Judul: Evaluasi Pelaksanaan Kurikulum Sistem Mayor-Minor Program Pendidikan Sarjana (S1) Institut Pertanian Bogor.
Abstrak: Kurikulum sistem mayor-minor merupakan salah satu bentuk implementasi kebijakan mutu IPB dalam menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten, menguasai ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, dan seni yang relevan untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat secara efisien dan akuntabel. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui persepsi sivitas akademika IPB terhadap pelaksanaan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor, mengetahui preferensi sivitas akademika IPB mengenai minor yang mendukung kompetensi mayor dan mengidentifikasi keunggulan dan kelemahan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer yang diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner. Populasi yang diamati pada penelitian ini adalah dosen IPB dan mahasiswa IPB angkatan 42 serta angkatan 43. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis statistika deskriptif dan analisis biplot. Secara umum baik dosen maupun mahasiswa menilai kurikulum sistem mayor-minor memiliki banyak keunggulan bila dibandingkan dengan kurikulum sebelumnya asalkan kendala-kendala teknis dapat diatasi. Salah satu keunggulan kurikulum sisten mayor-minor yang terpenting adalah meningkatkan kompetensi mahasiswa dan menambah wawasan mahasiswa dari bidang keilmuan lainnya. Pelaksanaan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor selama ini belum optimal terutama masalah penjadwalan. Sebaiknya perkuliahan disesuaikan dengan kapasitas ruang kuliah dan juga harus mempertimbangkan latar belakang dari peserta perkuliahan agar ilmu yang disampaikan dapat diterima dengan baik. Umumnya mahasiswa antusias mengikuti mata kuliah minor atau supporting course karena dirasa tidak lebih sulit dibandingkan dengan mata kuliah mayor. Faktor terpenting yang menjadi alasan dalam pemilihan minor atau supporting course adalah kesesuaian dengan minat. Dalam meningkatkan kompetensi mayor, para dosen berpendapat perlunya menambah porsi mata kuliah mayor dengan cara mendisain kurikulum TPB supaya lebih mendukung mayor atau menyediakan mata kuliah pilihan mayor. Kekurangan-kekurangan yang selama ini muncul dalam pelaksanaan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor dapat diatasi dengan melakukan penggerombolan pada minor-minor yang ada sesuai dengan mayor yang bersangkutan sehingga diharapkan penjadwalan perkuliahan lebih fokus dan mahasiswa lebih terarah untuk memilih minor yang sesuai. Dalam melakukan penggerombolan minor perlu mempertimbangkan kesesuaian kompetensi mayor dan kesesuaian minat mahasiswa pada mayor yang bersangkutan.

Judul: Penjadwalan Mata Kuliah Mayor-Minor: Studi Kasus di FMIPA IPB
Abstrak: A curriculum called a major-minor curriculum has been used at Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) in the last six years. Several problems have been identified during the implementation of curriculum, one of them is related to the course scheduling. The problem on course scheduling has become a main problem in the implementation of the curriculum, because it has been found that students from a particular major would not be able to take courses from his/her chosen minor, since the courses are scheduled at the same time. This study addresses the problem on course scheduling for the major-minor curriculum. This problem is modeled as an integer linear program. The model is implemented for scheduling case at FMIPA IPB. The development of the model is initiated by identifying the necessary requirements for the course scheduling. All of these requirements are then formulated as linear equalities and or inequalities. The objective function is to minimize the rejection indicators of lecturers related to the days and time period of courses in the schedule. Several assumptions are used in this model for simplification, one of them, for example all of the classrooms are assumed to be homogen (capacity, equipment, etc.). The model can be improved later by relaxing these assumptions. The solution of the model is obtained using LINGO 11.0. This study produces a scheduling for the course that fulfills all of the requirements for major-minor curricullum at FMIPA IPB. The scheduling minimizes the rejection indicators of lecturers related to the days and time period of courses in the schedule.

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.
