This study aims to investigate the thermo-physical and morphological morphology of cornhusk fiber-reinforced polyester composites. The content of corn husk fiber (CHFs) has been varied, namely 20, 30, 40, and 50 (% vol.) in the polyester composite, respectively. The hot press technique has been used in the manufacture of these composites, then properties were investigated through thermo-physical tests including differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, Fourier transforms infrared, impact strength properties, and morphology using SEM. The results showed that the composite containing 30% CHF (KJP2) was found to have the most optimal impact strength (4.25 KJ/m 2 ), and the best thermal resistance properties were found in the KJP3 composite, compared with other composites; due to CHF dispersion and good interfacial adhesion between CHF and polyester. SEM images of the fracture of the impact test specimens of the composites show better interfacial bonding between CHFs and polyester.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), the causative agent of koi herpesvirus disease, is a major threat for carp populations in many countries worldwide, including Indonesia. It has been shown that many genotypes circulate worldwide, all highly related to one of the two known lineages U/I and J. In this study, we evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution of CyHV-3 strains in a small enzootic area, the lake of Cirata (West Java, Indonesia). Of the 365 samples analysed, from clinical or asymptomatic fish, 244 were found positive for CyHV-3, suggesting a high occurrence of the virus. Genotyping of these viral specimens with a range of molecular markers revealed the presence of numerous haplotypes in the host population, all related to the J lineage. In single individuals, mixed-genotype infections occurred at high frequency. The present results demonstrate that polymorphic molecular markers are suitable to monitor the genetic evolution of a viral population in an enzootic area.

The Indonesian fat-tailed sheep (IFTS) is a local sheep that has been long time raised and well adapted to the extreme environments of Lombok Island. The present study was conducted to determine the polymorphism of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1B (BMPR-1B) gene and its association with litter size in the IFTS breed by employing forced polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods in the IFTS. Polymorphism of BMPR-1B genes on IFTS population were identified by the forced PCR-RFLP methods. The result of this study showed that mutation of BMPR-1B gene resulted in two allele of wild type (+) and mutan allele (B) with frequencies of 0.807 and 0.193, respectively and three genotype of BB (110 bp/110 bp), B+ (110 bp/140 bp), and ++ (140 bp/140 bp) with almost unequal frequencies distribution of 0.060, 0.268, and 0.672. Genetic diversity of BMPR-1B genes caused different litter sizes on individual IFTS. A highly significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in the average of litter size in different genotypes. The highest average of litter size was found in the genotype of BB, that is, 1.685 lambs.

Implementation of Information Technology (IT) governance which is expected to enable the optimization of IT resources in order to achieve the organiztion's vision and mission. BPMPTSP Bone Bolango as one of the government organization has used IT for the process in permission services. In this research the first step is identify the objectives and processes from BPMPTSP. The second step is map the result from first step into COBIT 5 framework. The result from the mapping process is "Optimisation of IT Assets, Resources and Capabilities" in COBIT 5 which becomes the object of research.

Background: The current outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic distorts not only the physical, but also mental and psychological condition of healthcare providers, especially the nurses who directly working with the COVID-19 patients. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of depression, anxiety and stress among nurses working in a COVID-19 referral hospital in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A self-administered questionnaire, DASS21, along with the demographic questions was used to screen the presence of psychological problems and their associated factors. Results: the prevalence of moderate to extremely severe depression, anxiety and stress was 8.7%, 20.7% and 5.8%, respectively. The prevalence rate was significantly higher among those with financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 10.5%, 23.5% and 8.1% for depression, anxiety and anxiety (P<.05), respectively. Regression analysis confirmed that these mental problems were associated with the experience of social rejection, either by family or neighbor, because they were working in the hospital during the pandemic. Conclusions: The financial hardship experienced by the nurses during disease pandemic increases their burden of mental illness therefore, providing the financial subsidiary might reduce their financial uncertainty. Furthermore, the motivation to have a positive attitude toward the pandemic, promotion of healthy behavior such as the use of face mask and the provision of sufficient information on the diseases, may help them properly manage their mental distress.

Calpain-1 gene (CAPN1) produces an calpain enzyme controlling structure of meat protein and tenderness. The aims of this study were to identify Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in exon 5 and 6 of CAPN1 gene and its associate with carcass and meat characteristic traits in bali cattle. A total of 48 bali cattles from BPTU-HMT Bali Cattle, Bali Province were used in the research. SNP in exon 5 and 6 of CAPN1 gene were identify with direct sequencing using MEGA 5 program. Analysis of polymorphism was conducted by PopGen 1.32 software to identify frequencies of genotype, allele and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The association of CAPN1 gene genotype with carcass and meat characteristic traits was analyzed using Generalized Linear Model (GLM) procedure of SAS. Sequencing analysis at exon 5-6 of CAPN1 gene in Bali cattle resulted in eight polymorphic SNPs. They are c.3669T>C, c.3854G>A, c.3881T>C, c.3899C>T, c.3908C>G, c.4002C>A, c.4021G>T and c.4037A>C. The SNPs c.3669T>C, c.3854G>A and c.3899C>T were significantly (P<0.05) associated with rump thickness (RT), rump fat thickness (RFT) and marbling score (MS), while SNP c.4037A>C was not significantly associated with carcass and meat characteristic traits. The SNPs were significantly associated with carcass and meat characteristic traits namely c.3669T>C, c.3854G>A and c.3899C>T. Those SNPs may be used as candidate marker for Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) in bali cattle.

Seiring perkembangan teknologi dan keinginan program studi teknik informatika untuk mengembangkan layanan terhadap mahasiswa, informasi yang diperoleh melalui sistem informasi dan chatting yang dilakukan antara pengguna dengan pihak Virtual Assistant. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun chatbot yang mempunyai tujuan sebagai Virtual Assistant yang memberikan informasi kepada mahasiswa melalui data yang tersimpan pada sistem yang berisi informasi mengenai program studi teknik informatika dan penambahan pengetahuan baru apabila data yang tersimpan tidak ditemukan. Pada perancangan dan implementasi perangkat lunak ini menghasilkan sebuah prototipe Chatbot yang dibangun dengan menggunakan mesin ALICE sebagai penerjemah AIML. AIML ini menyebabkan Chatbot dapat mengintegrasikan input yang diterima berupa input text. Sehingga akan dihasilkan percakapan antara pengguna dan program. Dengan pemanfaatan chatbot yang telah dilengkapi dengan informasi berupa audio, membuat pengguna dapat lebih mudah mendapatkan informasi yang berasal dari database yang diinformasikan kepada pengguna. Dari hasil pengujian verifikasi, pengujian validitas dan pengujian prototipe yang dilakukan sistem berjalan dengan baik sesuai dengan perencanaan.
