Judul: Blood Chemistry Profile of Long-tailed Monkey (Macaca fascicularis) Infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae
Abstrak: Klebsiella pneumoniae merupakan bakteri nosokomial yang dapat menginfeksi hewan maupun manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan Macaca fascicularis karena potensinya menjadi media penyebar zoonosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari kesehatan organ ginjal dan hati Macaca fascicularis yang terinfeksi Klebsiella pneumoniae. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pemeriksaan kimia darah terhadap Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), kreatinin, total protein, albumin, globulin, rasio albumin/globulin, bilirubin total, Alanine Transaminase (ALT), dan Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) yang dibandingkan dengan nilai normal kimia darah M. fascicularis. Infeksi K. pneumoniae menyebabkan kenaikan nilai kimia darah yaitu BUN dan rasio albumin/globulin, serta penurunan nilai kreatinin, globulin, dan total protein. Hal ini menunjukkan monyet ini mengalami gangguan ginjal yang disebabkan infeksi K. pneumoniae. Nilai kimia darah yang berada pada rentang normal adalah albumin, bilirubin total, ALT, dan ALP, yang menunjukkan M. fascicularis tidak mengalami gangguan fungsi hati.

Judul: Analisis Hematologi dan Kimia Darah Macaca Fascicularis dengan Infeksi Positif terhadap Klebsiella Pneumoniae
Abstrak: Klebsiella pneumoniae belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and is found in mouth and intestine. Klebsiella pneumoniae has been reported in various nonhuman primate species with the cases of pneumonia, septicemia, and enteritis. This secondary study purposed to obtain information of clinical pathology profile related to Klebsiella infection in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). This secondary study was conducted on three long-tailed monkeys which showed positive results in the bacterial culture test. The secondary study was based on blood analysis to evaluate hematology and blood chemistry. The results demonstrate that monkeys with Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibited marked changes in erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values in hematology as well as creatinine, total protein, and albumin levels and albumin/globulin ratio in blood chemistry profile. The changes may indicate the incidence of anemia, liver disease, thrombocytopenia, dehydration, inflammatory response and kidney disease, which may be associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
