Judul: Regional Development Strategy through “Minapolitan” Approach in the Regency of Anambas Islands
Abstrak: The Regency of Anambas Islands is characterized mostly by sea area, which covers 98.65 percent of the total region and its population are mostly fishermen. Therefore, it is considered to apply the concept of regional development through a “Minapolitan” program. The objectives of this study are to: 1) identify potential fishery resources and 2) to formulate alternative strategies for the regional development through a minapolitan approach. The methods of analyses used were Descriptive Analysis, Analysis of Location Quotient (LQ), Analysis of External Factors Evaluation (EFE) and Internal Factors Evaluation (IFE), and Strenghts Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Analysis (SWOT), and to determine strategic priorities, it used an Analysis of Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The analysis showed that there are fishery resources potential for further development but constraint by infrastructure and facilities. Based on the distribution of Gross Regional Domestic Pruduct (GRDP) at current market prices including oil and gas, the study showed that the fishery sector contributed an average of 13.62 percent, whereas without oil and gas it is accounted for an average of 57.68 percent. Thus, the fishery sector can be concluded to be the leading sector having the potential for development because it provides a very large contribution to the growth of the regional economy. Further, more based on the calculation of LQ for GRDP (2008-2010) with oil and gas included, the LQ value of fishery sub-sector was on average 3.84 and without oil and gas the average value was 15.05. Thus, it can be concluded that based on the GRDP with or without oil and gas, the fishery sub-sector is the basic or leading sector with a comparative advantage that can be developed in order to provide a major contribution to the economic growth of the region, especially for the welfare of the communities. The results of internal and external factor analyses based on the IFE-EFE and SWOT matrix result 6 (six) formulated alternatif strategies. Finally, based on the QSPM matrix, a priority was obtained in terms of the order of prioritized strategies that are necessary for the Regency Government of Anambas Islands namely: a) to build the infrastruture for the marine and fishery sector to support the “minapolitan” program, b) to improve planning or studies in developing marine and fishery sector, c) to prioritize programs to support the “minapolitan” program, d) to improve assistantship and capacity building for fishermen, e) to set up Anambas as a minapolitan region through central goverment regulations, and f) to build cooperation network with various parties.

Judul: Model pengembangan minapolitan berbasis budidaya laut di Kabupaten Kupang
Abstrak: This research was conducted in Kupang regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The main purpose of this study was to develop a minapolitan model of regional development in the Kupang regency - Nusa Tenggara in order to improve the living standards of social and economic life of society. To achieve the main objective, then there are some activities that need to be done as a special purpose, among others: 1) Analyze the potential, level of development, and sustainability for the development of minapolitan in Kupang regency, and 2) Build a sustainable development model of minapolitan area in Kupang regency. The study was conducted in March 2011 to August 2011 is located in Semau subregency, West Kupang sub-regency and Sulamu sub-regency. Data analysis include: (1) Identification of potential areas comprising: spatial analysis (GIS) with Arc GIS Version 9, the land suitability analysis, carrying capacity analysis, financial analysis; (2) Valuing the level of development consisting of the typology analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis, scalogram analysis, centrality analysis, methods comparison of exponential (MPE), analysis hierarchy process (AHP) with criterium decision plus (CDP), structural interpretative modeling analysis (ISM); (3) Sustainability status of the region by using analysis of multidimensional scaling (MDS) called Rap-MINAKU, monte carlo analysis and prospective analysis; and (4) Building a development of marine culture-based minapolitan model with analysis of dynamic systems with powersim constructor version 2.5d. The results suggest that seaweed farming has a profitable business opportunities in the development of minapolitan in Kupang regency that is currently in the category of the strata pre-minapolitan II region seen from the completeness of the facilities owned by each village, there are six villages with a more advanced stage of development, 7 villages with the average development level, and 11 villages with a level of development lags. In a multidimensional in Kupang regency, aquaculture region sustained quite sensitive to 18 attributes that affect the increase sustainable index. The analysis showed each component of the dynamic system show a tendency to form a positive growth curve (positive growth) following an exponential curve. Policy direction in the development of marine culture in Kupang regency is the development of seaweed farming. Strategy should be to establish a production center and its hinterland with complete facilities and infrastructure needed, move the commodity diversification of seaweed processing in domestic industry, increase production of seaweed in minapolitan area through extension to the maximum limit, increasing the capacity of farmers, increase coordination and good partnerships in all relevant stakeholders, and improve the status of sustainability for the development of minapolitan in Kupang regency in the short term, medium term and long-term.

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
