Judul: Regional Development Strategy through “Minapolitan” Approach in the Regency of Anambas Islands
Abstrak: The Regency of Anambas Islands is characterized mostly by sea area, which covers 98.65 percent of the total region and its population are mostly fishermen. Therefore, it is considered to apply the concept of regional development through a “Minapolitan” program. The objectives of this study are to: 1) identify potential fishery resources and 2) to formulate alternative strategies for the regional development through a minapolitan approach. The methods of analyses used were Descriptive Analysis, Analysis of Location Quotient (LQ), Analysis of External Factors Evaluation (EFE) and Internal Factors Evaluation (IFE), and Strenghts Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Analysis (SWOT), and to determine strategic priorities, it used an Analysis of Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The analysis showed that there are fishery resources potential for further development but constraint by infrastructure and facilities. Based on the distribution of Gross Regional Domestic Pruduct (GRDP) at current market prices including oil and gas, the study showed that the fishery sector contributed an average of 13.62 percent, whereas without oil and gas it is accounted for an average of 57.68 percent. Thus, the fishery sector can be concluded to be the leading sector having the potential for development because it provides a very large contribution to the growth of the regional economy. Further, more based on the calculation of LQ for GRDP (2008-2010) with oil and gas included, the LQ value of fishery sub-sector was on average 3.84 and without oil and gas the average value was 15.05. Thus, it can be concluded that based on the GRDP with or without oil and gas, the fishery sub-sector is the basic or leading sector with a comparative advantage that can be developed in order to provide a major contribution to the economic growth of the region, especially for the welfare of the communities. The results of internal and external factor analyses based on the IFE-EFE and SWOT matrix result 6 (six) formulated alternatif strategies. Finally, based on the QSPM matrix, a priority was obtained in terms of the order of prioritized strategies that are necessary for the Regency Government of Anambas Islands namely: a) to build the infrastruture for the marine and fishery sector to support the “minapolitan” program, b) to improve planning or studies in developing marine and fishery sector, c) to prioritize programs to support the “minapolitan” program, d) to improve assistantship and capacity building for fishermen, e) to set up Anambas as a minapolitan region through central goverment regulations, and f) to build cooperation network with various parties.

Judul: Fisheries Subsector Analysis in Indramayu Regency Regional Development.
Abstrak: Indramayu Regency has a great potential in renewable fisheries. It is expected that this fisheries subsector continues to grow and become a strategic subsector in Indramayu regional development. The objectives of this research were: (1) to identify the role of the fisheries subsector in the economy of the region and its links with other sectors in Indramayu regency, (2) to learn about the level of development of the regional development of fisheries subsector in Indramayu Regency based on the conditions of facilities and infrastructure, and (3) to find out the perception of stakeholders in determining development priorities for the fisheries subsector as well as to formulate a strategic direction in the development of the fisheries subsector in Indramayu regency. The analysis methods used were of Input-Output (I-O) analysis, hierarchical analysis of regional development (Skalogram Method), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the combination of AHP and SWOT analysis (A'WOT). Based on the analysis, the fisheries subsector had a relatively low sectoral relationship. The result of direct forward linkage (DFLi), direct backward linkage (DBLj), Index deployment value (backward linkages effect ratio) and degree of sensitivity index value (forward linkages effect ratio) were below average. The result of multiplier effect output of fisheries, multiplier effect of fisheries gross value added, and multiplier effect of fisheries were revenue relatively low compared to other sectors. The fisheries subsector has the potential to be developed through enhancing linkages between sectors with industry excluding oil/gas sector and wholesale and retail trade sector. Schallogram analysis showed that the districts on hierarchy III were considered feasible to do the development since they were supported by the number of Farmer Households of culture amounting to 2,952 people (68%) of the total 4,344 people and 26,936 Fishermen Households (72%) of the total 37,425 people residing in the coastal area with the value of Human Development Index under 70. The districts in hierarchy III are the districts of Krangkeng, Juntinyuat, Cantigi, Pasekan, Kandanghaur and Patrol. According to the stakeholders, the priority of fisheries subsector development in Indramayu Regency was the development of aquaculture activities (42.04%) in terms of improving the quality of human resources (33.66%). In the development strategy of the fisheries subsector of aquaculture activities in Indramayu regency, priorities should be in the development of existing resources (Natural Resources, Human Resources, Artificial Resource/Infrastructure, Institutional, Technology and Capital) to achieve sustainable development.

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
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. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. 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. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. 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
