Judul: Soil Infiltration of Regosol and Latosol under Bamboo Stand in Cikabayan Educational Field Station
Abstrak: Bambu berperan sebagai tanaman konservasi yang mampu memperbaiki sistem hidrologi, dimana tipe perakaran serabut yang dimiliki mampu menyerap dan menyimpan air lebih banyak di dalam tanah. Kemampuan tanah dalam meresapkan air dapat diketahui dari karakteristik infiltrasi tanahnya. Pengukuran infiltrasi menggunakan double ring infiltrometer dilakukan untuk melihat pengaruh tanaman bambu terhadap peresapan air pada jarak berbeda dari rumpun bambu, serta memprediksi model infiltrasi yang dapat diterapkan pada Regosol dan Latosol di bawah tegakan bambu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai kapasitas infiltrasi konstan pada Latosol lebih tinggi dibandingkan Regosol. Hal ini dipengaruhi oleh sifat-sifat fisik tanah pada Latosol, dimana Latosol memiliki nilai bobot isi rendah serta kandungan bahan organik yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan Regosol. Uji statistik menunjukkan kapasitas infiltrasi konstan dengan perbedaan jarak dari rumpun bambu tidak berbeda nyata pada Regosol dan Latosol. Waktu pencapaian kapasitas infiltrasi konstan pada Latosol lebih cepat dibanding Regosol. Perbedaan karakteristik infiltrasi tanah dipengaruhi oleh bahan organik, bobot isi, ruang pori total, dan stabilitas agregat tanah.

Judul: Ketahanan Penetrasi dan Kekuatan Geser Regosol dan Latosol di Bawah Tegakan Bambu
Abstrak: Bambu berperan penting dalam menekan erosi dan meningkatkan stabilitas tanah. Penelitian bertujuan mengkaji nilai ketahanan penetrasi dan kekuatan geser Regosol dan Latosol di bawah tegakan bambu pada jarak yang berbeda dari rumpun bambu. Lahan bambu yang diteliti berlokasi di Kebun Pendidikan Cikabayan, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai ketahanan penetrasi dan kekuatan geser pada Latosol lebih tinggi dibanding Regosol. Nilai ketahanan penetrasi dan kekuatan geser pada Regosol cenderung semakin besar seiring dengan semakin jauh dari rumpun bambu, sedangkan pada Latosol cenderung semakin besar seiring dengan jarak yang semakin dekat. Perakaran bambu membuat tanah menjadi porous sehingga memudahkan akar untuk menembus tanah. Selain itu, akar bambu dapat menyebabkan adanya penguatan tanah karena kuat tariknya yang tinggi sehingga meningkatkan nilai kekuatan geser tanah., Bamboo plays an important role in supressing erosion and increasing soil stability. The research aims to examine the value of penetration resistance and shear strength of Regosol and Latosol under bamboo stands at difference distance of bamboo clumps. The bamboo land is located in Cikabayan Educational Field, IPB University. The results showed that the value of penetration resistance and shear strength in Latosol was higher than Regosol. The value of penetration resistance and shear strength in Regosol tends to get bigger with the distance from bamboo clumps, whereas in Latosol it tends to get bigger as the distance gets closer. Bamboo roots could make soil become porous so that it could be easier for the roots to penetrate into soil. In addition, bamboo roots could reinforce soil strength because of its high tensile that could increase the value of soil shear strength

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.
