Judul: Teknik pelatihan kuda (Equus  caballus) untuk upacara kenegaraan dan sarana kesenjataan di detasemen  kavaleri berkuda (DENKAVKUD) TNI-AD Parongpong
Abstrak: The objective of this study was to obtain all related information and understanding the training process were carried out at the Cavalry Detachement Equstrian along with the understanding of horses behaviour and welfare. This study conducted in August 2008, at the Cavalry Detachment Equstrian (Denkavkud) TNI- AD Parongpong, Bandung, used 15 horses that were in the process of training and taming. Horses observation comprised of three male horses, nine female horses and three cartrated horse. Before starting a thorough and completed research, a preliminary review was conducted; that was to get a general overview descriptions. All data collection were classified as follow : horse trainer background, handling horse health, horse maintenance, technical training in general, each detailed technical training material, welfare of horse, evaluation training materials, and all information about horse geneacological records. Training was conducted in Detachment Equstrian (Denkavkud) TNI-AD includes introduction material cognition (through sounds, view dan touching), field practice, repetition, habitual and materials evaluation. The horses trained were tamed would be able to show expected response to the trainer. A coach playing a very important role on the succes of each training, at the same time patience are also required from both trainer and rider. In order to mastering the 19 basic material, basic training will take six month of time, each technical training materials will has a time allocation base which will vary with or will be adjusted with the schedule of basic education curiculum for horses training. Training are divided into stages, that is from a very easy up to a very difficult materials. Horses that have ever been trained to be tamed should be able to show expected response to the respected trainer. From this point of step if the horses are declared passing from this stage soon will be prepared and ready to receive further advanced training matterials. At the end of this advanced training, the horse will be charged and operated as a horse in the millitary until 18 years old. After this operating period are ended, then all of the horse care or welfare and health responsibilities will be moved to other departement until their death.

Judul: Manajemen Pemeliharaan Kuda (Equus caballus) Untuk Upacara Kenegaraan Dan Sarana Kesenjataan Di Detasemen Kavaleri Berkuda (DenKavkud) TNI-AD Parongpong
Abstrak: Cavalry Horse Detachement (Denkavkud) Indonesian National Army-Cavalary Parongpong is one of the Indonesian military units that utilize the horse and train it as a means of purpose of formal state ceremony and armed forces. Skills possessed by the horse cavalry was the result of care management and specialized training provided by the trainer. Aspects of care management are breeding, feeding, and management. Horses that are kept in the Denkavkud, Parongpong are stallions, mares, foals, and military horses. Total populations of horses at Denkavkud are 183 horses. Besides commited horse training (remonte), Denkavkud also did breeding program to produce horses that can be trained and used as a military horse. There are some issues contained in Denkavkud, such as some of the nutrients needed by the horses not being met from feed given. One of these is crude protein and lysine. Lactation mares was crude protein and lysine deficiency. The number of death in 2010 is higher than previous years. Based on the number of horses that died from January until June 2010 is 11 horses. The average mortality was caused by colic. Colic is caused by excessive eating, excessive drinking during hot, moldy food, and even by investment roundworms. Animal welfare in Denkavkud can be enhanced by improvement of feed given and improving the health of livestock through improved sanitation.

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
