Judul: Relationship between Growth Site Factors and Silvicultural Treatment on Productivity of Kayu Bawang (Dysoxylum mollissimum Blume) in People’s Forest of Bengkulu.
Abstrak: Kayu bawang (Dysoxylum mollissimum Blume) is a local species which is considered as superior in Bengkulu and is used as construction wood. Wood of this species is resistant toward termite attack, has aroma like onion, and is bitter. Kayu bawang has good quality wood, belongs to resistance level B, or resistance level which ranges from fairly resistant to resistant toward termite attack. Kayu bawang has straight stem and is categorized as fast growing species. Planting of kayu bawang has varied productivity. This research was aimed at determining the relationship between growth site factors and silvicultural treatments on productivity of kayu bawang. This study conducted on communities forest in North and Central Bengkulu District, Province of Bengkulu. In this research, principal component analysis was used and silvicultural treatment was analyzed descriptively in qualitative manner. Research results showed that growth site factors which were negatively correlated with productivity of kayu bawang in the research location were slope, altitude, and percentage of light intensity. The optimum planting of kayu bawang in the research location was at slopes ranging between 0-20%, altitude ranging between 23-65 m asl, and percentage of light intensity ranging between 9-19%. Productivity of kayu bawang at poor condition of growth site could be improved through appropriate silvicultural treatment. Silvicultural treatments which had been practiced by the people were still not good yet. Planting stocks being planted were usually originated from natural regeneration. Planting was done in irregular manner (random). Activities of soil tillage, weeding, and prunning were seldom practiced. Besides that, activities of replanting of failure, fertilizer application and thinning were never conducted.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
