Judul: The Hematological Responses And The Effects of Common Blood Parasites in Ruminant in Malaysia
Abstrak: Blood parasite infections can cause obvious economic losses in livestock and are commonly found in livestock of tropical regions such as Malaysia. This study was conducted to understand better the role and effect of hematological responses and the effects of common blood parasites in ruminants. The data for this literature review is obtained from several articles, journals, and books. This literature review was mostly done in Sabah, Malaysia due to the Pandemic situation. Most of the blood parasite is endemic in Malaysia. Various genera of blood parasites namely Anaplasma, Theileria, Babesia, Mycoplasma, and Trypanosoma have been documented to exert negative impacts on ruminants in Malaysia. Infection of blood parasites in ruminants changthe CBC count, especially in the leukogram whichgoes up and down, depending on various aspects such as age. Therefore, a diagnosis or prognosis should not be based on hematologic results solely, but should also take findings from the clinical examination or other diagnostic procedures into consideration. It is necessary to implement good management practices in preventing and reducing the occurrence of parasitic infestations in farms.

Judul: Studi Kasus Infeksi Parasit Darah pada Sapi Potong di Kabupaten Subang, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: This study describes prevalence of blood parasites and parasitemia level using blood smear. Result of the experiment of blood samples in 62 cattle from Subang Regency showed a blood parasite infection by Babesia sp., Theileria sp., and Anaplasma sp. The inapposite maintenance management was thought to be main factor causing infection. This supported by hipotesis chi square test which states, that maintenance management relates to prevalence. In this research, also performed calculations average parasitemia to measure level of parasitosis by age level and gender cattle. The calculations show parasitosis level mild because obtained average parasitemia <1%. Statistical tests average parasitemia (Babesia sp., Theileria sp., and Anaplasma sp.) age level significantly different (p<0.05) in calf and adult cattle. By sex were also obtained significantly different results (p<0.05) in bulls and cows for blood parasites Anaplasma sp.

Judul: Karakteristik Piezoelektrik Film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 di atas Substrat TCO
Abstrak: Studi material perovskite SrTiO3 sudah banyak dilakukan dan menunjukkan sifat feroelektrik, piezoelektrik, kuantum paraelektrik dan superkonduktor yang baik. Dengan penambahan dopant La2O3 diduga menambah performa sifat piezo dan karakteristik lainnya. Karakteristik film LaxSr₁-xTiO3 (LST) dengan variasi x= 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 terbentuk pada suhu annealing 550 oC di atas substrat TCO melalui metode (Chemical Solution Deposition) CSD dan spin coating dengan 700 rpm pada kondisi suhu ruang dan tekanan atmosfer standar. Hasil menunjukkan, semakin banyak pendadah La maka nilai ketebalan film, ukuran rerata kristalit, parameter kisi, transmitansi, nilai konduktivitas (maksimum 589.7 S/cm pada sampel x=0.04 di frekuensi 10 Hz), nilai konstanta tegangan (c) dan muatan (d) piezo semakin meningkat. Dinamika bentuk grafik nilai tegangan (V) dan konstanta regangan mekanik (s) nampak mirip. Nilai V mencapai 0.127 V untuk x=0.06 (beban 50 g). Nilai maksimum c, d, s masing-masing mencapai 20.07 Vm/N, 1.14x10-8 C/N, 13642.71. Nilai band gap untuk x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 masing-masing 3.21 eV, 3.1 eV, 2.6 eV, 2.4 eV. La2O3 menambah performa sifat piezo, sehingga LST berpotensi sebagai sensor tekanan.
