Judul: Gambaran Hematologi Anjing Pelacak Operasional Ras Labrador Retriever di Subdit Satwa POLRI-Depok
Abstrak: Dewasa ini, anjing telah banyak digunakan oleh polisi di seluruh dunia dalam pekerjaan kepolisian, termasuk di Indonesia. Sehubungan dengan hal ini pihak kepolisian RI (POLRI) mendirikan Subdirektorat Satwa (Subdit Satwa) yang khusus memfasilitasi pelatihan anjing pelacak. Anjing keturunan, seperti Labrador Retriever memiliki nilai lebih dari kepolisian untuk kemampuan penciuman mereka dalam mencari obat-obatan terlarang dan substansi lainnya yang diselundupkan. Berbagai analisis gambaran darah pada anjing dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lingkungan lokal terhadap faktor fisiologi. Sampai saat ini, belum banyak ditemukan data mengenai nilai hematologi anjing ras Labrador Retriever. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran darah pada Labrador Retriever sebagai anjing pelacak khusus narkoba di Subdit Satwa POLRI-Depok.

Judul: Gambaran Kesehatan Anjing Pelacak Narkoba dan Pelacak Umum melalui Analisis Parameter Uji Biokimia Hati
Abstrak: Keterlibatan anjing pelacak dalam kehidupan manusia perlu didukung dengan pemeriksaan kesehatan yang baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui gambaran kesehatan hati anjing pelacak narkoba dan pelacak umum dengan menganalisis data parameter uji biokimia hati, yaitu Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST), total protein, bilirubin total, bilirubin tidak terkonjugasi, bilirubin terkonjugasi. Uji biokimia hati dilaksanakan di Klinik Veteriner Direktorat Polisi Satwa Baharkam Polri Kelapa Dua Depok tanpa membedakan jenis kelamin dan ras anjing. Uji biokimia hati telah dilakukan pada 6 ekor anjing pelacak narkoba dan 10 ekor anjing pelacak umum menggunakan alat Dialab Photometer DTN-410® dan hand refraktometer. Data kemudian disajikan menggunakan Microsoft Office Excel 2010 dan SPSS 21.0 digunakan untuk mendapatkan nilai rataan dan standar deviasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadi kecenderungan peningkatan aktivitas enzim AST, enzim ALT, dan konsentrasi bilirubin tidak terkonjugasi pada anjing pelacak. Anjing pelacak umum mengalami hiperbilirubinemia akibat peningkatan konsentrasi bilirubin terkonjugasi dan hiperproteinemia dengan prevalensi lebih tinggi dibandingkan anjing pelacak narkoba. Oleh karena itu anjing pelacak umum dapat dikatakan memiliki peluang lebih tinggi menderita penyakit hati.

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.
