Judul: Persamaan Matematika untuk Struktur Tegakan Horizontal Hutan Mangrove di Pantai Timur Kota Surabaya
Abstrak: Mangrove forest is one of the coastal ecosystems which have important roles in development and management of East Coast Surabaya so information about species and stand structure of the mangrove forest are needed. The purpose of this study is arranging mathematic equation for horizontal stand structure which describe horizontal stand structure according dominant species and stand conditions, includes undisturbed natural stand, disturbed natural stand, and unnatural stand. Data was collected from 10  10 m sample plot and selected by purposive sampling. Composing and analyzing of mathematic equation used negative exponential function N = N0e-kD. Undisturbed natural stand and unnatural stand which dominated by api-api (genus Avicennia) specieses have high density, composed by large numbers of small diameter trees, and a sharp decline number of larger diameter trees. Instead, the trees distribution of undisturbed natural stand dominated by bogem (Sonneratia caseolaris) are proportioned enough but it has less regeneration, a low density, and the ability of natural regeneration is relatively slow.

Judul: Komposisi Jenis dan Struktur Vegetasi Hutan Mangrove di Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke, Jakarta Utara
Abstrak: Hutan mangrove Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke (SMMA) merupakan kawasan penyangga kehidupan di DKI Jakarta yang memerlukan penjagaan dari kerusakan. Informasi struktur dan komposisi jenis hutan mangrove dapat membantu pengelolaan berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari komposisi jenis dan struktur vegetasi hutan mangrove di SMMA. Analisis vegetasi dilakukan menggunakan metode grid dengan luasan yang diamati seluas 6.800 m2 berjumlah 17 petak dengan ukuran setiap petak 20 x 20 m. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hutan mangrove SMMA memiliki 26 jenis tumbuhan penyusun dari 21 famili. Jenis Sonneratia caseolaris dan Rhizophora mucronata mendominasi pada pohon dan permudaannya, Brachiaria mutica pada tumbuhan bawah, serta Nypa fruticans mendominasi palem-paleman. Nilai keanekaragaman dan indeks kekayaan jenis hutan mangrove SMMA tergolong rendah. Indeks dominansi hutan mangrove SMMA pada pohon dan palem tergolong tinggi, semai dan tumbuhan bawah tergolong sedang, dan pancang tergolong rendah, sedangkan kemerataan jenis pada pohon, pancang, dan tumbuhan bawah tergolong sedang, dan semai dan palem-paleman tergolong rendah. Struktur horizontal hutan mangrove membentuk kurva J terbalik, sedangkan struktur vertikal membentuk lapisan stratum C dan stratum D., Muara Angke Wildlife Reserve (SMMA) mangrove forest is the buffer zones for DKI Jakarta which requires protection from damage. Information of mangrove forest structure and species composition can assist sustainable management. This study aims to study species composition and vegetation structure of SMMA mangrove forest. Vegetation analysis was carried out by the grid method with an observed area of 6.800 m2 totaled 17 plots with a size of each quadrat 20 x 20 m. This study shows that the results of SMMA mangrove forest has 26 species from 21 families. Species Sonneratia caseolaris and Rhizophora mucronata dominate the level of trees and the regeneration, Brachiaria mutica of undergrowth, with Nypa fruticans dominate palms. The diversity and species richness index of SMMA mangrove forest was low. The dominance index on trees and palms were high, while seedlings and undergrowth were moderate, and on saplings were low, while the species evenness index on trees, saplings, and undergrowth was moderate, and for seedlings and palms low. For the horizontal structure of mangrove forest forms an inverted J-curve, while the vertical structure forms stratum C and stratum D.

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.
