Judul: Assessing Life-History Strategies of Hard Corals Genera between Kei Besar, Southeast Maluku and Misool, Raja Ampat
Abstrak: Identifying hard coral genera using a life-history approach would help in predicting the potential resilience. It becomes essential to evaluate the condition of hard corals that are increasingly threatened. The objective of the study is to investigate life-historical strategies of hard corals between Kei Besar, Southeast Maluku and Misool, and Raja Ampat, which refer to the composition of benthic communities and coral life-forms; the contribution of families and genera of hard corals; and its (hard corals) coverage. The study was conducted in November 2018 and May 2019 by using Point Intercept Transect (PIT) with three replicates, and each transect was 50-meter long transect line laid parallel to the shoreline. The PIT method was applied to assess benthic communities and the genera coverage of hard corals. Benthic communities in both regions were dominated by hard coral (Kei Besar 60 ± 10.36%; Misool 38 ± 7.08%) which followed by abiotic (14.44 ± 6.43%) and algae (13.00 ± 3.43%) in Kei Besar Island. Misool Island was dominated by hard corals and followed by soft corals (20.08 ± 7.96%) and abiotic (26.44 ± 8.52%). Kei Besar describes a type of stress-tolerant life history with a high amount of Coral Massive life-forms (30.91%). Besides, the genus Porites (24.14%) consists the most amount of hard corals genera in Kei Besar Island. In Misool, where the genus Acropora (24.17%) %) consists of the most amount of hard coral genus, with a competitive life history.

Judul: Sebaran Terumbu Karang di Perairan Pulau Menjangan Taman Nasional Bali Barat dan Biorock Pemuteran, Bali
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui sebaran genus karang keras, bentuk pertumbuhan (lifeform) karang keras, komposisi komunitas bentik serta persentase tutupan karang keras di perairan Pulau Menjangan dan Biorock Pemuteran, Bali. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan Juni 2016 menggunakan metode Point Intercept Transect (PIT) dengan panjang setiap transeknya 50 meter dan dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali pengulangan yang dibentangkan sejajar garis pantai. Komposisi komunitas bentik di kedua lokasi penelitian didominasi oleh dead coral with algae (Perairan Pulau Menjangan 51%, Biorock Pemuteran 48.9%). Diikuti oleh persentase abiotic (18%), hard coral (16%), soft coral (10%), dead coral (4.5%) dan other fauna (0.5%) di perairan Pulau Menjangan. Sedangkan di Biorock Pemuteran persentase abiotic (35%), hard coral (12%), dead coral (4%) dan other fauna (0.1%). Alveopora dan Stylophora merupakan genus karang keras yang paling dominan ditemukan di perairan Pulau Menjangan, sedangkan Acropora dan Porites dominan di Biorock Pemuteran. Coral branching dan Coral massive merupakan lifeform karang yang mendominasi kedua lokasi penelitian., This study aims to determine the distribution of hard coral genus, hard coral lifeform, benthic community composition and the percentage of hard coral cover in the waters of Menjangan Island and Biorock Pemuteran, Bali. Data collection was carried out in June 2016 using the Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method with a length of each transect of 50 meters and carried out three repetitions spread parallel to the shoreline. The composition of benthic communities in both study sites was dominated by dead coral with algae (Menjangan Island waters 51%, Biorock Pemuteran 48.9%). Followed by abiotic percentages (18%), hard coral (16%), soft coral (10%), dead coral (4.5%) and other fauna (0.5%) in the waters of Menjangan Island. Meanwhile in Biorock Pemuteran the percentage of abiotic (35%), hard coral (12%), dead coral (4%) and other fauna (0.1%). Alveopora and Stylophora are the dominant hard coral genus found in Menjangan Island waters, while Acropora and Porites are dominant in Biorock Pemuteran. Coral branching and Coral massive are coral lifeforms that dominate both study sites.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
