Judul: Morfologi Kelenjar Parotis dan Mandibularis Musang Luak (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)
Abstrak: This research was aimed to describe the morphology of the parotid and mandibular glands of Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). Four adult civets were used in this research which observed macroscopic and microscopically. The macroscopic observation had been done by observing the shape and size of the glands. The microscopic observation was done using hematoxylin-eosin, alcian blue pH 2.5 and periodic acid Schiff staining method. The parotid gland was of pure serous glands whereas the mandibular gland was of mixed gland. By using histochemistry method showed that the parotid gland gave negative reaction with alcian blue pH 2.5, whereas periodic acid Schiff gave positive reaction with moderate intensity in the serous acini cells while a weak intensity the duct lumen secretion. The mandibular glands gave positive reaction of both stains, a high intensity was detected in the mucous acini cells while a weak intensity was detected in duct lumen secretion with alcian blue pH 2.5. Periodic acid Schiff gave a high intensity in the serous acini while a moderate to high intensity was detected in the duct lumen secretion. In general, the characteristic of both glands were not similar with that of other carnivores. This may be caused by diet pattern differences.

Judul: Morfologi Esofagus dan Lambung Musang Luak (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus)
Abstrak: This research was aimed to describe the morphology of the esophagus and stomach of Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). This study was used organs from three Asian palm civets which observed macroscopic and microscopically. The macroscopic observation had done by observing the shape and the size of the esophagus and stomach. The microscopic observation was done using histochemical method with hematoksilin eosin (HE), alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5, and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining methods. The results showed that the esophagus were 17.3 centimeters in length and 1.06, 0.72, 0.83 centimeters in diameters of cranial, medial, and caudal portion respectively. The esophagus was lined with nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, has no esophageal glands, and more than half was consist of skeletal muscle. The stomach of Asian palm civet was a J shape with the greater curvature about two times longer than the lesser one. The glandular stomachs were composed of cardiac, fundic, and pyloric glands. Fundic glands were characterized by the presence of mucous cells, chief cells and a great number of parietal cells. At the border between pylorus and the duodenum was found a thin of pyloric sphincter muscle. Brunner glands were found in the submucosal area of pylorus near the border. The AB and PAS stain showed neutral carbohydrates were dominant on the surface of the esophagus and the glandular

Judul: Pengaruh Efek Tempo dan Efek Kuantum pada Angka Kelahiran Total
Abstrak: Pada karya ilmiah ini dibahas pengaruh efek tempo dan efek kuantum pada Total Fertility Rate (TFR) untuk ukuran periode maupun kohort. Efek tempo ditandai dengan perubahan rata-rata umur melahirkan wanita, sedangkan efek kuantum ditandai dengan perubahan intensitas kelahiran. Metode yang dilakukan dalam mempelajari efek tempo dan efek kuantum pada TFR terdiri dari beberapa tahap. Langkah pertama adalah membangkitkan data hipotetik dari angka kelahiran wanita menggunakan fungsi gamma. Kemudian akan diformulasikan TFR yang telah disesuaikan efek tempo dan efek kuantum (TFRA). Dari hasil simulasi yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa efek tempo yang ditandai dengan adanya peningkatan rata-rata umur melahirkan dan efek kuantum yang ditunjukkan dengan adanya penurunan rata-rata jumlah anak yang dilahirkan akan membuat nilai TFRA lebih realistis dibanding TFR yang tidak disesuaikan efek tempo dan efek kuantum.
