Judul: Estimation of Mangrove Carbon Stock Biomass Using  a Combination of Allometric and Spatial Methods in Mangrovesari Ecotourism, Brebes, Central Java
Abstrak: SAKILA AZRIL LIA. Estimasi Stok Karbon Biomassa Mangrove Menggunakan Kombinasi Metode Alometrik dan Spasial di Ekowisata Mangrovesari, Brebes, Jawa Tengah. Dibimbing oleh FERY KURNIAWAN dan ARIO DAMAR. Mangrove berpotensi untuk menyerap dan menyimpan karbon lima kali lebih efektif dari rata-rata simpanan karbon hutan tropis. Upaya rehabilitasi yang dilakukan oleh pengelola Mangrovesari berdampak positif dalam menambah luasan hutan mangrove secara signifikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengestimasi stok karbon total ekosistem mangrove menggunakan pendekatan integrasi alometrik dan spasial di ekowisata Mangrovesari, Desa Kaliwlingi, Brebes, Jawa Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa spesies mangrove yang mendominasi di ekowisata Mangrovesari adalah Rhizophora mucronata. Faktor lingkungan seperti suhu, pH, salinitas, dan DO serta tipe substrat berpengaruh terhadap kerapatan mangrove. Kerapatan mangrove memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap biomassa dan stok karbon mangrove. Nilai stok karbon mangrove di ekowisata Mangrovesari dikelompokan ke dalam 3 kategori kerapatan mangrove. Mangrove dengan kategori jarang mengandung stok karbon sebesar 42,02 ton/ha, kategori sedang sebesar 26,61 ton/ha, kategori rapat sebesar 444,60 ton/ha, dan stok karbon mangrove total sebesar 513,2334 ton/ha.

Estimation of Stock Carbon Mangrove Biomass Using a Combination of Allometric and Spatial Methods in Mangrovesari Ecotourism, Brebes, Central Java Supervised by FERY KURNIAWAN and ARIO DAMAR. Mangroves have the potential to absorb and store carbon five times more effectively than the average tropical forest carbon storage. Rehabilitation efforts carried out by Mangrovesari managers have a positive impact in significantly increasing the area of mangrove forests. This study aims to estimate the total carbon stock of mangrove ecosystems using allometric and spatial integration approaches in Mangrovesari ecotourism, Kaliwlingi Village, Brebes, Central Java. The results showed that the dominating mangrove species in Mangrovesari ecotourism was Rhizophora mucronata. Environmental factors such as temperature, pH, salinity, and DO as well as substrate type affect mangrove density. Mangrove density has a positive influence on mangrove biomass and carbon stock. Mangrove carbon stock values in Mangrovesari ecotourism are grouped into 3 categories of mangrove density. Mangroves with sparse categories contain carbon stock of 42,02 tons/ha, medium category of 26,61 tons/ha, dense category of 444,60 tons/ha, and total mangrove carbon stock of 513,23 tons/ha.

Judul: Estimation of Carbon Content in Mangrove Stands in the Karangsong Mangrove Ecotourism Area, Indramayu Regency
Abstrak: Hutan mangrove mempunyai potensi mitigasi perubahan iklim karena kemampuannya dalam menyerap dan menyimpan karbon dalam waktu lama dan dalam jumlah besar. Adanya alih fungsi lahan dapat merubah komposisi vegetasi hutan mangrove dan mengurangi simpanan karbon. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui komposisi vegetasi pada kawasan ekowisata mangrove Karangsong dan mengetahui kemampuan mangrove dalam menyerap serta menyimpan karbon. Metode dalam penelitian ini yaitu jalur garis berpetak pada 10 titik stasiun pengamatan yang dianggap mewakili keseluruhan karakteristik vegetasi dengan total intensitas sampling sebesar 5%. Analisis kandungan karbon dilakukan menggunakan persamaan alometrik. Dari hasil analisis vegetasi terdapat 4 jenis mangrove, yiatu Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora mucronata. Total biomassa, kandungan karbon dan simpanan karbon dioksida seluruh kawasan seluas 20 ha yaitu beturut-turut sebesar 99,14 ton/ha; 46,6 tonC/ha; 171 tonCO2 /ha. Besarnya kandungan karbon yang tersimpan di kawasan ekowisata Mangrove Karangsong dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan yang terbentuk pada tegakan mangrove., Mangrove forests have the potential to mitigate climate change because of their ability to absorb and store carbon for a long time and in large quantities. The existence of land use change can change the composition of mangrove forest vegetation and reduce carbon sequestration. This study aims to determine the composition of vegetation in the Karangsong mangrove ecotourism area and to determine the ability of mangroves to absorb and store carbon. The method in this study was a line transect plot at 10 points of observation stations which are considered to represent the overall characteristics of the vegetation, the total sampling intensity is 5%. Carbon content analysis was carried out using allometric equations. From the results of the vegetation analysis, there were 4 types of mangroves, namely Avicennia marina, Avicennia alba, Rhizophora stylosa, and Rhizophora mucronata. The total biomass, carbon content, and carbon dioxide uptake in the entire area of 20 ha are 99.14 tons/ha; 46.6 tonsC/ha; and 171 tonsCO2/ha, respectively. The amount of carbon stored in the Karangsong Mangrove ecotourism area was influenced by environmental factors formed in the mangrove stands.

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.
