Judul: Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Nematode of Swine in West Lore Sub-district of Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi
Abstrak: Endoparasit merupakan masalah kesehatan yang penting pada babi peliharaan di negara tropis dan subtropis, di mana gizi dan sanitasi sangat buruk. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menentukan prevalensi dan intensitas infeksi nematoda pada babi di Kecamatan Lore Barat, Kabupaten Poso di Sulawesi Tengah. Sebanyak 87 sampel dikumpulkan dari babi yang dipelihara di enam desa di Kecamatan Lore Barat. Sampel diperiksa dengan menggunakan metode Apung dan teknik McMaster untuk mendeteksi keberadaan telur nematoda dan jumlah telur per gram dalam tinja (TPGT). Berdasarkan pemeriksaan mikroskopis ditemukan empat jenis telur nematoda yaitu strongyle, Strongyloides sp., Ascaris sp. dan Trichuris sp. Prevalensi Infeksi campuran sebesar 56.32% ditemukan pada 49 kasus, lebih tinggi dibanding infeksi tunggal (35,63%) ditemukan sebanyak 31 kasus. Babi betina yang terinfeksi adalah 67,81%, ia lebih tinggi daripada babi jantan yang terinfeksi (32,18%). Selain itu, prevalensi keseluruhan yang terinfeksi lebih tinggi pada anak babi dibanding dengan babi dewasa dan tingkat infeksi babi dikandang lebih tinggi dibanding dengan babi yang diikat di halaman. Meskipun demikian perbedaan tersebut secara statistika tidak nyata. Ascaris sp. memiliki intensitas infeksi tertinggi dengan rataan 3488± 11058.00 TPG yang dianggap sebagai infeksi sedang.

Judul: Gastrointestinal Nematode Infection of Cattle in West Lore Subdistrict of Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi
Abstrak: The current prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes of cattle in West Lore is not known. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal nematode infection in cattle in the West Lore sub district of Poso Regency in Central Sulawesi. Fecal samples were examined using simple floatation techniques, and the McMaster counting chamber was used for egg count per gram feces (EPGF). In this study the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes was analysed in relation to overall prevalence, intensity of eggs per gram of feces and age. Based on microscopic examination, the type of nematode eggs that were found were only Strongyle eggs in all samples. The overall prevalence based on the 41 fecal samples was found to be 58.54%. The majority intensity of eggs per gram of feces is 100 eggs per gram of feces at 29.26%. While it was found that the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes is higher in young cattle (65.38%) than in adult cattle (42.85%).

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
