Abstrak: Border area of Bengkayang Regency is a great potency for agropolitan development region in terms of rural-urban developmental equity in the border area. The purposes of this research were (1) to identify the potency, development level, and sustainability of the border areas at Bengkayang Regency; (2) to develop a model of sustainable agropolitan region; and (3) to formulate policy direction and strategy of agropolitan development. Types of data analysis applied in this study incuding Analysis of Area Tipology, Principle Component Analysis (PCA), Cluster Analysis, Spatial Analysis, Analisis of Land Suitability, Analysis of Agricultural Business, Scalogram Analysis, Centralistic Analisis, Analitical Hierarkhy Process (AHP), Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), Prospective Analysis, and dynamic system analysis. Research findings showed that the border areas at Bengkayang Regency were the basis for agricultural commodities, namely corn, rainfed paddy field, oil palm, rubber, beef cattle, goat, and chicken. The actual land suitability belonged to S2 and S3 class having constraint factors of water availability, nutrient retention, and erosion threat. The border areas of Bengkayang Regency was in the stratum of Pre-Agropolitan Region II, consisting of two more advance developed village, 11 moderate village, and 16 less developed village (relatively left behind). The alternative model for agropolitan region was an integration of plantation, crop plant, and animal husbandry agropolitan region. Dimension of ecology status were low sustainable; economy, social, culture, law, and institution dimension were moderate sustainable; while infrastructure was unsustainable. Among the 47 attributes analyzed, 22 were sensitive to have an effect on the value of regional sustainability index. To increase the sustainability status in the future, a scenario that could be chosen was an up grading to all sensitive attributes. It was found out through a dynamic system analysis that up to the year of 2035 population tended to grow positively and exponentially. It was also similar to land use needed, agropolitan production, and farming profit, although at one moment it would move to an equilibrium point (stable equilibrium) because of the “Limit to Growth” process. It means, the model developed follows the basic pattern (archetype) of “Limit to Growth.” The direction of regional development policy of the border areas of Bengkayang Regency was a development of agropolitan region. To improve the model performance, optimistic scenario is required to be taken through bigger intervention to the influenced key variables in the model

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
