Judul: Identification of Staphylococcus aureus from Vagina of Limousine Cattle with Repeat Breeding in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas
Abstrak: Repeat breeding (RB) merupakan satu diantara kasus gangguan reproduksi yang umum terjadi pada sapi yang dapat menyebabkan penurunan fertilitas induk dan angka kebuntingan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi bakteri Staphylococcus aureus yang diduga menjadi satu diantara penyebab kasus repeat breeding pada sapi Limousin di BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak lima ekor sapi Limousin yang mengalami RB. Spesimen berasal dari cairan vagina sapi yang mengalami RB. Metode uji yang digunakan untuk identifikasi bakteri adalah kultur, pewarnaan Gram dan uji biokimia. Hasil uji identifikasi menunjukkan bahwa pada lima sampel yang diuji tidak ditemukan bakteri Staphylococcus aureus. Namun, ditemukan bakteri lain diantaranya Micrococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia sp., Achromobacter sp., dan Alcaligenes sp. Kata Kunci: gangguan reproduksi, repeat breeding, sapi Limousin, Staphylococcus aureus, Repeat breeding (RB) is one of the common cases of reproductive disorders in cattle that could lead to decrease of calf birth and conception rate. The objectives of this study was to isolate and identify the Staphylococcus aureus which was suspected as one of the causes of repeat breeding cases on Limousine cattle in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas. The samples used were five Limousine cattle which suffer from RB. The specimens came from vaginal discharge of the cattle which suffer from RB. The test method used to identify bacteria are culture, Gram stain and biochemical test. The results of the identification test showed that there is no Staphylococcus aureus bacteria found over the five samples tested. However, there were other bacteria found including Micrococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Escherichia sp., Achromobacter sp., and Alcaligenes sp.

Judul: Isolasi dan Identifikasi Staphylococcus aureus pada Vagina Sapi Simmental yang Mengalami Kawin Berulang
Abstrak: Staphylococcus aureus merupakan salah satu bakteri penyebab infeksi sekunder pada sapi yang mengalami kawin berulang (repeat breeding, RB). Kawin berulang dapat menyebabkan penurunan angka kebuntingan dan kelahiran pada sapi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi Staphylococcus aureus dari vagina sapi Simmental yang mengalami RB dari BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas. Sebanyak lima spesimen bilasan vagina dikoleksi dari lima ekor sapi Simmental yang mengalami RB. Metode yang digunakan untuk identifikasi bakteri pada penelitian ini, yaitu pewarnaan Gram dan uji biokimia. Spesimen dikultur pada media blood agar (BA) dengan teknik gores T, lalu dilakukan pewarnaan Gram dan dilanjutkan dengan uji biokimia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ditemukan bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dari kelima spesimen bilas vagina sapi yang diidentifikasi. Adapun bakteri yang teridentifikasi, yaitu bakteri genus Micrococcus dan Bacillus. Kata kunci: kawin berulang, sapi Simmental, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria’s causes secondary infection toward the repeated breeding (RB) of cows. repeated breeding could affect the decline of pregnancy rate for the cows. This study aimed to isolate and identify the Staphylococcus aureus in Simmental’s vagina through the RB in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas. There were five specimens of vaginal douching collected from five Simmental cows had been through repeated breeding. There were two methods used in this research to identify the bacteria, those were Gram Staining and Biochemical test. The specimens were cultivated within the media of Blood Agar (BA) by using T-Streak technique. The next step was Gram staining, and continued by biochemical testing. The result showed that there were no Staphylococcus aureus bacteria found from those identified specimens. On the other side, the bacteria identified from those specimens were genus Micrococcus and Bacillus. Keywords: repeated breeding, Simmental cows, Staphylococcus aureus

Judul: Metrik Einstein (Anti-) Self-Dual Berdimensi Empat dengan Metode Cartan
Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
