Judul: Perception and Participation of Local People in Community Based Forest Plantation Program in Sarolangun Regency, Jambi
Abstrak: The failure of supply timbers to keep pace with industrial demand and conflicts over land property rights in community level have increased the number of forest and land degradation especially in production forest. In an effort to address this problem, the Indonesian Government introduced a new community-based forest plantation program in 2007 called Hutan Tanaman Rakyat (HTR), which allows local communities to have rights and incentives for developing timber plantations on state forest lands. The objectives of this study are to understand local perceptions on HTR regulations, to identify their participation in HTR program, to identify factors influencing their decisions to join the program, and to analyze the correlation between their social economic characteristics and perceptions with their participations in HTR activities. Data and information was gathered from a survey of 81 households from Taman Bandung, Seko Besar and Lamban Sigatal villages in Sarolangun Regency, Jambi. The results of this study showed that the perception level on HTR regulations of local community is in middle level except for regulation about inheritance, rights and obligations which are still in the lower level. Due to relatively new program which started in 2009, the participation level of local community in HTR is still low. This study also showed that ownership of land in HTR area, distance to the area, local perceptions of land allocation, HTR schemes, time period and concession area, inheritance law, rights and obligations, local institution, and socialization activities have significantly influencing people decision in joining HTR. Based on logistic regression models, the perception variables are better in explaining someone’s opportunity to join HTR than social economic variables, but both variables have high correlation with participation level.

Judul: Babesiosis pada kuda
Abstrak: Babesiosis pada kuda adalah penyakit menular yang di- sebabkan oleh Babesia caballi dan Babesia equi, yaitu pa- rasit protozoa perusak sel darah yang termasuk dalam genus Babesia. B. equi diduga oleh beberapa ahli termasuk dalam genus Theileria. Karena itu klasifikasi genus Babesia di- bicarakan dan siklus hidup B. caballi dan B. equi diulas. Kuda pada semua umur dapat terserang oleh dua parasite tersebut di atas. Tetapi kuda-kuda yang sudah dewasa (tua) lebih rentan jika dibandingkan dengan kuda-kuda yang masih muda. Kasus-kasus yang paling sering dijumpai adalah kasus-kasus yang bersifat akut walaupun kasus-kasus yang bersifat perakut, subakut dan kronik kadang-kadang terlihat. Serangan oleh parasit Babesia biasanya menyebabkan kerusаkan sel darah merah yang hebat sehingga kuda-kuda yang terserang menderita anemia hebat yang dapat menyebabkan kematian bila tidak segera diobati. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut perlu dilakukan diagnosis yang tepat dan sedini mungkin. Diagnosis dapat dilakukan dengan cara memeriksa gejala-gejala klinik, preparat ulas darah, inokulasi hewan lain dan dengan mengadakan pemeriksaan secara serologik. Gejala-gejala klinik babesiosis pada kuda yang bersifat akut yang paling sering terlihat, ialah : nafsu makan menurun/hilang, lesu, bulu suram dan tidak mau bergerak. Kuda yang dilepaskan di padang rumput akan mengasingkan diri dan jalan sempoyongan. Faeces yang keluar berwarna cok- lat gelap, diselaputi lendir yang berwarna kekuningan dan urimenya berwarna merah tua. Temperatur tubuh meningkat menjadi 39.5 - 41°C dan pulsus meningkat. Terlihat dispnoe, perdarahan petechi pada mukosa membrana nictitans dan conjunctiva yang lebih pucat dari normal dan juga icteris. Kasus-kasus yang bersifat subakut gejala-gejalanya lebih ringan, tetapi bila tidak segera diobati maka gejala- gejala tersebut secara cepat menjadi hebat. Persendian lutut dan persendian gelang puyuh membengkak dan padanya ter- lihat oedema. Pada abdomen, dada dan kepala juga dapat di- temukan oedema. Gejala-gejala klinik yang terlihat pada kasus kronik adalah penurunan kondisi tubuh kuda secara progresif walaupun diberi makan yang banyak. Perubahan temperatur tidak jelas, nafsu makan berubah-ubah, icterus tidak jelas dan anemia mungkin hanya dapat dideteksi dengan menghitung sel darah merah dan kadar hematocrit…dst
