Prospek Pemanfaatan Biji Pepaya sebagai Biomaterial Pengendali Populasi Tikus Liar melalui Mekanisme Antifertilitas

Tikus liar merupakan satwa liar yang paling sering bersosialisasi dengan masyarakat dan merupakan salah satu vektor serta penyebar penyakit yang beberapa diantaranya bersifat zoonosis. Pengendalian tikus liar sangat penting dilakukan guna mengurangi terjadinya penyakit zoonosis yang diakibatkan oleh hewan tersebut. Metode yang efektif digunakan sebagai pengendali populasi tikus liar adalah melalui mekanisme antifertilitas. Salah satu bahan yang memiliki mekanisme antifertilitas adalah biji pepaya. Kandungan saponin, flavonoid, alkaloid, dan papain pada biji pepaya terbukti memberikan efek infertil pada mencit dan tikus putih, dimana mencit dan tikus putih merupakan hewan yang semarga dengan tikus liar. Hewan yang semarga memiliki susunan anatomi dan fisiologis yang serupa, sehingga pengaruh antifertilitas tersebut menjadi sebuah prospek untuk mengembangkan biji pepaya sebagai biomaterial pengendali populasi tikus liar. Populasi tikus liar yang dihambat akan berdampak pada penurunan angka kejadian zoonosis dalam masyarakat

Aplikasi Desktop Pencarian Rute Jalan dengan Algoritma Simulated Annealling

Map is a tool to help people on finding a location. Map contains symbols that represented certain  area  or  location  and  also  contains  lines  that  connected  from  one  location  with another. Integrating technologies in map application is more useful than conventional map. The goal of this application is to help map user to find location or streets. Another goal is to know the performance of Simulated Annealing algorithm comparing with another search algorithm.  So,  Simulated Annealing  algorithm was  implemented  in  this  application.  This application was build using Java Technologies  that running  in Windows platform and  the programming  language  is Java. This map application data acquired  from OpenStreetMap and  subsequently  the data was converted  to PostGIS database. From all perfomance  test, Simulated Annealing algorithm have an accurary is about 50%. Even though this algorithm haven’t much accuration than the others, but this algorithm is fit to be implemented in any map application

Honda Nusantara Citra Pekanbaru. Promotion is affected by consumer interest with a value of R Square of R = 0.403, meaning is that the contribution of variable influence to variable interest konsuemen sale amounted to 40.3%, while the remaining 59.7% is influenced by other factors such as customer perception, behavior consumers and others.Keywords: marketing, promotion, consumer interes

ANALISIS SISTEM TATA UDARA DI DALAM KABIN KENDARAAN MINIBUS DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN PERANGKAT LUNAK COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

The aim of this research is to establish an analysis of an air conditioning system in a minibus vehicle cabin through some series of numerical simulations using a Computational Fluid Dynamics software. Two three-dimensional models of the vehicle were used in the simulations. The first model is a minibus without any passenger, and the second model is a minibus with seven passengers. In this research, the passenger model was considered as another cooling load source, therefore an analysis of the cooling effect experienced by passenger was not performed. A calculation of cooling load was also done to determine the maximum cooling load, using the weather data of Jakarta city throughout the year 2002. An experiment was done using an actual vehicle to validate the model. The maximum error of temperature reading between experiment and simulation was calculated and gave an acceptable maximum error of 10%. The simulation in this step was performed using the first model and steady calculation. A series of simulations were also done to analyze the air conditioning system performance under maximum cooling load. These simulations were done by varying the mass flow rates of the air entering the cabin, using the second model and transient calculations. The temperature and velocity contours acquired from these simulations were able to give good understanding of correlations between the factors influencing the air condition in the cabin

Pengaruh Penambahan Biovet dalam Ransum dengan Berbagai Kandungan Protein-Energi terhadap Pertumbuhan Anak Kelinci Rex

