Judul: Kajian Kesejahteraan Rusa Totol (Axis axis) di Kawasan Wisata Alam Kampung Batu Malakasari Baleendah Kabupaten Bandung.
Abstrak: The aim of the research was to study the welfare of spotted deer (Axis axis) at Kampung Batu Malakasari natural touris park Baleendah Bandung. The data taken by observe the condition of the area, deer cage, deer population and their feeding program. Assessment of deer welfare was carried out with using a checklist developed by NAWAC (2007). Faecal examination were done to observe the health condition related to welfare. The observation showed that the natural touris park width is 5.5 Ha and area is 1827 m² the deer cage. The cage is facilitated with shelter, feeding and drinking place. The population in dry season is 19 deers and 20 deers in wet season. The feed composition for deers are sweet potato, waste product of tofu and grass. The average of feed are 50 kg sweet potato per day, 20 kg waste product of tofu and 50 kg of grass. Based on animal welfare assessment, deer in Kampung Batu Malakasari were in poor condition. Based on faecal examination during the dry season showed that 2 deers are infected with Nematodes and 10 deers infected with Trematodes. In wet season 5 deers infected with Trematodes. In conclusion, the deer still need medical attention to prevent of infection from pathogen such as parasites.

Judul: Welfare Management and Health Status of Deer at Captivity Hutan Penelitian Dramaga, Bogor
Abstrak: Keberadaan rusa timor (Rusa timorensis), rusa sambar (Cervus unicolor), dan rusa bawean (Axis kuhlii) di alam perlu dipertahankan. Salah satu lembaga yang mendukung kegiatan konservasi eksitu tersebut adalah Penangkaran Rusa Hutan Penelitian Dramaga, Bogor. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menilai penerapan manajemen kesejahteraan satwa dan status kesehatan satwa. Data kesejahteraan rusa diperoleh melalui observasi lapang, wawancara dan pengisian kuisioner. Status kesehatan rusa berdasarkan kejadian infeksi cacing saluran pencernaan (helminthosis) diperoleh dengan melakukan pengambilan sampel feses, kemudian dianalisis secara mikroskopis melalui metode McMaster, flotasi sederhana dan saringan bertingat modifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan kesejahteraan rusa di penangkaran rusa Hutan Penelitian Dramaga tergolong “baik” dengan skor tingkat kesejahteraan satwa mencapai 73,03. Telur cacing parasit yang ditemukan yaitu Trichuris, Strongyloides dan Trematoda yang menginfeksi rusa, dengan derajat infeksi TTGT tergolong dalam kategori rendah., The existence of timor deer (Rusa timorensis), sambar deer (Cervus unicolor), and bawean deer (Axis kuhlii) in the wild needs to be preserve. One of the responsible institutions in ex-site conservation activities is deer captivity of Dramaga Research Forest, Bogor. The study was conducted to assess the implementation of animal welfare and animal health status. Data of deer walfare management was obtained by field observations, interview, and filling the questionnaire. Deer health status based on the gastrointestinal endoparasites infection (helminthosis) was obtained by collected faecal sample, then it was analyze with microscopic evaluation by McMaster, simple flotation and modification of sedimentation technique. The study shows that deer welfare management in deer captivity of Dramaga Research Forest was classified as a “good” with a score of animal walefare’s level up to 73,03. All animals were parasitized by Trichuris, Strongyloides, and Trematode with low infection intencity level EPG.

Judul: Membran polistirena dengan penambahan pluronic® untuk  pervaporasi etanol
Abstrak: One of the applications of membrane is pervaporation. Pervaporation is an efficient liquid separation using membrane. One of the compounds that can be purified is ethanol. Polystyrene membrane for ethanol pervaporation has several advantages, including easy for handling and reduced energy demand. Polystyrene membrane was prepared by adding nonionic surfactant (Pluronic®) as pore former. Pluronic® was added at various levels, i.e. 0; 0,5; 1; 1,5; and 2 g with time stirring of 10 and 20 hours for each composition. Characterization membranes was performed by Fourier Transform Infrared and surface morphology of membrane was determined by Scanning Electron Microscope. Pervaporation wathat produced the highest separation factor (αsep) of 38,9082 was obtained upon 20 hours stirring with addition of Pluronic® 1,5 g. The concentration of ethanol increased from 60% to 87%.
