Judul: Sustainable farming systems for Rubber and Oil Palm Planning in Batang Pelepat Watershed Bungo District Jambi Province
Abstrak: Land for rubber and oil palm farmings in Batang Pelepat watershed were generally cultivated without adequate fertilization and soil and water conservation techniques. This practice caused high erosion and in turn gradually decreased land productivity and farmer’s income. The objectives of this research were:(1) to identify land characteristics and farming systems of rubber and oil palm (FSROP) types, (2) to study impacts of FSROP on land characteristic, run off and erosion (ROE) rate, crop production and farmer’s income and (3) to design sustainable FSROP. Identification of FSROP characteristics were carried out by using descriptive analysis. Impacts of FSROP on ROE was measured in small erosion plot and analyzed using variance analysis and Duncan New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT). The sustainable FSROP was formulated by simulation technique using universal of soil loss equation (USLE) and multiple goal programming models. The results of the research showed that farming system in Batang Pelepat watershed consisted of five types of rubber farming systems and two types of oil palm farming systems. All of those farming systems were not able to fulfill indicators of sustainable agriculture (ISA). Cultivated land resulted higher ROE than forest. However among the cultivated land sesap karet caused the lowest ROE (3.53 mm and 13.93 ton/ha/year). The sustainable FSROP could be accomplished by application of combination agrotechnologies including balance fertilization using urea, SP-36, KCl and MgSO4. Meanwhile, the ISA were accomplished by application of Legum Cover Crop (LCC) and countour cropping (on slope 3–14%) and LCC and gulud terrace (on slope 15–30%). The sesap karet I (mixed of rubber-manau-kayu sungkai) performed the most optimum ISA. The sesap karet I generated erosion of 0.61 – 3.46 ton/ha/year and the farmer’s income Rp18 320 000 –18 590 000/ha/year.

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.
