Judul: The role of pulp and paper industry in the economy of Riau Province: input-output analysis
Abstrak: National and regional economic development requires economic growth to achieve prosperity. The achievement of economic growth as seen from the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) should be achievable by all regions in Indonesia, including Riau Province. In order to pursue high economic growth, the government of Riau Province and the public need to know information about what sectors are able to produce the high Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). Riau Province is the largest contributor to the GDP of Sumatra and has the major players in pulp and paper industry operating in Perawang and Kerinci, where both located in Riau Province. Based on the data from the GDRP of Riau Province in 2010, manufacturing sector has gave the highest contribution, where pulp and paper industry is one of the prominent players. Paper industry has been giving major contribution to regional and national economy through export increase, investment value added, business opportunities creation and human resources employment as well as national income from tax and non-tax revenues. The supporting factors for the above mentioned are the availability of main raw materials for paper industry which are natural resources especially woods supply, climate condition that is conducive for raw materials growth; and lower production costs compared to other producer countries. With two largest players in paper industry are operated in Riau Province, this study will analyze the role of the paper industry in the economy of Riau Province through the contribution in GDRP and the linkages with other sectors. The method use is through the analysis of Input-Output Table Riau Province in 2010 classification of 112 sectors, aggregated into 22 sectors. The analysis includes linkage analysis, dispersion analysis, and multiplier analysis. From the analysis it can be seen that pulp and paper industry has a relatively high value. Therefore, pulp and paper industry is one of the priority sectors in the economy of Riau Province. These results can be used as a reference for the development of pulp and paper industry in Riau Province as an economic sector that has the ability to increase the economic output and income. The government of Riau Province is expected to overcome the obstacles in the development of pulp and paper industry.

Judul: The Role of Palm Oil Industry in The Economy of Riau Province: An Input-Output Analysis
Abstrak: Industrial sector has important role in the economy of Riau Province. It can be seen from its contribution to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) which reaches 49,642.78 billion rupiah or about 26.84 percent of total Riau Province GRDP in 2011. One of the potential subsectors in industrial sector is palm oil industry.

The data used in this research is secondary data, namely Input-Output (I-O) Table of Riau Province in 2010 classification of 112 sectors and aggregated to 22 sectors. The data is obtained from Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Daerah (Bappeda), and other related institutions. In addition, data in this research is also obtained from many literatures and various sources that support the objectives of this research.

The results shows that palm oil industry has significant role in the economy of Riau Province. It can be observed from its position which occupies the second rank on total demand, the first rank on total household consumption expenditure, the second rank on total trade surplus, and the third rank on total gross value added. From linkages analysis, the research shows that palm oil industry has backward linkages value higher than forward linkages value. From dispersion analysis, the research finds that palm oil industry has coefficient of dispersion greater than sensitivity of dispersion. This indicates that palm oil industry has more ability to attract the upstream sector. Furthermore, multiplier analysis comes up with conclusion that palm oil industry has positive multiplier effect to the economy of Riau Province. This indicates that there will be a maximum effect on increasing production and formation of new output if each unit of money for final demand spent to buy the output of palm oil industry.

Judul: Infeksi leucocytozoon Smithi (Laveran dan Lucet, 1905) pada kalkun
Abstrak: Leucocytozoon smithi adalah parasit darah yang menyebabkan leucocytozoonosis pada kalkun, dan termasuk dalam genus Leucocytozoon yang perkembangan skizogoninya terja- di dalam sel-sel endotel dan sel-sel parenkhim hati, jan- tung, ginjal dan organ-organ lain dari unggas. Genus ini menghasilkan skizon yang besar. Gametogoninya terjadi di dalam sel-sel darah dan sel yang terinfeksi dapat berubah bentuk dan mengambil bentuk kumparan. Parasit ini tidak menghasilkan pigmen dan ditularkan oleh lalat penghisap darah dari genus Simulium. Infeksi kalkun terjadi pada saat sporozoit masuk ke dalam peredaran darah dan selanjutnya masuk ke dalam sel- sel parenkhim hati. Siklus hidupnya mirip dengan siklus hidup L. simondi seperti yang diuraikan di bawah ini. Skizogoni yang terjadi di dalam hati menghasilkan skizon hepatik. Skizon hepatik dewasa menghasilkan merozoit dan sinsitia. Merozoit dari skizon hepatik memasuki eritroblas dan eritrosit dan membentuk gametosit bulat, sedangkan sinsitianya dapat masuk ke dalam sel-sel RES dan kemudian membentuk megaloskizon. Megaloskizon dewasa menghasilkan merozoit yang kemudian masuk ke dalam limfosit dan leukosit lain membentuk gametosit memanjang. Gametositgametosit ini akan menjadi makrogametosit dan mikrogametosit. Perkembangan parasit dalam tubuh vektor (Simulium), segera dimulai setelah vektor menghisap darah kalkun yang mengandung gametosit ini. Dalam tubuh vektor ini akan ter- jadi pembuahan makrogamet oleh mikrogamet (tahap gametogoni). Dari pembuahan ini dihasilkan zigot yang bergerak (ookinet). Ookinet akan masuk dinding usus vektor untuk memulai tahap sporogoni yang menghasilkan sporozoit. Sporozoit ini akan menuju ke kelenjar ludah dan dari sini dapat dipindahkan lagi ke tubuh kalkun pada saat vektor menghisap darah. Vektor untuk L. smithi adalah S. occidentale, S. nigroparvum, S. slossonae, S. nigritarse. L. smithi berbahaya, terutama bagi kalkun-kalkun muda. Mortalitasnya dapat mencapai 90 persen. Gejala klinis yang ditimbulkannya antara lain anorexia, lemas dan cenderung untuk duduk, kekurusan dan kelemahan, sesak nafas dan in- koordinasi dan terjungkal terlihat pada stadium akhir dan selanjutnya kalkun mengalami coma kemudian mati…dst
