Judul: Formulasi Strategy Jangka Panjang untuk Pengembangan Biodiesel yang Berkelanjutan di Indonesia
Abstrak: Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, has been developed palm oil biodiesel as renewable energy in the last decade. Indonesia biodiesel development policies aim to increase domestic value added of palm oil product and reduce the reliance on fossil fuel. Indonesia has embarked on a comprehensive palm oil biodiesel program since 2006 and targeted the 20% biodiesel blend (B20) in 2016. This article explores the strategy formulation by accommodate the stakeholder perspective in the problems and the solutions. This research analyzes the information from in depth interview with biodiesel stakeholders (government, industry and researcher) in Indonesia by combine Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis with a Multi Actor Analysis approach. The results show the problems of biodiesel development are mainly on the high production cost due to high price of raw material, production technology and distribution infrastructure. The government policy, technology development and raw material supply are the driving forces of the biodiesel development in Indonesia. In the long term strategy, government of Indonesia should secure the biodiesel raw material, develop an environmental friendly technology in biodiesel processing, and accommodate the improvement idea from other stakeholders.

Judul: Perumusan Kebijakan Biodiesel Kelapa Sawit dengan Menggunakan Metode Regulatory Impact Analysis dan Model Sistem Dinamis
Abstrak: Indonesia has strongh commitment to develop biodiesel. This commitment has been proved by issuing several government’s policy in the form of regulations to develop biodiesel. So that the development of biodiesel has legal force politically. One of the latest policy issued by the government is the Ministerial Regulation from Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2015. This regulation is the third revision of Regulation of ESDM Number 32 of 2008 that concerning the provision, use, and administration of biofuels as other energy. Before that, regulation of ESDM Number 32 of 2008 has revised by Regulation of ESDM Number 25 of 2012 and ESDM Number 20 of 2014. The core content of the Regulation of ESDM Number 12 of 2015 is mandatory in PSO and non PSO transportation, industry and bussiness, and power plant sector to use biofuels as a mixture of fuel with a certain mixture composition from 2015 to 2025 The implementation of biodiesel regulation in practice actually has many problems. Several of earlier research mentioned that contribution or target to use biodiesel as a mixture of diesel fuel was not achieved. This research provides required condition analysis, policy scenario design, and formulation of a policy to meet the target of the obligation to use biodiesel as a mixture of diesel fuel according to the Ministry Regulation of Energy and Mineral Resources of Republic Indonesia Number 12 of 2015. The current government policy is a disincentive CPO; granting relief loan repayment (interest) for the biodiesel plant investment, exemption or tax relief on entry to the technology or equipment biodiesel plant investment; mixture diesel fuel and biodiesel subsidy of IDR 1000 per liter. The simulation results describe the current government policy to support the achievement of the use of biodiesel as a mixture of diesel fuel will not be able to meet the target of achieving the use of biodiesel as a mixture of diesel fuel. The target use of palm oil biodiesel as a mixture of diesel, require additional support policies or conditions by increasing the rate of production capacity of biodiesel, biodiesel incentives, increase land productivity of palm oil, biodiesel subsidies minimal changes over IDR 1250 per liter for 7% interest rate and IDR 1350 per liter for 9% interest rate.

Judul: Telaah Histopatologi Urolithiasis Pada Kucing
Abstrak: Urolithiasis adalah suatu keadaan dimana ditemukannya batu di dalam saluran urinaria. Batu tersebut dibentuk dalam pelvis ginjal dan bergerak turun sepanjang ureter kemudian masuk ke dalam vesika urinaria dan uretra. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari lebih dalam secara histopatologi tentang kasus kematian seekor kucing dengan urolithiasis yang dinekropsi di Laboratorium Patologi FKH-IPB. Pemeriksaan patologi anatomi menemukan adanya fokal atelektasis paru, dilatasi ventrikel kiri jantung, hidrothoraks, hidroasites, ginjal pueat dan batu-batu berbagai ukuran dengan diameter 0,1-0,5 em pada vesika urinaria yang berdarah. Pada pengamatan histopatologi menunjukkan pembendungan semua organ, nephritis interstitialis kronis disertai bentukan mikrokista dan endapan mineral pada lumen tubuli dan sistitis nekrotik disertai pendarahan yang meluas. Pemeriksaan pada organ paru-paru ditemukan lumen alveolus sebagian mengempis dan sebagian lagi meluas. Dinding alveol menebal akibat adanya akumulasi eritrosit. Sedikit koloni bakteri tampak dalam lumen usus, bercampur dengan epitel usus yang terlepas di ujung viii. Hati mengalami pembendungan, ruangan sinusoid tampak meluas. Beberapa megakariosit tampak di dalam pulpa merah yang menunjukkan adanya aktivitas hematopoetis. Organ jantung tidak menunjukkan adanya perubahan histopatologi yang spesifik.
