Judul: Studi implementasi sistim biosecurity dan biosafety karantina hewan pusat di Timor Leste
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to evaluate of the human resources condition and implementation of biosecurity and biosafety system at the Center of Animal Quarantine in Timor Leste. The study was conducted with observation and respondent interview by using questionnares and checklist. The result of this study showed that there were still lack in human resources. The implementation of biosecurity dan biosafety system at the Center of Animal Quarantine in Timor Leste was still at a moderate level as well. From this study, some suggestions are provided such as to increase the number and the quality of human resources and to optimalize the use of animal quarantine.

Judul: Kajian Biosekuriti Instalasi Karantina Hewan Sapi Impor di Pulau Jawa
Abstrak: Indonesia imports large number of live cattle as breeding cattle or beef cattle to fulfill its demands for protein of animal origin. In order to prevent animal disease entering and spreading in the country the Government of Indonesia provides animal quarantine premises inside or outside every entry/exit point. Requirements and procedures to establish animal quarantine premises is stated in the Agriculture Minister’s Decree No 34/2006 regarding Requirements and Procedures to Establish Animal Quarantine Premises, and in the Head of Agriculture Quarantine Agency’s Decree regarding Technical Guidelines for Large Ruminant Animal Quarantine Premises. Biosecurity in animal quarantine facilities is one of important factors in preventing spreading of diseases among animals, transmission from animals to human or vice versa and also preventing disease to enter premises. Biosecurity implementation in animal quarantine premises depends on the knowledge, attitude and practices conducted by the officers of the premise, both veterinarian officers and paraveterinarian officers. The aim of this study is to determine the level of biosecurity and the relation among characteristic, knowledge and attitude of veterinarian and paraveterinarian officers on the biosecurity implementation (sanitation, isolation and movement control) in a temporary animal quarantine premises. Data were collected from temporary animal quarantine premises for imported cattle across Java Island. In this study we found that in general the biosecurity implementation in the premises was adequate (62.6%) and good (31.2%). We also noticed that the characteristic of veterinarian officers showed no relation to the biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of veterinarian officers showed a strong relation to the biosecurity implementation (p<0.05) with medium correlation level (r = 0.463 and r = 0.524). On the other hand, characteristic of paraveterinarian officers showed no relation to the biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of paraveterinarian officers shows a strong relation to the biosecurity implementation (p<0.05) with medium correlation level (r = 0.410 and r = 0.427).

Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
