Judul: Analisis batu ginjal anjing dengan menggunakan metode spektroskopi UV-VIS dan absorpsi atom
Abstrak: Batu ginjal adalah suatu komponen bioanorganik yang terbentuk karena konsentrasi Iewat jenuh senyawa pernbentuknya di dalarn urin. Faktor penyebab terbentuknya batu ginjal dibagi dua yaitu faktor primer dan sekunder. Faktor primer antara lain makanan dan jurnlah cairan yang diasup, sedang faktor sekunder seperti infeksi, hyperuricosuria dan beberapa kelainan tubuh 1ainnya. Untuk mengetahui penyebab terbentuknya batu ginjal biasanya dilakukan analisis batu ginjal untuk mengetahui komponenkomponen pernbentuknya, karena dan jenis komponen pernbentuknya dapat diketahui kemungkinan penyebabnya.

Judul: Prevalensi Kelainan Ginjal Anjing secara Ultrasonografi di Rumah Sakit dan Klinik Hewan Tahun 2012-2017.
Abstrak: Anjing seringkali mengalami gangguan pada ginjal. Gangguan atau kelainan pada ginjal dapat diperiksa menggunakan ultrasonografi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui prevalensi kelainan yang terjadi pada ginjal anjing melalui pemeriksaan ultrasonografi pada pasien yang ada di Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Institut Pertanian Bogor dan Klinik Hewan My Vets Kemang Jakarta Selatan . Data kelainan ginjal dari 88 anjing diambil dan direkapitulasi berdasarkan hasil rekam medik melalui pemeriksaan ultrasonografi. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan parameter faktor ukuran tubuh, umur dan jenis kelamin. Hasil penelitian menunjukan prevalensi penyakit ginjal tertinggi berdasarkan bobot badan terjadi pada anjing ras kecil dan anjing ras besar. Berdasarkan umur prevalensi tertinggi terjadi pada anjing tua yaitu sebesar 50%. Prevalensi kelainan ginjal berdasarkan jenis kelamin tinggi pada anjing betina daripada anjing jantan. Prevalensi kelainan ginjal dipengaruhi oleh faktor bobot badan, umur dan jenis kelamin. Berdasarkan analisisi korelasi terdapat korelasi yang sangat kuat antara parameter umur dan jenis kelamin.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
