Judul: Hubungan Penerapan Kurikulum Sistem Mayor-Minor dengan Prestasi Belajar Mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: Institut Pertanian Bogor merupakan salah satu perguruan tinggi terbesar di Indonesia, oleh karena itu IPB memiliki peran yang cukup besar dalam membentuk SDM yang berkualitas. Sumber daya manusia berkualitas dapat terbentuk melalui jalur pendidikan yang berkualitas pula. Hal ini mendorong IPB untuk menyusun kurikulum sistem mayor-minor yang mampu mewujudkan tujuan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) Mengidentifikasi penerapan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor di Institut Pertanian Bogor, (2) Menganalisis persepsi mahasiswa terhadap penerapan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor yang diterapkan di Institut Pertanian Bogor, (3) Menganalisis hubungan penerapan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor dengan prestasi belajar mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor. Penerapan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor yang diteliti adalah perkuliahan mayor, pemilihan minor atau Supporting Course yang mendukung pemahaman mayor dan praktikum sebagai penunjang mayor. Ketiga komponen tersebut kemudian dihubungkan dengan indikator prestasi belajar yaitu kognitif, afektif dan psikomotorik. Analisis hubungan dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Rank Spearman. Gambaran tentang penerapan mayor-minor di IPB diperoleh dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa Pelaksanaan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor di Institut Pertanian Bogor meliputi penerapan mayor-mayor, mayor-minor, mayor-minor dan Supporting Course, serta mayor dan Supporting Course. Pelaksanaan kurikulum sistem mayor-minor dinilai positif oleh mahasiswa namun dalam penerapannya dirasakan masih perlu dilakukan perbaikan terutama pada aspek pengaturan jadwal, ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana yang memadai seperti ruang kelas, sistem teknologi informasi dan fasilitas penunjang lainnya. Persepsi mahasiswa tentang Penerapan Kurikulum Sistem mayor-minor secara keseluruhan memiliki hubungan yang positif dengan peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap pada penguasaan mayor dan pemilihan minor, serta keterampilan pada penguasaan mayor dan pelaksanaan praktikum/praktek lapang. Hal ini berarti penerapan mayor-minor oleh Institut Pertanian Bogor baru dapat memfasilitasi mahasiswa secara optimal pada peningkatan pengetahuan dan belum optimal dalam memfasilitasi mahasiswa pada peningkatan sikap dan keterampilan yang sesuai dengan disiplin ilmu.

Judul: Penjadwalan Mata Kuliah Mayor-Minor: Studi Kasus di FMIPA IPB
Abstrak: A curriculum called a major-minor curriculum has been used at Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) in the last six years. Several problems have been identified during the implementation of curriculum, one of them is related to the course scheduling. The problem on course scheduling has become a main problem in the implementation of the curriculum, because it has been found that students from a particular major would not be able to take courses from his/her chosen minor, since the courses are scheduled at the same time. This study addresses the problem on course scheduling for the major-minor curriculum. This problem is modeled as an integer linear program. The model is implemented for scheduling case at FMIPA IPB. The development of the model is initiated by identifying the necessary requirements for the course scheduling. All of these requirements are then formulated as linear equalities and or inequalities. The objective function is to minimize the rejection indicators of lecturers related to the days and time period of courses in the schedule. Several assumptions are used in this model for simplification, one of them, for example all of the classrooms are assumed to be homogen (capacity, equipment, etc.). The model can be improved later by relaxing these assumptions. The solution of the model is obtained using LINGO 11.0. This study produces a scheduling for the course that fulfills all of the requirements for major-minor curricullum at FMIPA IPB. The scheduling minimizes the rejection indicators of lecturers related to the days and time period of courses in the schedule.

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
