Judul: Evaluasi Kesejahteraan Anjing di Pet Shop pada Pusat Perbelanjaan Mal Gajah Mada Jakarta Pusat.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kesejahteraan anjing yang dipelihara di pet shop Mal Gajah Mada Jakarta Pusat dengan prinsip lima kebebasan (five freedom). Pengambilan data dilakukan di 14 pet shop pada Agustus 2018. Penelitian ini menggunakan formulir survei dan kuesioner serta observasi langsung. Penilaian berdasarkan lima prinsip kesejahteraan hewan meliputi bebas dari rasa lapar dan haus, bebas dari rasa tidak nyaman, bebas dari rasa sakit, cedera dan penyakit, bebas dari rasa takut dan tertekan, serta bebas mengekspresikan perilaku alamiah dengan skor 1–4. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian kesejahteraan anjing di pet shop Mal Gajah Mada menunjukkan pencapaian cukup pada 87.71% pet shop dengan rataan skor berkisar antara 3.06–3.36 dan 12.29% pet shop dikategorikan kurang sejahtera dengan rata-rata skor antara 2.90–2.95. Kriteria bebas mengekspresikan perilaku alamiah memiliki rataan terendah yaitu 2.63. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa anjing yang berada di pet shop Mal Gajah Mada Jakarta Pusat belum dalam kondisi sejahtera.

Judul: Evaluasi Kesejahteraan Anjing Di Pet Shop Dan Animal Shelter Di Sekitar Negeri Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi implementasi kesejahteraan anjing yang dipelihara di pet shop dan animal shelter di sekitar Negeri Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Pengambilan data dilakukan di dua buah pet shop dan sebuah animal shelter di Negeri Pulau Pinang yang berlangsung pada bulan Juli hingga bulan Agustus 2015. Penelitian ini menggunakan formulir survei dan kuesioner dengan penilaian berdasarkan lima prinsip kesejahteraan hewan serta observasi langsung. Lima aspek dari kesejahteraan hewan meliputi kebebasan dari rasa lapar dan haus, kebebasan dari rasa tidak nyaman, kebebasan dari rasa sakit, luka dan penyakit, kebebasan dari rasa takut dan tertekan serta dapat berperilaku bebas sesuai perilaku alaminya. Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan implementasi prinsip kesejahteraan hewan terhadap anjing-anjing di K-9 Pets relatif sangat baik diikuti dengan One Petz Store dan kemudian 4PAWS. Jumlah anjing tidak berpengaruh terhadap tinggi rendahnya nilai kesejahteraan hewan tetapi lebih dipengaruhi oleh sarana dan prasarana serta pengelolaan anjing.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
