Judul: Knowledge, Attitudes Practices of Cattle Farmers in Banjar Kertarahayu village towards Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD)
Abstrak: Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) merupakan penyakit menular pada sapi yang disebabkan oleh virus famili poxviridae dengan tingkat morbiditas 45% dan mortalitas mencapai 10%. LSD telah menjangkiti ternak sapi di Indonesia termasuk di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu, Kecamatan Way Pengubuan, Kabupaten Lampung Tengah. Peternak memiliki peran dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian LSD sehingga pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik peternak yang tepat sangat diperlukan dalam pengendalian penyakit ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi tingkat pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik peternak sapi di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu terhadap upaya pengendalian Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). Data diperoleh dengan mewawancarai 30 Peternak sapi di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu menggunakan kuisioner terstruktur. Data dianalisis dengan metode analisis deskriptif dengan teknik scoring berdasarkan skala likert dan skala guttman . Data hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap LSD berada pada kategori sedang dan praktik peternak termasuk dalam kategori kurang., Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is an infectious disease in cattle caused by a virus from the poxviridae family with a morbidity rate of 45% and a mortality rate of up to 10%. LSD has infected cattle in Indonesia, including in Banjar Kertarahayu Village, Way Pengubuan District, Central Lampung Regency. Farmer have a role in prevent and control LSD so that the appropriate knowledge, attitudes and practices of farmers are necessary in controlling the disease. This research aims to identify the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of cattle farmers in Banjar Kertarahayu Village regarding efforts to control Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). Data was obtained by interviewing 30 cattle breeders in Banjar Kertarahayu Village using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods with scoring techniques based on the Likert scale and Guttman scale. The result shows that the level of knowledge and attitudes towards LSD is in the medium category and farmers practices are in the poor category.

Judul: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Cattle Farmers in Astomulyo Village Towards Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Control Efforts.
Abstrak: Penyakit mulut dan kuku (PMK) merupakan salah satu ancaman bagi peternakan di Indonesia, salah satunya Provinsi Lampung karena berpotensi sebagai lumbung ternak. Peranan peternak dalam upaya pengendalian dibutuhkan dan harus didukung dengan pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik peternak yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik manajemen peternakan oleh peternak di Desa Astomulyo Lampung Tengah terhadap upaya pengendalian PMK. Metode pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner, observasi lapang, dan wawancara terhadap 30 peternak sapi di Desa Astomulyo. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif untuk karakteristik responden, dan secara kuantitatif menggunakan teknik skoring berdasarkan Skala Likert dan Skala Guttman untuk penilaian pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik. Data hasil penilaian pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik manajemen peternak di Desa Astomulyo masing- masing menunjukkan nilai yang baik, yaitu 93,6%, 87,4%, dan 78,9%. Studi ini mengindikasikan perlunya optimalisasi upaya pengendalian PMK melalui peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik peternak melalui penyuluhan, pelatihan, dan partisipasi semua pihak terkait., Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a threat to livestock farming in Indonesia, including Lampung Province because of its potential as a livestock barn. The role of farmers in controling disease is needed and must be supported by appropriate knowledge, attitudes, and practices. This study aims to identify the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of farmer in Astomulyo Village, Central Lampung towards FMD control efforts. Data collection methods used questionnaires, field observations, and interviews with 30 cattle farmers in Astomulyo Village. Data were analyzed qualitatively for respondent characteristics, and quantitatively using scoring techniques based on the Likert Scale and Guttman Scale for knowledge, attitude, and practice assessments.

Judul: Sintesis Paduan Ti-6Al-4Nb sebagai Matrial Implan Pengganti Komponen Tibial
Abstrak: Synthesis of Ti-6Al-4Nb alloy was done by melting using Tri Arc Melting Furnace. Each sample was remelted five times to ensure the homogenity. Aluminum and niobium addition were expected to stabilize α phase and β phase until the αβ-titanium alloy was resulted. Yet based on the experiment, it was α-titanium alloy resulted. α-titanium alloy was a Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) crystalline structure which would be cracked if deformation non-uniaxial happens. The presence of oxygen in pure titanium significantly increased the hardness of titanium. The addition of aluminum was also able to increase the hardness of titanium alloy because aluminum more stabilize the α phase in the α-titanium alloy. The corrosion ressistance of titanium could be increased by adding aluminum and niobium. Titanium coating with HA/chitosan composite was also proved in decreasing the corrosion rate because it barried direct interaction between titanium alloy and corrotion solution.
