Judul: Faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi anggota subak mengadopsi system of rice intensification (sri) di tujuh kabupaten di Provinsi Bali
Abstrak: Subak sebagai lembaga tradisional pengelola air irigasi di Bali memiliki potensi yang besar dalam pengadopsian inovasi SRI. Petani anggota subak memiliki sejumlah alasan yang kuat untuk mengadopsi SRI. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah: (1) Menemukan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pengadopsian SRI di kalangan petani anggota subak; (2) Menganalisis pengaruh faktor-faktor persepsi anggota subak tentang SRI, sikap anggota subak terhadap SRI, dan kemandirian anggota subak menerapkan SRI terhadap pengadopsian SRI di kalangan petani anggota subak; (3) Menganalisis hubungan kausalitas (sebab-akibat) diantara faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi pengadopsian SRI di kalangan petani anggota subak; dan (4) Merumuskan model pengadopsian SRI di kalangan petani anggota subak yang sesuai dengan sistem sosial subak. Populasi penelitian ini adalah anggota subak (kelompok tani tradisional di Bali yang berfungsi sebagai pengelola air irigasi) dan menerapkan System of Rice Intensification (SRI) yang berjumlah 288 orang yang tersebar di tujuh kabupaten di Bali. Dengan rumus Slovin, ditetapkan sampel penelitian sebanyak 104 orang petani anggota subak yang telah menerapkan SRI. Penelitian dirancang sebagai penelitian Ex post facto. Ex post facto berarti ”setelah kejadian,” peneliti berusaha untuk menentukan sebab, atau alasan adanya perbedaan tingkah laku atau status kelompok individu. Model yang digunakan adalah model persamaan structural (Structural Equation Model). Model ini digunakan untuk menguji model-model empiris untuk menjelaskan varian dan korelasi antara suatu set peubah-peubah yang diobservasi (observe) dalam suatu sistem kausal (sebab akibat) dari faktor-faktor yang tidak diobservasi (unobserve). Data yang dikumpulkan dalam penelitian ini meliputi data primer dan data sekunder. Uji validitas yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah uji validitas isi. Untuk mendapatkan keabsahan peubah penelitian, faktor, serta isi maka v instrumen penelitian ini dikembangkan dengan menggunakan penilaian juri dari luar komisi pembimbing. Korelasi Cronbach alpha digunakan untuk menentukan tingkat reliabilitas butir-butir pertanyaan dalam kuesioner. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dari Bulan September sampai dengan Bulan Oktober 2011. Pendugaan parameter dan uji lanjut pada model SEM diselesaikan dengan perangkat lunak Lisrel versi 8.3.

Judul: Tingkat Persepsi dan Adopsi Petani Padi terhadap Penerapan System of Rice Intensification (SRI) di Desa Simarasok, Sumatera Barat
Abstrak: System of Rice Intensification or SRI is one of the methods in rice cultivation techniques. SRI is a rice cultivation practice that gives more attention to the conditions of better plant growth, especially in the root zone compared to traditional cultivation techniques. The aims of this study are to identify the perception and adoption level of farmers’ adoption in implementing SRI method and to analyze the factors that influence the adoption of SRI method. A questionnaire survey was conducted at Simarasok Village, Baso Sub-district, Agam District, West Sumatera to 35 farmers by purposive sampling. The data were processed by using logistic regression. The results showed that 57.1 percent of respondents had a good perception of the adoption of SRI while the remaining 42.9 percent had a bad perception. Meanwhile, the adoption rate of farmers was 51.4 percent of respondents have implemented the method in accordance with the guidelines of SRI and the remaining 48.6 percent have not yet. Logistic regression analysis showed that there were three variables that significantly affect the rate of SRI adoption which are farming experience, age and level of perception.

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.
