Judul: Analisis Pengaruh Infrastruktur terhadap Ketimpangan Pembangunan Ekonomi Wilayah di Provinsi Aceh
Abstrak: Pembangunan infrastruktur merupakan aspek penting dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi. Pembangunan infrastruktur yang baik akan menjamin efisiensi, memperlancar pergerakan barang dan jasa, dan meningkatkan nilai tambah perekonomian, dan juga sebagai faktor pendorong produktivitas daerah. Tujuan utama pembangunan ekonomi wilayah adalah untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu wilayah dan juga melakukan pertumbuhan yang merata antar wilayah sehingga tumbuh dan berkembang secara bersama dan merata. Dalam mengatasi atau mengurangi ketimpangan pembangunan wilayah dapat dilakukan dengan menyediakan sarana dan prasarana infrastruktur yang merata. Hal ini akan menyebabkan timbulnya titik tumbuh pertumbuhan ekonomi baru, sehingga wilayah-wilayah lain akan ikut tumbuh dan berkembang secara bersamaan sesuai dengan potensi wilayah masing-masing. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat ketimpangan antar wilayah, mengidentifikasi ketersediaan infrastruktur di setiap Kabupaten/kota serta menganalisis pengaruh ketersediaan infrastruktur terhadap ketimpangan wilayah di Provinsi Aceh. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Indeks Williamson, Skalogram dan Data Panel. Hasil penelitian dengan perhitungan Indeks Williamson menunjukkan bahwa tingkat ketimpangan wilayah di Provinsi Aceh selama kurun waktu 5 tahun mengalami tren menurun, sejak tahun 2011 nilai indeks sebesar 0,46 turun menjadi 0,40 pada tahun 2015, terjadi perubahan nilai indeks sebesar -0,05. Ratarata nilai Indeks Williamson sejak tahun 2011 sampai dengan 2015 adalah 0,43. Berdasarkan hasil analisis skalogram terdapat dua kabupaten yang memenuhi hirarki I yaitu Kabupaten Pidie dan Kabupaten Aceh Barat Daya. Pada hirarki II terdapat 11 kabupaten/kota yaitu Kota Banda Aceh, Kabupaten Aceh Besar, Kabupaten Pidie Jaya, Kabupaten Bireuen, Kabupaten Aceh Utara, Kabupaten Aceh Timur, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, Kota Sabang, Kabupaten Aceh Jaya, Kabupaten Aceh Selatan, dan Kabupaten Gayo Lues. Hirarki III terdapat sepuluh kabupaten/kota di Aceh yaitu Kota Lhokseumawe, Kota Langsa, Kabupaten Aceh Barat, Kabupaten Nagan Raya, Kota Subussalam, Kabupaten Aceh Singkil, Kabupaten Simeulue, Kabupaten Bener Meriah, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah dan Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara. Hasil estimasi Data Panel menunjukkan bahwa secara statistik variabel yang signifikan dapat mempengaruhi ketimpangan pembangunan ekonomi wilayah di Provinsi Aceh adalah variabel listrik dan variabel pendidikan, sedangkan variabel yang tidak berpengaruh signifikan adalah jalan dan variabel kesehatan. Variabel yang berpengaruh negatif adalah jalan, listrik dan pendidikan, sedangkan variabel kesehatan berpengaruh positif terhadap ketimpangan pembangunan ekonomi wilayah di Provinsi Aceh.

Judul: Ketimpangan Regional Pembangunan Infrastruktur dan Ekonomi Provinsi Aceh: Analisis Antar Provinsi
Abstrak: Inequality is not a new problem in Indonesia, as it is in Aceh Province. The availability of different infrastructure in each city and district is one physical example of the imbalance itself because the availability of infrastructure is also a determining factor for the economic growth of each region. In fact, this province receives a special grant from the central government where the funds are specifically for infrastructure development and economic growth. However, the real condition of the province's poverty rate and the highest unemployment rate in the island of Sumatra negates all the privileged benefits of the aid funds that have been allocated for years. Therefore, these infrastructure facilities are very important when considering the conditions of economic growth to be achieved for each region with the ultimate goal of more equitable growth. On the other hand, infrastructure also has an indirect impact on GDP / capita, poverty level and also the total unemployment rate in Aceh Province. In fact, several cities and districts have very high unemployment rates and very low economic growth rates, indicated by the low GDP growth rates of each city and district. On the other hand, the availability of facilities and infrastructure is also a major factor in hampering the progress of economic activity in each region. Hence, this study provides empirical findings regarding disparities between regions in infrastructure in 23 cities / districts in Aceh Province and the impact of these regional disparities on the economy of Aceh Province, particularly economic growth, poverty and unemployment. The unit of analysis is the district level where the Infrastructure Development Index (IDI) is analyzed using the multivariate method to measure the level of availability of facilities. The IDI calculation is based on the nine infrastructure or facilities available in Aceh Province. Furthermore, the level of disparity in infrastructure between regions is analyzed using the coefficient of variation. The effect of IDI on the provincial economy was analyzed using an econometric model. The results of the analysis based on the IDI show that in the 2015- 2019 period, in general the level of infrastructure availability in each district / city was relatively high / low with the average IDI value tending to increase from 0.591 in 2015 to 0.612 and in 2019 the highest IDI score. is 0.807 (Sabang City) and the lowest value is 0.152 (Langsa City). However, based on the analysis of the coefficient of variation in the disparity in the level of infrastructure availability between relatively small areas, it is less than 0.3 and tends to decline. Based on the results of the regression analysis, it shows that the level of infrastructure availability, IDI in general affects the economic conditions of Aceh Province and specifically there are different types of infrastructure that affect each economic condition (economic growth, unemployment and poverty). Of the nine infrastructure variables, only three variables can reduce poverty, namely electricity, roads and hotels infrastructure; only one variable can reduce unemployment, namely road infrastructure and there are three variables that increase economic growth, namely rural electricity infrastructure, hotels and banks.

Judul: Case Study of Gallbladder Mucocele and Treatment Used In Small Animals
Abstrak: Gallbladder mucocele (GM) is defined as distention of the gallbladder caused by an inappropriate accumulation or deposition of high concentrations of bile. The purpose of this case study is to study GM conditions in small animals and to report the clinical sign and characteristics of GM through the sonogram interpretation and blood chemistry test evaluation, and studies related to the therapy given and other treatments recommended. A 14-year-old Toy Poodle dog has been diagnosed with severe GM and cholecystitis. No pain signs were shown during the physical examination as asymptomatic is a common characteristic in the early stage of biliary related diseases. In this study Abdominal ultrasonography interpretation and blood chemistry evaluation was conducted in 2021-2022 and analyzed as a secondary data source. Ultrasonography results showed presence of hyperechoic, immobile deposits in gallbladder accompanied by wall thickening and enlarged in size, followed by a significant increase in the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP). This study has summarized mainly the diagnosis and treatments of GM in small animals and suitable alternatives treatments were recommended to encounter the GM conditions in small animals. The effectiveness of combined therapy shows the positive impact on the patient, the condition of GM has been under control.
