Judul: Penerapan Proses Pemotongan Halal pada Unit Usaha Akikah di Wilayah Bogor Barat
Abstrak: Akikah merupakan kegiatan untuk merayakan kelahiran anak dengan menyembelih hewan (kambing atau domba). Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara observasi persyaratan fisik, sumberdaya manusia dan proses pemotongan ternak di tempat pemotongan usaha akikah. Penelitian dilakukan pada 3 tempat usaha akikah yang berbeda di wilayah Bogor Barat. Pengumpulan data meliputi persyaratan fisik, sumberdaya manusia, dan proses pemotongan ternak berdasarkan standar SNI rumah potong hewan (RPH). Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tempat penyembelihan hewan di Salamah Aqiqah dan Bogor Aqiqah Center telah sesuai dengan persyaratan, namun di Ar-Rahman Aqiqah masih belum, sehingga dibutuhkan beberapa perbaikan, supaya pemotongan ternak di perusahaan jasa aqiqah Ar-Rahman memenuhi persyaratan.

Judul: Penerapan Good Slaughtering Practices pada Pemotongan Halal Ternak Domba untuk Kebutuhan Akikah.
Abstrak: Akikah merupakan salah satu kegiatan muslim yang dilakukan pada hari ketujuh kelahiran bayi dengan memotong ternak domba atau kambing sebagai tanda syukur kepada Allah SWT. Pemotongan ternak untuk kegiatan akikah dapat dilakukan di luar RPH dengan minimal mematuhi 3 poin peraturan pemerintah. Peraturan tersebut masuk kedalam konsep Good Slaughtering Practices (GSP) yang terdiri atas pemeriksaan ante-mortem, penjaminan kebersihan, dan pemeriksaan post-mortem. GSP penting untuk diterapkan di setiap unit jasa pemotongan hewan dalam menghasilkan daging yang Aman Sehat Utuh Halal (ASUH). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi GSP dan menilai seberapa jauh unit jasa pemotongan hewan menerapkan GSP. Identifikasi dilakukan dengan cara observasi dan wawancara. Matriks borang identifikasi GSP mengacu pada SK Menteri Pertanian Nomor 413/Kpts/TN.310/7/1992 tentang Pemotongan Hewan Potong dan Penanganan Daging serta Ikutannya, dan Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia Nomor 95 Tahun 2012 tentang Kesehatan Masyarakat Veteriner dan Kesejahteraan Hewan. Hasil penelitian dianalisis deskriptif dengan menghitung nilai kesesuaian dan membandingkan dengan peraturan yang berlaku. Hasil penelitian menunjukan GSP di perusahaan ini masih dalam kategori belum sesuai dengan peraturan. Perbaikan perlu dilakukan dan poin yang sudah diterapkan harus dipertahankan. Pegawai perlu mengikuti banyak pelatihan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan dalam hal pemotongan.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
