Judul: Karakteristik Hubungan Infrastruktur Pertanian dan Pola Ruang Terhadap Neraca Pangan (Studi Kasus Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan Kecamatan Tarogong Kidul, Kabupaten Garut)
Abstrak: The availability of agricultural land in Tarogong Kidul District is threatened because Tarogong Kidul belongs to urban area of Garut. The purposes of this research are to determine, (a) the spatial distribution of land use and paddy fields, (b) the influence of agricultural infrastructure on the agricultural land development, and (c) the level of food security and status in Tarogong Kidul. The techniques to determine spatial distribution of land use in 2007 and 2014 are by digitizing process and interpretation based on IKONOS imagery in 2007 and 2012. The influence of agricultural infrastructure were measured by paddy fields area in 2007 and 2014 based on road border 50 – 800 metres, identification of irrigation network and its effect on the productivity. Hierarchy analysis process and overlay results from the previous maps were used to determine rice fields which are vulnerable to conversion and the level of local food security. Land use of Tarogong Kidul is dominated by paddy fields and settlements. Paddy fields spread out at the south and west while settlements spread out at north and east that is adjacent with urban of Garut. The results showed that road border, road status, irrigation and productivity has consecutive weights of 0.48, 0.47, 0.04, and 0.01. Based on the map, the highly vulnerable status of conversions are located near urban Garut and spread out through out the district. Based on food balance sheets, there are six villages deficit status and 6 villages surplus status. Theory this analysis of the food security status of South Tarogong will be surplus until 2016.

Judul: Analisis Ekonomi Sumberdaya Lahan Usahatani Padi Sawah untuk Mendukung Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Garut
Abstrak: The main objective of this research is to develop sustainable rice farming systems in Kabupaten Garut based on land capability. Each farming system has different input-output structures. The study showed that 57,91% of total paddy area was conducted on unsuitable land. Such a system needs higher inputs and influences the farmers’ income. The efficiency report showed different results based on the applied approach, either constant return to scale (CRS) or variable return to scale (VRS). The average efficiency score of rice farming systems using VRS approach was higher than using CRS approach for both land capabilities, i.e. 72-83%. This score range means that technically those farming systems had excess capacity between 17-28%. Land productivity change of rice farming system estimated by monetary valuation showed that on suitable land occurred appreciation, while on unsuitable one occurred depreciation. The result of feasibility analysis showed that the rice farming system on suitable land was feasible to be conducted, while on unsuitable one was unfeasible. The value of producer surplus of rice farming system on suitable land was higher than on unsuitable one. The result of optimization analysis showed that there were some areas in 7 sub-districts better not to produce rice since inefficient to be carried out, i.e. Kecamatan Kadungora, Pameungpeuk, Samarang, Banjarwangi, Cisewu, Talegong and Cikelet.

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
