Abstrak: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, risk factor and parasitemia blood parasite based on age and sex category on cattle in Ujungjaya sub-district, Sumedang regency, West Java. Blood samples were collected from 139 cattle in July 2012. Thin blood smears were made on glass slide, fixed in methanol, stained with Giemsa 10% and observed using a microscope with 1000x magnifications. The amount of intraerythrocytic parasite counted for every 500 red blood cells. The potential of risk factor in regard with age, sex, ways to raise, flies and tick control were analyzed with chi-square. The result showed that the highest prevalence was observed in Anaplasma sp. (38.8%), followed by Babesia sp. (33.8%), and Theileria sp. (22.3%). The prevalence of babesiosis and anaplasmosis are influenced by age and ways to raise (p<0.05), while theileriosis had not significantly different. Sex did not affect the level of prevalence. The prevalence of babesiosis is influenced by flies and tick control (p<0.05), while anaplasmosis and theileriosis did not differ significantly. In general, the level of parasitemia increased along with increasing by age. The parasitemia of babesiosis in cow had differently with bull (p<0.05), while anaplasmosis and theileriosis had not significantly different. Percentage parasitemia at various age and sex have the same value that is <1%, which is relatively mild levels of parasitemia.

Judul: Kajian Penyakit Parasit Darah pada Sapi Potong di Kecamatan Cipatujah, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: The purpose of this study was conducted for determine the prevalence, risk factor, and parasitaemia blood parasite based on age and sex category on cattle in Cipatujah sub-district, Tasikmalaya regency, West Java. Blood samples were collected in July 2012 from 142 cattle. Samples were processed in glass slide, stained with Giemsa 10%, and observed using a microscope with 1000x magnifications with a drop of immersion oil. The amount of blood parasite counted for every 500 red blood cells. The potential of risk factor in regard with age, sex, and livestock management which were obtained by interviewing the breeder. The result showed that the highest prevalence was observed in Theileria sp. (57.04%), followed by Babesia sp. (50%), and the lowest Anaplasma sp. (29.57%). The prevalence of theileriosis was influenced by sex and age of cattle (p<0.05), while babesiosis and anaplasmosis was not differ significantly. In Cipatujah sub-district, prevalence of blood parasite was not influenced by ways to raise and vector control. In general, the level of parasitaemia was influenced by age and the differences of sex, wherein female cattle had highest level of parasitaemia compared to male cattle, and adult cattle (>12 months) had higher level of parasitaemia more than child cattle (6-12 months) and calf cattle (0-6 months).

Judul: Pembuatan Film Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) pada Beberapa Molaritas dan Karakterisasi Sifat Lisrik, Sifat Optik dan Struktur Kristalnya
Abstrak: Fotodioda film lithium niobate (LiNbO3) telah berhasil dibuat dengan menumbuhkan LiNbO3 di permukaan substrat Si(100) tipe-p dengan menggunakan metode sol gel berdasarkan teknik spin coating pada kecepatan putar 3000 rpm selama 30 detik. Film LiNbO3 dibuat dengan konsentrasi 0,5 M, 1 M, dan 2 M dan proses annealing pada suhu 900°C selama 1 jam, 8 jam, 15 jam, dan 22 jam. Dilakukan karakterisasi sifat listrik, optik, dan struktur film. Karakterisasi I-V dilakukan pada kondisi gelap dan terang. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa film bersifat fotodioda. Hasil karakterisasi I-V juga menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi molaritas turut mempengaruhi bentuk dioda film, yaitu molaritas yang makin tinggi maka bentuk dioda filmnya itu semakin baik, yaitu pada molaritas 1 M dan waktu annealing 15 jam. Konduktivitas listrik (σ) film annealing selama 1 jam, 8 jam, 15 jam, dan 22 jam berturut-turut adalah 1.49 x 10-5 S/cm, 2.05 x 10-5 S/cm, 2.27 x 10-5 S/cm, 6.66 x 10-5 S/cm. Nilai konduktivitas listrik (σ) tersebut berada dalam rentang σ semikonduktor, sehingga film LiNbO3 yang dihasilkan merupakan material semikonduktor. Selain karakterisasi I-V dan konduktivitas listrik dilakukan juga karakterisasi konstanta dielektrik (ε). Nilai ε film menurun ketika tegangan ditingkatkan dari 1 volt, 3 volt, dan 5 volt. Sedangkan semakin lama film ditahan pada suhu 900o C mengakibatkan konstanta dielektriknya meningkat. Karakterisasi sifat optik meliputi pengukuran absorbansi dan reflektansi film. Kurva absorbansi yang diperoleh memperlihatkan panjang gelombang yang paling banyak diserap dan dipantulkan, yaitu berkisar dari 400-500 nm dan 570-600 nm. Data reflektansi film dapat digunakan untuk menghitung indeks bias (n) dan energy gap (Eg). Kurva absorbansi yang diperoleh memperlihatkan panjang gelombang yang paling banyak diserap dan dipantulkan yaitu berkisar dari 400-500 nm dan 570-600 nm Karakterisasi sifat struktur berupa pengujian XRD. Hasil yang diperoleh memperlihatkan intensitas difraksi tertinggi dimiliki oleh film LiNbO3 pada waktu annealing 1 jam, sedangkan intensitas difraksi terendah dimiliki oleh film LiNbO3 pada waktu annealing 22 jam.
