Judul: Pengaruh Tingkat Kemasakan Benih Duabanga moluccana BI terhadap  Perilaku Perkecambahan dan Pertumbuhannya pada Media Tanah, Kompos dan Arang Sekam Padi di Persemaian
Abstrak: Kebutuhan ekonomi mendorong berkembangnya teknologi industri perkayuan, sehingga berpengaruh terhadap penyediaan bahan baku. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut maka Departemen Kehutanan merencanakan untuk membangun Hutan Tanaman Industri (HTI) dalam skala besar yaitu ditargetkan 4.6 juta ha sampai dengan tahun 2000, sehingga bahan baku dapat tersedia cukup dan berkesinambungan. Salah satu syarat untuk mengembangkan HTI adalah karakteristik tanaman yang digunakan harus sesuai, yaitu jenis cepat tumbuh, riap tinggi dan rotasi pendek.

Judul: Penggunaan Kompos Sampah Pasar dan Arang Sekam terhadap Pertumbuhan Bibit Cabutan Duabanga moluccana Blume
Abstrak: Duabanga moluccana merupakan jenis pionir cepat tumbuh dan memiliki prospek untuk dikembangkan dalam hutan tanaman. Namun terdapat permasalahan dalam perbanyakannya dengan benih, seperti kecambah mudah terserang penyakit lodoh dan pertumbuhan kecambah yang sangat lama. Pengadaan bibit masih banyak menggunakan topsoil sebagai media tumbuh yang dikhawatirkan merusak lingkungan karena jumlahnya terbatas, untuk itu perlu dicari solusi dengan menggunakan subsoil yang diperkaya dengan nutrisi dari bahan organik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan kompos sampah pasar dan arang sekam terhadap kualitas bibit cabutan D. moluccana. Bibit D. moluccana ditanam dalam empat perlakuan media tumbuh, yaitu subsoil (P0), subsoil : kompos (4:1, v/v) (P1), subsoil : kompos : arang sekam (3:1:1, v/v/v) (P2), subsoil : kompos : arang sekam (2:1:2, v/v/v) (P3). Hasil penelitian selama tiga bulan menunjukkan bahwa media dengan penambahan kompos dan arang sekam mampu meningkatkan kualitas bibit D. moluccana asal cabutan alam dengan baik. Media P2 menghasilkan bibit dengan pertumbuhan terbaik, yaitu tinggi (26.60 cm), diameter (4.60 mm), berat kering total (18.80 g), dan memiliki nilai indeks mutu bibit terbaik (30 poin)., Duabanga moluccana is a fast-growing pioneer species and has the prospect of being developed in plantation forests. However, there are some problems in propagation by seeds, such as susceptible to dumping off and the germinates grow slowly. Seedling productions are still using topsoil as a growing media which is feared to damage the environment due to its limited number. Therefore, it is necessary to use the subsoils enriched with nutrients from organic materials. This study aims to determine the effect of market waste compost and rice husk charcoal on the quality of D. moluccana wildings. D. moluccana seedlings were planted in four growing media treatments, namely subsoil (P0), subsoil : compost (4:1, v/v) (P1), subsoil : compost : rice husk charcoal (3:1:1, v/v/v) (P2), subsoil : compost : rice husk charcoal (2:1:2, v/v/v) (P3). The results of the three-month study showed that the media with the addition of compost and husk charcoal was able to improve the quality of D. moluccana seedlings. P2 media produced the best seedling growth on height (26.60 cm), diameter (4.60 mm), total dry weight (18.80 grams), and had the best seedling quality index value (30 points).

Judul: Studi Kasus Liver Neoplasia pada Anjing Shih Tzu
Abstrak: Liver neoplasia is the excessive and uncontrolled replication of hepatocytes that forms nodules visible in ultrasonography. The purpose of this study is to study and discuss the characteristic, diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasm through the interpretation of ultrasonography and hematology in a Shih Tzu dog. Ultrasonography is conducted with a Chison Q8 ultrasound machine with a 5 to 7 MHz frequency convex probe on lateral recumbency. The blood cells, liver enzymes and nodules sizes were the main parameters in this study. The results in the period of three years from 2021 to 2023 were interpreted and supported with secondary data sources. The Shih Tzu dog is 14 years old in the year 2023 with a body weight of 5.21kg. No obvious clinical signs were observed during previous examinations. However, lethargy, vomiting and anorexia were recorded in its latest examination. Thrombocytosis, granulocytosis, high liver enzymes and hypoglycemia, which are some of the neoplastic clinical manifestations were also presented by this patient. Besides, liver neoplasm, spleen neoplasm and biliary sludge were the sonogram findings of this patient. The liver and spleen neoplasm was observed stable, while the biliary sludge volume fluctuated. The treatment strategy recorded is Ondansetron, Samylin®, Ornipural and Ursodeoxycholic acid.
