Abstrak: The process of making window frames and plywood doors, is estimated to have the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Musculoskeletal disorders are disorders of soft tissues such as muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and cartilages and also the nerve system. The wrong body posture while working can cause the risk of MSDs. The purposes of this study were to analyze the body posture at each work element and to compare the risk of body posture which can cause MSDs complaints among window frame workers and plywood door workers, also to identify the MSDs complaints that workers feel and to identify the connection between body posture and the MSDs complaint among window frame workers and plywood doors workers. The Methods used in this study was observation and interview. Data was analyzed by using Rapid Entire Body Assessment Method (REBA). Analysis of each element of work showed the risk of MSDs in low level to high level. The result of analysis proved that the part of worker’s body which is likely to get MSDs complaint is waist and there was a connection between the wrong body posture with the MSDs complaints.

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.

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
