Judul: Studi Kasus Penyakit Saluran Pernapasan Atas di Kucing di Klinik Hewan Cimanggu Indonesia Berdasarkan Musim 2019
Abstrak: Feline upper respiratory tract disease has become very common in cats. The tropical season in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia can affect this disease in the feline population. The aim of this case study was to correlate feline upper respiratory tract disease in vaccinated and unvaccinated cats with Indonesia’s seasons in the year 2019. The method was by collecting data on feline patients’ clinical signs from Klinik Hewan Cimanggu’s annual report. The data was then rearranged into monthly distribution tables. The clinical signs of feline upper respiratory tract diseases were recorded. These clinical signs were flu, sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath and throat inflammation. Indonesia has two seasons, namely the rainy and dry season. This disease occurs frequently from October to March, which is during the rainy season. Apart from the rainy season, there is an increase in air humidity which cause the increase in viability of the virus and an increase in the spread of respiratory viruses. The decrease in cases occurred in May, July and August where these months were included in the dry season, while in April, June and September in the dry season, there were an increase in cases. Another factor that influences the occurrence of the cases other than climate is low immunity due to unvaccinated hosts. Unvaccinated cats have a higher chance of getting infected than vaccinated cats. However, some vaccinated cats were still infected as vaccination does not guarantee full protection from feline upper respiratory tract disease., Penyakit saluran pernapasan atas pada kucing telah menjadi sangat umum pada kucing. Musim tropis di Bogor, Jawa Barat, Indonesia dapat memengaruhi penyakit ini pada populasi kucing. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengkorelasikan penyakit saluran pernapasan pada kucing yang divaksinasi dan tidak divaksinasi dikaitkan dengan musim di Indonesia tahun 2019. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan mengumpulkan data pasien kucing berupa gejala klinis yang tampak yang berasal dari laporan tahunan Klinik Hewan Cimanggu. Data tersebut kemudian disusun kembali menjadi tabel distribusi bulanan. Tanda-tanda klinis penyakit saluran pernapasan pada kucing dicatat. Tanda klinis tersebut adalah flu, bersin, batuk, sesak napas dan radang tenggorokan. Indonesia memiliki dua musim, yaitu musim hujan dan musim kemarau. Kasus penyakit saluran pernapasan banyak terjadi di bulan Oktober sampai Maret dimana di bulan tersebut termasuk musim penghujan. Selain musim hujan terjadi peningkatan kelembaban udara yang menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan kelangsungan hidup dari virus dan peningkatan penyebaran virus saluran pernafasan. Penurunan kasus terjadi pada bulan Mei, Juli dan Agustus dimana bulan tersebut masuk dalam musim kemarau, sedangkan pada April, Juni dan September di musim kemarau terjadi peningkatan kasus. Faktor lainnya yang memengaruhi terjadinya kasus selain iklim adalah faktor imunitas inang yang rendah yang disebabkan karena inang belum tervaksinasi. Kucing yang tidak divaksinasi memiliki kemungkinan lebih tinggi untuk terinfeksi dibandingkan kucing yang divaksinasi. Namun, beberapa kucing yang divaksinasi masih tertular karena vaksinasi tidak menjamin perlindungan penuh dari penyakit pernapasan.

Judul: The Incidence and Identification of Dipylidiasis in Cats at Rvet Bogor Clinic from September 2020-2021
Abstrak: Kucing merupakan salah satu hewan kesayangan yang banyak dipelihara di Indonesia. Salah satu penyakit yang sering terjadi pada kucing yaitu dipylidiasis dan disebabkan oleh adanya infeksi spesies cacing Dipylidium caninum. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui tingkat kejadian dipylidiasis di klinik Rvet Bogor serta teknik diagnosis yang digunakan untuk identifikasi cacing Dipylidium caninum. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pemeriksaan natif feses kucing dan pengambilan data rekam medis yang dilakukan di klinik Rvet Bogor selama periode September 2020-2021. Hasil pemeriksaan pada feses kucing Nuna menunjukan positif ditemukan telur dan proglotid cacing Dipylidium caninum. Seluruh data rekam medis infeksi Dipylidium caninum pada kucing di klinik sebanyak 35 kasus. Tingkat kejadian dipylidiasis tertinggi pada bulan Februari hingga Maret saat musim hujan dan infeksi terendah pada bulan Agustus dan September pada saat musim kemarau. Tingginya tingkat kejadian infeksi Dipylidium caninum dipengaruhi oleh faktor kondisi cuaca dan lingkungan yang berperan dalam penularan infeksi cacing pada kucing., Cats are one of the most popular pets in Indonesia. One of the diseases that often occurs in cats is dipylidiasis, caused by infection of a worm species Dipylidium caninum. This study aims to determine the incidence rate of dipylidiasis at the Rvet Bogor clinic and the diagnosis technique was used in identify Dipylidium caninum. The method used in this study was an microscopic examination on native cat feces samples. A medical record data were collected from the Rvet Bogor clinic at period of September 2020-2021. The examination results of Nuna cat feces samples showed appearance of are 35 Dipylidium caninum cases were found of all evaluated medical records of cats infection at the period. The highest incidence of dipylidiasis was identified at period of February to March during the rainy season and the lowest infection was at August to September during the dry season. The high incidence of Dipylidium caninum infection influenced by weather and environmental factors, which play a role in transmitting helminth infections to cats.

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
