Judul: Desain Taman Cilaki Atas Kota Bandung Berbasis Ekologi
Abstrak: Urban park is a green open space which accomodate social activities needs. Aesthetic and ecological space are another function of urban park. Bandung is one of many cities which have many urban parks, with the potency to provide an ecological balance in the city. However, urban parks of which are available in most cases created simply for beautification and social function, while the other function is still can be maximized. The function of urban parks that are often forgotten is the controller of ecological balance. Upper Cilaki Bandung Urban Park is one of it. Urban park which maximizing ecological function and understanding the ecological characteristics of the landscape is needed. One of the ecological aspects which are becoming main point in park issues is the hydrological aspect. The characteristics of park topography which is relatively steep, causing many topsoil removal. A descriptive analysis was carried out to determine the physical characteristics and the design of the park. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the user's characteristics of urban park to find out the needs and expectations of users especially for ecological sustainability of the environment. Then, the functional, aesthetic, and ecologic urban park design will be produced. The basic concepts used are eco urban park. In the design process, it is important to note the recreation and ecological aspects. Ecology which is mentioned here cover a natural environmental cycle and preservation of local culture. The design concept applying nervous patterns to create the feel of the city. These patterns become the focal point that breaks down the natural impression of the park. Seven retention ponds which are connected with bioswale built to support the ecological function. The pond will maximize the infiltration of water run off cached as well as irrigation needs. This research is expected to be a consideration and guidelines in designing the urban parks based on ecology.

Judul: Desain Taman Kota Cilegon Berbasis Konsep Eco-Design
Abstrak: Cilegon ialah kota pada Provinsi Banten yang terletak diujung barat Pulau Jawa. Pembangunan kota yang berkembang sangat cepat mengakibatkan kerusakan lingkungan seperti meningkatnya polusi udara dan urban heat island. Salah satu upaya untuk meminimalisir efek tersebut adalah dengan mengoptimalkan fungsi ekologis dari Ruang Terbuka Hijau melalui desain taman kota, yang faktanya belum dimiliki Kota Cilegon. Taman tersebut merupakan lahan eks Pasar Baru yang sudah direlokasi dengan total luas 2,3 Ha. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk membuat suatu inovasi dalam desain yang eklogis dari taman kota yang akan menjadi identitas Kota Cilegon dengan mengakomodasi aktivitas rekreasi untuk warganya. Menggunakan metode deskriptif melalui survei, kuisioner serta interview. Konsep dasar yang diterapkan ialah eco-urbanscape restoration dengan penekanan restorasi habitat wetland yang dahulu banyak terdapat di Kota Cilegon. Implementasi desain ekologis berdasarkan indikator seperti: restorasi habitat satwa liar, efisinesi energi, penggunaan material ramah lingkungan, desain akomodatif, pengelolaan air limbah dan pengontrol banjir. Konsep desain yang diaplikasikan ialah pola percabangan ranting pada delta wetland yang ditransformasikan berupa pola geometris dan organik yang harmonis untuk mendapatkan kesan yang berbeda-beda pada tapak. Hasil akhir penelitian ini berupa pembagian ruang menjadi 4 bagian yaitu: ruang reservasi satwa liar (20%), ruang penyangga atau ruang eco-experience (30%), ruang rekreasi (40%) dan ruang penerimaan (10%). Desain yang dibuat diharapkan sebagai rekomendasi untuk desain Taman Kota Cilegon sebagai area rekreasi ruang luar berbasis ekologi.

Judul: Evaluation of Influenza Antibody Titers in Serum and Egg Yolk of Layers Vaccinated with Influenza Vaccines.
Abstrak: Influenza belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family which causes upper and lower respiratory tract infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate influenza-A specific antibody titers from serum and egg yolk of hens vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza vaccines. Three Hy-line Brown layers were vaccinated with quadrivalent influenza type A and B inactivated vaccines. Vaccination was carried out three times at a dose of 0.25 ml/chicken via the intramuscular route. The first vaccination was carried out at 24 weeks of age, then boosters were performed at 28 and 32 weeks of age. Serum and egg yolk were collected every week for 20 weeks since the first vaccination. Influenza A H3N2 and H1N1 antibody titers were determined using hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test and agar-gel-precipitation (AGP) test. Influenza-A H3N2 and H1N1 specific antibodies were detected in both serum and egg yolk from the first to twenty weeks after the initial vaccination. Highest HI geometric mean titer (GMT) of H1N1 antibody reached 26.67 HIU at nine weeks post first vaccination (p.f.v), while H3N2 antibody reached 26 HIU at six weeks p.f.v. Our result showed that influenza antibodies can be produced in layers using quadrivalent vaccines and layer chickens are able to produce equivalent antibody levels for each influenza subtype.
