Judul: Mangrove Vegetation Density Analysis and Its Effect on Abrasion and Accretion in Indramayu Regency
Abstrak: Ekosistem hutan mangrove memiliki peran penting dalam menjaga keberadaan pesisir pantai dan mengurangi risiko terkena abrasi. Mangrove pula memiliki kemampuan untuk memecah ombak, menangkap sedimen dan dapat menimbun tanah dan dapat mengurangi risiko akan abrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis sebaran dan kerapatan vegetasi mangrove, menganalisis perubahan garis pantai yang disebabkan karena abrasi dan akresi, dan menganalisis pengaruh sebaran dan kerapatan vegetasi mangrove terhadap abrasi dan akresi di Kabupaten Indramayu, Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa abrasi dan akresi yang terjadi di Kabupaten Indramayu, Jawa Barat memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan luasan mangrove yang berubah setiap tahunnya. Semakin sedikit luasan mangrove yang tersebar di sepanjang garis pantai, maka semakin besar pula terjadinya abrasi di area tersebut. Sedangkan akresi terjadi secara fluktuatif selama periode tahun 1990 hingga 2020. Selain itu, abrasi dan akresi yang terjadi di Kabupaten Indramayu juga disebabkan oleh faktor-faktor lain, seperti terjadinya penebangan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari oleh masyarakat dan juga konversi lahan menjadi tambak., Mangrove forest ecosystems have an essential role in maintaining the existence of the coast and reducing the risk of abrasion. Mangroves also have the ability to break waves, catch sediment and can accumulate soil, and can reduce the risk of abrasion. This study aims to analyze the distribution and density of mangrove vegetation, shoreline changes caused by abrasion and accretion, and the effect of mangrove vegetation's distribution and density on abrasion and accretion in Indramayu Regency, West Java. The results showed that the abrasion and accretion that occurred in Indramayu Regency, West Java had a close relationship with the mangrove area which changed every year. The less area of mangroves that are spread along the coastline, the greater the occurrence of abrasion in that area. Meanwhile, accretion occurred fluctuated during the period from 1990 to 2020. Apart from that, the abrasion and accretion that occurred in Indramayu Regency were also caused by other factors, such as logging to meet the daily needs of the community and also the conversion of land into ponds.

Judul: Coastaline Changes and Management Coastal Strategies in Indramayu Regency
Abstrak: Kabupaten Indramayu memiliki garis pantai terpanjang di pantai utara Provinsi Jawa Barat. Perubahan garis pantai baik abrasi maupun akresi di Indramayu selalu berubah setiap tahunnya. Abrasi dan akresi mempunyai pengaruh terhadap kehidupan masyarakat pesisir. Abrasi dapat mengakibatkan kerusakan tambak, rumah, pertanian, jalan dan lainnya. Sementara akresi dapat menyebabkan pendangkalan pada muara sungai yang menggangu lalu lintas nelayan. Akresi atau tanah timbul juga dapat menyebabkan konflik lahan apabila tidak tangani dengan baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perubahan garis pantai di Kabupaten Indramayu, menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya dan membuat strategi pengelolaan wilayah pesisir di Kabupaten Indramayu. Berdasarkan hasil analis overlay menunjukan terjadi perubahan garis perubahan garis pantai di Kabupaten Indramayu baik abrasi maupun akresi tahun 1989-2019. Tahun 1989-1999 terjadi abrasi seluas 1.291, akresi 319 ha, tahun 1999- 2009 abrasi seluas 1.125 ha, akresi 349 ha, tahun 2009-2019 abrasi seluas 358 dan akresi 689 ha. Secara umum tren abrasi pengalami penurunan sedangkan akresi mengalami peningkatan. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perubahan garis pantai di Kabupaten Indramayu dari faktor alam adalah arah dan kecepatan angin, gelombang, arus laut, pasang surut, kebredaan sungai dan tipologi pantai. Sementara itu dari faktor manusia yang dominan adalah konversi lahan mangrove menjadi tambak. Strategi pengelolaan wilayah pesisir di Kabupaten Indramayu menggunakan SWOT menghasil beberapa strategi yaitu, Meminimalisir abrasi dengan program pembuatan pelindung pantai baik pendekatan hard enginer seperti groin, seawall, jetty dan lainnya pada wilyah yang tingkat abrasinya tinggi dan sedikit terjadi sedimentasi. Sementara itu pada wilayah yang tingkat abrasi rendah menggunakan soft enginering seperti (Hybrid Enginering), penanaman vegetasi mangrove dan vegetasi pantai. Memberikan sosialisasi kepada pelaku budidaya perikanan maupun pertanian yang ramah lingkungan dengan tidak menebang vegetasi mangrove, bahkan diharapkan melakukan tambak silvofhisery sehingga dapat meredam abrasi dan meningkatkan produktifitas tambak, memberikan pelatihan tentang pembuatan pelindung pantai tepat guna, pelatihan pengelolaan mangrove secara berkelanjutan sehingga dapat mengurangi abrasi dan diharapkan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat pesisir dengan memanfaatkan produk olahan mangrove. Menegakan hukum yang tegas kepada yang melanggar seperti penebangan mangrove dan konversi lahan mangrove sesuai peraturan yang berlaku., Indramayu Regency has the longest coastline on the north coast of West Java Province. The coastline of both abrasion and accretion in Indramayu always changes every year. Abrasion and accretion have an influence on the lives of coastal communities. Abrasion can cause damage to ponds, houses, farms, roads and others. Meanwhile, accretion can cause silting of the river which interferes with fishing traffic. In addition, accretion or land arising can also cause land conflicts if not handled properly. The purpose of this study is to analyze line changes in Indramayu Regency, analyze the factors that influence it and make a strategy for managing coastal areas in Indramayu Regency. Based on the results of the overlay analysis, there was a change in the coastline of Indramayu Regency, both abrasion and accretion in 1989-2019. In 1989-1999 there were 1,291 abrasions, 319 ha of accretion, 1,125 ha of abrasion in 1999-2009, 349 ha of accretion, 358 ha of abrasion in 2009-2019 and 689 ha of accretion. While the trend of abrasion is decreasing, accretion is increasing. Factors that influence changes in coastline in Indramayu Regency from natural

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.
