Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian tepung tulang ikan bandeng (Chanos chanos) yang dikeringbekukan menggunakan freeze-dry terhadap kadar testosteron pada otot pectoralis, bobot otot pectoralis, dan lingkar dada pada ayam bangkok (Gallus gallus domesticus). Penelitian ini menggunakan 10 ekor ayam bangkok jantan dengan umur 3-4 bulan yang terbagi menjadi dua kelompok perlakuan yaitu P0 (kontrol) dan P1 (tepung tulang ikan bandeng sebanyak 3,3 g/ekor/hari). Sebelum dilakukan penelitian dilakukan aklimatisasi selama 7 hari dan tepung tulang bandeng yang sudah dicampurkan dengan pakan diberikan setiap hari secara oral selama 35 hari. Pengukuran lingkar dada ayam bangkok dilakukan pada hari ke 7, 14, 21, 28, dan 35. Pada akhir penelitian ayam dinekropsi, kemudian dilakukan penimbangan otot pectoralis dan sampel homogenat otot pectoralis disentrifugasi dingin. Selanjutnya supernatan dikoleksi dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) untuk mengetahui kadar testosteron pada otot pectoralis. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis menggunakan independent sample T-Test dengan bantuan SPPS versi 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (Sig. (2-tailed) < 0,05) pada kadar hormon testosteron otot pectoralis, bobot otot pectoralis dan lingkar dada ayam bangkok. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian tepung tulang ikan bandeng dengan metode freeze-dry dengan dosis 3,3 g/ekor/hari secara oral selama 35 hari dapat meningkatkan kadar testosteron pada otot pectoralis, bobot otot pectoralis dan lingkar dada pada ayam bangkok.

Alternating Current‐Electric Field (AC‐EF) generated by non‐contact Electro Capacitive Cancer Therapy (ECCT) can inhibit breast tumor growth. However, its effect on breast tumor angiogenesis remains unclear. Since angiogenesis is involved in normal physiology and tumors, it is crucial to investigate the effect of ECCT on normal and breast tumor angiogenesis. Samples consisting of rat breast normal tissue and breast tumors were obtained from the biobank, with tumors induced by 7,12‐dimethylbenz (α) anthracene (DMBA) at 20 mg/kg BW 10 times over five weeks. Meanwhile, ECCT exposure of 150 kHz and 18 Vpp was conducted for 21 days at 10 hours/day. The qPCR method was used for gene expression analysis, while immunohistochemistry used antibody anti‐Vegfr2 that was used to detect Vegfr2 protein expression. Data were analyzed using one‐way ANOVA and t‐tests performed with GraphPad Prism ver.9.5.1 software. The results revealed no impact of ECCT exposure on normal breast tissue angiogenesis. Interestingly, there was a significant increase in the number of blood vessels following the upregulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor‐2 (Vegfr2) as opposed to its primary signal, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor‐A (Vegfa). Furthermore, gene expression of Hypoxia Inducible Factor‐1α (Hif1α) and Specificity Protein‐1 (Sp1) was similar to that of the control group, suggesting that Vegfr2‐dependent angiogenesis regulates ECCT‐treated breast tumor angiogenesis.

Background: Dental caries is an oral cavity disease that affects most Indonesians. Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) is one of the bacteria that causes dental caries. Control of bacteria in the form of antibacterial agents is needed to suppress the growth of L. acidophilus. Purple leaves (Graptophyllum pictum L. Griff) are a medicinal plant with antibacterial compounds, namely flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. Purpose: Determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of purple leaves extract on the growth of L. acidophilus. Method: The sample consisted of seven groups, including positive control (chlorhexidine 0.2%), negative control (BHI-B), and purple leaves extract with concentrations of 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.12%, and 1.56%. The antibacterial activity of purple leaves extract was carried out quantitatively using a spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 600 nm. After that, it was incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, followed by absorbance measurement. The absorbance results were then analyzed using the Paired T-Test (before and after incubation). Result: Purple leaves extract concentrations of 6.25%, 12.5%, and 25% had an inhibitory effect on L. acidophillus. Conclusion: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of purple leaves extract on the growth of L. acidophilus was 6.25%

