Judul: Structural equation model to analyze children's creativity based on parenting style and school system
Abstrak: One of the problems in a social science is to formulate causal effects of immeasurable factors. Structural Equation Model (SEM) is a concept for modeling the unobserved factors using related indicators. In addition, SEM can indicate the relationship between several variables have not had directly measured. Childen‟s creativity, parenting style, and school system cannot be directly measured, some indicators are needed to analyze these variables. Permissive, authoritative, and authoritarian are knowed as indicators of parenting style. School system is measured by school environtment and learning method indicators. Figural and verbal skill measure children‟s creativity theoretically while self assessment is used as comparison. So the purpose of this research is to identifying the factors that may affect the level of children‟s creativity by using SEM. Structural equation model show children‟s creativity affected by school system and parenting style. All of school system indicators have significant influences to children‟s creativity and have positive influence. Parenting styles show only authoritative and authoritarian parenting style are significant, where authoritative parenting style has a positive influence, but on contrast authoritarian parenting style has a negative influence to children‟s creativity. Children‟s creativity reflected by figural and verbal skill while self assessment is an insignificance indicator.

Judul: Penyakit Bluetongue Pada Ternak Domba
Abstrak: Bluetongue (BT) adalah penyakit akuta, non conta gious yang disebabkan oleh Arbo Virus (16), menyerang ternak domba maupun ruminant lainnya. Penularan penyakit ini dari satu hewan ke hewan rentan dilakukan oleh anthro poda genus Culicoides Sp (24,26). Penyakit BT pada domba pertama kali dilaporkan Hutcheon (1902) dan Spreull ( 1902,1905) sewaktu oleh kejadian endemik di Afrika Selatan (9), dan jauh sebelumnya yaitu pada tahun 1876 penyakit semacam BT telah dikenal (9). Transportasi dan mobilisasi ternak yang tinggi memu dahkan penyebaran BT ke negara lain yaitu Cyprus (1924) Turki (1944), Israel (1951), Amerika (1952), Spanyol (1958), Pakistan (1960) India (1964), Australia (1975), dan pada tahun 1981 penyakit BT telah ditemukan di Indonesia tepatnya di daerah Caringin Bogor yang menye rang domba impor yaitu Ras Sufflok asal Australia (16,22 ). Domba merupakan hewan yang paling rentan terhadap BT (21). Kerentanan dari masing-masing ras domba pun berbeda dan umumnya BT menyerang domba diatas 1 tahun (23). Diduga sapi bertindak sebagai reservoar (12), hanya sekitar 5% sapi yang terserang BT memperlihatkan gejala pe nyakit dengan derajat sedang sampai berat. Masa inkubasi ET pada domba yang terinfeksi secara alami diperkirakan selama 7 hari sedang pada infeksi buatan antara 2 hari- sampai 15 hari ( rata-rata 4 sampai 7 hari) (12).
