Judul: Model pengembangan infrastruktur kawasan Agropolitan berbasis komoditas unggulan kelapa yang berkelanjutan di Sulawesi Utara
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang memiliki luas areal perkebunan kelapa (Cocos nucifera) terbesar di dunia, namun produk olahan masih terbatas baik jumlah maupun jenisnya. Di Sulawesi Utara, 70 persen penduduk bergantung dari tanaman kehidupan ini, namun kondisi saat ini sistem dan usaha agribisnis petani dalam hal pengolahan agroindustri belum optimal, produk turunan kelapa belum terolah maksimal, keterbatasan infrastruktur mengakibatkan struktur industri masih bersifat parsial dan individual sehingga optimalisasi dan efisiensi pemanfaatan seluruh potensi kelapa masih rendah. Penelitian ini berlokasi pada kawasan agropolitan Ngaasan, kabupaten Minahasa Selatan Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) membangun model pengembangan infrastruktur kawasan agropolitan berbasis komoditas unggulan kelapa, (2) mengkaji faktor dan aktor penggerak pengembangan komoditas unggulan untuk merumuskan kebijakan dan strategi pengembangan, dan (3) menganalisis potensi pengembangan agribisnis pengolahan kelapa terpadu, tanpa limbah, berbasis masyarakat dan investasi swasta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis situasional, analisis kelembagaan, analisis SWOT, analisis ekonomi dan analisis spasial yang hasil analisisnya menghasilkan kebutuhan infrastruktur di kawasan agropolitan pada lima subsistem agribisnis. Langkah selanjutnya yaitu mengkaji kelima subsistem agribisnis ini dalam model pengembangan kelembagaan, model pengembangan infrastruktur dan model pengembangan AKT (Agribisnis Kelapa Terpadu) dalam bentuk model investasi kawasan yang kemudian akan menjadi dasar untuk kompilasi model dinamik. Validitas model diuji dengan validasi struktur dan validasi kinerja mode. Langkah terakhir adalah menilai kinerja kawasan menggunakan metode perbandingan Before-after untuk membandingkan kinerja kawasan sebelum dan sesudah model dikembangkan serta menilai keberlanjutan model mengunakan nilai indeks keberlanjutan. dst ...

Judul: Model pengembangan infrastruktur kawasan Agropolitan berbasis komoditas unggulan kelapa yang berkelanjutan di Sulawesi Utara
Abstrak: Indonesia is an archipelago country which has the biggest coconut (Cocos nucifera) fannland in the wor1d, yet has a limited amount and type of refined product. In North Sulawesi Province, 70 percent of population are depent their life on this plant, although the condition of system and farmer agribusiness in processing agro industries is not optimal yet. This research located in agropolitan Ngaasan area. South Minahasa Regency. The purposes of this research are: {1) to construct the infrastructure development model of coconut based commodity prime agropolitan region. (2) to analyze the prime mover factors and actors of the commodity prime development in order to fonnulate the policy and the development strategy, (3) to analyze the development potential of coconut refining, zero waste, society based, and private investment agribusiness. This research applied conditional analysis, institutional analysis, SWOT analysis, economical analysis, and spatial analysis which results the needs of agropolitan infrastructures in five subsystems of agribusiness. The next step is to examine this five sub agribusiness into model of institutional development, model of infrastructures development and model of ICA {integrated coconut agribusiness) and the last step is to test for model's validity to the validation of structure and operational model and atso apply the Before-after comparison method to compare the operational of the area before and after this model being developed. ...dst

Judul: Parasit Dalam Sel Darah Merah Anjing Ras Doberman dan Labrador Retriever
Abstrak: This research was conducted to know infection of parasite in erythrocyte of Doberman and Labrador Retriever dogs at Kelapa Dua Depok. Seven Doberman’s blood smear and seven Labrador Retriver’s blood smear were stained by Giemsa 10% and examined under 1000 X magnificence. The result of examination showed that the dog were positively infected by Babesia sp. and Theileria sp. The average percentation of Babesia sp. and Theileria sp. in Doberman dogs were (0.6857±0.19518)% and (0.6486±0.29300)%, respectively. Meanwhile the average percentation of Babesia sp.,and Theileria sp. in Labrador Retriever dogs were (0.6771±0.10350)% and (0.6857±0.09619)%. In general, the parasitemia in those dogs were in mild reaction (<1%).