The use of artificial intelligence can increase productivity and efficiency in various sectors of life. However, it can also potentially cause legal problems especially criminal law if they result in losses. The subject of law in determining who should be responsible is a separate issue. This research examines whether technology using artificial intelligence can be used as the subject of criminal law so that criminal responsibility can be held. This research is normative juridical research with a statutory, conceptual approach and cases related to artificial intelligence and criminal law issues. The study shows that the ability to analyze and make decisions possesed by artificial intelligence can be indicated as "malicious intent". Yet, the concept of punishment for the artificial intelligence system requires a unique formula, as the personality of artificial intelligence cannot be equated with the personality of a human or legal entity. The granting of legal status through a criminal sanction mechanism in the form of machine deactivation, reprogramming, and the severity of destroying machines is expected to provide future solutions to minimize the risk of criminal acts by artificial intelligence.

Background and Aim: Pelung cockerels (Gallus gallus gallusGallus gallus gallus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are different from other native cockerels in that they have a long and unique voice, in addition to their tall, large, and sturdy body with a relatively heavy body weight (BW). The sound quality of pelung cockerels is affected by the structure of the syrinx and their large and strong chest muscles. The performance of the chest muscles, and subsequently its voice, is influenced by the hormone testosterone. The shell of blood clams (Anadara granosa Linnaeus, 1758), a saltwater bivalve is known to contain a natural aromatase blocker (NAB) capable of blocking the aromatase enzyme from converting testosterone to estradiol. This generates consistently high levels of testosterone. This study aimed to determine the effect of blood clam shell powder (BCSP) as an NAB on the growth, pectoralis muscle performance, and testes of pelung cockerels. Materials and Methods: The study design was a completely randomized design, with 16 pelung cockerels aged 40–56 weeks divided into four treatment groups: T0 (control); T1 (BCSP [A. granosa] 0.9 mg/kg BW); T2 (zinc sulfate [ZnSO4] 0.9 mg/kg BW); and T3 (testosterone 3 mg/day). The animals were acclimatized for 7 days and then given dietary treatments for 56 days. The measurement of the comb, wattle, and chest circumference (CC) of pelung cockerels was performed on days 0, 14, 28, 42, and 56. At the end of the treatment, the pelung cockerels were sacrificed and the data of the pectoralis muscle weight (PMW), testis weight (TW), and area of the pectoralis muscle (APM) were measured. Samples of pectoralis muscle and testes were taken and fixed in 10% neutral buffer formalin for histology. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was identified by immunohistochemical staining. To measure fascicle area (FA), myofiber area (MA), and enumerate, the fascicle myofibers (NM) histology preparations were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H and E). Testicular preparations were stained with H and E to measure the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (DST) using ImageJ software. Results: The growth performance on day 56 showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher differences of CC in T1 compared to T2 and T0, in T1 and T3 compared to T0, and in T3 and T2 compared to T0. Pectoralis muscle results, that is, FA, NM, MA, and PCNA-positive cells, showed that cockerels on treatment T3 had significantly higher results than other treatments, T1 was significantly different from T2 and T0, and T2 was significantly different from T0. In addition, the TW and DST measurement of cockerels on treatment T3 were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) than the other treatment groups. Conclusion: The oral administration of BCSP in the role of a NAB at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg BW for 56 days improved the growth performance and pectoralis muscle, especially the CC, FA, NM, MA, and PCNA-positive cells parameters, but did not affect the PMW, APM, and testis of pelung cockerels. The administration of testosterone at 3 mg/day for 56 days contributed to the decrease in TW and DST, as well as atrophy of the seminiferous tubules of pelung cockerels.

Background and Aim: Pelung chickens make unique, pleasant, and rhythmic sounds in addition to having strong muscle mass. Performance is controlled by testosterone. A natural aromatase blocker is an agent capable of blocking the aromatase enzyme, which consequently prevents testosterone from being changed into estradiol. Such a condition results in consistently high testosterone levels. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the administration of the shell powder of Anadara granosa on the testosterone level, frequency and quality of sounds, and metabolism of Pelung chickens within set parameters of thyroid hormone levels, the triiodothyronine (T3)/thyroxine (T4) ratio, and weight gain. Materials and Methods: This study used four Pelung chickens aged 14 months. Control data consisted of data before treatment (day 0). Shell powder of A. granosa was administered for 56 days. Body weight (BW) was measured, and blood samples were drawn. In addition, the sounds from Pelung chickens were recorded once every 2 weeks on days 14, 28, 42, and 56. The blood samples were analyzed using the enzyme immunoassay method to determine testosterone, T3, and T4 levels. The sounds of Pelung chickens were recorded using the Hagemon touch method and analyzed using the Audacity application. Results: The results showed a significant difference (p

