Judul: Management Planning at Western Coastal Area of Kabupaten Pandegiang - Banten Province
Abstrak: Exploration and exploitation of coastal and marine resources need to be done properly based on integrated regional management planning. Since western part of coastal area in Kabupaten Pandeglang - Banten Province has experienced high environmental pressures due to intensive utilization, it needs to be managed integrated to achieve optimal results. The objectives of this research are to analyze coastal and marine resource characteristics, to develop a zonation, management zones and strategies, and management strategies for western part of coastal area in Kabupaten Pandeglang. The benefits of this research are optimal management and increasing community prosperity and local government of Kabupaten Pandeglang. The research was done in five sub-districts in Kabupaten Pandeglang consisting of Kecamatan Labuan, Jiput, Pagelaran, Panimbang, and Cigeulis. The materials and data used were maps, primary and secondary data. The equipments used in the research were equipments for water and soil sampling, laboratory analysis, coastal ecosystem observations, and location positioning. The methods consist of natural resources valuation, development of zonation using geographic information system, development of management zones and strategies, and strategies for integrated coastal area management. The results show that land and water resources quality is low, marine resources quality is low due to marine ecosystem pollution and degradation. The beach types are dominantly sand beach along Kecamatan Labuan, mud sediment beach along Kecamatan Pagelaran, and coral reef bed along Kecamatan Panimbang and Cigeulis. The results of zonation show zones of settlement in all study area, plantation in Kecamatan Labuan, Jiput and Cigeulis, forest in Kecamatan Labuan, Jiput and Cigeulis, wetland agriculture in Kecamatan Labuan, Jiput, Pagelaran and Panimbang, industry in Kecamatan Labuan, Pagelaran and Panimbang. Spices zone is in Kecamatan Jiput, Panimbang and Cigeulis. Fish pond culture is in Kecamatan Panimbang, while mangrove and silvo-fishery and coastal tourism are in Kecamatan Labuan, Pagelaran, Panimbang and Cigeulis. Marine tourism, coral reef, floating net (KJA) and sea grass cultures are in Kecamatan Labuan, Pagelaran, Panimbang and Cigeulis. Preservation zone is to be managed stt-ictly only for science and research purposes, conservation zone is for limited utilization, and development zone is to be managed for optimal economic development by considering commodity, sector and infrastructure which are existing and being developed. Strategies for western coastal zone management in Kabupaten Pandeglang include increasing of existing probabilities in line with decreasing weakness and challenges.

Judul: Gambaran Histomorfologi ginjal tikus putih pada kondisi Hiperglikemia dan pemberian vitamin E.
Abstrak: Diabetes melitus merupakan penyakit yang banyak dijumpai di berbagai belahan dunia. Pengobatan yang dilakukan hanya bertujuan untuk mempertahankan kadar gula darah mendekati kisaran normal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran histomorfologis ginjal tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) dalam kondisi hiperglikemia dan pengaruh pemberian vitamin E. Penelitian ini menggunakan 12 ekor tikus putih jantan galur Sprague Dawley (250 g) yang dibagi menjadi empat kelompok, yaitu kelompok ke-1 sebagai kontrol hanya diberi aquades, kelompok ke-2 diberi vitamin E 80 IU dengan dosis 0.2 ml/ekor, kelompok ke-3 diinduksi streptozotosin (STZ) dosis tunggal 50 mg/kgBB, dan kelompok ke-4 (perlakuan) diberi STZ dengan dosis tunggal dan vitamin E 80 IU selama 19 hari. Pengamatan histopatologi dilakukan dengan menghitung 25 glomerulus untuk setiap ginjal. Tubuli diamati secara deskriptif. Data yang didapat dianalisis dengan uji ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan untuk mengetahui tingkat perbedaan (p<0.05). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian vitamin E dengan dosis 80 IU/ekor selama 19 hari dapat mengurangi lesio pada glomerulus berupa degenerasi hingga nekrosa serta pembentukan amiloid pada kelompok diabetik dan non diabetik. Jumlah lesio tertinggi yaitu 19.167±1.155 terdapat pada kelompok STZ sedangkan jumlah lesio terendah yaitu 2.833±1.258 pada kelompok vitamin E.
