Judul: Studi kasus dirofillariosis pada anjing ras di Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Soekarno-Hatta
Abstrak: Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kejadian dirofilariosis pada anjing ras yang diimpor melalui Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Soekarno- Hatta pada bulan Juli 2008-Maret 2009. Infeksi Dirofilaria immitis dideteksi dengan metode Knott dan uji serologis dengan metode ELISA, menggunakan Antigen Test Kit Canine Heart Worm (DiroCHEK®) yang tersedia secara komersial. Pemeriksaan secara mikroskopis, menunjukan bahwa tidak ada mikrofilaria dalam 48 sampel yang diperiksa dengan metode Knott dan hanya satu sampel (4,2%) menunjukan hasil positif dari 24 sampel yang diperiksa dengan uji ELISA. Anjing yang positif adalah anjing betina berumur >6 tahun. Faktor predisposisi yang kemungkinan mempengaruhi kejadian dirofilariosis adalah umur, jenis kelamin, dan jenis rambut…

Judul: Studi kasus kejadian infeksi cacing parasit saluran pencernaan pada anjing ras impor di Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Soekarno-Hatta
Abstrak: Studi kasus ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat kejadian dan kondisi klinis infeksi cacing parasit saluran pencernaan pada anjing ras impor yang dilalu-lintaskan melalui Bandar Udara Soekarno–Hatta pada bulan Juli 2008–Maret 2009. Infeksi cacing saluran pencernaan dideteksi dengan menggunakan metode pengapungan sederhana, metode McMaster dan pemupukan larva infektif. Hasil studi menunjukan bahwa tiga dari 46 ekor (6,52 %) anjing ras impor yang diperiksa terinfeksi Toxocara canis, Trichuris vulpis, dan Ancylostoma caninum. Gejala klinis kecacingan hanya terlihat pada satu dari tiga ekor anjing yang terinfeksi. Infeksi cacing hanya ditemukan pada anjing dari kelompok ras Hound dan Gundog. Prevalensi infeksi relatif lebih tinggi pada anjing jantan (8,7 %) dibandingkan betina (4,35%). Kasus kecacingan terjadi pada umur muda (≤ 2 tahun) dan umur tua (≥ 5 tahun) dengan prevalensi infeksi yang lebih tinggi pada umur muda masing-masing sebesar 8,7 % dan 8,33 %.

Judul: Enhancement of photon absorbtion on BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin films semiconductor using photonic crystals.
Abstrak: In this research, has been conducted BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) thin films manufacturing for mole fraction x = 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.55; and concentration of 1 molar using chemical solution depositon (CSD) method. The materials, which are used in this research, are barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%], titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28), 97.999%], gallium trioxide [Ga2O3], 2-methoxyethanol [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] and 1 x 1 cm of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) glass as substrate. Two BST thin films are made that for BST thin films which are doped by 10% galium (BGST) as p-type layer and pure BST solution as n-type. BST solution is made by reacting barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%] and titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28)] into 2-methoxyethanol solvent [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] in accordance with mass gram for each x value. While, BGST solution is made in the same way as BST solution, plus adding gallium at 10% of the mass of BST. Once all materials are reacted, then vibrated using ultrasonic for 90 minutes, and followed by coating BGST / BST on the TCO substrate. Once the layer is formed, then annealed for 15 hours at temperature of 500 °C with increasing rate of 1.67 oC/minute. Characterizations of BST thin films with or without photonic crystals include the absorbance and transmittance in the visible light spectrum, as well as the electrical photoconductivity characterizations. From BST thin films without photonic crystals indicate that our thin films have light absorption area on almost the entire range of the visible light spectrum even to the infrared range with absorption value over than 67.6%, in addition, it can be seen that the maximum absorbance of BST thin films for all mole fractions lie in blue to green light spectrum region, 457 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm and the minimum in yellow to red light spectrum region, 570 nm ≤ λ ≤ 678 nm. The largest absorbance is found at x = 0.25 with average absorbance value of 92.04% and maximum and minimum absorbance peaks at wavelength of 500.89 and 657.72 nm, respectively. At x = 0.35, average absorbance value decreased to 83.55% with maximum and minimum peaks at 505.73 and 613.68 nm, respectively. Then increased to 91.16% at x = 0.45 with maximum and minimum peaks at 506.04 and 618.56 nm, respectively. At x = 0.55, average absorbance value decreased to 80.12% with maximum and minimum peaks at 507.85 and 608.79 nm, respectively. Moreover, it can be seen that the addition of barium mole fraction leads to wider maximum absorbance or minimum transmittance peaks and narrower minimum absorbance or maximum transmittance peaks in the same range of the green and blue & red light spectrums, respectively. BST thin films with photonic crystals show increasing in absorption for all x values in the range of 3.04 into 13.33%. At x = 0.25, average absorbance percentage increased 3.96% from 92.4 into 95.68%, for x = 0.35 average percentage increased 7.07% into 89.45 from 83.55%. Furthermore, average absorbance of BST thin films at x = 0.45 increased 3.04% from 91.16 into 93.93% and x = 0.55 has
