Judul: Ekologi Vegetasi dan Etnobotani Kawasan Karst Gunung Cibodas, Ciampea, Bogor
Abstrak: Karst mengandung makna sebagai suatu bentang alam yang secara khusus berkembang pada batuan karbonat (batugamping), baik berkelompok maupun tunggal dibentuk dan dipengaruhi oleh proses pelarutan (karsitifikasi) yang derajatnya lebih tinggi dibanding kawasan batuan lainnya. Vegetasi yang hidup di kawasan karst sangat khas, baik dilihat dari segi bentuk dan komposisi jenisnya. Pepohonan yang hidup di kawasan karst biasanya kecil dan bertajuk jarang, perakaran dalam dan berkelok-kelok, serta menempel pada tebing-tebing. Hubungan timbal balik antara manusia dan lingkunganny adisebut etnobotani. Nilai keanekaragaman hayati bagi masyarakat dihitung berdasarkan nilai Index Cultural of Significance (ICS). Jenis yang dominan pada tingkat pohon adalah jenis Macaranga sp. (ki bolong), pada tingkat tiang adalah Prunus avium (ceri) dan Macaranga sp. (ki bolong). Pada tingkat pancang yang dominan adalah Piper aduncum (seuseurehan) dan Calliandra calothyrsus (kaliandra). Pada tingkat tumbuhan bawah yang dominan adalah Axonopus compresus (rumput teki) dan Imperata cylindrica (ilalang). Semakin tinggi nilai ICS menunjukkan semakin tinggi nilai pemanfaatannya dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Tumbuhan yang memiliki nilai ICS tertinggi yaitu kelapa dengan nilai sebesar 157.

Judul: Komposisi Jenis dan Struktur Vegetasi pada Kawasan Karst Gunung Cibodas, Kecamatan Ciampea, Kabupaten Bogor.
Abstrak: Karst area is carbonated rock area that showing karst morphology, with high valued ecosystem of flora and fauna. One of the karst areas in West Java that has quite alarming condition is Gunung Cibodas, Ciampea subdistrict, Bogor regency. The purpose of the research is to analyze the composition and structure of vegetation in the karst area of Gunung Cibodas. The location of observation determined by systematic sampling with random start metode. Analysis vegetation plots are defined based on the direction of the slope and the mouth of the cave. The research found 30 species of seedlings, 32 species of saplings, 2 species of poles, 6 species of trees and 92 species of understorey vegetations. On the direction of the slope and the mouth of the cave is dominated by pioneer species such as Leucaena leucocephala, Calliandra calothyrsus and Macaranga peltata which show the process of secondary succession, moreover the understorey is dominated by the species of Invasive Alien Species (IAS). Stand structure inverted J-shaped curve can only be found on the northern slopes and generally canopy stratification in this karst area consists of three strata, namely stratum C, D and E with the dispersion pattern of this species of dominant groups in the direction of the slope and the mouth of the cave.

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.
