Judul: Studi Faktor-Faktor Sosial Ekologi dalam Pengelolaan Ekosistem Mangrove Berbasis Masyarakat (Studi Kasus Desa Kartika Jaya dan Desa Wonosari Kecamatan Patebon, Kabupaten Kendal, Provinsi Jawa Tengah)
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the typology of mangrove and links between social conditions and community participation in mangrove ecosystem in the conservation area of Kartika Jaya and Wonosari village, District Patebon, Kendal. This research has been conducted with direct observation in the field and interviews with 30 persons in every village. The result from observation of ecological mangrove condition show that typology of mangrove in both area are dominated by Avicennia marina with good condition, mangrove density range is about 1067-1178 ind/ha and 1622-2000 ind/ha in accordance with the Decree of the State Minister for the Environment No. 201 Year 2004. Analysis of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) results that the social factors affecting the conservation in Kartika Jaya villages are community participation in mangrove planting, knowledge about the function of mangrove ecosystems, the distance to the ecosystem, and type of job. While the determined social factors in Desa Wonosari are community participation in mangrove planting as well, knowledge about functions and types of mangrove, the abrasion experience, and home distance.

Judul: Kajian Partisipasi Masyarakat Terhadap Pelestarian Hutan Mangrove (Studi Kasus: Desa Mambo Kecamatan Bone dan Desa Labulu-bulu Kecamatan Parigi Kabupaten Muna Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara)
Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian: (1 ).mengetahui tingkat partisipasi masyarakat. (2 ).mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi partisipasi masyarakat (3) mengetahui strategi yang digunakan dalam pengembangan paritsipasi masyarakat di Desa Marobo dan Desa Labulu-bulu. Variabel-variabel yang diamati adalah: Faktor internal (umur, lama tinggal, jumlah anggota keluarga, pendidikan, dan pendapatan) Faktor eksternal (kelompok keterlibatan pemerintah, manfaat yang diperoleh dan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap ekosistem mangrove, dan tingkat partisipasi (perencanaan, penanaman, pemeliharaan dan pengawasan, penanaman atas kehendak sendiri) Untuk melihat faktor faktor yang berpengaruh dalam tingkat partisipasi digunakan analisis PCA, untuk melihat strategi yang digunakan dalam pengembangan partisipasi masyarakat menggunakan analisis SWOT. Jumlah responden Desa Marobo 61 orang dan Desa Labulu-bulu 51 orang. Tingkat partisipasi rnasyarakat Desa Marobo dipengaruhi oleh umur, lama tinggal, jumlah anggota keJuarga. Desa Labulu-bulu dipengaruhi oleh manfaat hutan mangrove, pendidikan formal, dan pendapatan rata-rata per bulan. Strategi pengembangan partisipasi masyarakat menurut skala prioritas : ( l ) menetapkan kawasan ini sebagai kawasan pengelolaan pesisir (mangrove) yang lestari dan berkelanjutan,(2)meningkatkan partisipasi seluruh masyarakat dalam pengelolaan mangrove sesuai dengan peran dan fungsinya, (3) memberikan penyuluhan kepada

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.
