Judul: The Hematological Responses And The Effects of Common Blood Parasites in Ruminant in Malaysia
Abstrak: Blood parasite infections can cause obvious economic losses in livestock and are commonly found in livestock of tropical regions such as Malaysia. This study was conducted to understand better the role and effect of hematological responses and the effects of common blood parasites in ruminants. The data for this literature review is obtained from several articles, journals, and books. This literature review was mostly done in Sabah, Malaysia due to the Pandemic situation. Most of the blood parasite is endemic in Malaysia. Various genera of blood parasites namely Anaplasma, Theileria, Babesia, Mycoplasma, and Trypanosoma have been documented to exert negative impacts on ruminants in Malaysia. Infection of blood parasites in ruminants changthe CBC count, especially in the leukogram whichgoes up and down, depending on various aspects such as age. Therefore, a diagnosis or prognosis should not be based on hematologic results solely, but should also take findings from the clinical examination or other diagnostic procedures into consideration. It is necessary to implement good management practices in preventing and reducing the occurrence of parasitic infestations in farms.

Judul: Parasitemia Dan Diferensial Leukosit Akibat Infeksi Parasit Darah Pada Kerbau (Bubalus Bubalis) Di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: The aim was to identifiy the type of blood parasites that attack in buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis), to determine blood parasites percentage, parasitemia rate based on the leukocyte differential of the buffaloes in Bogor. The Blood samples were collected from 14 buffaloes using blood smear method.Samples were processed in glass slide, stained with Giemsa 10% and were observed using a microscope with 1000x magnification.The parasitaemia were counted for every 500 red blood cells. The result showed buffaloes infections were caused by Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp, and Babesia sp. The highest parasitemia rate was caused by the infection of Theileria sp.which was 43%, followed by the infection of Anaplasma sp. which was 36%, 7% of double infections which were (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp.), (Theileria sp., Babesia sp..), and the triple infections 7% (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., Babesia sp.). Although the parasitemia rate of the single infection Anaplasma sp. and Theileria sp. showed significant differences (P<0.05), hence, the buffaloes are still in the severity of mild diseases. The leukocyte differential showed the differences in every infection. The double infections (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp.) and (Theileria sp., Babesia sp.) had the highest lymphocyte count whereas the triple infections (Anaplasma sp., Theileria sp., Babesia sp.) had the highest neutrophil count. The significant differences of the eosinophil count were showed on the single infections Anaplasma sp. and Theileria sp.

Judul: Karakteristik Piezoelektrik Film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 di atas Substrat TCO
Abstrak: Studi material perovskite SrTiO3 sudah banyak dilakukan dan menunjukkan sifat feroelektrik, piezoelektrik, kuantum paraelektrik dan superkonduktor yang baik. Dengan penambahan dopant La2O3 diduga menambah performa sifat piezo dan karakteristik lainnya. Karakteristik film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 (LST) dengan variasi x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 terbentuk pada suhu annealing 550 oC di atas substrat TCO melalui metode (Chemical Solution Deposition) CSD dan spin coating dengan 700 rpm pada kondisi suhu ruang dan tekanan atmosfer standar. Hasil menunjukkan, semakin banyak pendadah La maka nilai ketebalan film, ukuran rerata kristalit, parameter kisi, transmitansi, nilai konduktivitas (maksimum 589.7 S/cm pada sampel x=0.04 di frekuensi 10 Hz), nilai konstanta tegangan (c) dan muatan (d) piezo semakin meningkat. Dinamika bentuk grafik nilai tegangan (V) dan konstanta regangan mekanik (s) nampak mirip. Nilai V mencapai 0.127 V untuk x=0.06 (beban 50 g). Nilai maksimum c, d, s masing-masing mencapai 20.07 Vm/N, 1.14x10-8 C/N, 13642.71. Nilai band gap untuk x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 masing-masing 3.21 eV, 3.1 eV, 2.6 eV, 2.4 eV. La2O3 menambah performa sifat piezo, sehingga LST berpotensi sebagai sensor tekanan.
