Judul: Community of Superfamily Papilionoidea Butterflies at Nature Educational Conservation Centre Bodogol, Sukabumi, West Java
Abstrak: Changes of habitats which functioned as butterfly habitat have implicated to butterfly abundance. Aim of this research was to study Papilionoidea butterfly diversity based on habitat types i.e heterogenous, coniferous forest, and agricultural land. Observations of butterflies were conducted from July to December 2010 by scan sampling method. `Data were analyzed by using Shannon diversity index, equitability, Sorensen similarity, relative density, and frequency of occurance. Data were also shown in biplot using Principle Component Analysis and Correspondence Analysis. Result showed that as many as 132 species from 3864 individuals of butterflies the species were recorded into 4 families i.e Lycaenidae (21 species), Nymphalidae (80 species), Papilionidae (15 species), and Pieridae (17 species) were recorded. Diversity of butterflies at heterogeneous forest was highest, followed by agricultural land and coniferous forest. Similarity of butterflies between heterogenous and coniferous forest was 74%, between heterogenous forest and the agricultural land was 64%, and between coniferous forest and agricultural land was 70%. Family Nymphalidae has a higher density in heterogenous and coniferous forest. Whereas Papilionidae, Lycaenidae, and Pieridae were dominant in agricultural land. Heterogenous and coniferous forest were characterized by high humidity and lower temperature, light intensity and wind speed. Agricultural land was characterized by lower humidity and higher temperature, light intensity, and wind speed.

Judul: Keanekaragaman Jenis Kupu-Kupu di Kawasan Wisata Alam Lembah Cilengkrang Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai
Abstrak: Butterfly is a types of insects that have significant value as pollinators, prey for insectivorous and indicators of environmental quality. Lembah Cilengkrang is one of the natural attractions of Gunung Ciremai National Park (GCNP), which has suitable conditions as a butterfly habitat. Habitat components which required by the butterfly to life includes physical components and biotic habitat. The physical components play an important role, namely temperature, humidity, sunlight and the presence of water, while biotic factors are the availability of plants as sources of food and shelter. Biodiversity studies have been carried out in the Lembah Cilengkrang, but the diversiy data of butterflies have not been done yet, so this research needs to be done in order to add the biodiversity data and as the reference for area management of nature tourism in Lembah Cilengkrang. The purpose of this study was to identify the diversity of butterflies and analyze the differences in the level of richness, diversity, evenness and similarity of butterfly on terrestrial and riparian habitat. The research was done in April and May 2012. The collected data including butterfly diversity and habitat characteristics include physical factors and biotic habitat. Diversity of butterflies are known by using transects methods along the tour route which divided into two paths namely terrestrial and riparian habitat path. Buttefly data was collected in the morning (8:00 to 12:00) and afternoon (15:00 to 17:00) with five repetitions of each habitat type. Diversity was calculated using diversity index (H '), richness index (Dmg), evenness index (E), dominance and similarity types index (Sj). Butterflies were found as many as 95 species with a number of individuals as much as 2044 individuals from five families, namely Papilionidae (9 species), Pieridae (10 species), Nymphalidae (46 species), Lycaenidae (14 species) and Hesperidae (16 species). Among the total number of butterfly species founded, there were two types of butterflies which protected by the government through PP. 7 of 1999 and included in Appendix II of CITES, namely Troides helena and Troides cuneifera. Riparian habitat has higher richness, diversity and evenness than terrestrial habitats. Differences of butterfly diversity can be influenced by physical factor and biotic habitats where feed plants and water sources presence

Judul: Urolitiasis pada anjing
Abstrak: Urolitiasis adalah suatu penyakit dimana terjadi proses pengendapan batu pada traktus urinaria. Kalkuli yang paling banyak dijumpai pada kasus urolitiasis anjing adalah kalkuli magnesium amonium fosfat (struvite), jika dibandingkan dengan kalkuli oksalat, sistin dan urat (Osborne et al., 1982). Infeksi oleh Staphylococcus aureus pada traktus urinaria memgang peranan penting dalam proses pembentukan kalkuli, karena bakteri tersebut dapat menghasilkan enzim urease, raktor predisposisi tidak dapat dinisankan dari infeksi traktus urinaria. Pada anjing, tempat yang banyak didapati pengandapan kalkuli adalah kantung air kemih dan uretra, sedangkan pada ginjalnya jarang. Pada anjing jantan lebih sering kejadiannya dibanding dengan pada anjing betina, karena anatomi traktus urinaria pada anjing jantan lebih memungkinkan untuk terjadinya obstruksi, yaitu lebih panjang dan sempit. Besarnya, kalkuli bervariasi, dari kecil dan halus seperti pasir sampai besar dan kasar seperti batu karang. ...
