Judul: Soil Aggregate Stability in Pineapple PT GGP After Eleven Months of Weather Resistant Organic Material
Application
Abstrak: Long-term intensive land management practiced causes to decrease soil quality and productivity in PT. Great Giant Pineapple (GGP) plantation as indicated by reducing soil organic matter and soil compaction. One of the efforts to overcome soil compaction is through the application of organic matter (OM). Conventional OM application is limited due to its relatively short residence time. Applying of OM in the middle of the crop season is difficult due to the densely plant population. The use of bromelain extraction waste (BEW) and chopped bamboo (CB) as resistant OM (ROM) is expected to be an alternative soil conditioner to improve soil physical properties. The research aims to identify the effects of applying BEW and CB on soil aggregate stability after 11 months of application. The research was conducted at location 88 C2 in PT. GGP in Central Lampung, using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a single factor, which is the application of ROM. After 11 months of application, the experimental plot with CB application showed a more stable soil aggregate stability index (SASI) compared to the plot with BEW application at doses of 60 and 80 tons per hectare. There is an indication of a decrease in SASI after 11 months of applying ROM compared to observations in the 5th month of application.

Judul: Permeability and Shear Strength of PT GGP Pineapple Land after Eleven Months of Resistant Organic Matter Application
Abstrak: Penurunan produktivitas pertanian pada umumnya disebabkan oleh penurunan kualitas tanah akibat penggunaan terus-menerus. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada lahan PT Great Giant Pineapple (GGP) yang mengalami penurunan produktivitas buah nanas seiring terjadinya penurunan kualitas tanah. Penurunan kualitas tanah terjadi karena rendahnya pemberian bahan organik yang sesuai dengan usia tanaman nanas, sehingga mengakibatkan pemadatan tanah. Dalam penelitian ini, limbah ekstraksi bromelain dan bambu cacah dipilih sebagai sumber bahan organik tahan lapuk karena mampu mempertahankan residence time pada pengaplikasian nya di lahan. Tujuan penelitian adalah menguji pengaruh bahan organik tahan lapuk setelah 11 bulan aplikasi terhadap permeabilitas dan kuat geser tanah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) di lokasi lahan 88 C2, PT GGP, Lampung Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan limbah ekstraksi bromelain menghasilkan nilai laju permeabilitas yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan perlakuan bambu cacah. Laju permeabilitas pada kedua perlakuan mengalami penurunan setelah 11 bulan aplikasi bahan organik dibandingkan dengan setelah aplikasi 5 bulan. Nilai Kekuatan geser tanah meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia tanaman pada bulan 11, terutama pada kedalaman 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, dan 20-30 cm. Pemberian dosis bahan organik yang lebih tinggi memberikan perbaikan sifat fisik tanah yang lebih baik., The decline in agricultural productivity is generally caused by a decrease in soil quality due to continuous use. This research was conducted on PT Great Giant Pineapple (GGP)’s land which experienced a decrease in pineapple productivity along with a decrease in soil physical quality. The decline in soil quality occurred due to the low provision of organic matter in accordance with the age of pineapple plants, resulting in soil compaction. In this study, bromelain extraction waste and chopped bamboo were chosen as a source of resistant organic matter since they are able to maintain quite long residence time in land after application. The research objective was to examine the effect of resistant organic matter after 11 months of application on permeability and soil shear strength. The research was held based on Randomized Block Design (RBD) at the location of 88 C2 land of PT GGP, Central Lampung. The results showed that the bromelain extraction waste treatment produced a lower permeability rate than the chopped bamboo treatment. The permeability rate in both treatments decreased after 11 months of organic matter application compared to the 5 months of application. Soil shear strength values increased with plant age of month 11, especially at depths of 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm. Application of higher doses of resistant organic matter provided better improvements in soil physical properties.

Judul: Beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi ruang dada kancil
Abstrak: Telah dilakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan 10 ekor kancil dewasa jantan dan betina dengan tujuan untuk menge- tahui beberapa aspek anatomi alat sirkulasi di dalam ruang dada, meliputi jantung, pembuluh darah yang keluar dan ma- suk jantung serta ukuran-ukuran jantung. Kancil merupakan ruminansia terkecil di dunia, hidup di daerah tropika India, Thailand, Malaysia dan Indonesia bagian barat. Hewan ini dilindungi dan mempunyai prospek yang baik untuk hewan penelitian maupun dibudidayakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berat jantung rаta-rata adalah 0.69% dari berat rata-rata kancil. Dan ini mirip pada jantung kuda dan anjing. Bentuk jantung lonjong seperti halnya ruminansia. Demikian pula letaknya di dalam ruang dada seperti pada ruminansia dengan adanya Ligamentum sternopericardiacum. Di dalam ventrikel kanan membersit sebuah Musculus (M.) papillaris dari dindingnya dan tiga sampai empat Musculi (Mm.) papillares dari Septum interventriculare. Hanya dua buah Mm. papillares yang berukuran besar dibersitkan dari dinding ventrikel kiri. Percabangan Arteri (A.) coronaria sinistra lebih dominan dari pada A. coronaria dextra. Sedangkan A. sub clavia sinistra dicabangkan langsung dari aorta di dorso- caudal pembersitan Truncus (Tr.) brachiocephalicus…
