Judul: Perbandingan Keanekaragaman Semut (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Pada Empat Tipe Ekosistem yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Deforestation or transformation of forest function to non-forest has been playing a role in the changes of ecosystem and species in it. Insect as one of the living fauna that live in the forest is an interesting aspect to be studied, especially ants. This experiment was conducted in Bungku, Bajubang District , Batanghari Regency, Jambi. Sampling technique using pitfall traps in four ecosystem. The four ecosystem mentioned is secondary forest, oil palm plantations, rubber plantations, and jungle rubber. The results found there were 5 484 individuals of 50 ant morphospecies, 33 genera of 6 subfamily i.e. Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Ponerinae, Dolichodorinae, Pseudomyrmicinae, and Dolichorinae. Secondary forest is an ecosystem that relatively stable with the value of diversity index H '= 2.76, index of richness DMg = 4.96, and index of evenness E = 0.70. The ant communities depend on environment factor of each ecosystem.

Abstrak: Deforestation or changes in the function from forest to non-forest ecosystems has been playing a role in the change of ecosystem and species in it. Soil fauna is one of is an interesting aspect to be studied. This experiment was conducted in Bungku, District Bajubang, Batanghari Regency, Jambi. Sampling technique using hand sorting method in fourth ecosystem. The fourth ecosystem mentioned is secondary forest (BF), jungle rubber (BJ), oil palm plantations (BO), and rubber plantations (BR). The results found there were 271 individuals are included in 43 familys, 19 orders from 7 class i.e. Insecta, Chilopoda, Collembola, Clitellata, Malacostraca, Arachnida, and Diplopoda, with 2 phylum i.e. Arthropoda and Annelida. Secondary forest is an ecosystem that relatively stable with the value of diversity index H '= 2.50, index of richness DMg = 5.05, and index of evenness E = 0.81. General distribution pattern on the four ecosystems is uniform, with Id value <1. The high diversity of soil macro-fauna was related with soil fertility.

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.
