Judul: Design of intelligent decision support system for the development of agroindustry based agropolitan
Abstrak: Agropolitan is a concept of agricultural development based on regional dimension which optimizes local potential resources and increases local competitive advantages. However, agropolitan development has some obstacles to be implemented such as no coordination and cooperation between stakeholder. The purpose of this study was to establish agroindustry based agropolitan concept. Through system approach, the intelligent decision support system (DSS) developed in this research was to support the implementation of market and material driven agropolitan development. The intelligent DSS was also able to define and delineate spatially the agropolitan area where agriculture had a most contribution to mean of support and welfare of local residents. Meanwhile, within its agropolitan center, the agroindustry could increase agriculture added value to support agropolitan implementation and its sustainibility. The model has been tested at Kabupaten Probolinggo and showed that corn, mango, onion and potato were best commodities within the region and corn based ethanol was highest priority product. Ethanol agroindustry was designed with capacity of 30 milion gallons per year that feasible to be established. As a stucture and infrastructure of supporting agropolitan based on agroindustry, it was recommended to develop market and road. Considering medium level of existing human resource and infrastructure condition, vertical integrated institution has been selected as an appropriate institution model in agroindusty based agropolitan.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
