Judul: Protozoa Parasitik Darah dan Saluran Pencernaan pada Ular Sawah (Ptyas corros) di Kabupaten Ngawi
Abstrak: The purpose of this study is to give information about blood parasitic protozoan and gastrointestinal tract protozoan from Chinese Ratsnake (Ptyas korros). Ten Chinese Ratsnake that collected from Alas pecah village at Ngawi district used in this study. Faecal and blood sample were collected weekly for three weeks. Blood sample were stained by Giemsa and faecal sample were natively examined. Parasites were identified using morphological approach under microscope. The results showed that 5 parasites type had found on Chinese Ratsnake. They were consist of 4 intestinal parasites types (Giardia sp., Balantidium sp., Entamoeba sp., Cryptosporidium sp.) and blood parasites type (Plasmodium sp.). Those parasites can be potentially zoonotic. All snakes were infected by Plasmodium sp. Meanwhile Giardia sp., Balantidium sp., Entamoeba sp. dan Cryptosporidium sp. of the snake had been founded by number of 90%, 80%, 80% and 70% respectively.

Judul: Identifikasi Bakteri dan Cacing Parasitik pada Insang dan Saluran Pencernaan Ikan Nila Hitam (Oreochromis niloticus)
Abstrak: The objectives of this research were to identify parasitic worms and bacteria in gills and digestive tract of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A group of 10 fishes of nile tilapia were used, each gills and digestive tract was collected. The parasitic worms were colored with KOH and clove oil for semi-permanent staining, and Semichon’s Acetocarmine for permanent staining. The isolated bacteria were identified using Gram staining, Triple Sugar Iron Agar, citrate agar, urea agar, indole, and cabohydrate fermentations. The result showed that there were three kind of parasitic worms in gills of nile tilapia, Dactylogyridae, Dactylogyrus sp., and Pseudodactylogyrus sp. The total amount of Dactylogyridae is 8 worms, Dactylogyrus sp. is 72 worms, and Pseudodactylogyrus is 24 worms. The bacteria were identified and the result showed that Aeromonas sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Edwardsiella tarda, Klbesiella pneumoniae, Pasteurella sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were come from gills. Aeromonas sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aerus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus sp., and Vibrio parahaemolyticus were come from digestive tract. The relation between the parasitic worms and the bacteria did not significanty obvious. The parasitic worms might predispose the secondary infection caused by bacteria or might be the opposite.

Judul: Pricing of Lookback Options with Floating Strike Price Using The Monte Carlo Method
Abstrak: Opsi lookback adalah opsi yang payoff-nya bergantung pada harga saham terbesar atau harga saham terkecil yang dicapai selama masa berlaku opsi. Opsi lookback dikatakan dengan floating strike price jika nilai dari strike price sebesar harga saham pada saat jatuh tempo. Nilai hampiran opsi lookback ditentukan dengan metode Monte Carlo, sedangkan nilai eksak didapat dari nilai simulasi terbesar yang mampu dihitung oleh komputer. Berdasarkan hasil penghitungan, nilai galat relatif yang dihasilkan semakin kecil dengan semakin bertambah banyaknya simulasi yang dilakukan, sehingga metode Monte Carlo untuk menghitung harga opsi lookback dengan floating strike price konvergen ke nilai eksaknya., Lookback option is an option whose payoff depends on the maximum or minimum of the asset price reached during the option period. The lookback option is said to be a floating strike price if the value of the strike price is equal to the stock price at maturity. The value of the lookback option is determined by the Monte Carlo method, while the exact value is obtained from the largest simulation value that the computer can compute. Based on the calculation results, the resulting relative error value get smaller with the increasing number of simulations performed. Therefore, the Monte Carlo method to calculate the price of the lookback option with the floating strike price converges to the exact value.
