Judul: Identification and Sensitivity Test of Salmonella sp. Bacteria in Horses (Equus caballus) to Several Antibiotics.
Abstrak: Kuda memainkan peran yang semakin penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Sistem pencernaan kuda mengandung berbagai jenis bakteri, seperti Salmonella sp. , dan dianggap sebagai salah satu penyebab utama penyakit zoonosis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi bakteri Salmonella sp. dalam tinja kuda, serta menguji sensitivitas bakteri Salmonella sp. terhadap beberapa antibiotik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan terdiri dari koleksi 20 sampel, isolasi dan identifikasi bakteri, serta pengujian sensitivitas bakteri terhadap antibiotik menggunakan metode difusi cakram atau metode Kirby Bauer. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan bahwa 9 isolat Salmonella sp. ditemukan dari 20 sampel tinja kuda. Hasil uji sensitivitas bakteri Salmonella terhadap antibiotik yang digunakan menunjukkan bahwa 89% isolat sensitif terhadap gentamisin dan kloramfenikol, 55% terhadap asam nalidiksik, 44% terhadap amoksisilin dan oksitetrasiklin. Hasil intermediat ditemukan untuk beberapa jenis antibiotik seperti amoksisilin (22%), oksitetrasiklin (11%), asam nalidiksik (22%), dan kloramfenikol (11%), sedangkan Salmonella menunjukkan resistansi 100% terhadap sefotaksim. Penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa Salmonella sp. yang terdeteksi dalam tinja kuda menunjukkan resistansi terhadap sefotaksim namun masih sensitif terhadap amoksisilin, gentamisin, asam nalidiksik, oksitetrasiklin, dan kloramfenikol., Horses play an increasingly important role in human life. The digestive system of horses contains various types of bacteria, such as Salmonella sp. and is considered one of the main causes of zoonotic diseases. The aim of this study was to isolat and identify Salmonella sp. bacteria in horse feces, as well as to test the sensitivity of Salmonella sp. bacteria to several antibiotics. The research method used consisted of collecting 20 samples, isolating and identifying the bacteria, and testing the sensitivity of the bacteria to antibiotics using the disk diffusion or Kirby Bauer method. The identification results showed that 9 isolats of Salmonella sp. were found out of 20 horse feces samples. The results of the bacterial sensitivity test on horses to the antibiotics used showed that 89% of the isolats were sensitive to gentamicin and chloramphenicol, 55% to nalidixic acid, 44% to amoxicillin and oxytetracycline. Intermediate results were found for some types of antibiotics such as amoxicillin (22%), oxytetracycline (11%), nalidixic acid (22%), and chloramphenicol (11%), while Salmonella showed 100% resistance to cefotaxime. This study can be concluded that Salmonella sp. detected in horse feces has shown resistance to cefotaxime but is still sensitive to amoxicillin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, oxytetracycline, and chloramphenicol

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
