PERBANDINGAN KUAT TEKAN DAN LENTUR BETON MENGGUNAKAN AGREGAT KABUPATEN KUTAI BARAT TERHADAP AGREGAT PALU

Kebutuhan agregat untuk material beton di Kalimantan Timur sebagian besar berasal dari luar daerah, salah satunya dari daerah Palu. Sedangkan masyarakat di Kabupaten Kutai Barat seringkali memanfaatkan material lokal sebagai bahan beton yaitu, agregat kasar dari daerah Muara asa dan agregat halus dari daerah Keay. dikarenakan ketersediaan material tersebut masih banyak. Oleh karena perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang pemanfaatan material lokal yang ada di daerah Kalimantan Timur saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kuat tekan beton dengan membandingkan penggunaan material daerah Palu dengan material kombinasi daerah Kutai Barat. Benda uji yang berbentuk silinder beton dengan ukuran 10 cm x 20 cm dan kuat lentur beton yang digunakan berbentuk balok dengan ukuran 60 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm. Pembuatan mix design  menggunakan metode SNI serta umur beton 7 hari dan 28 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kuat tekan variasi Palu dan Palu mendapatkan hasil optimum yaitu 16,04 MPa (7 hari) dan 20,7 MPa (28 hari). Dan kuat lentur beton mendapatkan hasil optimum pada variasi Muara Asa dan Keay 3,62 MPa (28 hari). Kata kunci : Material Lokal, Kuat Tekan Beton, Kuat Lentur BetonCOMPARISON OF CONCRETE COMPRESSSIVE AND FLEXIBLE STRENGTH USING AGGREGATE IN WEST KUTAI TOWARD PALU AGGREGATEThe aggregate demand for concrete materials in East Kalimantan mostly comes from outside the region, one of which is from the Palu area. Meanwhile, people in West Kutai Regency often use local materials as concrete materials, namely, coarse aggregate from the Muara Asa area and fine aggregate from the Keay area. Due to the availability of the material is still a lot. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the use of local materials in the East Kalimantan area at this time. This study aims to determine the compressive strength of concrete by comparing the use of materials from the Palu area with a combination of materials from the West Kutai area. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a size of 10 cm x 20 cm and the flexural strength of the concrete used is in the form of a beam with a size of 60 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm. Making mix designs using the SNI method and the age of concrete is 7 days and 28 days. The results showed that the compressive strength of the Palu and Palu variations obtained optimum results, namely 16.04 MPa (7 days) and 20.7 MPa (28 days). And the flexural strength of the concrete got optimum results at variations of Muara Asa and Keay 3.62 MPa (28 days).

Pengaruh Pemberian Jahe Merah (Zingiber Officinale Var Rubrum) Terhadap Kadar Kolesterol Total Wanita Dislipidemia

Latar Belakang : Dislipidemia merupakan gangguan metabolisme lipoprotein yang salah satunya ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar kolesterol total yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya aterosklerosis. Jahe merah mengandung flavonoid dan polifenol memiliki efek hipokolesterol dapat menekan aktivitas enzim HMG-KoA reduktase sehingga dapat mengurangi biosintesis kolesterol total. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian jahe merah terhadap kadar kolesterol total wanita dislipidemia.Metode : Jenis penelitian ini adalah true experimental dengan rancangan control group pre test – post test. Subjek adalah wanita usia 30-50 tahun yang memiliki kadar kolesterol total sebesar 200–249 mg/dl. Kelompok dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol dan perlakuan dengan 15 subjek tiap kelompok.

Sedangkan kelompok kontrol terdapat kenaikan kolesterol total dari 223,2 ± 12,27 menjadi 235,13 ± 29,43 (p=0.09).Simpulan : Pemberian minuman jahe merah sebanyak 3,2 ml/kg BB per hari selama 21 hari dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total secara signifikan

PERTUMBUHAN JAMUR PADA MEDIA BIJI KLUWIH DAN BIJI NANGKA SEBAGAI SUBSTITUSI MEDIA PDA

THE GROWTH OF FUNGUS IN KLUWIH AND NANGKA SEEDS MEDIA AS A SUBSTITUTION PDA MEDIA. Resti Rahmawati, A420120048, Department of Biology Education, School of Teacher Training and Education, Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta, March, XVI+32 ABSTRACT PDA is the most media to grow the fungus, but the price of this media is expensive so it need an alternative media that easy and cheap to get it. This study aims to determine the growth of Aspergillus niger in alternative kluwih and nangka seeds media. This research was an experimental study using a completely randomized design (CRD) one factor was the type of media is PDA (M0), kluwih seed media (M1), nangka seed media (M2) and using the test fungus A. niger (J1). Inoculation of A. niger used agar block method for 3 days with a temperature of 28⁰C. Parameter of research was colony diameter and sporulation of A. niger. Data were analyzed with descriptive qualitative methods. The result of this research showed that the best growth for Aspergillus niger was after 72 hours incubation, colony diameter continually in PDA media, kluwih seed media, nangka seed media is 4,7 cm, 4,3 cm, 4,1 cm with heavy sporulation. So, the conclution is that kluwih and nangka seeds media can be use as a substitution of PDA media for the growth of fungus. Keyword : kluwih and nangka seeds, Aspergillus niger, PDA

The Role of Cooperative in The Milk Value Chain in West Bandung Regency, West Java Province

The objective of the study was to evaluate the capacity of Northern Bandung Dairy Farmer Cooperative (KPSBU) to support farmers in producing good quality milk within the milk value chain in West Bandung Regency, West Java. The study used qualitative research strategies including desk study, case study, and focus group discussions. The study compared the involvement of three milk collecting actors that were classified into large cooperative (KPSBU), small cooperative (KUD Puspa Mekar), and private company (Bina Kitri Bersama). A total of 18 dairy farmers, 3 milk collecting actors, 2 milk processors, and one livestock officer were interviewed. Three focus group discussions were conducted. The large cooperative performed better in services, milk collection, and milk quality assessment compared to other milk collecting actors. Members’ commitment, inconsistent milk quality, and shortage of good quality fodder were the hindering factors that influenced the collection of good quality milk in the large cooperative. In conclusion, the large cooperative had better performance in service provision, it also had better infrastructures in milk collection and milk quality assessment compared to other milk collecting actors. Increasing the milk quality standard by milk processing companies affected the milk price since 2000.