Pendahuluan: Disfungsi ovarium merupakan keadaan ovarium yang mengalami kegagalan dalam sekresi hormon seks steroid. Penurunan sekresi hormon terutama estrogen dapat memicu peningkatan sitokin proinflamasi seperti IL-1, IL-6 dan TNF-α yang berperan dalam resorpsi tulang dan reaksi inflamasi periodontal. Salah satu drug of choice dari periodontitis adalah metronidazole. Penggunaan metronidazole secara sistemik dapat mengakibatkan efek samping, sehingga diperlukan bahan alternatif yang memiliki efek terapi antiinflamasi. Salah satu tanaman yang memiliki efek antiinflamasi adalah daun Singkong. Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis potensi ekstrak daun Singkong sebagai antiinflamasi terhadap profil leukosit darah tepi model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis. Metode: Jenis penelitian eksperimental laboratoris dengan post-test only control group design. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 18 ekor tikus betina yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok besar yakni kelompok disfungsi ovarium dan kelompok kecil periodontitis. Pembuatan model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan tikus periodontitis dilakukan selama 28 hari. Setelah masing-masing kelompok dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok yang diberikan perlakuan aquades, metronidazole dan ekstrak daun Singkong selama 7 hari. Setiap tikus diambil darahnya melalui plexus infraorbitalis pada hari ke-1, hari ke-3 dan hari ke-7. Darah yang diambil selanjutnya dilakukan perhitungan jumlah sel leukosit darah tepi menggunakan kamar hitung dan perhitungan jenis dengan cara visual. Hasil: Hasil uji LSD menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna jumlah leukosit darah tepi antar hari pada kelompok tikus yang mengalami disfungsi ovarium (p≤0,05). Simpulan: Ekstrak daun Singkong (Manihot esculenta Crantz) dapat menurunkan profil leukosit perifer model tikus disfungsi ovarium dan periodontitis. Kata kunci: Disfungsi ovarium, periodontitis, profil leukosit perifer, ekstrak daun singkong. ABSTRACT Introduction: Ovarian dysfunction is when the ovaries fail in the secretion of steroid sex hormones. Decreased secretion of hormones, especially estrogen, can trigger an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α, which play a role in bone resorption and periodontal inflammatory reactions. One drug of choice for periodontitis is metronidazole. Systemic use of metronidazole can cause side effects, so an alternative material with a therapeutic anti-inflammatory effect is needed. One of the plants that have an anti-inflammatory effect is cassava leaves. The research objective was to analyse the potential of cassava leaf extract as an anti-inflammatory against the peripheral blood leukocyte profile in a mouse model of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis. Methods: This was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test only control group design. The research sample consisted of 18 female rats divided into two large groups: the ovarian dysfunction group and the small periodontitis group. The making of mouse models of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis rats was carried out for 28 days. After each group was divided into three groups treated with distilled water, metronidazole and cassava leaf extract for seven days. Blood was drawn from each mouse through the infraorbital plexus on day 1, day three, and 7. The blood that was taken was then performed to calculate the number of peripheral blood leukocytes using the counting room and the calculation of the type by visual means. Results: The results of the LSD test showed that there was a significant difference in the number of peripheral blood leukocytes between days in the group of rats with ovarian dysfunction (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Cassava leaf extract (Manihot esculenta Crantz) can reduce the profile of peripheral leukocytes in a mouse model of ovarian dysfunction and periodontitis. Keywords: Ovarian dysfunction, periodontitis, peripheral leukocytes profile, cassava leaf extract.

