Abstract
At present the bus is a means of transportation which is believed to be able to overcome the problem of mass transportation and is expected to reduce the density of traffic flow. The reality in the field of traffic accidents involving buses often occurs, including buses that have slips, rolled over, collided with other vehicles or fellow buses from the front, rear and side, and so on. The choice of material in the frame structure must be considered, where the material must have characteristics that are light, strong against impact, because it will experience static and dynamic loading. This is intended so that there is no structural failure at any time. In this study, a side crash simulation was carried out on the frame structure of a medium-sized electric bus using 3 different types of material. The first material is the standard material of JIS 3445 STKM 13A. Then after simulating with a safe standard material, a simulation with alternative materials is carried out namely Aluminum 6005A T6 and Aluminum 6061 T6. The choice of alternative materials aims to reduce the weight of the vehicle and still pay attention to the security factor in the form of residual space. In the three types of simulated materials, the Baja JIS 3445 STKM 13A material weighs 2456 Kg, displaces 96.72 mm and voltage 215.5 MPa. Then the material of Aluminum 6005A T6 has a weight of 1122 Kg, displacement of 109.8 mm, and a voltage of 230.5 MPa. While the material of Aluminum 6061 T6 has a weight of 941.9 kg, displacement of 103 mm, and voltage of 270.5 MPa. From the results of the simulations that have been made, the recommendations for the material that can be used on a medium size electric bus are Aluminum 6061 T6.

Abstract
Hostel gains its popularity due to the rapid growth of urban tourism in Indonesia. The hostel not only offers affordable accommodation, but it also has a more innovative design. In the current social media age, most of the hostel need to be photogenic because the interior has become a part of a branding strategy. Since most of the hostel markets through OTA (online travel agency), their profile image are important to attract customer. These made hostel interior looks appealing on camera gaze. Many of design strategies corporate graphic visualization, unique proportion/composition to fit in camera angle. The technique of mural/graffiti often uses to promote photogenic image on small spaces/ alternative spaces. The feature of graphic as well as image composition has widely used to provoke customer imagination on -advertised- space. The relation of spatial effect between spatial-image relation will be examined to create a new perspective of interior design. These studies choose 3 hostels located - Mural Villages- in Yogyakarta. This hostel is a form of adaptive interior from house to a hostel. In this article, the study focused on aesthetic side of those interior adaptation, as well as the application of mural to create a photogenic space. The mural-s technique and its relation to other interior elements will be examined to seek a new perspective on spatial-image articulation on interior space.

Abstract
Cervical carcinoma is the second cancer type that common in woman and the most caused of woman death all over the world. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection suggested could induced gene hypemethylation. Hypermethylation that occur on p16 tumor suppressor gene promoter resulted in silencing tumor suppressor gene so that the gene is inactive and contribute to malignancy of cancer cells. Tea paracytes or Loranthaceae known to be a plant that have an anticancer potency, correlated to its flavonoids content. Flavonoid from Scurrula atropurpurea (Blume) Danser (SAD) suggested have a role in the inhibiting methylation towards p16. This research objective was to identify the potency of Lawang - East Java Scurrula atropurpurea (Blume) Danser (SAD) flavonoids compound towards Hela cells. In this study, we examine flavonoids from SAD that been extracted in n-heksan, chloroform, etanol solvent, using TLC Chromatogram and LCMS. We also examined the cells proliferation using MTT assay, apoptotic level was examine by Tunnel, and then completed with methylation level detection using bisulfit direct sequencing method. The result shown that flavonoids that found were : flavanon, dihidroflavonol and flavon; dihidroflavonol, flavanon and cathecin, and flavonol, flavon, and EGCG, respectively.in n hexane, chloroform and ethanol fraction. Flavonoids that were found suggested to have proliferation inhibitor and apoptotic inductor potency via inhibition of p16 promoter of HeLa cells methylation. SAD flavonoids in the n-heksan and chloroform fraction shown the most potent in methylation inhibition. We suggested that combination of flavanon and dihidroflavonol have an important role in p16 demethylation. SAD flavonoids had activity to affect the methylation of p16 and bioactive compound could be one of a novel agent that have to be explore in the future as a demethylating agent in cancer.

