Abstrak: Baubau is a growing city in Southeast Sulawesi Province, which has potential to be developed as a marine tourism destination. However, the development should be done in a sustainable way to reduce the risk of ecological destruction in the future. The objectives of this research were to identify the suitability of coastal resources for marine ecotourism especially diving and to analyze optimum space of marine ecotourism based on minimal cost and economic value. The research was conducted in the Betoambari Sub District. The data were collected through sampling, direct observation of field conditions, distributing questionnaires, and in-depth interviews at the sites; tracking various related sources for secondary data. The result showed that the ecology-based ecotourism category diving was included in most appropriate category (S1) with area 12.49 ha and appropriate (S2) 67.28 ha; optimum space based on minimal cost and economic value was scenario 1 (70% target protection of coral reef), with net benefit Rp 12.653.950.000/years and area 58.82 ha.

Judul: Pengembangan dan keberlanjutan wisata bahari di wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau kecil Kota Makassar
Abstrak: This research aims: (1) to identify the potenty and condition of coastal areas and small islands of Makassar City for developing marine tourism, (2) to analyze suitability and carrying capacity of the coastal and small islands tourism areas of Makassar City for marine tourism development, (3) to analyze sustainability of the marine tourism development in coastal areas and small islands of Makassar City, (4) to formulate policy strategies for marine tourism development in Makassar City. Biogeophysics data are collected by field survey while social, economic, culture and policy data was collected by using interview techniques, supported by secondary data from the previous researches. Data analysis methods are spatial analysis using SIG, suitability and carrying capacity analysis of marine ecotourism, economic valuation analysis using Travel Cost Approach sustainable analysis use the RAPFISH approach, with five attributes i.e. ecology, economic, social-culture, technology and infrastructure, and law and institution. Furthermore, policy analysis use A’WOT (AHP and SWOT integration) approach. The results indicate that tourism area for diving has the largest suitable area i.e. 82,376 ha which are almost available in all islands with carrying capacity of 1435 person/ day. The S1 diving tourism are found in 5 islands and covering larger area (57,431 ha) than that of S2 diving tourism (24,945 ha). The result of Rapsaeco analysis indicate that sustainability on ecological (62.27%), economic (54.03%), social-cultural (55,53%) and law-institution (51.1%) dimensions are sustainable, however, dimension of technology and infrastructure (49,54%) are unsustainable. The results of policy analysis on SWOT components indicate that strength component place the first priority, then followed by threats, opportunities and weaknesses as a second, third and fourth priorities. Based on the analysis of policy strategies on development and sustainability of marine tourism of Makassar City there are 3 policy strategies which placed a high priority i.e. (1) development of snorkling and diving tourism on small islands by rehabilitation of important habitats (0.321) as the first priority, (2) development of coastal tourism on the coastal areas (0.195) as the second priority, and (3) determining of landscape of marine tourism area and infrastructures (0.161) as the third priority.

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.

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.

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
