Judul: Pengaruh garis rekat glulam terhadap serangan rayap tanah (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren)
Abstrak: The condition of Indonesian forests are getting decrease resulted in the decreasing tendency of annual timber production from natural forests even in terms of quality and quantity. On the other hand the increasing in population, welfare, and technology will cause the increasing in community needs to the wood products from time to time. This issue leads to the occurrence of wood scarcity, the solution to cope with it is by replacing the usage of solid wood for construction materials with the usage of glulam (Glued Laminated Timber). According to Seng (1990), the wood is considered durable if it has a long service life (at least 20 years). The Durability of wood is important to be known because it is closely linked to its usage (Sumarni and Muslich 2007). Therefore, the glulam was tested against termites attack (Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgreen) to determine the extent of the glulam durability.

Judul: Ketahanan Glulam dari Bambu Andong (Gigantochloa pseudoarundinacea) terhadap Serangan Rayap Tanah
Abstrak: Bambu merupakan hasil hutan bukan kayu yang dapat dijadikan salah satu alternatif dalam pengurangan penggunaan kayu, salah satunya yaitu pembuatan glulam (glue laminated) berbahan dasar bambu andong. Glulam adalah produk rekayasa yang terbuat dari dua atau lebih lapisan kayu yang disebut dengan laminasi yang direkat dengan arah sejajar serat satu sama lain. Bahan baku bambu memiliki tingkat keawetan yang rendah sehingga rentan terhadap organisme perusak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis ketahanan glulam bambu andong (G. pseudoarundinaceae) terhadap serangan rayap tanah skala laboratorium dan lapangan. Pengujian keawetan glulam dilakukan berdasarkan skala laboratorium mengacu pada standar JIS K 1571-2004 sementara uji kubur mengacu pada standar ASTM D 1758-2006. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada pengujian laboratorium keawetan glulam terhadap serangan rayap tanah C. curvignathus berdasarkan SNI 01.7207-2014 termasuk kelas awet II (tahan) sedangkan pada pengujian lapang keawetan glulam terhadap serangan rayap tanah berdasarkan ASTM D 1758-2006 temasuk nilai 7

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.
