ASI saat usianya kurang dari 6 bulan dengan 37.2% diantaranya telah menerima makanan prelakteal saat lahir. Kejadian stunting ditemukan pada 41.2% bayi. Sebanyak 31.4% bayi mengalami diare dan 58.8% mengalami ISPA dalam satu bulan terakhir. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan (p>0.05) antara sosial ekonomi keluarga dengan usia pemberian MP-ASI. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan bayi yang stunting telah diberikan MP-ASI sejak usia <6 bulan. Bayi dengan status gizi wasting dan underweight cenderung mengalami diare dalam satu bulan terakhir.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
