Judul: The planning of block system for optimizing the distribution of irrigation water in jatiluhur irrigation area by using genetic algorithm
Abstrak: The first objective of this research is to obtain a model for optimizing block irrigation as a part of irrigation management. The result is SIMPERA model which can be used in the planning of block irrigation system for irrigating paddy and non-paddy fields. The determination of block irrigation system is influenced by several type of inputs, namely spatial parameters (positions, distances and areas) of tertiary fields from water resources, environment parameters (rain, water availability and soil physics), production cost (machinery, seeds and fertilizer) and labours.

Judul: Model of intersectoral water allocation in Jatiluhur irrigation area: dynamic optimization approach
Abstrak: Rapid population growth, development of urban sprawl, and increasing food demand, have increased pressure on irrigation, domestic and industrial water demand. As such, the stock of water resources has become limited, not only in terms of quantity and quality, equity and continuity of water distribution, but also efficiency of water use. The scarcity of this resource has intensely increased intersectoral water demand, in downstream area, so that a model is needed to solve this conflicting and competing water demand problem. The objectives of this research are: (1) to conceptualize and develop a water allocation model in Jatiluhur’s dams, especially in Tarum Barat area and compare it with actual allocation which is undertaken by Perum Jasa Tirta II, (2) to evaluate the performance of technical and economic variables toward the dynamic optimum allocation, and (3) to evaluate the effect of its dynamic optimum allocation toward the reservoir’s stock of water.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
