Judul: Prevalence of Helminthiasis in Sport Horses at One Stable in Cibinong District, Bogor Regency, West Java.
Abstrak: Kecacingan pada kuda merupakan satu di antara beberapa faktor yang dapat memengaruhi produktivitas serta performa kuda. Penelitian mengenai kecacingan pada kuda atlet di Bogor belum banyak dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis cacing parasit serta mengukur prevalensi dan derajat kecacingan pada kuda atlet di satu stable di Kecamatan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Sebanyak 41 sampel feses dikumpulkan dan diperiksa menggunakan metode flotasi sederhana, filtrasi bertingkat, dan McMaster. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 41 (100%) kuda atlet yang diteliti terinfeksi hanya oleh jenis cacing nematoda strongylida dengan derajat infeksi rendah sampai tinggi. Tidak ada kuda yang terinfeksi oleh cacing dari kelompok trematoda maupun cestoda. Sebagian besar kuda terinfeksi dengan derajat infeksi sedang yaitu sebesar 48,78%. Nilai rataan total telur per tinja dari setiap kategori umur dan jenis kelamin berada di rentang derajat infeksi sedang (200-500) dengan persentase paling tinggi ada pada derajat infeksi sedang (umur = 15 tahun 41,18%; umur, Helminthiasis in horse is one of several factors that can affect horse productivity and performance. The research on helminthiasis in sport horses in Bogor was very limited. This study aimed to identify the types of parasitic helminth and measure the prevalence and degree of helminthiasis in horses at a stable in Cibinong district, Bogor Regency, West Java. A total of 41 fecal samples were collected and examined using sample flotation, multistage filtration, and McMaster methods. The results showed that 41 (100%) horses were infected by only strongyle nematode species with low to high infection rates. No horses were infected with worms from the trematode or cestode groups. Most horses were infected with a moderate degree of infection at 48.78%. The mean value of total eggs per feces from each age and sex category was in the moderate infection degree range (200- 500) with the highest percentage in the moderate infection degree (age = 15 years 41.18%; age

Judul: Parascaris Infection in Horses (Equus Caballus) in East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara
Abstrak: Kecacingan pada kuda merupakan masalah gangguan kesehatan, penurunan performa produksi, reproduksi, hingga kematian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghitung prevalensi dan derajat infeksi Parascaris pada kuda di Kabupaten Sumba Timur, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Sebanyak 65 sampel feses dikumpulkan dari 10 kecamatan dan diperiksa menggunakan teknik McMaster dan flotasi sederhana. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa sebanyak 8 dari 65 kuda (12,3%) terinfeksi Parascaris. Derajat infeksi Parascaris (264,65 Telur Tiap Gram Tinja (TTGT)) masuk dalam ketegori infeksi sedang. Analisis statistika menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan nyata prevalensi dan derajat infeksi Parascaris terhadap jenis kelamin dan umur., Helminthiasis in horses is a health disorder problem, decreased production performance, reproduction, and even death. This study aimed to calculate the prevalence and intensity of Parascaris infection of horses in East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. A total of 65 fecal samples were collected from 10 sub-districts and examined using the McMaster technique and simple flotation. The results showed that 8 out of 65 horses (12.3%) were infected with Parascaris. The intensity of infection of Parascaris (264.65 eggs per gram of fecal (EPG)) was in the moderate infection category. Statistical analysis showed that there ware no significant difference in the prevalence and intensity of infection Parascaris with sex and age.

Judul: Sintesis BaTiO3 dari Campuran Ba(OH)2 dan TiO2 dengan Tambahan PbO
Abstrak: Piezoelectric material can generate electric field in response to applied mechanical stress. Conversely, they can stretch and contract in response to an electric field. This material can be used for many applications such as transducer, microphone, ultrasound, and pressure gauge. Barium titanate is a ferroelectric material with piezoelectric properties that can be synthesized easily. The aim of this study is to synthesis barium titanate from mixture of Ba(OH)2 and TiO2, also observe its optimum temperature and the effect of PbO addition. The method of synthesis was solid-state reaction and sol-gel method, then the products were characterized with x-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on XRD analysis, the optimum temperature for both methods was 800°C. Addition of PbO to BaTiO3 in the solid-state reaction formed a compound with formula of Ba1-xPbxTiO3. The addition has changed diffraction pattern peak at 2θ and strengthened its tetragonal structure. The best result was obtained at x of 0.5 which will form a compound of Ba0.5Pb0.5TiO3.
