Judul: The design of sustainable seaweed industry cluster development model
Abstrak: The application of cluster approach is performed to further utilize and develop seaweed industry to become an integrated, powerful industry from upstream to downstream and highly competitive one. The purpose of this research was to design a model of seaweed industry cluster development by using economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainable development approach. This model was composed of three key sub-models, i.e.: diagnosis of feasibility of development, operations development, and prediction of performance development. The model formulation used both of soft and hard system methodology. This research produced a decision support system named Model KlasteRula, which used a programming language called Visual Basic Version 6. This model can be used to assist in the decision making process of sustainable seaweed industry cluster development. The model design was implemented in Sumenep district, East Java province. From the result of model implementation, it showed that the model has been able to perform simulations and produced behaviors that match the expected system. Sustainable seaweed industry cluster development was predicted to be able to enhance profits of business actors in the cluster, increase labor absorption, and suppress potential environmental pollution caused by agro-industry liquid waste through the recycling process, so as to increase water-use efficiency.

Judul: Cluster-based capture fishery development model in Ambon City
Abstrak: Ambon City is located in the southern part of Ambon island which is surrounded by the Banda Sea and the Maluku Sea. This city consists of marine areas (52%) and 32 coastal villages which do not have sufficient land-based natural resources, either plantation or mineral resources or mining. Although economic growth of the city was highest for 5 years, poverty is still one of big issues for these coastal villages. This research was designed to provide a model of village-level fisheries development using clustering approach. In this model, villages are grouped into six clusters based on the fisheries development status of the village, the feasibility of fisheries business units, access to market networks, and level of business ownerships. This study also examined some potential factors of fisheries development. Working capital, coral reefs, fishing fleets, all factors in the socio-cultural dimensions, and facilities and village infrastructure require no special attention due to their insignificant effect on the financial performance of fisheries business. Meanwhile, as common in four of the six clusters, topography and demography, settlement, and business profits need some attentions. Factors that should be developed in four clusters are fishing gear, return on investment, and business continuity. AHP indicates three important policies that are common among clusters. These are related to issues on potential resources of fish, accommodating regulation or law, and technology support. Issues on technical development is a priority interest in the majority of the clusters, followed by issues on prospective market, and fisheries infrastructures. Finally, the most prioritized strategic policies for the development of coastal fishing village in Ambon is the promotion and development of human resources. It shows that local stakeholders seriously consider good quality human resources as one of success keys of marine and coastal resources utilization and a strategic instrument to sistematically reduce poverty of coastal villagers. Linking the various elements or phenomena or variables in this study, established in propositions that make up a model. Model-based development of fishing industry cluster villages in Ambon city is named Model Manggurebe Maju. Term in the local language can be interpreted as an effort to move forward.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
