Judul: Kajian Membran Nilon pada Proses Filtrasi Bertahap Sistem Cross-Flow untuk Desalinasi Air Payau
Abstrak: The membrane is semi-permeable coating that can form a thin layer separating the two phases with different characters. The membrane used was a nylon membrane. Membrane is used as a filter for the filtration process gradual cross-flow system. Cross-flow technique used to filter the water by passing the water on the membrane with 90° angular position to the normal line of membrane with the variation of the mass 6, 6.5 and 7 g. The filtration was done at pressure of 2.5, 5, 6, 7 and 8 psi. Each membrane was tested for compressive strength and tensile strength before and after each used. SEM test used to see the surface morphology of membrane before and after each used. In brackish water was done flux test and rejection test such as turbidity, salinity, density, and ph. Tests were performed on each filtration flux where the highest flux value is at 6 g membrane. The best rejection and mechanical test at 6.5 g membrane.

Judul: Filtrasi Air Sungai Menggunakan Membran Nilon dengan Metode Dead-End
Abstrak: On this research nylon membrane be used as filtration media of river water. Filtration did use with deadend method it is a methode position of membran is perpendicular with feed. River water characterized physicly before and after filtration. There are characterizations observed viscosity, turbidity, and density. There are three variant mass of nylon 5, 6 and 6.5 grams. The methode of sintesize membrane is phase inversion. Rejection of 6.5 grams is the biggest it is 69.98% for turbidity rejection, 98.67% for viscosity rejection and 21.06% for density rejection. Membrane was test its strength and morphology used Economic Force Sensor and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) before and after filtration in variant mass. The strength of membrane before filtration is more low than membrane after filtration and the more weight nylon mass the more its strength. The size of pore membrane is 5 micrometre and it’s categorized as microfiltration. There is a fouling in morphology of membrane after filtration and the more weight nylon mass the more tiny its pore

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
