Abstrak: Gunung Halimun Salak National Park is the largest mountainous tropical rainforest remaining in Java island and it is an important habitat for the preservation of javan gibbon (Hylobates moloch Audebert 1798), an endemic primate in Java island. A study of posture and locomotion of javan gibbon is needed considering within their daily activities, javan gibbon using different spatial habitat structure and therefor the information is important as reference to make a better decision in conserving habitat and population of javan gibbon based on aspect of behavioral and ecology. This study was conducted in an area of Cikaniki – Citalahab, Gunung Botol resort for one month (June – July 2012). Equipments used in the study were range finder, binoculars, phi bands, compass, camera, stationery and stopwatch as a tools. Data were collected from two groups of well-habituated javan gibbon, named group A and B, by using scan and focal animal sampling in order to get collected behavioral data. Profile diagram of the habitat was also developed. To determine home range, convex polygon and fixed kernel 95% were applied. The mean active period of javan gibbon was 9 hours at 07.35 am – 4.50 pm and dominated by resting activity for 48.18%. The dominant locomotor type during their active period was brachiation with frequency and duration of 46,07 – 79,33% and 11,52 – 15,26 hours. Meanwhile the percentage of sitting posture type with frequency and duration was 72,78% - 84,12% and 11,12 – 19,04 hours. There was 24 species of trees used as locomotion mediums and 16 trees for postures. The most dominant species was puspa (Schima wallichii) with most dominant family was from family Fagaceae. The percentage of crown covers for the two groups was 62.2%. Alleged average daily range during the observation time of 641.96 m group A while group B of 1278.18 m. Calculations with FK 95% giving an average cruising area of 50.27 ha, while the 100% MCP method gives an average cruising area of 24.38 ha. Analysis of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), wide ranges of the study group had a mean - average of 25.65 ha for the analysis of the MCP and 53.25 ha for FK analysis results with 95%. Result of posture and locomotor study could be used as consideration to design of ex situ conservation area of javan gibbon beyond, that includes also habitat enrichment. Map of the daily movements and home ranges of Javan gibbon can be used as supporting data for the object ecotourism attractions of special interest, education and research. Also, it can be a reference park managers in monitoring the presence of a controlling Javan gibbon habitat

Judul: Studi Perilaku Bersuara Owa Jawa (Hylobates Moloch Audebert, 1798) Di Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak, Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: The Javan Gibbon (Hylobates moloch Audebert, 1798) is a endemic primate of Java. This species dependent on high continous canopy in low land and mountain rain forests. Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP) has the largest primary rain forest left on Java and regarded as the remaining stronghold for Javan Gibbon. One of their special charactheristic is calling behavior that have several functions like spacing among groups. The aims of the research are to knowing daily activities patterns and types of vocal bouts in Javan Gibbon also to identified the factors that influenced their calling behavior. The research can be considered as an action to perfecting informations in population management of Javan Gibbon and in the interest of ecotourism activities at GHSNP. The research was conducted in Cikaniki to Citalahab for two months from July until August 2008. The equipments were used are camera, binocular, dry-wet thermometer, microphone, SAFA Z300 digital recorder, range finder, tallysheet and stationery. The objects are two groups of Javan Gibbon (Hylobates moloch Audebert, 1798). Monitoring was done with scan sampling method and to collecting data used continous recording method. Spectogram from Spectogram 16 software used for analysing acoustic data. Daily activities of Javan Gibbon consist of four primary activities that are eating, moving, resting and social activities such as grooming, playing and calling with mean active time 11 hours. Calling behavior happened all day in their active time, but mostly around 10:00–11:00 AM. This species used total of 25 different calling trees with average height 23 meters and they are often using Rasamala (Altingia excelsa). Body postures while Javan Gibbon calling are sitting, hanging, jumping and standing. Five types of vocal bouts are female song bout, male song bout, harassing call bout, border conflict call bout and infant call bout. Female song bout were heard in the morning around 07:00-08:00 AM with mean duration seven minutes and acoustic frequency 0-3 KHz. Mean duration of male song bout is 12 minutes and 36 seconds with the acoustic frequency 0-1,6 KHz. Harassing call bout mostly heard around 10:00-11:00 AM with mean duration 15 seconds and acoustic frequency 0,4-1,3 KHz. Mean duration of border conflict call bout is 12 minutes with acoustic frequency 0-6,5 KHz. Infant call bout given as a response when the infant needed protection from their mother. It has mean duration eight seconds with acoustic frequency 5,2-8,1 KHz. Conclusions from this research are Javan Gibbon have four primary activities that consists of eating, moving, resting and social activities with mean duration of active time 11 hours and calling time of Javan Gibbon most happened on 10:00 AM. Five types of vocal bouts are female song bout, male song bout, harassing call bout, border conflict call bout and infant call bout. Factors that influenced of calling behavior are size of group, existence number of neighbouring group, weather, food resources, threatened and disturbing habitat.

Judul: Sintesis nanopartikel Cu2ZnSnS4 menggunakan teknik hidrotermal
Abstrak: Nanopartikel Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) merupakan semikonduktor yang berpotensi sebagai fotokatalis untuk reaksi fotodegradasi zat pewarna. Semikonduktor ini memiliki sela pita yang jauh lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan semikonduktor TiO2, sehingga memungkinkan dapat berkerja hanya dengan paparan sinar matahari. Nanopartikel Cu2ZnSnS4 telah berhasil disintesis menggunakan teknik hidrotermal dengan suhu 200 oC selama 24 jam. Larutan Cu2ZnSnS4 dinetralkan menggunakan amonium hidroksida dan dialiri gas N2 sebelum proses hidrotermal. Hasil analisis mikroskop elektron pemayaran menunjukkan nanopartikel Cu2ZnSnS4 mengalami aglomerasi karena memiliki ukuran partikel yang besar. Hasil analisis difraktogram sinar-X menunjukkan bahwa Cu2ZnSnS4 yang dihasilkan memiliki struktur kesterit dengan senyawa fase sekunder yang terbentuk adalah CuS, ZnS, dan Cu2SnS3. Hasil uji fotodegradasi menunjukkan bahwa senyawa hasil sintesis memiliki kemampuan degradasi dibawah sinar matahari lebih baik dibandingkan dengan TiO2. Namun, pada paparan sinar UV, TiO2 mendegradasi biru metilena lebih baik daripada senyawa hasil sintesis. Kapasitas adsorbsi terhadap biru metilena sebesar 2.6780 mg/g menunjukkan bahwa senyawa hasil sintesis tidak mampu mengadsorpsi dengan baik, sehingga disimpulkan bahwa hilangnya biru metilena dari larutan disebabkan oleh fotodegradasi, bukan oleh adsorpsi