Abstract
Medicinal plants Cinchona (Cinchona Ledgeriana Moens.) was once an Indonesian export commodity many years ago. Unfortunately, the decline of Cinchona production is currently also affected by plant-damaging fungal (Phytophthora infestans). This study aims to obtain endophytic bacteria in healthy Cinchona plants. A number of 64 endophytic bacterial isolates were evaluated for their ability to inhibit Phytophthora mycelium growth by dual culture technique. Nine isolates had inhibitory activity against fungal mycelium growth above 50% compared to controls. The highest percentage of inhibition is shown by isolate B13 which is 84.31%. Many bacteria are motile and make calculations biased. Furthermore, an antagonistic confirmation test was carried out using a glass ring. Six of them still proved to be consistent in having the ability to inhibit mycelium growth respectively for isolates B13 was 68.32% ± 3.34, isolates D5 67.67% ± 0.92, isolates D13 were 65.43% ± 1.49, isolates B15 were 61.98% ± 1.18, isolates D11 were 58.91% ± 2.06, and B14 isolates at 57.76% ± 2.84. This result is a new literature in the study of the potential of Cinchona plant endophytic bacteria that can be developed for bio-control applications that are safe for plants and the environment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is closely related to hypercholesterolemia (increased levels of total cholesterol in the blood). One effort to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis is by inhibiting the enzyme squalene synthase. The inhibition of the enzyme squalene synthase does not interfere with the biosynthesis of other important biological molecules and thus better side effects are expected for this inhibitor. The purpose of this study was to analyze geraniin, corilagin, and elagic acid compounds of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) peel extract as squalene synthase inhibitors. Docking simulation has been performed using PyRx. Data from software and web tools were analyzed descriptively and compared with lapaquistat, a control drug that was proven to inhibit squalene synthase clinically. The docking results indicate that all ligands bind to squalene synthase active site and it has more stable bonds. Geraniin is the compound that has the lowest binding free energy (-12.2 kcal/mol). ADMET results show that on average 80% of geraniin, corilagin and ellagic acid compounds are absorbed by human digestion, well distributed, and don-t cause liver toxicity. The overall results indicated that the compounds could be potential as candidates for the structure-based drug design and the development of the pharmaceutical agents to treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract. Bacteria and microalgae in the aquatic environment interact in various ways. Some bacteria have the potential to accelerate microalgae growth. Amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria which living in freshwater environments (lakes) can decompose complex compounds into simpler ones that needed by microalgae. However, there is limited information about amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria in Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Grati and Lake Ngebel. This study aims to examine the potential of amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria isolated from Ranu Pani, Ranu Regulo, Ranu Grati and Lake Ngebel. The amylolytic test was performed through planted the bacterial isolates from each lake on Amilum agar. Meanwhile, the cellulolytic test was performed using CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose) media. Our recent finding from 4 lakes showed that 53 isolates had the potential to hydrolyze starch, and 47 isolates had the potential to hydrolyze cellulose. The ANOVA results showed there were differences significantly (p<0.050) in the hydrolysis ability of amylolytic and cellulolytic bacteria isolates. The bacteria with the highest amylum hydrolysis ability were PAS isolates with hydrolysis index 5.89. The bacteria with the highest cellulose hydrolysis ability were PSS isolates with hydrolysis index 6.912. Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, PSS isolates were Bacillus paramycoides and PAS isolates were Bacillus subtillis and the two bacterial were isolates from Ranu Pani.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women. The most common triggers for breast cancer are excessive expression of estrogen-α receptors (ER-α) which play an important role in the growth, development and pathophysiology of the breast, so that ER-α is an attractive drug target. Tamoxifen is one of the Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) to treat breast cancer patients, but this drug has a detrimental effect on the uterus, so a safe alternative is needed to use herbal ingredients such as Red Betel which is used by Indonesian people as traditional medicine. This study aims to predict the potential of compounds Kaempferitin, β-amyrin, Piperbetol, Piperine and Sesamin Sirih Merah as inhibitors of α-Estrogen Receptors (ER-α) through Molecular docking method, Potency Activity test and ADMET test using several software and web server. The docking results between the five red betel compounds and ER-α were at the same site as the Thamoxifen drug, through alkyl and hydrogen bonds with the affinity value of the red betel compound lower than the control drug. The results showed that red betel active compounds have the potential to be antineoplastic and antioxidant. Red betel active compounds have a good ADMET profile. The conclusions of this study are red betel compounds namely Kaempferitin, β-amyrin, Piperbetol, Piperine and Sesamin as potential candidates for breast anticancer drugs.

Abstract
The need for high nutritional fruits such as melon continues to increase in Indonesia. Melon also becomes a source of income because it has marketing prospects and high interest from the society. Begomovirus is one of severe disease which often cause a decrease of fruit production. Until now there were only two cultivars which were claimed to have resistance against Geminivirus, ‘Gracia- and ‘Madesta-. Furthermore, the Faculty of Biology UGM has developed several varieties of melon which was expected to become resistance against Begomovirus. The aims of this research was evaluate the resistance of 9 melon genotypes to Begomovirus infection using symptoms observations and molecular detection. Melon samples was inoculated by insect transmission inside screenhouse and observed every 3 days for 4 weeks. Symptoms severity was revealed as vulnerability index. Furthermore, the results of symptom observations was confirmed using molecular detection. The results showed that no cultivars was truly resistance against Begomovirus. ‘Gracia-. ‘Tacapa GB-, and ‘Tacapa Silver- showed tolerance response against Begomovirus while the others only categorized as moderate susceptible. All infected samples which identified by symptoms observations also amplified DNA virus when tested using PCR. Molecular detection was promising fast and reliable detection for Begomovirus infection.

