Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of this study to understand the effect of PGF2α injection in early diestrus phase and mid- diestrus to the estrous cycle. Treatment in this study are early diestrus control, mid- diestrus control, administration of PGF2α on early diestrus phase and administration of PGF2α in mid diestrus phase (each group n=3.) 1.5 ml Capriglandin® was injected once intramusculary. Then, phase change observed every day start one day since injection. Estrous phase were determined by observation vaginal smear cytology. Data were analyzed by Mann- Whitney method using Microsoft Excel software and SPSS 16.0 for Windows. There’s no significant difference in diestrus and proestrus length on injected group at early diestrus and control early diestrus group, onset estrous of injected group and control group respectively on day 15 and on day 16. The injected group at mid diestrus and control mid diestrus group have a significant difference at onset estrous and diestrus length but there is no significant difference in proestrus length, onset of estrous in the injection group and control group respectively on day 6.7 and on day 12 day (P < 0.05). It can be concluded that there is no response of single injection of PGF2α when injected at early diestrus, but when injected at mid- diestrus causes a shorter diestrus phase than the control respectively 2,3 and 8 days.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Hama tanaman mengakibatkan hasil produksi padi di Indonesia menurun. Untuk itu diperlukan suatu upaya pengendalian hama tanpa merusak kestabilan lingkungan yaitu dengan memanfaatkan blok refugia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui kelimpahan, diversitas, famili yang mendominasi pada lahan sawah dan blok refugia di setiap fase pertumbuhan padi serta untuk mengetahui efek blok refugia  terhadap hebivora di sawah Kepanjen. Metode koleksi data tentang kunjungan herbivora yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah visual control. Pada pelaksanaannya, pengamatan herbivora dilakukan pada 5 plot yang dibuat di sawah  dan 1 plot blok refugia di pematang sawah tersebut. Jarak pengamat dari plot sawah maupun blok refugia adalah 2 meter dan pengamatan tentang kunjungan herbivora dilakukan selama 15 menit untuk setiap plotnya. Pengamatan dilakukan 3 periode (pukul 08.00-10.00, 12.00-14.00, dan 15.00-17.00) untuk setiap fase pertumbuhan padi dan masing-masing diulang 2 kali. Pengukuran faktor abiotik meliputi suhu, kelembaban udara dan intensitas cahaya. Nilai penting dan indeks diversitas (Shannon-Wienner) dihitung untuk mengetahui analisis struktur komunitas herbivora. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan herbivora keseluruhan berjumlah 521 individu yang terdiri dari 5 ordo dengan 13 famili. Famili yang memiliki kelimpahan tertinggi di sawah maupun blok refugia yaitu Acrididae. Diversitas herbivora di sawah maupun blok refugia tergolong rendah hingga sedang. Diversitas herbivora tertinggi di sawah yaitu pada pukul 12.00-14.00 WIB sedangkan di blok refugia diversitas tertinggi terjadi pada pukul 08.00-10.00 WIB. Famili yang mendominasi di sawah maupun blok refugia yaitu Acrididae ditandai dengan tingginya INP.   Kata kunci: Herbivora, organik, pengendalian hayati, refugia   ABSTRACT Pests of plants causes  decreasing of rice production in Indonesia. That’s why it required an effort to control pests without harming the environment stability by using refugia. The objectives of this research were to know the abundance, diversity and family that dominate in the crops and in the refugia block in every stage of rice growth and to determine the effects of refugia block to the herbivore population in Kepanjen rice field. The method used to collect the information of herbivore visited both padi plots and refugia plots in this research was visual control. For those purposes, visual control were conducted on 5 plots in rice field and 1 plot in refugia plots. The distance of the observer to each plot was 2 meters and it were conducted for 15 minutes for each plot. Those observations were made in 3 period (08.00 to 10.00, 12.00 to 14.00, and 15.00 to 17.00) for every stage of rice growth and it were repeated 2 times. The measurement of abiotic factors include temperature, air relative humidity and light intensity. The analysis of herbivore community structure was obtained by counting the important value and Shannon–Wienner diversity index). Total abundance of herbivores was 521 individuals consist of 5 orders with 13 families. Families which had the highest abundance in the fields and refugia was Acrididae. Herbivore diversity in the fields and refugia was low to moderate. The highest of herbivore diversity in rice fields was at 12.00 to 14.00 pm while the highest diversity in refugia was at 8.00 to 10.00 pm. Families that dominate in the fields and refugia was Acrididae with high INP value.   Keywords : Biological control,  herbivore, organic, refugia

Abstract

Hypertension is a major health problem in the world. When blood volume is low, juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys secrete renin and prorenin activates the blood circulation. Plasma renin converts angiotensinogen released by the liver into angiotensin I, which is then converted to angiotensin II by the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) located in the pulmonary vascular endothelium. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in increased blood pressure. ACEi inhibit the formation of angiotensin I into angiotensin II, and activate Bradykinin (BK), which causes blood vessels to dilate, thereby reducing blood pressure. However, administration of ACEi periodically cause the accumulation of BK in pulmonary vessels that cause inflammation (cough) in some people who suspected mediated by Bradykinin B2 receptor (BK2R) gene. Total of the subjects in this study is 52 subjects, DNA extracted from white blood cells (leukocytes) as much as 200 mL from whole blood by using the QIAamp kit (Qiagen). Gene BK2R in humans amplified by the method of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method using the following primers F (5-GCAGAGCTCAGCTGGAGGCG-3), and R (5-CCTCCTCGGAGCCCAGAAG-3) and identified by the method of Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP). Results of this study shows three different genotypes there are CC, CT, and TT. Subjects with the CC genotype were most susceptible to cough, and subjects with CT genotype were least susceptible.   Keywords : ACE inhibitors, B2 Receptor, Cough, SSCP

Abstract

Degradation of  tropical forests in Indonesia is  known more widespread. The development of  societyactivities  is  known to be very fast, thus  it  causes  land degradation. An  effort  to make ecosystem reparation of the tropical forest through restoration becomes very important to be done. The success of these efforts cannot be separated from the local community factors. The purpose of this study  is  to determine rainforest woody plant species that are recognized, and utilized  also knowing the  public perceptions in tropical forest restoration. The method used is quantitative ethnobotany with estimatingthe significance of the plant based on the level of popularity  herbs known and frequently used by the society.  The data  were analyzed using the Relative Frequency of Citations (RFC) and Relative Importance (RI). There are thirtyfive plants that are mentioned by society. Eighteen species are woody plants. The highest value of RFC from the interview are pine (Casuarina junghuhniana) that the value is  1. It  is often  used to  fill the need  as a building material and firewood.  The  smallest value of  RFC is 0.07  randu bacin  (Pittosporum moluccanum).  It  is  caused of lacking knowledge of  the type  and the benefits of the plants. RI value or numbers of plants  that are most frequently mentioned is fir that is at 3.56.  Meanwhile,  the  smallest  value of  RI  is  randu bacin  (Pittosporum moluccanum)  of 0.31.  The society’s perception of woody plants is  quite well. The society  knows the benefits of forest plants and the  forest condition today.  The society’s  traditional knowledge in  benefitting  the  plants  is  to be hereditary. So that  society  makes  serious efforts  to  help  the activity of  forest restoration by planting vegetation. Keywords: degradation, forest, restoration, trees, utilization
