Abstrak: The urea fertilizer and manures were used excessively by farmers. It caused the accumulation of nitrate in Agriculture soils. The knowledge of soil capability to sorb nitrate is very important concerning the nitrate movement in soil profile. The objectives of this research were to (1) Characterization of physico-chemical properties of upland soils in Java island, (2) Finding the best equation to simulate nitrate sorption on upland soils in Java island, and (3) Correlation between physico-chemical properties and parameters of nitrate sorption. Prior to nitrate sorption, the soil was saturated with chloride ion. Afer that, the 2.00 g of soil was equilibrated in 5 ml solution containing 0.005 to 0.2 mol L-1 of KNO3. After equilibrium was reached, nitrate was determined by UV Spectrophotometer with wave length 210 nm and then was corrected with 275 nm for dissolve organic carbon (C). The nitrate sorption data were simulated with Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich equation. The results showed that the Freundlich equation simulated nitrate sorption better than Langmuir and Temkin. The R2 of equation of Freundlich ranged from 0.87 to 0.99. The nitrate sorption maxima (K) of Freundlich were positively correlated with total C (r=0.27), oxalate-extractable aluminum (Alo) (r=0.41), oxalate-extractable iron (Feo) (r=0.16), dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate-extractable aluminum (Ald) (r=0.34), dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate-extractable iron (Fed) (r=0.01) and Alo + ½ Feo (r=0.42). The K values were negatively correlated with clay content (r=-0.19). As for n values of Freundlich equation, it was positively correlated with total C (r=0.11).

Abstrak: This Study is a part of program series on the establishment and development of N, P, and K fertilizer recommendation for dry land food crops (dry land rice, corn, and soybean) on acit tropical soils based on soil and crop characteristics. Results of the preceding correlation study showed that the use of N-Kjeldahl and C-Walkley&Black extraction method - to determine, respectively, soil total nitrogen and organic carbon or organic matter - gave a sigiificant correlation with nitrogen absorption of the test plant. The content of soil organic-C can be used to estimate the availability of soil nitrogen since almost all of the soil nitrogen is found in the fonn of organic compounds.

Judul: Case Study of Gallbladder Mucocele and Treatment Used In Small Animals
Abstrak: Gallbladder mucocele (GM) is defined as distention of the gallbladder caused by an inappropriate accumulation or deposition of high concentrations of bile. The purpose of this case study is to study GM conditions in small animals and to report the clinical sign and characteristics of GM through the sonogram interpretation and blood chemistry test evaluation, and studies related to the therapy given and other treatments recommended. A 14-year-old Toy Poodle dog has been diagnosed with severe GM and cholecystitis. No pain signs were shown during the physical examination as asymptomatic is a common characteristic in the early stage of biliary related diseases. In this study Abdominal ultrasonography interpretation and blood chemistry evaluation was conducted in 2021-2022 and analyzed as a secondary data source. Ultrasonography results showed presence of hyperechoic, immobile deposits in gallbladder accompanied by wall thickening and enlarged in size, followed by a significant increase in the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This study has summarized mainly the diagnosis and treatments of GM in small animals and suitable alternatives treatments were recommended to encounter the GM conditions in small animals. The effectiveness of combined therapy shows the positive impact on the patient, the condition of GM has been under control.
