Judul: Profile and Valuation of Seagrass Ecosystem in Tidung Besar Island, Seribu Islands, DKI Jakarta for Sustainable Utilization
Abstrak: Pengelolaan ekosistem lamun yang tepat perlu dilakukan untuk mencapai keberlanjutan, pendekatan yang dilakukan yaitu dengan jasa ekosistem. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun strategi pengelolaan ekosistem lamun Pulau Tidung dengan pendekatan profil dan valuasi ekosistem lamun. Data primer yang diambil berupa data ekologi lamun dan data sekunder yang terkait dengan jasa lamun sebagai pelindung pesisir dan penyerap serta penyimpan karbon. Analisis yang dilakukan berupa analisis kesesuaian wisata (IKW), daya dukung kawasan, dan willingness to pay, serta analisis SWOT untuk menyusun strategi pengelolaan. Hasil yang didapatkan tutupan lamun berkisar 12,12% - 56,40% dimana tergolong kedalam status kurang kaya/kurang sehat. Total nilai ekonomi lamun di Pulau Tidung Besar yaitu Rp13.480.524.018/tahun. Nilai ekonomi ekosistem lamun dipengaruhi oleh kondisi padang lamun. Strategi pengembangan yang dapat dilakukan adalah growth strategy., Proper management of the seagrass ecosystem is necessary to achieve sustainability, using an ecosystem services approach. This study aims to develop management strategy for the Tidung Island seagrass ecosystem through profiling and valuation of the seagrass ecosystem. Primary data collected include seagrass ecology data and secondary data related to seagrass services as coastal protection and carbon absorption and storage. Analyses conducted include tourism suitability index (TSI), carrying capacity, willingness to pay, and SWOT analysis to formulate management strategies. The results showed that seagrass coverage ranges from 12,12% up to 56,40%, which is classified as under poor/less healthy status.

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.