Abstract
Tides and abrasions as the impact of climate change pose serious risks to coastal communities in Brebes Regency. The coastal communities of Brebes Regency have social capital for disaster risk reduction as a form of disaster adaptation and mitigation strategies. Social capital in disaster management is an effort to improve emergency preparedness and respond to the disaster recovery and reconstruction process. The objective of this research is to analyze the social capital of coastal area societies in the effort of disaster mitigation as the result of climate change into three social capital (bonding, bridging, linking). The respondents are the societies who join disaster care association in Kaliwlingi, Sawojajar, and Karangdempel Village, Brebes Subdistrict. The research result indicates that bonding social capital of Kaliwlingi, Sawojajar, and Karangdempel Village is seen from trust, norms, knowledge, awareness, social activities numbers and routine, participation, basic facility and individual-s characteristics. However, Karangdempel and Sawojajar village has lower social activities, participation, and awareness than Kaliwlingi Village. The bridging social capital in Kaliwlingi, Sawojajar, and Karangdempel Village can be seen fromsome groups. However, Sawojajar and Kaliwlingi Village has internal problem so that it reduces the benefits of group. Linking social capital runs well in Kaliwlingi and Sawojajar village because the stakeholder moves actively. However, there is a problem which reduces linking social capital in Sawojajar and Karangdempel Village and make it nonoptimal.

Abstract
Xylanase enzyme is extracellular enzyme that plays a role in hidrolyzing xylan into short chains of xylose and xylooligosaccharides. The xylanase enzyme is one of the most important enzymes in various industrial sectors including the paper, textile and xylitol industries. Xylanase enzyme are produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi with the help of xylan as an xylanase enzyme induction medium. The use of commercial xylan in industrial scale xylanase production is not economical because the price is too expensive $ 180-200/kg, so that an alternative is needed to use xylan from agricultural waste such as bagasse and wheat bran. Bagasse and wheat bran contain higher xylan compared to other agricultural wastes are 29.2% and 43.2%. This study aims to determine the optimal concentration in mixing bagasse and wheat bran substrates to the xylanase enzyme activity produced by Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae through the 2,4 dinitrosalicylic acid method. The test results of the xylanase enzyme activity of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae showed that xylanase production increased with increasing concentration of wheat bran and decreased by adding concentration of bagasse. Based on the results of the enzyme activity test it can be concluded that the substrate which produces high xylanase enzyme at 100% wheat bran is 6.6 U / mL, while mixing the wheat bran and bagasse substrate which produces high xylanase activity at a concentration ratio of 75% wheat bran added 25% bagasse that is equal to 5.4 U / mL. The xylanase enzyme activity produced by Aspergillus oryzae was higher than Aspergillus niger which was 4.49 U / mL.

Abstract
During mode-I crack development of sandstone flattened Brazilian disk (FBD) specimen, the thermocouple multi-channel temperature measuring instrument is used to measure the temperature variation. The thermal infrared imager is also used to measure the infrared radiation temperature variation. In the thermocouple multi-channel temperature test, about 95% of the specimens have experienced stress change at crack initiation. Meanwhile, there is a sudden increase in physical temperature. The maximum temperature increases by 0.74°C and the average temperature increases by 0.16°C. In the test by thermal infrared imager, about 20% of the infrared radiation temperature rises at crack initiation (the average temperature increases by 0.03°C). The experimental results show that the physical temperature measurement technology and infrared temperature measurement technology can capture the temperature variation in crack development before coal and rocks fail. The results can be applied in mining engineering, such as crack development in water-preserved mining, rock strata control and so on.

Abstract
Efforts of ex-situ conservation need to be carried out to prevent threat of extinction in plant species of Annonaceae family, and one of them is collected at Purwodadi Botanic Garden (PBG). The collections of Annonaceae in PBG have experienced dynamics over the past of 12 years. These dynamics affect diversity and conservation efforts. This study aims to determine the dynamics or development of Annonaceae plant collections in PBG for the past of 12 years and how their conservation efforts. The methods used primary and secondary data collections, measurement of stem diameter, plant height and branch-free stem height (BFS) to determine the condition of Annonaceae plant collections related to their adaptation in PBG and measurement of microclimatic data. Data were analyzed descriptively and analyzed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using the statistical program PAST 4.0. The Annonaceae plant collections in PBG have fluctuated in the number, genera, species, specimens and genera that have not been identified. Dominant originated from East Kalimantan, East Java and South Kalimantan with plant addition of 28 numbers, 10 genera, 6 species, 58 specimens, 7 genera that have not been identified to the species level and 81 times of species identity changes. Annonaceae plant collections in PBG was able to well adapt and develop based on the average of stem diameter, where collections was planted in 1980s have larger stem diameter than the 1990s and 2000s. Humidity and light intensity are the most influential environmental factors for plant growth, especially for branch development (stem diameter and BFS). The management of Annonaceae plant collections in PBG was the maintenance activities such as pruning, watering, fertilizing, pulping, data collecting, monitoring of flowering and fruiting for selected collection plants and adding of plant collections through exploration activities) and several studies to explore aspects of species usefulness to support of conservation.
