Judul: Perancangan model rantai pasokan untuk Agroindustri Kelapa Terpadu
Abstrak: The supply chain is a network that performs the procurement of raw material, the transportation of raw material to intermediate and end products, and the distribution of finished products to retailers or directly to customers. There was many complexity problem of supply chain. Simulation is often seen as a proper means for supporting by enabling modeling and analysis of alternative supply chain designs. Simulation is one of the most popular tools employed in the operational analysis of supply chains.. How to design a supply chain model was an interesting matter. The aims of this research were to design a model of supply chain for a small scale entreprise of integrated coconut industry and to get a total supply chain cost from simulation’s result. Minimization of total supply chain cost was an indicator from the model.

Abstrak: The supply chain system is increasingly exposed to various risks that may interrupt product, fund, and information flows among supply chain parties. Those supply chain risks (SCRs) may contribute to losses for the actors of the supply chain. In response, the supply chain risk management (SCRM) framework is employed to manage SCRs effectively. Sago is a strategic commodity in Indonesia as the largest sago producer in the world. However, the sago starch agro-industry encounter crucial issues, including supply reliability, quality consistency, and price. These issues were related to the existing risks across the sago starch supply chain. This research aims to develop an SCRM model for the sago starch agro-industry. Specifically, it has achieved three objectives; (1) identification of risks in the sago starch supply chain, (2) modelling of uncertain and interdependent SCRs in the sago starch agro-industry, and (3) modelling of coordination strategy with risk-sharing schemes for the sago starch supply chain. This research took a case study of the sago starch agro-industry supply chain in Kepulauan Meranti Regency, Riau Province, as the largest sago starch producer in Indonesia. It focused on investigating the supply chain of dried sago starch. Risk identification is the first stage of the SCRM framework as the basis for the risk assessment and mitigation stages. In this case, the system characteristics of the sago starch supply chain were identified and analyzed. The IPO (input-process-output) of the investigated system was described, including the actor's requirements. Furthermore, risk identification was started with literature reviews to identify the possible risks in the sago starch supply chain. Next, the risk candidates were confirmed to the related industry experts. Finally, the relevant SCRs were listed and classified into supply, operation, logistics, demand, price-financial, environmental, and external risks. The risk assessment stage focused on evaluating the SCR impacts on the performance of the sago starch agro-industry. The uncertainty and interdependency of SCRs were modelled into the Bayesian network (BN), a class of a probabilistic graph model. In its application, the risk and performance variables were selected to be modelled. The expert knowledge was utilized to generate the dataset through Monte Carlo simulations and rule bases. The directed acyclic graph (DAG) of the BN structure is constructed by applying hybrid methods. The Hill-climbing algorithm, a search and score-based method, was applied to learn datasets given to prior knowledge (rule of links among variables. In the next stage, Bayesian inference was applied to risk scenarios with sensitivity analysis to examine the impact strength of SCRs on the performance measures. The results of the simulation indicated that the natural and external-risk factors, supply and quality of logs and water, inbound and outbound-logistics factors might contribute to the industry performance. This research also recommended mitigation strategies to eliminate or at least minimize the adverse SCR impacts. Finally, risk mitigation stage, this research developed the coordination models with risk-sharing schemes to mitigate uncertain supply risks between sago collector (supplier) and sago mill (agro-industry). The system identification and literature review were carried as the basis for developing those coordination models. The developed models include non-risk sharing (NRS), undersupply

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
