Judul: Ekostruktur mangrove dan hubungannya dengan karakteristik lingkungan serta kapasitas asimilasi pesisir pulau sepanjang kabupaten Sumenep Madura
Abstrak: The main problem that occurs on small islands particularly and the main island generally are the risk of contamination and declining environmental quality. Mangrove ecosystem is known to have the function and role in controlling environmental pollution. Therefore this study aims to identify the mangroves eco-structure on Sepanjang Island, to identify the relationship of mangroves with chemical and physics environment characteristics, to quantify organik waste loads and to analyze assimilation capacity of mangrove ecosystem to organik waste on the coastal of Sepanjang Island,. This study was conducted by analyzing the mangrove eco-structure from INP and the index of H’, E, or D. While the quality of water and sediment are major parameters in addition to mangrove. Macrozoobentos also become one of the measured parameter. The results showed that mangrove eco-structure on research sites were dominated by famili Rhizohoraceae. Pollutants load that showed the quality of environmental on mangrove ecosystems generally on tolerated conditions for marine life and has a value of assimilation capacity which are at under capacity condition.

Judul: Estimation of Mangrove Carbon Sequestration Based  on Environmental Characteristics in the Coastal Area of Tanjung Village, Sumenep,  Madura
Abstrak: Ekosistem pesisir memiliki potensi serapan karbon yang besar dan mampu menyimpannya hingga ribuan tahun. Mangrove menyerap CO2 dan mengubahnya menjadi karbon organik (karbohidrat) melalui proses fotosintesis. Oleh karena itu, penelitian perlu dilakukan untuk mengetahui potensi simpanan dan serapan karbon ekositem mangrove di pesisir Desa Tanjung, Kabupaten Sumenep, Madura. Data serapan dan simpanan karbon diperoleh menggunakan metode alometrik dan Walkley and Black. Kawasan mangrove di Pesisir Desa Tanjung memiliki luasan 13,75 ha. Spesies mangrove yang mendominasi di pesisir Desa Tanjung yaitu spesies Sonneratia alba. Stasiun 4 memiliki simpanan dan serapan karbon mangrove tertinggi yaitu 18,65 ton C/ha dan 68,39 ton CO2eq/ha. Simpanan karbon sedimen tertinggi terdapat di Stasiun 4 (35,87 ton C/ha). Mangrove Desa Tanjung mampu menyimpan karbon sebesar 491,88 ton C dengan nilai serapan karbon pada tegakan mangrove yaitu 1543,33 ton CO2eq., Coastal ecosystems have the potential to absorb large amounts of carbon and are able to store it for thousands of years. These ecosystems include seagrass ecosystems, salt marsh ecosystems and mangrove ecosystems. Mangroves absorb CO2 and convert it into organic carbon (carbohydrates) through the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, research needs to be carried out to determine the potential for carbon storage and sequestration in the mangrove ecosystem on the coast of Tanjung Village, Sumenep Regency, Madura. Allometric and Walkley and Black methods obtained carbon sequestration and storage data. The mangrove area on the coast of Tanjung Village has an area of 13,75 ha. Mangrove species that dominates Tanjung Village’s coast is Sonneratia alba. Station 4 has the highest mangrove carbon storage and sequestration, which were 18,65 ton C/ha and 68,39 ton CO2eq/ha. The highest sediment carbon storage was at Station 4 (35,87 ton C/ha). Tanjung Village mangroves were capable of storing carbon of 491,88 ton C with a carbon sequestration value in mangrove stands of 1543,33 ton CO2eq.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
