Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui termostabilitas pigmen antosianin dari Basella rubra yang dimikroenkaspulasi dengan maltodekstrin. Metode yang digunakan adalah ekstraksi pigmen, mikroenkapsulasi dengan menggunakan maltodekstrin 25% dan kristalisasi dengan menggunakan vacuum drying, uji termostabilitas dengan pemanasan 100 °C, dan analisis menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis dan KLT. Hasil penelitian diperoleh kandungan antosianin pada ekstrak buah sebesar 0,632 mg/g   dan yang sudah dimikroenkapsulasi sebesar 0,051 mg/g. Pada pemanasan selama 60 menit dengan suhu 100 °C terjadi penurun konstentrasi antosianin 0,003 mg/g pada menit ke-50 dan 60. Dapat disimpulkan jika pigmen antosianin pada buah dapat dimikroenkapsulasi dan memiliki kestabilan hingga pada menit ke-40.

Perception is the result of the sensing process and the process of observing someone about something that will result in a behavioral response. Human behavior is a response to stimuli both from within and outside the individual. A healthy house is a house that meets the technical terms and conditions to protect the occupants of the house from various threats and health problems, so that an optimal health degree can be achieved. The percentage of healthy houses nationally is 61.81% and Central Java province has reached 70.40%, however, in Kebonan hamlet which is located in Central Java Province has a low percentage of healthy houses, only 9%. The research aim to describe the perception of the community about a healthy house and its relation to health behavior. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews and processed into verbatim then analyzed and the validity of the results tested by source triangulation. From the research results, it can be seen that the public's understanding of a healthy house in general is still limited, the public perception of the benefits of a healthy house and the disadvantages of a less healthy house is good enough, but the method of treating community waste is still not good. The efforts that can be made by the community to maintain a healthy house are still not maximal because of limited information. The low percentage of healthy houses in Kebonan hamlet is caused by poor behavior in managing houses and household waste. Limited information affects people's perceptions about a healthy home and results in not maximizing community behavior in running a healthy house. Perceptions of a healthy home and health behavior of some people in Kebonan hamlet are interrelated, so that to form good behavior knowledge needs to be increased in order to form a good perceptual understanding and positive behavior.

Population growth rate faster than the availability of resindential land will affect the decrease in health status. Population with low socioeconomic who work as scavengers will be very difficult to live in proper residential areas. Those people choose to live around the location of Landfills. This option becomes a consideration because the price is relatively cheap and close to the work location. A landfills environment condition isn’t proper for health and it makes the people who lived there suspectible of health problems. One of the most common diseases is Pulmonary Tuberculosis. This disease occurs due to bacterial infection and supported by unhealthy environment. The area around Ngronggo Landfills in Salatiga becomes one of places to stay for scavengers. The purpose of this research is to describe the influence of the house physical environment toward incident of pulmonary tuberculosis to the people who living in Landfills area. This research used descriptive quantitative method. Technique collecting data are observation, interview and environmental condition measurement with temperature parameter, humidity and light intensity. The condition of non-qualified houses is 73% of lighting, 98% of humidity, 80% of ventilation, 91% of flooring and 98% of garbage smell. The conclusion is most houses of residents living around the Landfills in Ngronggo Salatiga isn’t eligible for health requirements and become contributors’ infection of pulmonary tuberculosis.

The natural climate of Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) is dry all the year. However, prior to wet season, the region will suffer from cold weather, particularly in August. Ume kbubu and ume naek, both are traditional houses of Timorese especially for those who come from Mollo.

The research took place at Binaus village, Timor Tengah Selatan district in August 2016 using observation to monitor the people’s activity. Measurement of the temperature was conducted for 24 hours. At night the temperature outside might reach 20°C, and 22°C in ume naek, while in ume kbubu, it can reach 35 - 37°C.
