Microalgae's high protein content makes them an attractive feedstock for aquaculture feed applications. However, an economical and effective mass cultivation is essential for greater feasibility in microalgal-based aquaculture applications. Therefore, in this research the utilization of wastewater for microalgal cultivation using two local species of Chlamydomonas sp. UKM6 and Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 were discussed with particular attention to the feasibility of utilizing POME as microalgal growth medium for the production of bulk biomass. The growth rate for Chlamydomonas sp. UKM6 and Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 grown in Bold's Basal Media (BBM) were found higher (0.2829, 0.4045 day-1) than in POME (0.160, 0.255 day-1). Their biomass were then applied as zooplankton enrichment feed for Daphnia magna and then subsequently for feeding fish larvae. The result shown that enriched Daphnia using Scenedesmus sp. UKM9 microalgae promotes better growth, survival and fecundity of fish larvae (P>0.05) than the control diet using dried yeast. Thus, this research indicating the feasibility of culturing microalgae using wastewater as a means to reduce the cost of production is possible and therefore can be applied in aquaculture feed industries.

In this research, the ability of papaya tree trunks as nanocellulose adsorbent for dyes removal was conducted. The synthesis of nanocellulose is carried out in several steps, including isolation of cellulose using the extraction method, immersion with a variety of alkaline bases, namely KOH, KOH+NH3, and KOH+Na2CO3 and synthesis of nanocellulose by hydrolysis reaction. The adsorption process was carried out in batch method, by contacting the nanocellulose adsorbent with the dye, then filtered and observed the change in concentration using UV-Vis. Meanwhile, to observe the functional groups contained in the nanocellulose obtained from synthesis of papaya tree stems FTIR result was evaluated. The results showed that all cellulose-forming groups (CO, CH2, CH) were present in synthesis nanocellulose in accordance with those of the commercial. The synthesis results with variations in the alkaline base which the closest to commercial yield was the variation with the alkaline KOH base. In addition, determination of adsorption performance of ones is compared with performance of commercial nanocellulose.

The post-harvest process very much determines the quality and quantity of rice. The utilization of agricultural machinery in rice milling is one solution in maintaining rice quality. The most commonly used husker machine is a rubber roll type. This study aims to calculate the efficiency of huskers and the quality of rice. The parameters measured to analyze the efficiency of the milling machine and the quality of rice are the weight of unhulled rice to be milled, the weight of milled rice, and the time for milling the grain to become rice. The results showed that the husker efficiency at 1,237 rpm rotation speed was 46.3%, at 1,354 rpm was 46.7% and at 1,395 rpm was 46.6%. The quality of rice produced at a rotation speed of 1237 rpm, 70.03% whole grains, 3.58% broken grains, 1.51% groats. For 1,354 rpm, the rotation speed is 67.75%, broken grains 5.16%, and groats 2.89%. While at the rotation speed of 1,395 rpm, the percentage of broken grains was 56.26%, broken grains 4.80%, groats 1.27%.

Cancer is one of the primary causes of death in the world and the prevalence in Indonesia reaches 1,4% per year. One method of the most developed cancer therapies right now is targeting drug delivery. Targeting drug delivery makes it possible for drugs to be delivered directly to the targeted cells and released once they reach the destination. The aim of this research is to develop a nanocarrier using folic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles to improve the effectiveness of antitumor drugs for cancer therapy. The magnetic nanoparticles synthesis method used in this research is chemical synthesis. chemical materials FeCl3 and FeCl2 are mixed with NH4OH until magnetic nanoparticles appear. The magnetic nanoparticles obtained are then coated using bovine serum albumin, loaded with the drug doxorubicin, and functionalized with folic acid. The characterization methods used are Brine Shrimp Lethal Test (BSLT), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), and MTT Assay. The success of drug release test is performed using UV-Vis. The results of this research showed that the magnetic nanoparticles were non-toxic with no impurities, but had not passed the size requirement as a good nanocarrier. Drug release in acidic pH, which is 5.4, had the highest release rate, thus it would be suitable for cancer cells which have lower pH compared to normal cells. Cytotoxicity test using MTT Assay method with murine osteoblastic cell line MC3T3 cells showed quite high cell viability, so it will not affect normal tissues and cells. It can be concluded that folic acid-functionalized, doxorubicin-loaded magnetic nanoparticles have potential to be used as nanocarrier in drug delivery system.

The Bili-Bili Reservoir is located in the middle of the Jeneberang watershed in South Sulawesi Province, which was built for flood control, irrigation, raw water supply, and hydroelectric power plants. However, in the latest development, there has been a decline in utilization of the reservoir service function due to changes in the catchment area condition because of sediment. Estimation of sediment concentration in the Bili-bili reservoir was analyzed using spectrometer data. Estimation of Total Suspended Sediment (TSS) using a spectrometer by reflectance testing of the ratio between bands with various regression equations. Algorithm estimation of TSS concentration based on spectrometer measurements provides a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.800 and an RMS error of 0.088, with a 3rd order polynomial equation for the green/red bands ratio: y = 62.667x3 – 154.328x2 + 121.27x – 29.902.
