Judul: Kitosan Tertaut Silang Urea-Formaldehida dan Asam Sulfat Sebagai Penjerap Cibacron Red
Abstrak: Modified chitosan cross-linked with urea-formaldehyde and sulfuric acid has been prepare through an establishment of cross-linker material of urea, formaldehyde, and sulfuric acid with the ratio 1:2:1. The ratio of chitosan:crosslinker material used were, 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2. This modification was done to increase the capacity and efficiency cibacron red adsorption. Increasing the addition of N levels, was in line with the addition of cross-linker agent. Based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, there was an absorption peak of C-OS group with wavenumber 896.33 cm-1, which shows the cross-link bonds between HOSO-3 and metilolurea, and at 1120-1130 cm-1 that indicates the ionic bonds between the chitosan side chains, +NH3-OSO3 -2. Best adsorption conditions for cibacron red was obtained for 120 minutes and 0.1 g adsorbent to adsorbent ratio of 1:1. Capacity modified chitosan and adsorption efficiency of the cibacron red have better value than unmodified chitosan. The adsoprtion isotherm model of chitosan cross-linked urea-formaldehyde and sulfuric acid toward cibacron red followed the Langmuir isotherm equation.

Judul: Adsorpsi Cibacron Red Menggunakan Campuran Kaolin Ampas Tebu dan Bentonit-Ampas Tebu
Abstrak: The use of agroindustrial waste and clay mineral have been studied as alternative adsorbents for dyes, such as Cibacron Red. Cibacron Red is one of reactive dyes which is widely used in textile industries In this research, the mixture of sugarcane bagasse and kaolinite or bentonite were used as adsorbents for cibacron red. Acid and base treatments were carried out to activate the adsorbents. Adsorption was carried out by varying adsorption times and adsorbent weights. The result showed that acid activated bagasse had the highest adsorption capacity. The optimum adsorption time and adsorbent weight were 120 minutes and 1 g with decrease of concentration from 50 mg/L to 7.99 mg/L. On the other hand, the optimum conditions for commercially activated carbon were 90 minutes and 1 g with decrease of concentration from 50 mg/L to 16.18 mg/L. The adsorption capacity and efficiency for acid activated bagasse was better than the commercially activated carbon. The adsorption capacity for acid activated bagasse and activated carbon were 2.10 mg/g and 1.69 mg/g adsorbent. The adsorption efficiency were 84.00% and 67.64%. Acid activated bagasse were followed Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm type, it was mean that adsorbent type is fisisorption and chemisorption.

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.