Thyroxine hormone (T4) was one of the hormones related to metabolism rate. Animal transportation could be stressor interfering metabolism. Sargassum crasifoium was one of brown algae species that contained some important nutrients and also flavonoids. The study aimed at finding out the effect of the Sargassum on the decrase in thyroxine hormone and body weight loss. It used 9 Javanese Randu goats that were classified into 3 treatment groups. Group I served as control, Group II was treated with 450 mg/kg BW of Sargassum estract and Group III was treated with vitamin B1. All of the goats were transported for 12 hours using pickup truck at the speed of 60 km/hour. Blood samples were drawn before the transportation, during loading, 6 hours after the transportation and at the end of the transportation, while the body weight of the goats was weighed before and after the transportation. The results of the study showed that the T4 hormone decreased in the Group I and increased in the Group III during the transportation, while it was stable in the Group II. The biggest percentage of the body weight loss took place to the Group III (0.13%), while the smallest percentage took place to the Group II (0.063%). Statistical analysis showed that the Sargassum extract did not have any significant effect (p>0.05) on both the thyroxine hormone and the body weight loss during the transportation. Based on the results of the study it could be concluded that the Sargassum extract could stabilize the thyroxine hormone during the transportation so that it could prevent the body weight loss

The effects of pregnancy and lactation on hematochemical and mineral parameters were evaluated in Ettawa cross-bred goats in Disctrict Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Blood plasma samples were collected from 14 th pregnant goats (2 month n=4; 3 month n=6; 4 month n=4) and 16 lactation goats (1 month, n= 4; 2 month, n=5; 3 month, n=3 and 4 month, n=4). Blood serum samples were collected from 18 pregnanct goats (1 month, n=3; 2 month, n=2; 3 month, n=6; 4 month, n=4) and 16 lactation goats (1 month, n=4; 2 month, n=5; 3 month, n=3; 4 month, n=4). The does averaged 2.5-4 years old and their mean body weights were 30-40 kg. The current result showed that pregnant does recorded higher (p

The presence of pollutants in water makes the environment toxic to all living biota and affects reproduction in fish. One of such pollutants is endosulfan, which is an off-patent organochlorine insecticide, widely used in various agricultural activities. Endosulfan is extremely toxic to fish and all other aquatic organisms, showing a range of chronic effects, including genotoxicity, and reproductive issues. Therefore, the aim of the research was to find the effect of endosulfan on cGnRH, sGnRH, GtH-I and GtH-II gene expression inmale hard-lipped barb fish. These fish were kept in aquarium containing several levels of endosulfan (0 mg/L [control]; 0.88 mg/L [low level]; 1.76 mg/L [medium level]; and 2.64 mg/L [high] level) for 60 days. The effects of endosulfan on GnRH performance on the fishwere evaluated by the expressions of these genes; cGnRH-II, sGnRH, GtH-I, and GtH-II. In the 8th week, there was a decrease in the expression of all the four genes in fish with high dose of endosulfan compared with the control group (P < 0.05). These findings showedthat endosulfan inhibits the expression of cGnRH, sGnRH, GtH-I and GtH-II genes in male hard-lipped barb.

Gonadotropine Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is one of the recommended hormones to overcome ovulation problems and it can increase pregnancy rate so that it is used in government programs to increase cattle population in Indonesia, although the results are not yet optimal. The purpose of this study is to compare the composition of bovine GnRH receptor nucleotides with the GenBank reference so that the level of genetic diversity of bovine receptors in Indonesia is known. PCR product sequencing using Promoter F and Exon 1 R primers were further aligned with the reference sequences of Bos Taurus GnRHR mRNA GenBank using the MEGA X program. The results of the analysis found the presence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the coding region of 1st cow position 38(A> T), 261(C > T), 342(C >T), 411(C >T) and 495(C > T) and 2nd cow positions 261(C >T). Changes in amino acids were also detected in 1st cow position 13 (H> L). The presence of SNP was found to indicate genomic variation between individuals at cattle receptors in Indonesia.

The notion of the matrix Jacobson graph was introduced in 2019. Let R be a commutative ring and J(R) be the Jacobson radical of ring R. The matrix Jacobson graph of ring R size m × n, denoted 𝔍(R)m × n, is defined as a graph where the vertex set is Rm × n ∖ J(R)m × n such that two distinct vertices A, B are adjacent if and only if 1 − det(AtB) is not a unit in ring R. Here we obtain some graph theoretical properties of 𝔍(R)m × n including its connectivity, planarity and perfectness.

