Judul: Ecological Movement as the Manifestation of Theological Value (Case Study in the Pesantren Al Amin, Sukabumi, and Pesantren Daarul Ulum Lido, Bogor)
Abstrak: Pesantren is an indigenous Islamic based education institution in Indonesia. Currently, some of the Pesantren in Indonesia began to address ecological issues in their curricula as well as in their daily life. This research attempts to portray and explore the dynamic of ecological movement in the Pesantren with Kyai (Guru), Santri (student) and Quran (holy book) as the prime focus of analysis. In this study, the ecological movement in Pesantren is perceived as a manifestation of their meaning process toward the construction of ecological theology. The study was carried out in two Pesantren i.e. the Al-Amin of Sukabumi and the Darul Ulum Lido of Bogor. Al-Amin is a traditional type of boarding school where informal relations and traditional leadership coloring the daily life of Pesantren. Meanwhile, Daarul Ulum Lido is a portrait of modern Pesantren that merge or combine formal-based public education and religious-based education with formal relations and rational-legal type of leadership becomes the identity. The results show that the ecological movement in both Pesantren was manifested differently due to two important factors. First, the interpretation, meaning and construction of Islamic theological ecology in each Pesantren are solely based upon the knowledge and spiritual reflection of the Kyai. Second, the conservation knowledge developed in each Pesantren is also a result of relations and knowledge exchange between Pesantren and external actors. Different meaning of conservation that adopted by external actors could differentiate the manifestation of ecological movement in Pesantren. In Pesantren Al Amin, their interpretation and meaning to ecological theology are manifested in tree planting. Meanwhile, at Pesantren Darul Ulum Lido, it is manifested in the form of harim zone (no take zone). This Darul Ulum type of conservation is a result of their close relations and interaction with an international conservation NGO. Though seems preliminary and need more evidences, the ecological movement in Pesantren shows a positive direction towards the deep ecology movement.

Judul: Desain ekopesantren dalam kerangka pembangunan berkelanjutan
Abstrak: Developing environmental awareness among Muslims in Indonesia is an important effort and should continue to get attention. There was no resistance in the Islamic scholars in Indonesia when talking about environmental issues, because they had seen very severe environmental damage and disasters in Indonesia. This dissertation tries to formulate a design for the environmentally friendly Islamic Boarding School Program (Ecopesantren) on the framework of sustainable development. The research conducted in purposive sampling to the three Pesantren in West Java and Banten Province, was done at the leading pesantren (Pesantren Induk) in both provinces: Daar El Qolaam, Banten, Al Musaddadiyah, Garut and Pesantren Buntet, Cirebon. The research was conducted using complex pairs of research series such as Participatory Action Research (PAR), Institutional Development Framework (IDF), Non-Parametric Spearman Correlation, Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), Interpretative Structural Modelling (ISM) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). In general, the findings show that according to the IDF index (I) for institutional and resource management, human resources, external resources, and financial resources, all the three institutions scale ranges at the IDF(I) 3- 4, which shows that the institution was mature and sustainable. But for the activities related to environmental programs the index IDF (I) points on a scale of 1-2 which refers to the early stages. On the other hand the status of environmental awareness in all the students indicated that they have moderate level of sustainable development awareness (mean=3.86; sd=0.86). They also believe Islam teaches about environment -- Islamic environmentalism – guiding to good practice towards the environment (90.38%). The expert survey suggests that the purpose of the ecopesantren program should mainstream the social and cultural aspect (AHP=0.443), it also recommends that the government (Ministry of Environment – MoE) has an important role (AHP=0.301) in supporting the ecopesantren program. The MoE can initiate the formation of a "National Ecopesantren Team (TNE)" in cooperation with local governments and institutions , in order to initiate a national program of ecopesantren. On the other hand, it is necessary for the pesantren internally to form an “environmental task force” that is responsible for creating programs tailored to local environment-related issues and priorities. Besides the capacitybuilding necessary to transform the ecopesantren program, it is necessary to perform monitoring and evaluation of a tailored action plan that can achieve the targets set.

Judul: Optimasi Pemurnian Protein Kapang Endofit CgKTm 5F  sebagai Inhibitor RNA Helikase Virus Hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C adalah salah satu penyakit yang menyebabkan peradangan hati. Obat atau vaksin yang efektif untuk pengobatan hepatitis C belum diketahui. Penemuan terapi target molekular NS3 helikase memiliki potensi sebagai salah satu cara untuk penghambatan penyakit hepatitis C. Penghambat NS3 helikase yang memiliki nilai kemurnian yang tinggi masih belum didapatkan sehingga diperlukan penelitian untuk mengoptimasi teknik pemurnian kapang endofit CgKTm 5F sebagai penghambat RNA helikase virus hepatitits C. Pemurnian kapang endofit CgKTm 5F dilakukan dengan menggunakan beberapa macam teknik kromatografi, yaitu gel filtrasi, penukaran ion, hidrofobik dan kromatografi lapis tipis. Kromatografi gel filtrasi dengan sephadex G-50 dan eluen etanol 30% memiliki aktivitas inhibisi tertinggi (89,45%) pada fraksi ke-10. Analisis SDSPAGE menunjukkan bahwa kapang endofit CgKTm 5F adalah pita tunggal sebesar 13,97 kDa dan aktivitas spesifik sebesar 3.62x10-5 U/mg serta persen kemurnian sebesar 99,93%. Kemurnian ini 20x lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan penelitian sebelumnya sebesar 5,83 %.
