Judul: Design Of stbilizing pro-farmer controls of rice field conversion at special zones in Central Jawa Province
Abstrak: The Special Zone (Kawasan Andalan) in Central Java Province that was intended to accelerate the process of economic growth has caused the conversion of rice fields. There are worries that this phenomena will disturb the food selfsufficiency of the zone, and in the end this will disturb self-sufficiency and food sufficiency throughout Indonesia. Because of these risks, research on this subject is needed. Research has the goals to: 1) Analyze the rate of rice field conversion in the Special Zone, 2) Analyze the influence of rice field conversion and other variables on the availability of rice and the transformation of farmers’ livelihoods in the Special Zone, 3) Analyze the influence of land rents, the dependency on farm labor, the age and education of heads of households, as well as the behavior of farmers towards rice field conversion in the Special Zone, 4) Design a profarmer way to control the converstion of rice fields in the Special Zone. The results of this research indicate that: 1) Rice field conversion from 1991 to 2006 was in the amount of 63,892.60 Ha. The rate of rice field conversion was 4,259.51 Ha per year (0.82% per year). 2) The conversion of rice fields had a negative impact towards rice sufficiency in the zone, while the contribution of the agricultural sector to the Regional Gross Domestic Product and the growth of the economy had a positive influence on the availability of rice in the zone. The converstion of rice fields and economic growth both had a positive influence on the transformation of livelihoods, while the agricultural sector of the Regional Gross Domestic Product had a negative influence on livelihood transformations. 3) Land rent, dependency on farm labor, the age and education of heads of households all had a negative influence on land conversion. The behavior of farmers who converted rice fields was directly influenced by motivation and attitude. Variables related to abilities, level of information about rice field conversion, cultural orientation, and perceptions all had indirect influences on the behavior of farmers in converting rice fields. 4) The control of rice field conversion that gives priority to poor families in the Special Zone of Central Java Province will be successful if the farmers receive several guarantees, including: a) availability of water for farming, b) a market for their rice, c) inexpensive and easy-to-obtain farming inputs, d) free property taxes on rice land, e) consolidated rice field management, f) changes in farmer behavior, g) an increase in non-farm income, and h) diversification to foods other than rice

Judul: Model for sustainable protection paddy fields and rice sufficiency in the Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province
Abstrak: Rice is a staple food for almost all the population in Indonesia and is a basic necessity for human life. Therefore, the State is essential to ensure its availability, affordability, and the adequate and quality fulfillment of food consumption evenly across all regions. Paddy fields are a crucial factor in rice production. Allowing continuous conversion of paddy fields in the long term poses a threat to efforts to meet rice sufficiency. The main objective of this research is to develop the model for sustainable protection of paddy fields and domestic rice sufficiency in Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, with the following sub-objectives: 1) analyzing the dynamics of paddy field changes and trends in conversion, 2) evaluating the suitability classes of paddy fields for rice cultivation, 3) analyzing important variables and influential actors in the protection of paddy fields and sufficiency, 4) constructing a dynamic model and formulating policies for the protection of paddy fields and domestic rice sufficiency in Banyumas Regency. The research was conducted using a combination of several methods (mixed methods). Primary and/or secondary data were collected through various techniques, including literature review, desk analysis, in-depth discussions (in-depth interviews), internet downloads, and field observations. Respondents consisted of stakeholders and/or experts, namely: the Regent, Chair of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), Head of relevant agencies or assigned staff, Agrarian Spatial Planning and National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Academicians, Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL), Village Officials, farmer groups, farmers, settlement developers, fertilizer agents, and rice traders. The data analysis technique were adjusted to the research objectives. Changes in paddy field land use from 2007 to 2019 and their predictions for 2031 and 2045 were carried out through visual interpretation of SPOT image recordings in 2007, 2014, and 2019 using ArcGIS 10.8.2 and the Landuse Change Modeler (LCM) in the TerrSet software. The evaluation of land suitability classes was performed by a matching system between land characteristics and the requirements for growing rice crops. Important variables and the relationships between variables were analyzed using the Micmac method. Important actors and their involvement in paddy fields protection were analyzed using the Mactor method. The dynamic model for the protection of paddy fields and domestic rice sufficiency was developed by constructing a stock flow diagram (SFD) structure. The conversion of paddy fields into non-paddy fields in Banyumas Regency from 2007 to 2019 reached an area of approximately 1,231 ha (3.87%), with an average annual decrease rate of 102.6 ha/year and a potential loss of rice production of about 1,189 tons of harvested dry paddy per year. In 2045, it is estimated that the paddy field area in Banyumas Regency will be 29,160 ha, with a decrease rate from 2019 to 2045 covering an area of 1,384 ha (4.53%). The evaluation of land suitability classes for rice cultivation in Banyumas Regency indicates that the actual suitability of paddy fields consists of very suitable class (S1) at 52%, moderately suitable (S2) at 10%, marginally suitable (S3) at 38%, and not suitable (N) at 0.05%. The limiting factors encountered include soil pH, base saturation, and soil drainage. Several important

Judul: Studi Kasus: Patomorfologi Trakheobronkhitis Supurativa Pada Kucing (Felis Catus).
Abstrak: Trakheobronkhitis merupakan penyakit saluran respirasi yang sering terjadi pada hewan kecil, terutama anjing dan kucing. Penelitian berupa studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari patomorfologi trakheobronkhitis supurativa pada kucing. Perubahan patologi anatomi berupa eksudat purulen pada lumen trakhea dan warna paru-paru yang tidak homogen, warna lebih gelap pada salah satu lobus, dan permukaan paru-paru lebih menonjol. Perubahan histopatologi berupa badan inklusi amfofilik-eosinofilik intranuklear yang dikelilingi oleh clear halo dan titik-titik kromatin ditepinya pada epitel kelenjar trakhea dan epitel bronkhiolus. Badan inklusi ini merupakan ciri dari FHV-1 dan adenovirus. Pada trakhea juga ditemukan koloni bakteri berbentuk coccobacillus sebagai infeksi sekunder. Bakteri tersebut diduga Bordetella sp. yang sering menginfeksi saluran respirasi kucing. Deskuamasi terjadi pada epitel trakhea dan bronkhiolus. Selain itu, ditemukan juga sel radang limfosit, makrofag, sel plasma, dan neutrofil. Pada paru-paru ditemukan lesio bronkhiolitis. Ditemukan juga bronkhopneumonia yang ditandai infiltrasi sel radang neutrofil dan sel nekrosis pada lumen bronkhiolus. Paru-paru juga mengalami emfisema dan edema pulmonum. Hiperemia dan hemoragi juga ditemukan pada kapiler paru-paru. Pada kasus ini, trakheobronkhitis supurativa diduga disebabkan oleh FHV-1, adenovirus, dan bakteri jenis Bordetella sp.
