Judul: Analysis of the potential areas for directions to preserve paddy fields in Solok Regency- West Sumatera Province
Abstrak: The increasing of rice production by the programme of rice intensification and the controlling of paddy fields conversion becomes very important to maintain food security considering the increasing of paddy fields raw area has been difficult to be realized, mainly due to various barriers of economic and social factors, such as land status, remote location and the lack of manpower. Therefore, to ensure the food security, the priority areas that need to be preserved as paddy fields have to be set. The objective of this study was to analyze the potential of the region to be preserved as the paddy fields. The results of this study showed that there is 3.198 ha of area in Solok Regency which is suitable to be developed as paddy fields that is currently the grassland/tall grass, shrubs, bushes and fields. There are six districts namely Gunung Talang, Bukit Sundi, Kubung, Lembang Jaya, X Koto Singkarak and Junjung Sirih which is the most potential to be preserved as paddy fields by considering the availability of the technical irrigation network and the wide of semi technical, simple and village irrigation network, the value of cropping index that is more than 2 times per year and the level of paddy productivity that is more than 4,5 tons per ha. Moreover, the existence of subsidies or incentives for farmers is necessary to implement high yield productivity of farming so it could provides welfare for farmer families.

Judul: Prioritas Lahan Sawah yang Dilindungi di Kota Sukabumi, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Sukabumi City has strategic position as it is located between the megaurban, Jabodetabek and Bandung Raya. This city has a large area of paddy field. Due to the existence of Act No 41, 2009 about sustainable agricultural land, then Sukabumi City has a tremendous opportunity to protect paddy field. We utilized IKONOS in 2012 and Paddy Field Map in 20120 to determine the distribution pattern of paddy field. Furthermore, multiple regression was employed to find out affecting factors of existing paddy field. Scallogram analysis was then utilized to find out the level of completeness of paddy field agricultural infrastructure and create a protected paddy field criteria for selecting paddy field to be protected. The spatial analysis showed that paddy field distributed in all villages expect Tipar Village and Gunungpuyuh Village. Paddy field has been in accordance with the physical condition and spread at various distances not only irrgation but also the main road. Factors that have a very real effect of exsisting paddy field in Sukabumi City were irrigation distance <100 m, slope <3 %, rainfall 2500-3000 mm, and main road distance <300 m. The completeness level of paddy field agricultural infrastructure in each villages divided 1st hierarchy (5 villages), 2nd hierarchy (9 villages), and 3rd hierarchy (19 villages). Paddy field that including 1st priority, 2nd priority, and 3rd priority were 468.55 ha (29.68 %), 483.44 ha (30.62 %) dan 626.54 ha (39.69 %).

FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
