Judul: Konsentrasi hormon kortisol pada sapi yang disembelih dengan metode konvensional dan Restraining Box Mark IV
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to analyze the cortisol concentrations in cattle which were slaughtered by conventional and Restraining Box Mark IV methods without pre-slaughter stunning. Blood samples were taken from Brahman cross steer 15 each groups (n=30) in several abattoirs in West Java and Banten provinces. Blood samples were collected from carotis communis artery 1 minute post-slaughtering. Cortisol concentrations in serum were measured using radioimmunoassay (RIA). The average of cortisol concentrations in cattle which were slaughtered by conventional method is 44.85 ng/ml and cattle which were slaughtered using Restraining Box Mark IV is 24.88 ng/ml. There was significant correlation (p<0.05) between cortisol concentrations and slaughtering methods. Restraining Box Mark IV appeared to reduce stress in cattle. Slaughtering by using Restraining Box Mark IV was better than conventional method from animal welfare viewpoint.

Judul: Stress Analysis of Brahman Cross (BX) Based on Leukogram and Superoxide Dismutase Examination
Abstrak: Daging sapi merupakan komoditas pangan yang masih menjadi perhatian Pemerintah Indonesia. Waktu istirahat merupakan salah satu syarat penanganan sebelum penyembelihan untuk memperoleh daging yang berkualitas. Terdapat dua metode penanganan yaitu penyembelihan dengan waktu istirahat singkat (<12 jam) dan lama (>24 jam). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perbandingan leukogram dan kadar aktivitas superoksida dismutase (SOD). Sampel yang digunakan adalah 5 sampel darah dan hati dari sapi Brahman Cross (BX). Sampel darah dihitung diferensial dan jumlah total leukosit. Sampel hati diukur kadar aktivitas SOD menggunakan spektrofotometer dan dianalisis menggunakan SPSS. Hasil pengukuran leukogram dengan waktu istirahat singkat dan lama berturut-turut adalah 10,96±0,301; 44,6±1,94; 6,6±0,89; 29,8±3,49; 12,2±2,38; 7,8±0,83; 0,93±0,61 dan 10,46±0,207; 38,8±1,09; 8,4±1,67; 33,2±4,38; 11,8±2,28; 8,0±1,48; 0,85±0,11. Hasil pengukuran leukogram menunjukkan perbedaan pada jumlah leukosit, limfosit, dan monosit. Akan tetapi, tidak ada perbedaan pada jumlah neurofil, eosinofil, basofil, dan rasio N/L. Hasil pengukuran kadar aktivitas SOD dengan waktu istirahat singkat dan lama berturut-turut adalah 124,00±5,47 dan 116,00±11,40 menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan., Beef is a food commodity that is still a concern of the Indonesian Government. The rest period is one of the requirements for handling before slaughter to obtain quality beef. There are two methods of handling, namely slaughter with short (<12 hours) and long (>24 hours) rest periods. This study aims to determine the leukogram comparison and levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity. The samples used were 5 blood and liver samples from Brahman Cross (BX) cattle. Blood samples were counted as leukocyte differential and leukocyte total count. Liver samples were measured for SOD activity levels using a spectrophotometer and analyzed using SPSS. The results of leukogram measurements with short rest periods were 10,96±0,301; 44,6±1,94; 6,6±0,89; 29,8±3,49; 12,2±2,38; 7,8±0,83; 0,93±0,61 and long rest periods were 10,46±0,207; 38,8±1,09; 8,4±1,67; 33,2±4,38; 11,8±2,28, 8,0±1,48; 0,85±0,11. Leukogram measurement results showed differences in the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes. However, there was no difference in the number of neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and the N/L ratio. The results of measuring SOD activity levels with short and long rest periods were 124,00±5,47 and 116,00±11,40 respectively, indicating no significant difference.

Judul: The addition of a noun word graph dictionary module in bogordelftconstruct
Abstrak: Knowledge Graph is a new method in Natural Language Processing that is used to describe human language and displaying it into a graph form. BogorDelftConStruct is a tool to analyze Indonesian text, developed by Deni Romadoni (2009). The tool has limited feature, opening many opportunities to add some other features. The goal of this research is to develop a noun word graph dictionary module and add it in BogorDelftConStruct. The patterns of the noun word-graph are based the research of Saleh (2009). In this research, of the 20 patterns in Saleh (2009) only 13 patterns are used, since some of word graph patterns which have the same affix and also have the different meaning. As many as 144 nouns were used in scenario testing, with 1 error was generated (99,33% accuracy).
