Judul: The role of infrastructure as an accelerator the dynamic of agricultural base sectoral and regional economy
Abstrak: Infrastructure is the foundation for all economic activity and industry. The infrastructure provision in Indonesia faci ng on the limited of public financial and low of private investment problems. The financiang and funding availability for development of infrastructure in various islands and regions are the biggest obstacle. As the consuquently of these fundings limitations, the strategy for prioritying the limited fiscal available could be focosed for a spesific sector and regions which have strategic importance for expanding wide economic activities. The objectives of this research is to analize the infrastructure role as an accelerator of agricultural base sectoral and regional economy. Method of analysis is carried out by combining estimated production function which develop outside traditional CGE. The top-down Regional Computable General Equilibrium economic model (CGE) was employed. The estimation of production function shows that rice production and aggregate agricultural sector are more responsive to irrigation infrastructure. While othe r sectors are more responsive on road infrastructure.

Judul: Model of Infrastructure Development at the Tertiary Level of Irrigated Paddy Field
Abstrak: Food production will decline by increasing the conversion of agricultural land. Important factor that also affect food production in Indonesia is generally Indonesian farmers are conventional farmers who live below the poverty line. One of solution to overcome the low production of food and farmer's low income is the development of farm infrastructures on agricultural land. The purpose of study were (1) to identify the infrastructures needed at the tertiary level of irrigated paddy field, (2) to build a dynamic model of infrastructure development at the tertiary level of irrigated paddy field and (3) to make recommendations on development of infrastructure at the tertiary level of irrigated paddy field. Steps of the systematic approach to build the farm infrastructure model at the tertiary level in irrigated paddy field were analysis of needs, problem formulation, system identification, system modeling (STELLA), model validation, sensitivity analysis and model simulation. Farmers need a more adequate farm infrastructure, such as pipe irrigation and farm roads for on-farm infrastructures and rice processing complex and groat processing machine for off-farm infrastructure. Model of infrastructure development at the tertiary level of irrigated paddy field represented the real system and it was used to design the infrastructure development at the tertiary level of irrigated paddy field. Infrastructures development should be done in integrated farming system with minimum total area of 3000 hectares. It provided the benefits for the farmers if every farmer had a minimum of 3 hectares of land area.

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
