Judul: Perilaku pemanfaatan saluran komunikasi dalam penerapan teknologi PHT dikalangan petani Kabupaten Sukabumi
Abstrak: Konsep PHT merupakan inovasi baru yang memerlukan upaya untuk memasyarakatkannya di kalangan petani. Pada awalnya pemasyarakatan PHT di kalangan petani dilakukan melalui jalur penyuluhan pertanian yang di tingkat lapangan dikoordinasikan di Balai Penyuluhan Pertanian (BPP). Melalui Program Nasional PHT, maka dimulailah pemasyarakatan PHT melalui kegiatan Sekolah Lapangan Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (SLPHT).

Judul: Keefektifan komunikasi penyuluh dan petandu dalam kegiatan SLPHT di Kabupaten DT II Sukabumi
Abstrak: Sekolah Lapang Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (SLPHT) merupakan metode baru" dalam pemasyarakatan PHT di kalangan petani dengan sawah sebagai sarana Selajarnya. Metode ini berusaha mengembangkan kemampuan petani dalam mengendalikan OPT berdasarkan konsep PHT, sehingga dapat menghindari penggunaan pestisida yang berlebihan. Pemasyarakatan PHT melalui SLPHT akan memerlukan komunikator yang tidak hanya menguasai aspek-aspek komunikasi tetapi juga dapat mengelola SLPHT ini sesuai dengan garis-garis yang telah ditentukan. Pemandu diharapkan dapat menjalankan fungsi tersebut.

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.