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of Biovet supplement in diets of different protein-energy to weight gain of Rex rabbit kit. The experiment used 112 kit of 28 Rex Rabbits at PT Fiva Bandung Rabitry, Pangkalan village, Sub districk Gambung-Ciwidey District Bandung in Completely Randomized Design 7 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were: R0: 18% CP and 2750 kcal/kg; DE R1: 16% CP, 2500 kcal/kg DE + 0% Biovet; R2: 16% CP, 2500 kcal/kg DE + 0,1% Biovet; R3: 16% CP, 2500 kcal/kg DE + 0,5% Biovet; R4: 14% CP, 2400 kcal/kg DE + 0% Biovet; R5: 14% CP, 2400 kcal/kg DE + 0,1% Biovet; and R6: 14% CP, 2400 kcal/kg DE + 0,5 % Biovet. Results showed that body weight gain, feed consumption, and conversion were similar to rabbits given biovet supplement in low quality diet

INDEKS MASSA TUBUH (IMT) SEBAGAI FAKTOR RISIKO PADA KECURIGAAN HERNIA NUKLEUS PULPOSUS (HNP) LUMBAL

ABSTRACT Background: Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) is a condition where nucleus pulposus protruded and pressed into canalis spinalis through teared anulus fibrosus. HNP most often affected L4-L5 or L5-S1 areas. Body mass index (BMI) is one of the risk factors that may causes the HNP. The excess BMI can affect the shape of the disc and cause an increase load on the intervertebral disc. Objectives: Knowing BMI as a risk factor on suspect HNP in the Neurological Outpatient Clinic at Abdul Manap Hospital Jambi City. Methods: This is an analitycal study using cross sectional design with 55 total samples. This study conducted in Neurological Outpatient Clinic at Abdul Manap Hospitals Jambi City from February-March 2017. Results: 53.3% patients suspected HNP have type 1 obesity and 86.7% patients suspected HNP have BMI ≥23 kg/m2. The excess BMI had significant correlation (p=0.049) on suspected HNP and patients with excess BMI have 3,656 times more risk developed suspect HNP. Conclusions: The results show there is a correlation (p=0.049) between excess BMI with suspected HNP in the Neurological Outpatient Clinic at Abdul Manap Hospital Jambi City from February-March 2017. Keywords: Suspect HNP, HNP Lumbal, BMI   ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Hernia Nukleus Pulposus (HNP) adalah keadaan dimana nukleus pulposus keluar menonjol untuk kemudian menekan ke arah kanalis spinalis melalui anulus fibrosus yang robek. HNP lumbal paling sering pada daerah L4-L5 atau L5-S1. Indeks massa tubuh (IMT) adalah salah satu faktor risiko yang dapat menyebabkan HNP. IMT berlebih dapat mempengaruhi bentuk corpus dan menimbulkan peningkatan beban pada diskus intervertebralis. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengetahui mengetahui IMT sebagai faktor risiko pada kecurigaan HNP lumbal di Poliklinik Penyakit Saraf RSUD Abdul Manap Kota Jambi. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik cross sectional  dengan total 55 sampel. Penelitian dilakukan di Poliklinik Penyakit Saraf RSUD Abdul Manap Kota Jambi pada Februari-Maret 2017 yang diambil secara accidental sampling. Hasil: 53,3% pasien kecurigaan HNP lumbal adalah obese 1 dan 86,7% pasien kecurigaan HNP lumbal memiliki IMT ≥23 kg/m2. IMT berlebih mempunyai hubungan yang bermakna (p = 0,049) terhadap kecurigaan HNP lumbal dan pasien dengan IMT berlebih 3,656 kali lebih berisiko mengalami kecurigaan HNP lumbal. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna (p=0,049) antara IMT berlebih dengan kecurigaan HNP lumbal di Poliklinik Penyakit Saraf RSUD Abdul Manap Kota Jambi pada Februari-Maret 2017.

Citizens Journalism Based on Website for Digital Literacy

A practice of citizens journalism is an alternative form in a process of journalistic work to present information and news which are quick and accurate. Moreover, the advance in technology of communication and information seems to open up the very wide chance toward the practice of citizens journalism though the quality demand is also expected to be better. This things also cannot be separated from the demand that the citizens literacy in having media, especially the digital iteracy, can be better. In this case, Kompasiana as one of media for citizens journalism offers chance to Kompasianers to invlove. This meet poin of both two actors (citizens and media) can be a combination model which is profitable for tboth of them in order to present the practice of citizens journalisme with good quality as well as an effort to improve the literacy of citizens.     Keywords: Citizens Journalism, Kompasiana, Digital Literac
