Judul: Diferensiasi leukosit pada babi lokal, Sus verrucosus pre dan post operatif endolaparoskopik
Abstrak: Perlakuan penanganan hewan preoperatif dan tindakan operatif dapat menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan-perubahan fisiologis pada tubuh hewan. Salah satunya adalah perubahan gambaran deferensiasi leukosit darah. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran diferensiasi leukosit pre dan post operatif pada babi lokal (Sus verrucosus) dengan menggunakan metode endolaparoskopik. Sebanyak 7 ekor babi betina lokal, dengan kisaran umur 2 sampai 3 tahun dan berat badan antara 25 sampai 35 kg yang telah diperiksa kesehatannya secara klinis disiapkan untuk menentukan kelayakan babi yang akan dioperasi. Kemudian dilakukan pengambilan preparat ulas darah preoperatif melalui vena coxygea dan setelah operasi dengan metode endolaparoskopik selesai, dilakukan pengambilan preparat ulas darah post operatif melalui vena auricularis. Hasil pengamatan dan penghitungan persentase jumlah limfosit, neutrofil, eosinofil, monosit, dan basofil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan persentase jumlah neutrofil sebesar 20,58% dan penurunan persentase jumlah limfosit sebesar 18,32%, sedangkan jumlah eosinofil menurun sebesar 57,14% dan monosit menurun sebesar 100% pada post operatif. Basofil tidak ditemukan pada preparat ulas darah.

Judul: Dinamika Leukosit Pada Terapi Cairan Anak Babi (Sus Scrofa) Yang Diinduksi Sepsis
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dinamika leukosit setelah resusitasi cairan dengan cairan koloid (modified fluid gelatin 4%/MFG 4%) dan cairan kristaloid (ringer's acetate malate/RAM) pada anak babi yang diinduksi sepsis. Sepuluh ekor anak babi (Sus scrofa) jantan atau betina berumur 2-3 bulan dan bobot badan 8-15 kg dibagi ke dalam dua kelompok. Induksi sepsis dilakukan dengan injeksi LPS (Lipopolysacaride) hingga terjadi renjatan sepsis. Pemberian perlakuan menggunakan resusitasi cairan dilakukan pada saat renjatan sepsis terjadi. Kelompok pertama menerima resusitasi cairan MFG 4% dan pada kelompok kedua menerima resusitasi cairan RAM. Sampel darah diambil melalui kateter yang dipasang pada vena cava setelah anastesi, saat sepsis, dan 3 jam setelah resusitasi cairan. Pada saat sepsis terjadi kecenderungan penurunan nilai leukosit pada kedua kelompok perlakuan. Secara umum resusitasi MFG 4% maupun RAM tidak terdapat pengaruh yang nyata terhadap nilai leukosit setelah sepsis terjadi.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