Anadara clam shell contains high Zinc. This microelement is recognised as acting natural aromatase blocker (NAB) that capable of boosting testosterone level. The aim of this study was to evaluates the testosterone level of Canaries following Anadara nodifera administration. Adult male Canaries (n = 27) were group into 3 with 9 repetition of each i.e T0 [control, was given by Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium (Na-CMC)], T1 (Zinc Sulphate 0.013 mg/30 g BW), and T2 (NAB 0.3 mg/30 g BW). The T2 treatment was NAB or shell powder of Anadara nodifera which was diluted 1:1 in Na-CMC. The birds were treated orally for 21 days. The complete blood cell count was performed in a haemo analyser except the erythrocyte was calculated manually in the Improved Neubauer counting chamber. Testosterone level was measured in ELISA. Subsequently gen CYP19 aromatase in syrinx, brain and testis were identified employing IHC and descriptively analysed. The result indicated significant elevated level of testosterone (p0.05). To conclude, Anadara nodifera at 0.3 mg/30 g BW was capable of acting as NAB to promote testosterone level. This was confirmed by the reduction of CYP19 aromatase gene receptors in syrinx, brain and testis. However NAB treatment was not significantly affecting routine blood profile.

This paper introduces continuous-like linear operators on bilinear spaces as a generalization of continuous linear operators on Hilbert spaces. It is well known that the existence of the adjoint of a linear operator on a Hilbert space is equivalent to the operator being continuous. In this paper, this result is extended to the class of linear operators on bilinear spaces. It is shown that the existence of the adjoint of a linear operator on a bilinear space is guaranteed if and only if the operator is continuous-like.

The objective of this research was to evaluate metabolism of inorganic phosphat (Pi) and calcium (Ca) in kacang goats subjected to 60-d feed restriction and 60-d full feeding (refeeding). Nine adult male goats were divided into three groups used in this study. Restrictions include 40% (group I), 50% (group II), and 60% (group III) of the ration of dry fodder. To obtain the baseline all animals from all groups were fullfeeding from the start of the study (day 0) to day 60 then followed by restriction stage on day 61 to day 120. The next stage is refeeding from day 121 to 180. Pi and Ca levels were analyzed on days 60, 120, and 180, respectively. The results showed that restriction followed by refeeding decreased Ca levels in all three groups and Pi of animals in groups II and III was below the baseline. The level of Pi reach above the baseline were seen only in animals in group I following restriction and refeeding, although there was a tendency to decrease after refeeding. Based on the results of the study it is concluded that the restriction followed by refeeding decreases the level of Pi and Ca in adult male kacang goats.

In this study a generalization of the Riesz representation theorem on non-degenerate bilinear spaces, particularly on spaces of truncated Laurent series, was developed. It was shown that any linear functional on a non-degenerate bilinear space is representable by a unique element of the space if and only if its kernel is closed. Moreover an explicit equivalent condition can be identified for the closedness property of the kernel when the bilinear space is a space of truncated Laurent series.

The timing of artificial insemination relies largely on behavioral observation of estrus. The problemfaced is that not all cattle shows signs of estrus significantly, which affect the accuracy of insemination,and therefore,the success rate of Artificial Insemination is less than 50%. Recently, the determination ofestradiol levels as an indicator of estrus is done by observation of physical signs and doing ELISA test,which is expensive and provide longer time. In order to solve these problems, a tool estrus detector is madenamely Electronic Nose (EN). Determination of estrus with EN is cheaper because it does not need to usecomplexmaterials, just only use the samples. Mechanism of action of EN is using a sensor that is vaporized,while animals estrus will emit pheromones that are vaporized. Theaim of this study was to determinewhether the stage of estrus can be detected by using EN. Urine of female Ongole Crossbred which maintainedin Kuwang, district of Cangkringan, Yogyakarta, with BCS of 3 was used in this research. The sample wascollected shortly before injection of dinoprost as estrus synchronization then it repeated when cattle got estrus phase. The urinary sample of the estrus cattle was sensitive to methane, propane, butane, whereasin non-estrus cattle, besides the three of these component (methane, propane, butane), sensor was alsocaptured hydrogen sulfide. Furthermore, our electronic nose had been able to distinguish estrus phase andnon-estrus based on domain area.Thus, the Electronic Nose is very prospect used as a detector of estrus incattle. Hydrogen disulfide could possibly be used as an indicator comparison between cow estrus and nonestrus.

