Abstrak: Modernisasi pertanian merupakan perubahan pola-pola pertanian dari cara tradisional menjadi modern. Masyarakat Adat Samin merupakan masyarakat yang sebagian besar hidupnya bergantung pada pertanian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis eksistensi kearifan lokal Masyarakat Adat Samin Desa Baturejo, Kecamatan Sukolilo, Kabupaten Pati dalam arus modernisasi pertanian. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif didukung pendekatan kuantitatif. Data kualitatif diperoleh dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam kepada informan yang dipilih secara snowball sampling, observasi dan dokumentasi.

Judul: Ethnobiology of thesamin
Abstrak: This ethnobiological research focus on the ethnoecological, ethnobotanical and ethnozoological study of the adaptation process (correlating to management concept, impact on people’s activities, and technology usage) of Samin Community. The goals of this research were to study the beliefs, knowledge, and practice the Samin community for the comprehensive understanding of landscape use and management, ant to reveal the local knowledge of Samin community in managing their natural resource (plants and animals) whice include species diversity, the index of ecological importance value (INP), and the index of cultural significance (ICS). The study was conducted during the period of August 2009 to December 2011. The research was carried out in 7 villages in 4 districts, namely: (1) Larikrejo and (2) Kaliyoso (Kudus District); (3) Bombong and (4) Ngawen (Pati District); (5) Klopoduwur and (6) Tambak, Sumber (Blora District); (7) Jepang, Margomulyo (Bojonegoro, East Java). The research data consisted of ecological, ethnobotanical, ethnozoological and ethological data. Data collection using direct observation; open ended and structured interview, and participant observation. The results showed that the Samin society has a fairly good knowledge of biological resources and their environment. Use practices and management of natural resources is reflected in the form units of the environmentals and biological resources contained therein. Knowledge of the spatial environment simply divided into two main units, namely: mondokan (house and yard), and lemah garapan includes: fields (sawah), moor (tegalan) and teak (alas jati). Paddy field, dry field, yard, garden, teak forests, marsh ponds, and rivers were the places where the cultivation of a wide variety of production activities of plants and animals which were conducted to meet their basic needs. The research obtained more than 300 of plant species in the Samin settlement, which 235 species among those were useful for their life. Utilization of those plants include for food (118 species), traditional medicine and cosmetics (74 species), building materials (17 species) equipment (15 species), firewood (16 species), animal feed (27 species), fiber materials and the straps (3 species), ritual materials (26 species), toxic materials (2 species), pest control materials (16 species), environmental indicators (5 species), and ornamental plants and fences (45 species). Based on the role and utilization of animals, it can be grouped into: animal protein source (21 species), pets (7 species), pests of cultivated plants (17 species), pests of livestock (3 species), pest predators (11 species), animals for medicine (10 species), animals for ritual (1 species), and wildlife (35 species). The Samin community the resources and the environment only as necessery. They always maintained a harmonious relationship with nature.

Judul: Pengukuran Jantung Kelinci New Zealand White (Oryctolagus cuniculus) dengan Radiografi Toraks
Abstrak: This research was conducted to evaluate radiographs heart size of anaesthetized New Zealand White rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) under different combination of ketamine and xylazine. The rabbits were divided into three groups. Group A were anaesthetized using a 35 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg combination of ketamine and xylazine (n=5). Group B were anaesthetized using a 40 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg combination of ketamine and xylazine (n=3) while group C were anaesthetized using 45 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg combination of ketamine and xylazine (n=3). Parameter of observation from left laterolateral view were: 1) the apicobasilar length of the heart (AB), 2) the width of the heart (CD), 3) the distance between the cranial edge of the fifth rib and the caudal edge of the seventh rib perpendicular to the spine (R5-7), and 4) the vertical depth of the toraks (H). Parameter of observation from dorsoventral view were: 1) the length of the heart (L), 2) the width of the heart (W), and 3) the width of the thorax (T). The result from the heart parameters observation that were measured in left laterolateral view and dorsoventral view shows theres no significantly differ among the groups (P > 0.05). The vertebrae heart size (VHS) values obtained from the sum of the length of the long and the short axes on left laterolateral view. The long axes mean values (A) were 4.35±0.26 v and the short axes mean values (B) were 3.59±0.30 v, therefore VHS mean values were 7.94±0.49 v. On the dorsoventral view, the length of the heart mean values (L) were 4.32±0.29 cm, the width of the heart mean values (W) were 3.33±0.26 cm, and the width of the thorax mean values (T) were 5.85±0.30 cm. In normal conditions, the width of the heart should be less than two-thirds the width of the thorax and values obtained of 3.33<3.72 it shows that the heart is in the normal range. The best ratio to calculated the normal heart dimension in the left laterolateral view was compared the long axes with the vertical depth of the thorax, whereas in dorsoventral view, the length of the heart was compared with the width of the heart.
