Judul: Gambaran persembuhan luka jahitan kulit pasca laparotomi Medianus pada kucing lokal (felis domestica) dengan berbagai macam benang jahit
Abstrak: Laparotomi medianus adalah pembukaan rongga abdomen yang penyayatannya dilakukan pada garis linea alba (aponeurose musculus obliqus abdominis eksternus dan intemus). Bertujuan untuk berbagai kepentingan seperti enterotomi, ovariektomi, ovariehisterektomi, cystotomi serta eksplorasi abdomen untuk kepentingan diagnosa. Pada operasi ini pendarahan dan kerusakan jaringan selalu terjadi. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan pengamatan terhadap benang jahit dan metode penjahitan yang lebih baik demi kesejahtraan hewan. Penelitian ini menggunakan 12 ekor kucing lokal berumur 1-3 tahun dengan berat badan 1,5-3 Kg. Hewan di bagi dalam tiga kelompok perlakuan yaitu : kelompok A (jahitan subkutis dengan benang jahit kulit cat gut), kelompok B (jahitan kulit sederhana dengan benang jahit silk) dan kelompok C (jahitan kulit sederhana dengan benang jahit cotton). Parameter yang di amati diferensiasi leukosit, bengkak, merah serta basah pada luka jahitan kulit. Hasil pemeriksaan diferensiasi leukosit yang meliputi neutrofil, limfosit dan monosit (terjadi peningkatan) serta eosinofil dan basofil (terjadi penurunan) hari ke-8 pasca laparotomi medianus bila dibandingkan dengan hari ke-0 untuk ketiga kelompok perlakuan. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa tubuh bereaksi terhadap adanya perlukaan dan adanya benda asing (benang jahit). Secara makroskopis pengamatan makroskopis luka jahitan kulit yang diamati hari ke-0, ke-4 dan ke-8 menunjukan telah terjadinya proses peradangan yang. menyertai persembuhan luka untuk ketiga kelompok perlakuan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, bahwa penjahitan kulit menggunakan benang Cotton dapat digunakan sebagai benang jahit alternatif pengganti Silk dan Cat gut.

Judul: Peran Gambaran Leukosit terhadap Kesembuhan Luka antara H-Plasty dengan Linear Closure pada Kucing Lokal (Felis catus).
Abstrak: Skin wounds commonly seen in veterinary practice can be repaired with a variety of reconstructive choices such as skin flaps. The research purpose is to learn and understand the healing process between skin flap H-Plasty and linear closure in domestic house cats by observing leukocyte profiles. Six male cats divided into two groups were used of which open wounds of 2x2 cm were made on the skin of lateral thorax. In H-Plasty group, 1 cm parallel incisions were made on each sides of the defect, skin is undermined, advanced over the defect and sutured. In linear closure group, the elliptic defect was sutured across the widest part, continued by dividing each remaining segment in half with subsequent sutures. Blood was drawn of 1 ml from the medial saphenous vein for an alternating 3 days of a 12-day period and the profiles’ results were observed. Both flaps showed insignificant differences (P>0.05) in the profiles of segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes whereas significant differences (p<0.05) was seen in the profiles of leukocytes, banded neutrophils and eosinophils when compared between observation time. The profiles’ results were all within reference range, therefore both skin flaps can be used to close wounds.

Judul: Methane Consumption (CH4) on Upland Rice Cultivation Under Micro Climate Cobdition With N Fertilizer Levels
Abstrak: Methane (CH4) is one of radiatively active trace gases or greenhouse gas, having strong absorbsivity to the infrared outgoing radiation emitted by the earth's surface, hence causing the warming of the atmosphere. Methane concentration in the atmosphere increases with a rate of about 12+1 ppbv/yr, or 36 Tg/yr. The increase of methane was predicted to have a significant impact on the earth's climate. The presence of 1.3 ppmv of methane in the atmosphere causes the globally average surface temperature 1.30C higher than it would be with no methane.
