Judul: Rancangan Kemasan Karton Bergelombang dengan Bahan Pengisi untuk Transportasi Jagung Semi (Baby corn)
Abstrak: Baby corn packaging usually use crate during transportation whereas it could make mechanical damages to the product like scratch, bruised, broke, and ripen rapidly. The purpose of this research was to design a proper packaging using carton material and filled material that could maintain the quality of baby corn during the transportation. In this research, C flute and BC flute, that has dimension (31x23x9)cm, (46.5x23.5x9)cm, (32x24x10)cm, (47.5x24.5x10)cm, were used as the outer packaging, B flute as inner, PE plastic as primary packaging, and pieces of paper as filling material. K4C and K6C were selected because those more adaptable in cold storage, those has good compression strength, and lower cost. Transportation conversion simulation result during two hours is similar to 169.553 km out of town length or 2.83 hours with 60 km/hour speed. Mechanical damage of the K4C is 17% meanwhile the K6C 15.9%, this is caused by the pieces of paper which used as the filling material around the product. The treatment of packaging directly influent to the parameter reduced of weight, hardness, and total dissolved solids of baby corn. On the other hand, the treatment of packaging indirectly influent the water content in the baby corn.

Judul: Perancangan Kemasan Transportasi Buah Jambu Air (Syzygium aqueum (Burm.f.) Alston) cv Camplong
Abstrak: Jamboo cv Camplong, called water rose, is one of the East Java’s superior fruits from Madura that have the high economic values and consumed as fresh fruit. It is including most perishable comodities and having short shelf life and also suspectible with impact and friction during transportation. Therefore the packaging technology during transportation becomes a critical point of post-harvest to maintain freshness of products when it is distributed to consumers. The purposes of this research were designing a secondary packaging during transportation and determining the appropriate type of primary packaging to maintain the quality of Jamboo. Materials in this reasearch were two types of corrugated cardboard (BC flute for packaging and A flute for partition) and jamboo cv camplong (weight 90 - 110 grams, diameter 60 mm and height 55 mm) from the Tadden village, Sampang East Java. The physical and mechanical properties of the fruits, and also the efficiency of the container space were being concerned to decide. The first step of packaging design. Secondary packaging design was done with determined dimensions, models, efficiency and manufacturing steps of packaging. The second step was done with tested of the package that has been designed, esspecially compression strength. For the third steps, the jamboo cv camplong was transported with net foam and paper packing filler (primer). After transportation process, fruits damage were observed visually and stored at room temperature ± 27 ºC. Then the color quality, hardness, total soluble solids, and amount of rotten fruits were observed every day during the time. Result of the packaging design (partitioned and unpartitioned) was having dimension 57x217x216 mm, with capacity of 45 pieces of fruits (equivalent to 4.5 kg) for partitioned packaging design and 69 pieces of fruits (equivalent to 7 kg) for unpartitioned packaging design. The strength of packaging resulted about 258.59 kgf (partitioned packaging design) and 401.92 kgf (unpartitioned packaging design) for pressure resist. Fruits that were packed with partitioned packing using net foam filler material had lowest mechanical damage (about 5.02 %), while the highest mechanical damage of fruits happened in the farmers packaging design (about 20.87 %) after transportation process. Statistical analysis showed that the influence of the primary packaging net foam / paper was significantly different, there are for color, hardness, total dissolved solids and total rotten fruits during storage after transportation. By using this designed packaging could give a net profit of about IDR 300.000 – 600.000 and it was greater than the conventional farmer’s packaging, by maximizing the container space during transportation.

Judul: Infeksi leucocytozzon simondi (Mathis dan Leger, 1910) pada itik
Abstrak: Leucocytozoonosis pada itik adalah penyakit protozoer yang disebabkan oleh parasit darah Leucocytozoon simondi. Protozoa ini ditularkan oleh lalat penghisap darah (Simulium sp.). Di dalam tubuh induk semang antara (vektor) Simulium parasit mengalami tahap gametogoni yang kedua (pembentukan gamet dan pembuahan) dan sporogoni. Pembuahan makrogamet oleh mikrogamet terjadi segera sesudah vektor menghisap darah itik yang mengandung gametosit. Pembuahan menghasilkan zigot yang dapat bergerak (ookinet) yang masuk dinding usus vektor dan kemudian memasuki tahap sporogoni. Tahap sporogoni memerlukan waktu kira-kira 1 minggu (Fallis dan Desser, 1977) untuk menghasilkan sporozoit. Sporozoit bergerak menuju kelenjar ludah vektor, tempat mereka berkumpul. Sporozoit dipindahkan ke dalam tubuh itik pada saat vektor menghisap darah itik. Di dalam tubuh itik, parasit mengalami tahap skizogoni dan tahap gametogoni yang pertama (pembentukan gametosit). Sporozoit memasuki peredaran darah itik dan memasuki sel-sel parenkhim hati membentuk skizon hepatik (Fallis et al., 1974). Setelah 4 6 hari, skizon hepatik dewasa menghasilkan merozoit dan sinsitia. Merozoit dari skizon hepatik memasuki eritrosit dan eritroblas membentuk gametosit bundar, sedangkan sinsitia memasuki sel-sel RES di seluruh tubuh membentuk megaloskizon. Megaloskizon dewasa terbentuk dalam waktu 5 hari di dalam sel-sel itu dan menghasilkan merozoit. Merozoit dari megaloskizon memasuki limfosit dan leukosit lainnya membentuk gametosit memanjang. ...
