Abstrak: This paper describes the establishment of ecotourism area planning using spatial approach in Selat Dampier Conservation Area of Raja Ampat West Papua Province. This area include in development nodal integrated tourism, sea protectorate area and multipurpose protected area. This research was carried out using both quantitative descriptive and quantitative spatial methods to assess land suitability for tourism activities; avaiability object and attraction; and acceptability and opportunity empowerment local community (indepth interview). Variables using GIS integration of those, producted utilization of coastal ecotourism zone and interpretative tracking. The research results show that Friwen and Arborek Islands are suitable for development of coastal recreation and snorkeling. However, mangrove ecotourism can be performed only in Arborek Island. Local community as well highly supports the ecotourism area development and activities that may increase the economic income. Based on potency of ecological suitability, community acceptability and opportunity empowerment of local community, intensive and semi intensive zone are provided. Arborek Island has intensive zone area wider than Friwen Island. Intensive zone of those two island can be developed as interpretation tracking which may educated tourists.

Judul: Ecotourism Development Strategy in the Dampier Strait Marine Conservation Area Southwest Papua Province
Abstrak: The Dampier Strait regional conservation area is one of the conservation areas included in the Raja Ampat Regency marine conservation area, which has high potential for developing tourism activities. The most important aspect in the use of natural resources for tourism purposes is their suitability to support tourism activities. The challenge faced is the difficulty if the potential for beach tourism, snorkeling and diving to be developed simultaneously The aim of this research is to determine areas for ecotourism and recommend appropriate locations. Data analysis is determining ecotourism areas using the Technique For Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). TOPSIS is used because it is able to rank the selected alternatives that are closest to the positive ideal and furthest from the negative ideal solution. The criteria used are tourist carrying capacity, accommodation, accessibility, number of international tourists, number of domestic tourists and suitability area. The results of this TOPSIS analysis are that Sauwandarek, Marandanweser and Arborek are areas that can be used as an alternative areas for carrying out beach tourism, snorkeling and diving activities. Areas that can be developed into ecotourism activities are Yeben Kecil and Tanjung Putus., The Dampier Strait Regional Marine Conservation Area (KKPD) is one of the conservation areas included in the Raja Ampat Regency Marine Conservation Area which has high potential for developing ecotourism activities. The most important aspect of the use of natural resources for ecotourism purposes is the suitability that supports ecotourism activities. The challenge faced is the difficulty if the potential for beach tourism, snorkeling and diving are to be developed simultaneously. Therefore, it is important to have an ecotourism development strategy in conservation areas. This research aims to evaluate the suitability and carrying capacity, determine alternative areas for ecotourism activities, and formulate ecotourism management strategies in the Dampier Strait. The research was carried out in September 2021 in several areas in the Dampier Strait, namely Yeben Besar, Yeben Kecil, Tanjung Putus, Arborek, Friwen, Sauwandarek, Waiweser, Yenbekwan, Marandanweser, Yef Adoak, and Dayan. Activities carried out include collecting data on the suitability of beach tourism, snorkeling, and diving, as well as direct observations to determine alternative tourism areas and ecotourism management strategies. The research results show that not all research areas can be used for beach, snorkeling and coastal tourism activities. Dayan is very suitable for beach tourism, snorkeling and diving, because the area has suitable values for the three ecotourism activities. However, it is also necessary to know the carrying capacity of each region, so that the visitor capacity does not exceed the carrying capacity of the region. Based on calculations of carrying capacity for beach activities, snorkeling and diving, it shows that many visitors can carry out tourist activities in the area. The largest beach carrying capacity is at Sauwandarek at 68,976 visitors/year, the largest snorkeling capacity is at Waiweser at 2,712 visitors/year, and the largest diving carrying capacity is at Dayan at 190 visitors/year. Alternative areas obtained through the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) analysis are Sauwandarek, Marandanweser, and Arborek. The main strategy that

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.
