Judul: Design of intelligent decision support system for the development of agroindustry based agropolitan
Abstrak: Agropolitan is a concept of agricultural development based on regional dimension which optimizes local potential resources and increases local competitive advantages. However, agropolitan development has some obstacles to be implemented such as no coordination and cooperation between stakeholder. The purpose of this study was to establish agroindustry based agropolitan concept. Through system approach, the intelligent decision support system (DSS) developed in this research was to support the implementation of market and material driven agropolitan development. The intelligent DSS was also able to define and delineate spatially the agropolitan area where agriculture had a most contribution to mean of support and welfare of local residents. Meanwhile, within its agropolitan center, the agroindustry could increase agriculture added value to support agropolitan implementation and its sustainibility. The model has been tested at Kabupaten Probolinggo and showed that corn, mango, onion and potato were best commodities within the region and corn based ethanol was highest priority product. Ethanol agroindustry was designed with capacity of 30 milion gallons per year that feasible to be established. As a stucture and infrastructure of supporting agropolitan based on agroindustry, it was recommended to develop market and road. Considering medium level of existing human resource and infrastructure condition, vertical integrated institution has been selected as an appropriate institution model in agroindusty based agropolitan.

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.

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
