Judul: Performance improvement of forest farmer in agroforestry system applied in critical land of pegunungan kendeng in Pati
Abstrak: Critical area of land is increasing from year to year, this occurs because of inappropriate management of the land area. One effort which may overcome this problem is applying agroforestry systems. However, the agroforestry system still have problems on how far the farmers performance and the determiners of the performance which will affect to the sustainability of the agroforestry systems on critical lands. Research objectives are: (1) to analyze the farmers performance and the determiners of the performance that will affect to the sustainability of the agro-forestry systems on degraded lands, (2) to analyze the forestry extension support to the determiners of the farmer performance, and (3) to develop appropriate strategy for extension activities in order to improve the farmer performance. Data are analyzed through three methode: (1) biplot, (2) descriptive statistics, (3) and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The result of the study could be summarized as follows: (1) The farmer performance of Pegunungan Kendeng are still low. This condition are reflected on the: (a) low level income, (b) limited types of food diversity, and (c) absence of business network in agroforestry system. Nevertheless, the farmer performance has significant and positive impact to the sustainability of agroforestry systems. The condition of the performance determinants is in a relatively strong level; this condition is reflected on (a) the farmer motivation is relatively strong, (b) enough availability of farmer’s opportunities (c) the acceptable farmer’s skills. This reflects that the farmer determinants positively and significantly affect to the farmer performance. (2) The support of forestry extension is still considered low; this condition is reflected on their low level on basic competence and on technical mastery. Nonetheless, the forestry extension supports are significantly and positively affect to the farmer motivation and opportunities. (3) In designing the strategy of forestry extension to improve the farmer performance and the sustainability of the agroforestry system, it needs to consider: the farmer motivation, the farmer work opportunities and the farmer capabilities.

Judul: Desain Agroforestry pada  Lahan Kritis
Abstrak: Design of agroforestry has the objectives of improving the system which has been existing and providing directives for agribusiness on the basis of physical, with pre-diagnosis and diagnosis activities which are aimed at discovering the existing constraints and problems inside the system, followed by technological intervention for system improvement and determinimg the best agroforestry system in critical and condition. Method used ini this study was identifiying the existing agroforestry system, followed by evaluation of land suitability, financial analysis and community social analysis. This study found three agroforestry system based on the existing components, namely agrisilvopasture. Evaluation of land suitability showed that in general, land suitability ratings for woody crops and perennial crops were categorized as moderately suitable (S2), while those or annual crops/non rice food crops were categorized as marginally suitable (S3). Results of financial analysis showed that all existing agroforestry system are feasible to be practiced, with highest benefit cost ratio 2.7 was found in agrisilvopasture system. On the basis of landscape consideration, species of Non-MPTS were more adapted if they were planted in hill ridge, while that of species of MPTs and perennial crops in slope and valley, and that of annual crops in valley

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
