Judul: Estimated Value of Above Ground Carbon Stock in Community Forest (Study Case in Hutan Organik, Megamendung, Bogor District)
Abstrak: Pemanasan global disebabkan oleh banyaknya emisi gas rumah kaca yang dilepaskkan ke atmosfer, termasuk karbon dioksida (CO2). Penelitian ini bertujuan menduga cadangan karbon dan potensi serapan CO2 pada Kawasan Hutan Rakyat “Organik” Megamendung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode stratified systematic sampling with random start dengan intensitas sampling 10% dan 35 plot contoh pengukuran tinggi serta diameter berukuran 0,04 ha. Cadangan karbon dan dan serapan CO2 ditentukan berdasarkan konversi 47% biomassa yang diperkirakan menggunakan persamaan alometrik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan Kawasan Hutan Rakyat “Organik” Megamendung seluas 13,76 ha mampu menyimpan rata- rata cadangan karbon sebesar 24,14-43,18 ton/ha atau total cadangan karbon sebesar 469,25-481,88 ton (pada selang kepercayaan [SK] 95%). Kawasan Hutan Rakyat “Organik” Megamendung pada tahun 2021 ini telah menyerap total CO2 dari atmosfer sebesar 1722,16-1768,51ton (pada SK 95%) dengan kesalahan pendugaan sebesar 24,59%.

Judul: Analysis of Carbon Absorption Potential Development in The Community Forest of Karacak Village, Bogor Regency, West Java
Abstrak: Hutan rakyat merupakan salah satu alternatif yang perlu diketahui kemampuannya dalam menyerap dan menyimpan karbon karena dalam perencaannya melibatkan masyarakat yang menguasai pengetahuan alam di daerahnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola pengelolaan dan dugaan cadangan serta kemampuan serapan karbon yang dimiliki hutan rakyat di Desa Karacak. Pengambilan data dilakukan kepada 30 plot contoh yang dibagi berdasarkan kelas kemiringan lahan. Hasil inventarisasi menunjukkan hutan Desa Karacak termasuk dalam tipe hutan rakyat kebun campuran dengan 8 jenis pohon penghasil non-kayu dan 2 pohon jenis penghasil kayu. Hasil pengolahan data menunjukkan dugaan rata-rata kemampuan cadangan karbon terbagi dalam kemiringan landai 36,23 tonC/ha, kemiringan bergelombang 37,98 tonC/ha dan kemiringan berbukit 38,65 tonC/ha dengan total rata-rata 37,62 tonC/ha. Dugaan rata-rata kemampuan serap karbon dioksida terbagi dalam kemiringan landai 7,62 tonCO2/ha/tahun, kemiringan bergelombang 7,73 tonCO2/ha/tahun dan kemiringan berbukit 6,69 tonCO2/ha/tahun dengan total rata-rata 7,35 tonCO2/ha/tahun., Community forests are one of the alternatives that need to be recognized for their carbon sequestration and reserves capability, as their planning involves the local community which possesses indigenous knowledge of their natural environment. This research aims to determine the management pattern and estimate carbon sequestration, as well as reserves capabilities of community forest in Karacak Village. The data collection was implemented on 30 sample plots, categorized based on the slope class. The inventory results indicate that the forest in Karacak Village falls under the category of mixed garden community forests, comprising 8 types of non-timber-producing trees and 2 types of timber-producing trees. Data processing results reveal an estimated average carbon reserve capacity distributed as follows: for flat terrain, 36,23 tons C/ha; undulating terrain, 37,98 tons C/ha; and hilly terrain, 38,65 tons C/ha, with a total average of 37,62 tons C/ha. The estimated average carbon dioxide sequestration capacity is stratified as follows: for flat terrain, 7,62 tons CO2/ha/year; undulating terrain, 7,73 tons CO2/ha/year; and hilly terrain, 6,69 tons CO2/ha/year, with a total average of 7,35 tons CO2/ha/year.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
