Judul: Frekuensi dan Intensitas Serangan Rayap Tanah pada Bangunan Gedung milik Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta.
Abstrak: Jakarta is a province with the most developed infrastructure in Indonesia, including its building constructions. However, termites attack were often found on the buildings in this region. This study was conducted to investigate the frequency and intensity of termites attack on Jakarta Government’s buildings. The targeted buildings in this research were selected by four stage stratified random sampling technique. Termites speciemens were collected from attacked buildings, then identified according to (Ahmad 1958). The results of this research showed that the frequency of termites attack on Jakarta Government’s buildings reaches 16.67% with the degree of infestation could classified as light infestation. Compared to other building components, windows sills has the highest termites attack rate (14.58%), followed by door sills (8.34%), and roof truss (4.16%). In addition, Microtermes inspiratus Kemner (Isoptera: Termitidae) have been found as the most frequent termite species attacking the buildings in Jakarta Province with infestation frequency reaches 77.8%, followed by Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) with infestation frequency of 22.22%. The highest intensity of termites attack occurred in Cililitan Village, Subdistrict Kramat Jati, East Jakarta.

Judul: Identification of Subterranean Termites and Their Attack Characteristics on Settlements in DKI Jakarta Province
Abstrak: Serangan rayap pada bangunan semakin meningkat seiring dengan perkembangan pembangunan di Provinsi DKI Jakarta yang banyak mengubah kondisi lingkungan alaminya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi spesies rayap tanah yang menyerang bangunan gedung permukiman serta menganalisis karakteristik serangan rayap di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Penelitian dilakukan pada 57 lokasi permukiman di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Penentuan lokasi penelitian berdasarkan hasil survei kerusakan bangunan akibat serangan rayap dan kegiatan pemantauan aplikasi pengumpanan oleh PT Larusa Adi Sumindo selama empat bulan (September 2021-Desember 2021). Hasil identifikasi morfometri rayap ditemukan sekurang-kurangnya empat spesies rayap tanah yang menyerang bangunan yaitu Coptotermes curvignathus, Coptotermes gestroi, Macrotermes gilvus, dan Microtermes insperatus. Rayap C. gestroi merupakan spesies yang paling banyak ditemukan, yaitu di 39 lokasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan komponen bangunan akibat serangan rayap dengan persentase tertinggi yaitu kusen jendela dan pintu (49,1%) dan terendah yaitu pondasi (3,5%)

Judul: Case Study of Gallbladder Mucocele and Treatment Used In Small Animals
Abstrak: Gallbladder mucocele (GM) is defined as distention of the gallbladder caused by an inappropriate accumulation or deposition of high concentrations of bile. The purpose of this case study is to study GM conditions in small animals and to report the clinical sign and characteristics of GM through the sonogram interpretation and blood chemistry test evaluation, and studies related to the therapy given and other treatments recommended. A 14-year-old Toy Poodle dog has been diagnosed with severe GM and cholecystitis. No pain signs were shown during the physical examination as asymptomatic is a common characteristic in the early stage of biliary related diseases. In this study Abdominal ultrasonography interpretation and blood chemistry evaluation was conducted in 2021-2022 and analyzed as a secondary data source. Ultrasonography results showed presence of hyperechoic, immobile deposits in gallbladder accompanied by wall thickening and enlarged in size, followed by a significant increase in the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This study has summarized mainly the diagnosis and treatments of GM in small animals and suitable alternatives treatments were recommended to encounter the GM conditions in small animals. The effectiveness of combined therapy shows the positive impact on the patient, the condition of GM has been under control.
