Judul: Pengaruh Budaya dan Persepsi Nilai Anak terhadap Perilaku Investasi Anak Kasus: Keluarga Perkebunan di Jambi
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh budaya dan persepsi nilai anak terhadap perilaku investasi anak. Pengambilan contoh dilakukan secara purposive dengan pertimbangan wilayah yang paling banyak jumlah balita serta petani karet. Contoh dalam penelitian ini adalah keluarga petani karet yang memiliki anak usia balita yang tinggal di Kecamatan Cermin nan Gedang, Sarolangun, Jambi. Kriteria contoh dalam penelitian ini yaitu keluarga dengan petani karet yang masih memiliki balita. Jumlah contoh dalam penelitian ini 60 keluarga petani getah karet. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara mewawancarai ibu menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perilaku investasi anak dipengaruhi secara positif signifikan oleh jumlah anak sekolah, , skor kolektivisme vs individualisme dan dipengaruhi secara negatif signifikan oleh skor nilai ekonomi. Variabel bebas yang diteliti 39.2 persen memengaruhi perilaku investasi anak sedangkan sisanya 60.8 persen dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain yang tidak diteliti seperti kondisi ekonomi keluarga (sejahtera atau tidak sejahtera), alokasi waktu dan alokasi uang.

Judul: Pengaruh Budaya terhadap Nilai Anak dan Perilaku Investasi Anak : Kasus pada Keluarga di Pedesaan Kabupaten Malang
Abstrak: Perilaku investasi anak merupakan faktor penting dalam menyiapkan anak berkualitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh budaya terhadap nilai anak dan perilaku investasi anak kasus pada keluarga di pedesaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 60 keluarga yang bekerja sebagai buruh dan memiliki anak usia prasekolah (3-5 tahun) di Desa Sukoanyar, Kecamatan Pakis, Kabupaten Malang yang dipilih secara purposive. Hasil penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa perilaku investasi anak pada keluarga di pedesaan Kabupaten Malang masih tergolong rendah. Hasil uji pengaruh terhadap nilai anak menunjukkan bahwa usia ibu berpengaruh terhadap nilai anak. Uji pengaruh terhadap perilaku investasi anak hasilnya adalah lama pendidikan ibu, status pekerjan ibu, pendapatan keluarga perkapita, jumlah anak sekolah, nilai anak dan budaya berpengaruh terhadap perilaku investasi anak.

Judul: Extracellular Expression of thermostable Geobacillus stearothermophilus T1.2RQ Lipase for Biodiesel Production
Abstrak: The extracellular expression of enzymes in an excellent secretion host such as Bacillus subtilis is a useful strategy for making enzymes of industrial significance more affordable by lowering the cost of its downstream processing. Lipases are a category of hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides to glycerol and free fatty acids. Also, lipases catalyze the hydrolysis and transesterification of other esters as well as the synthesis of esters. They can perform very specific biotransformation reactions and are widely used in food, organic synthesis, detergents, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Geobacillus stearothermophilus T1.2RQ lipase is an industrially-desired thermostable lipolytic enzyme with an excellent hydrolytic and transesterification activity. This study aimed to express T1.2RQ lipase, in B. subtilis WB800 and ensure its secretion into the extracellular medium. Three signal peptides (AmyQ, Epr, LipA) and two promoters (Pgrac01 and Pgrac100) were used in the secretory-expression of T1.2RQ lipase, based on five constructed expression vectors constructed by restriction cloning and PCR mutagenesis. Sangers sequencing was used to verify constructs to ensure they are in the correct reading frame. Recombinants vectors, pHT43 (plasmid control), pHT43-T1.2RQ, pHT43- T1.2RQ_AmyQ, pHT43-T1.2RQ_Epr, and pHT43-T1.2RQ_LipA, were transformed by electroporation into Bacillus subtilis WB800. The electroporation was successful with the optimum condition of 2500V, 200 ohms, 25µF, and 5milliseconds. Recombinant B. subtilis pHT43 (negative control) and pHT43-T1.2RQlip + signal peptides were streaked on the lipidic agar, LA+TBN. All four recombinants, including the negative control (B. subtilis WB800-pHT43), produced clear zones on the TBN agar plate after overnight incubation (fig 2), indicating the presence of a lipolytic enzyme in all of the recombinant B. subtilis cells. pHT43-T1.2RQlip + signal peptides (AmyQ, Epr, and LipA) have clear zones with significantly higher diameters than B. subtilis WB800-pHT43 (negative control). This phenomenon suggests that the recombinant thermostable lipase T1.2RQ introduced into these cells was successfully expressed, thereby increasing the lipolytic capability of its host cells T1.2RQ lipase was expressed in 50ml terrific broth medium (TB) and the expression induced with 1mM IPTG. Lipase activity assay using p-nitrophenyl esters showed that all three signal peptides directed the secretion of T1.2RQ lipase into the extracellular medium. Signal peptide, LipA, resulted in the highest extracellular activity of 5.6 U/mL, which corresponds to a 6-fold increase over the parent B. subtilis WB800 strain. Meanwhile, signal peptides, AmyQ and Epr produced 4.2 U/mL and 3.4 U/mL activity respectively. SDS-Zymogram analysis confirmed that T1.2RQ lipase was correctly processed and secreted in its original size of 44 kDa. An attempt to further increase lipase expression level by promoter optimization showed that, contrary to expectation, promoter Pgrac100 exhibited similar expression levels as the original Pgrac01. Nevertheless, the demonstration of the successful secretion of T1.2RQ lipase in this work confirms the latter as a promising approach for the industrial production of the enzyme
