Judul: Analisis Kebutuhan Tenaga Teknis Stasiun Karantina Hewan Sukarno-Hatta Balai Karantina Kehewanan Wilayah Ii Pusat Karantina Pertanian Jakarta
Abstrak: Permasalahan yang dihadapi Balai Karantina adalah Tenaga Teknis yang ada di Stasiun Karantina Hewan Soekarno-Hatta dirasakan kurang bisa mendukung operasional yang optimal dilihat dari beban kegiatan. Hal tersebut ditunjukkan dari jumlah Tenaga Teknis dengan beban/volume kerja yang ada, maka perlu untuk menganalisis kebutuhan Tenaga Teknis yang ideal sehingga memadai/sesuai dan efisien dalam pelaksanaan tugas karantina. Analisis tersebut berdasarkan tingkat frekuensi lalulintas atau jumlah komoditi wajib periksa karantina kehewanan, mencari alternatif yang tersedia dalam rangka memenuhi kebijaksanaan organisasi, sehing- ga penggunaan tenaga teknis karantina hewan lebih berdayaguna dan berhasilguna. Metode yang digunakan dalam analisis ini yaitu kaji managemen (management audit) atas dasar terjadi ketidakseimbangan antara beban/volume kerja dan jumlah tenaga teknis. Dalam pengumpulan data/informasi menggunakan metode pengamatan dan wawancara (interview). Metoda pengamatan data dilakukan dengan studi literatur, petunjuk teknis, Undang Undang, Peraturan Pemerintah dan laporan, sedangkan metode wawancara dilakukan dengan tanya jawab kepada pengambil keputusan.

Judul: Studi Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Praktik Kesejahteraan Hewan dan Biosekuriti pada Petugas Instalasi Karantina Hewan Primata Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Soekarno Hatta
Abstrak: This study was conducted to analyze knowledges, attitudes and practices of installation personnels related to animal welfare and biosecurity to correlate knowledge, attitudes and practices of installation personnels to measure the level of animal welfare and biosecurity in animal quarantine installations. Data were collected from animal quarantine premises for exported primate (Macaca fasicularis). The level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of respondences measure by interviews and observation using the questionnaires and checklist. Data analyzed to determine associations between these variables using chi square and Gamma test. This research revealed that veterinarian knowledge correlated to their attitude with the level of correlation 0.694, and the care taker knowledge correlated to their attitude with the level of correlation 0.575. This study also noticed that the characteristics of respondents showed no correlation between animal welfare and biosecurity implementation, while the knowledge and attitude of veterinarians showed a strong correlation between animal welfare and biosecurity implementation with medium correlation level (r = 0.694). On the other hand the knowledge and attitude of care takers showed a strong correlation between the animal welfare and biosecurity with medium correlation level (r = 0.575). In conclusion most of the knowledge, attitude and practice of the veterinarians were verygood and knowledge, attitude and practice of the managers and care takers were good.

Judul: In Vitro Release of Ibuprofen from Microcapsules Coated Polyblend of Poly(lactic acid) and Poly(ε-caprolactone)
Abstrak: Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug that has a short biological half-life and imposes adverse gastrointestinal reaction. Microencapsulation could be used to minimize its disadvantages. In this experiment, microencapsulation of ibuprofen was done by emulsification method. Coating material which was used were polyblend of poly(lactic acid) and poly(ε-caprolactone) which are biodegradable and biocompatible. Polyvinylalcohol was used as an emulsifier at concentrations of 1.5%. The microencapsulation was carried out with various quantities of ibuprofen. The increase in quantities of ibuprofen would improve encapsulation efficiency. Encapsulation of ibuprofen showed an efficiency of more than 71% with the highest score of 84.13% in microcapsule with ratio of polyblend-ibuprofen 5:1.5. The dissolution test results in basic medium showed that the encapsulation efficiencies affected ibuprofen release from the microcapsule. Microcapsules with the higest encapsulation efficiency released ibuprofen ranged from 26.71 to 28.78% for 6 hours. Kinetic of ibuprofen release followed first order kinetic model. The microcapsules particle sizes ranged from 38 to 250 μm.
