Judul: Sintesis Nanokomposit Kaolin/TiO2 Teremban Fe2O3 untuk Adsorpsi-Fotodegradasi Biru Metilena
Abstrak: Kaolin is a type of clay mineral that has adsorption capacity. The experiment shows that the adsorption capacity of kaolin was 20.6 mg/g. This value is lower than zeolite adsorption capacity that in general has value above 100 mg/g. Mixing kaolin with other materials to form nanocomposite, may improve its adsorption properties. Nanocomposites that had been synthesized were kaolin/TiO2 nanocomposites with the addition of Fe2O3 using 2 synthetic methods, namely using ball milling and paste methods. The nanocomposite synthesized using ball milling method had higher adsorption capacity value, i.e. 23.6 mg/g. The nanocomposite of kaolin/ TiO2 was able to adsorb and degrade waste dyes in ultraviolet range. Furthermore, addition of Fe2O3 to the kaolin/TiO2 nanocomposite improved the performance of the nanocomposite by reacting under the visible rays. Therefore, the performance of nanocomposite of kaolin/TiO2 added with Fe2O3 was is more effective since visible ray is the major part of the sun light.

Judul: Nanokomposit kaolin-TiO2 dengan dopan urea untuk adsorpsi dan fotodegradasi zat warna biru metilena
Abstrak: Methylene blue is one type of dyes found as pollutant in Indonesia water system. Kaolin-TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized and used to overcome this problem by utilizing its adsorption-photodegradation mechanism. Kaolin-TiO2 nanocomposite was made by mixing kaolin powder and TiO2 powder physically using ball milling and paste methods. The ball milling method is found to be simpler than paste method, and also resulting in smaller particle size. Smaller particle size also found to increase both adsorption and photodegradation activities. It is believed that ball milling method also generated a homogenous mixture. From 2 different sample compositions and 3 milling times used, it was found that synthesis kaolin-TiO2 nanocomposite requiring calciumbased binder with an optimum milling time of 5 hours. Kaolin-TiO2 nanocomposite was doped with urea by manual physical mixing followed by calsination at 300 °C for 2 hours. Urea doped-nanocomposite has larger activity than undoped nanocomposite in visible light zone. It means that the photocatalytic activity of urea doped-nanocomposite was successfully shifted to the red zone area of the visible light. Therefore, incident sunlight can be used as energy source in the adsorption-photodegradation process using nanocomposite Kaolin-TiO2.

Judul: Prolapsus vagina kronis, kausa dan teknik reposisinya
Abstrak: Prolapsus vagina kronis merupakan penyembulan bagian belakang hewan, khususnya lantai vagina melalui vulva, diikuti dengan perpindahan serviks dan uterus ke belakang. Pada sapi kejadian prolapsus vagina sering pada masa 2-3 bulan akhir kebuntingan, sedangkan pada domba dan hewan sejenisnya terjadi beberapa minggu sebelum melahirkan. Kasus prolapsus vagina kadang-kadang dapat terjadi setelah melahirkan, dan jarang terjadi tanpa ada hubungannya dengan kebuntingan atau kelahiran. Penyebab prolapsus vagina kronis belum dapat dipastikan, beberapa faktor umumnya ambil bagian. Faktor uta- ma adalah tingginya kadar hormon estrogen pada akhir kebuntingan. Faktor mekanis dengan meningkatnya tekanan intra abdominal dan gaya berat dari fetus dalam kandungan. Beberapa faktor predisposisi yang dapat menunjang terjadinya prolapsus vagina adalah: perlukaan saluran kelahiran, kelahiran yang rapat, makanan yang kurang baik, terbatasnya pergerakan, faktor lingkungan dan hereditas. Prolapsus vagina kronis umumnya hampir terjadi pada semua hewan piara, lebih sering pada sapi dan domba. Pada sapi sering terjadi pada sapi potong jenis Hereford ...