High fat diet can result in the loss of nitrergic neurons in the myenteric plexus. The study aimed at finding out the effect of high fat diet on the adaptation of nitrergic nerve of rat intestine. It used 15 male rats (Rattus norvegicus) of a month of age with mean body weight of 53.73 gr. The rats were adapted for 7 days to individual cages with ad libitum feeding. After random adaptation, all of the rats were assigned to 3 groups of five rats, namely K-7, K-10, and K-13 groups. Feed and drinking water were given ad libitum. The treatment of the high fat diet lasted for 7 weeks. After the treatment, all of the rats were fasted for 12 hours and then killed. Subsequently, small intestine segments (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) were taken. The intestinal segments were prepared by using NADPH-d histopathological technique to determine the morphometric changes of nitrergic myenteric neurons. During the treatment the rats were weighed every week and at the end of the study orbitalis vein blood measurement was carried out to see its glucose, cholesterol and cholecystokinin (CCK) plasma levels. The data of body weight, glucose, cholesterol, CCK levels, the total number of the nippergenic myenteric segments of the small intestine were statistically analyzed using Anova. The results of the study showed that the treatment of 7% to 13% fat diets for 7 weeks did not indicate any weight gain and any increase in cholescystokinin level, and any decrease in glucose level. However, it indicated significant increase in cholesterol level. The treatment of 10% and13% fat diets increased the total number of neurons in the jejunum and the ileum. Thus, it was concluded that the treatments of the high-fat diet of the rats (K-7, K-10, and K-13) for 7 weeks had significant effect on the adaptation of the neurons of the jejunum and the ileum.

The aim of this study is to determine the performance of a lab-made electronic nose (e-nose) composed of an array of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors in the detection and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) incubated in trypticsoy broth (TSB) media. Conventionally, the detection of L. monocytogenes and B. cereus is often performed by enzyme link immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These techniques require trained operators and expert, expensive reagents and specific containment. In this study, three types of samples, namely, TSB media, L. monocytogenes (serotype 4b American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 13792), and B. cereus (ATCC) 10876, were used for this experiment. Prior to measurement using the e-nose, each bacterium was inoculated in TSB at 1 × 103−104 CFU/mL, followed by incubation for 48 h. To evaluate the performance of the e-nose, the measured data were then analyzed with chemometric models, namely linear and quadratic discriminant analysis (LDA and QDA), and support vector machine (SVM). As a result, the e-nose coupled with SVM showeda high accuracy of 98% in discriminating between TSB media and L. monocytogenes, and between TSB media and B. cereus. It could be concluded that the lab-made e-nose is able to detect rapidly the presence of bacteria L. monocytogenes and B. cereus on TSB media. For the future, it could be used to identify the presence of L. monocytogenes or B. cereus contamination in the routine and fast assessment of food products in animal quarantine.

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) contains phytoestrogens that have a chemical structure resembling estrogen in the body. They function like estrogen and antiestrogen, affecting the metabolism of sex steroid hormones. This research aimed to determine the effect of the methanol extract of soybean on the histological structure and distribution of immunohistochemical Cyp19 aromatase in rat testis . Twenty males of Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 5. The frst group was the control and the second to fourth groups were given soybean extract (250 mg/kg of body weight, 500 mg/kg of body weight) and genistein (0.3 mg/kg of body weight), respectively, for 52 days. The results of this study indicate that the effect of methanol extract from soybean caused weight gain, and the weight of the testis and epididymis decreased. In addition, the histological results showed that seminiferous tubules were reduced in size, became irregular, were separated by a wide interstitium, and spermatogenic cells were decreased. The immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of Cyp19 aromatase in the rats decreased both in spermatocyte cells and Leydig cells. It could be concluded that the methanol extract of soybean induced testicular damage and reduced Cyp19 aromatase expression in rat testis.

Estrone conjugate (E1C) and pregnanediol glucuronide (PdG) were predominant steroid metabolites of estrogen and progesterone in feces of most primates and could be used to evaluate ovarian function. These metabolites were determined along with records of genital swelling throughout 3-4 months period from three female Javan Gibbons (Hylobates moloch) maintained in pairing-typed cage at Schmutzer Primate Center, Jakarta (Ullah) and at Taman Margasatwa Taman Sari, Bandung (Donna and Citah). Following methanolic extraction of lyophilized fecal powder, samples were analyzed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for E1C and PdG. In all of the three females observed, both hormone profiles did not indicate any regular cycle of ovarian function even though genital swellings were sometimes observed. In one female (Donna) the hormone patterns showed clear signs of cycle irregularities with extended luteal phase of 40 days and erratic pattern of follicular phase. Of the other two females, no ovarian cycle was found. The data indicate that the fecal steroids analysis is a practical and valuable diagnostic tool for providing reliable information on ovarian function in Javan Gibbon. Factors affected reproductive hormonal profile should be taken in consideration in trying to achieve success in captive breeding program for this species.

