Judul: Perbaikan Karakter Agronomis Buru Hotong (Setaria italica (L.) Beauv) melalui Irradiasi Sinar Gamma
Abstrak: Buru Hotong (Setaria Italica (L.) Beauv) is potential source of food that has not been developed in Indonesia. The plants is in the family Gramineae and a self-pollinated crops. Buru hotong is a type of grasses, have a small seed, and green seed color at early stage and light brown when mature. Althought the nutrient content of buru hotong is very good, but the productivity is low. The plant also has a very high height. Lowering the plant staments a held and can be improve by mutation. The objectives of the research were to study the radiosensitivity of buru hotong to gamma ray irradiation, to obtain information on genetic variation of M2 and M3 populations. Seeds were exposed to gamma ray irradiation at the Center for Biological Resources and Biotechnology, Bogor Agricultural University and the field experiments were conducted at the field station of Bogor Agricultural University. To determine the radiosensitivity, the seeds of buru hotong was treated with gamma ray irradiation at 50 gray, 100 gray, 150 gray, 200 gray, 400 gray, 600 gray, and 800 gray. The M1 population were grown and observe for mortality to determine the radiosensitivity. The results of the observation on M1 showed that gamma ray irradiation gave different responses in germination percentage at each dosage of irradiation. The LD50 for buru hotong was found to be at 342,39 Gy. M2 populations were grown and observed for variability. The results showed that low dose of gamma rays irradiation produced genetic variability of agronomic characters in the M2 generation.

Abstrak: Characteritation of ten wheat introduced genotypes and two varieties of wheat in two seasons and elevations showed different responses tested at any observed agronomical characters. Agronomical and physiological characters with high heritability estimated value and wide genetic variability were plant height, spikelet number and flag leaf area. There were five traits that directly affected seed weight/plant namely number of seeds/spike, number of seeds/plant, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll characters. Index genotype sensitivity to high temperatures vary greatly based on the character were observed, the yield character of OASIS/SKAUZ//4 * BCN Var-28 genotype had a medium tolerance in two seasons. The G-21 and LAJ tolerance can be selected based on weight of seeds/spike, chlorophyll b, and yield characters, while Oasis tolerance can be selected based on the length of spike and grain weight/plant (2010). Genotype Oasis, H-21, and LAJ, Basribey tolerance can be selected based on the weight of seeds/plant and seed weight/spike. The Interaction of genotype x season x elevation significantly affected plant height, days of flowering, number of spikelet, number of floret, seed weight/spike, seed filling rate, yield, flag leaf area, stomata density, chlorophyll b and the leaves greeness characters. There only the location x genotype interactions affected the harvest, percent floret sterile, the number of seeds/panicle, 1000 grain weight, number and weight malai/m2 seeds/plants. Two genotypes had higher yield than comparable varieties Selayar the Basribey (2.00 t.ha-1) and Alibey (2.13 t.ha-1) in both elevation and two seasons. The HP 1744 is a stable genotype (1.75 t.ha-1), H-21 (1.82 t.ha-1) and varieties Selayar (1.92 t.ha-1). The results showed that the orientation of dose dose> 400 gy cause seedling growth under stress and cause the sprouts do not contain chlorophyll. Dose of 300 gy field research led to the death of 50% of the population in the irradiated plants. Gamma ray irradiation at 300 gy dose did not show significant effect on all the characters in M1 plants. The genetic diversity of the population appears M2 of all strains were irradiated. The characters that unaffected by the season, but only by the location x genotype interactions were the harvest time, percent of hollow floret, the number of seeds/spike, 1000 grain weight, number of spike/m2 and seed weight/plant. Basribey (2.00 t.ha-1) and Alibey (2.13 t.ha-1) genotypes had higher yield than comparator varieties (Selayar) in both elevations and two seasons. The stable genotype were HP 1744 (1.75 t.ha -1), H-21 (1.82 t.ha-1) and Selayar (1.92 t.ha-1) varieties. The results of orientation dose showed that the > 400 gy dosage caused seedling growth experienced stress and the sprouts did not contain chlorophyll. Dose of 300 gy on field research led to the death of 50% of the irradiated plant population. Gamma ray irradiation with dose of 300 gy did not show significant effect on all the characters in M1 plants. The character with moderate to wide genetic variability was harvest time. The number of hollow floret had wide genetic variability excepting in M2 population derived from Selayar varieties. The form of M3 populations at >1000 m asl was better than < 400 m

Judul: Measurement of consciousness in dreaming in adults  using lucid scale
Abstrak: Tidur adalah keadaan saat otak tidak mengolah informasi dari neuron sensorik dan tidak memberi perintah ke neuron motorik. Ketika tidur seseorang bermimpi di mana kesadaran berubah karena otak membangun dunia maya dengan gambaran yang nyata dan tidak dapat kita identifikasi sebagai halusinogen. Lucid dream atau mimpi sadar berkaitan dengan peningkatan konektivitas fungsional antara korteks prefrontal dan area asosiasi temporoparietal. Kedua wilayah ini biasanya dinonaktifkan selama tidur dan pengaktifannya menyebabkan lucid dream di mana orang sadar bahwa pengalaman saat ini adalah milik mimpi. Kita dapat mengukur kesadaran dalam bermimpi dengan menggunakan lucid scale. Namun demikian, Voss et al. (2013) tidak menentukan seberapa skala yang menjadi batas apakah seseorang itu lucid dreamer atau bukan. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah seorang lucid dreamer itu mempunyai skala lucidity yang lebih tinggi daripada orang yang non-lucid dreamer. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pada responden dewasa metode pengukuran lucid scale berlaku sebagai indikator lucid dreamer untuk responden laki-laki namun metode ini tidak berlaku untuk responden perempuan. Skala lucidity berkaitan dengan kemampuan penalaran pada laki-laki, tetapi tidak demikian halnya pada perempuan.
