Abstrak: Salt has a strategic role as the staple food towards consumption needs and industrial needs in raw materials. The consumption needs covers all aspects in house hold consumption, cooking oil industries, fish curing industries, and other common industries such as oil industry, textile and tannery, feed, chlor alkali (CAP), and pharmacy (Deperin 2009). The potential area for salt sea bank is about 34 hectare, but only 60 percent of this area are used as productive salt sea bank. The production produced by a productive salt sea bank in Indonesia are considered very low as they cannot fulfill the needs generally. The gap between supply and demand generate high dependency towards imported salt. As a step to reduce the dependency, in 2011, the government came up with the idea of the national salt self sufficiency. The achievement of this program can be measured by the availability of consumption and industrial salt needs. This research was done to (1) build a model of the national salt supply system to measure the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency, (2) analyze the impact of this self sufficiency achievement in the national salt self sufficiency, and (3) compose an alternative policy needed as an effort to achieve the salt self sufficiency. In this research, the dynamic system approach is used. The impact of this national salt self sufficiency policy is analyzed using five scenario: (1) scenario 1 (if the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency reach 60 percent of the achievement indicator), (2) scenario 2 (if the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency reach 80 percent of the achievement indicator), (3) scenario 3 (if the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency reach 100 percent of the achievement indicator with the lower limit of extensification), (4) scenario 4 (if the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency reach 100 percent of the achievement indicator with the middle limit of extensification), (5) scenario 5 (if the achievement of the national salt self sufficiency reach 100 percent of the achievement indicator with the upper limit of extensification). In arranging the alternative policy, three scenarios are needed; (1) scenario 6: scenario 4 with the correction in the PUGAR productivity increasement policy in 97 tons/hectare, (2) scenario 7: scenario 6 with the assumption of ; all grassroots salt companies are the member of PUGAR, and (3) scenario 8: scenario 7 plus salt consumption reduction for household based on the salt intake recommendation of WHO (2007) which is 5 grams per day per capita and and the increasement of salt quality produced by the grassroots supplier so there will be no more purification needed. The analysis shown that in real condition, the supply of consumption salt fluctuated during the stimulation period. Deficit supply in extreme weather. While during normal weather, Indonesia could achieve the consumption salt self sufficiency. But the actual processing of salt in Indonesia does not support the self sufficiency program gradually. While the industrial salt supply is lack during the stimulation program. This condition happened because in actual processing, Indonesia cannot produce their own industrial salt.

Judul: Kajian Pengembangan Sentra Tambak Garam Rakyat di Kawasan Pesisir Selatan Kabupaten Sampang Provinsi Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Salt is a vital commodity that has an important role either for consumption or for various industrial activities. Salt demand has been increasing annually and apparently domestic production has not fulfilled the demand. Sampang is one of regency in Jawa Timur Province which has comparative advantages because of its widest conventional salt pond in Madura island. Development of conventional salt pond center in the south coast region of Sampang Regency is an attempt to address the national shortage of salt and also to increase regional economic. This research aims: (1) to identify potential land for extension of the salt ponds, (2) to analyze land rent of various land use types and compare it with salt ponds, (3) to determine and to compare the financial benefits among harvesting methods in the salt production, and (4) to formulate the strategic direction for development of conventional salt pond center at the study sites. The results show that there were 2 398.55 hectares of potential land for extending salt ponds consisting of 2 142.45 ha of paddy fields, 152.38 ha of aquaculture ponds, 54.91 ha of field/moor, 42.36 ha of swamp, 5.72 ha of scrub and 0.74 ha of mixed gardens. Land rent of trade and service activity, residential, ”jambu air” orchard, teak garden, irrigated field, rainfed, banana plantation and mango orchard were higher than land rent of salt pond which was ranging from 1 675 to Rp2 954 IDR per m2 per year. While paddy field, bamboo gardens, and fish ponds were underneath salt pond. Salt ponds regarding its suitability, land rent and type of land use could be extended in these type of land use respectively, i.e: aquaculture ponds, rainfed cropland, swamp, shrub, paddy fields, banana plantation, mango orchards, and bamboo gardens. All of harvesting methods in salt production are financially feasible to continue (NPV > 0; IRR > discount rate). Payback period and Net BCR show that the geomembrane method was more profitable than the “maduris” and the “portugis” method. Combination of strategic alternatives selected by A’WOT as the primary strategy to develop conventional salt pond center in the south coast region of Sampang Regency are: (1) strengthening the institutions of salt farmers to assist regulations enforcement, (2) increasing volume of production and increasing salt quality, and (3) expanding and streamlining the distribution network by government intervention.

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
