Judul: Peran Hutan Kota Dalam Perbaikan Iklim Mikro di Kota Malang Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Physical development for urban infrastructure gives an impact of reducing the green open area. This situation led to an increasing of air temperature, makes the urban environment is getting warmer. One of the solution to lower the air temperature is developing an area of open green spaces, specifically urban forest. Urban forest is an approaching and the implementation of one or more functions in a group of forest vegetation at urban areas that have specific purpose such as protection, recreation, aesthetics, and other utility functions for the benefit of urban communities. The comfort index of some urban forest and city park in the city of Malang is currently at a comfortable level (IK value = 21-24), then the management of urban forest need to be more intensive and effective such as to select tree species that are capable and have a big impact on air quality for create a microclimate and makes the area to become more comfortable.

Judul: Pemodelan hutan kota untuk ameliorasi iklim mikro di Kota Palu
Abstrak: Climate characteristic of Palu city is very specific, which is indicated by high air temperature and low precipitation. The objectives of research are : (1) to analyze the dynamics of changes in area and distribution of land cover types in Palu, (2) to analyze the relationships between dynamics of greenery open space area, temperature distribution, and the role and needs of urban forest to improve microclimate in Palu, (3) to develope dynamics model system of urban forest for micro climate amelioration, (4) to formulate policies that can be recommended for the development of urban forest in Palu. The research was carried out based on field survey, questionnaire, and expert judgement. GIS and Arcview approaches for spatial dynamic analysis, to develop dynamics model system of urban forest using program powersim studio expert 2005 version, to formulate policies that can be recommended for the development of the urban forest using policy analysis with AHP. The results obtained are: (1) for 13 years from 1997 up to 2010 was found that greenery open spaces have decreased from 80.4 % to 78.8 %, (2) the increasing greenery open spaces will decrease the maximum of air temperatur, significantly. The regression is Y = -0.1203 X + 39.51 with R2 = 0.503, (3) Based on the model simulation, it is predicted that the urban forest will be decreased in the future, (4) Base on results of AHP, it’s known that needs of settlement is the priority factor, government is the priority actor, environmental sustainability is the priority purpose and to improvement of regulation and the provision of green open spaces and plants were the priority strategy of development of the urban forest in Palu.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