It will be diffcult to use either omnidirectional or fixed beam antenna due to the high propagation losses caused by atmospheric absorption at mmWave for 5G mobile communication. Several studies have been conducted recently using butler matrix which is part of switchable antenna with some advantages such as simple, minimal cost, low loss, etc. Previous studies also have designed vivaldi array antenna at 28 GHz which provides a fix beam directional radiation pattern with narrow beam that requires real phase setting. However, there has been no research using vivaldi antenna with butler matrix, whereas it has some advantages such as wide bandwidth, high gain, high directivity, etc. This paper proposed 4x4 butler matrix integrated with vivaldi antenna by using phase shift of 45 . The design is developed on a single layer of Rogers RT5880 with dielectric constant 2.2 and thickness 0.254 mm. Best results of simulation were picked for overall system at 28 GHz, and the results of antenna as follows: the return loss was below -10 dB, the realized antennas gain was 10.2 dB with unidirectional radiation pattern and bandwidth antenna of 6 GHz that covers from 25 GHz to 31 GHz. The butler matrix average phase di erent between output port are -44.106°, 137.38°, -137.66°, 43.95° with phase err°r °f 0.894°, 2.38°, 2.66°, 1.06°. Antenna array that has been given di erent phase by butler matrix is able to shift radiation pattern on the input port successively with range of beam that can be achieved equal to 185o.

Massive MIMO with multiple BS antennas can give simultaneous service for multiple user equipments (UEs) that are widely considered in massive connectivity to meet high data rate requirements. User selection is critical to optimize the overall performance of MIMO systems in various scenarios and has been extensively studied in cellular networks to guarantee service for users. In the previous study, location-dependent user selection (LUS) had extremely low computational complexity which is capable to enhance sum rate performance, but there are many environmental condition assumptions that make this algorithm does not reflect real conditions. In this research, we proposed modified LUS with approximations of sum rate in large system regimes by adding the sum ergodic of the distance from one user to another which enhance sum rate performance. In addition, we vary the user environment that was ignored in previous research by varying the path loss exponent values. In this research, we focus modify on sub-urban areas with each UEs having different environmental conditions. The selection scheme is equipped with spatial correlation fading on the transmitter side MIMO antenna. The simulation shows an increase in sum rate between 0.0012 to 0.3935 in perfect CSI. For the imperfect CSI with antenna correlation coefficient for power at 30 dBm is 0.5 when 32x64 antennas is 14 optimal active UEs with sum rate is 23.4207 bps/Hz. For cases where the user is located in different positions with different environmental circumstances, with 32x64 antennas showing the highest sum rate is 24.8436 bps/Hz with 17 optimal UEs.

The availability of specific and rapid detection methods is essential for monitoring the health status of farmed species, particularly in viral disease as in this case early diagnosis is a critical factor in containing disease outbreaks. Jembrana Disease Virus (JDV) is a lentivirus that causes an acute, severe disease syndrome in infected Bali cattle in Indonesia, resulting in heavy economic losses because of the high mortalities. The virus-host interaction and the modes of transmission are still unknown. The goal of the research was to designa probe candidate of Jembrana Disease Virus based on envelope-transmembrane (env-tm) gene to optimize Jembrana disease detection method. The DNA fragment derived from env-tm of JDV was used, cloned in pGEX-TM and expressed in E.coli DH 5α. Sequence analysis was conducted with BLAST programs from NCBI. Sequence analyses of the fragments of env-tm clone, indicated that it has a very closed genetic relation with 97,68% homology identity. Probe was designed based on the conserved region of env-tm using Geneious resulted in JT2 252 bp long. BLAST analyses showed that probes had high specifity to other strains of JDV in Indonesia.Key words : probe, env-tm, JDV, specifity, sensitivity.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gugus fungsi penanda yang merepresentasikaan hormon metabolit E1C dan PdG serta bilangan gelombangnya pada urine yang didukung dengan pengamatan genitalia untuk memastikan pendeteksian masa subur pada lutung jawa (Trachypithecus auratus). Sampel urine dan pengamatan genitalia diperoleh dari 2 (dua) ekor lutung jawa betina di Pusat Primata Schmutzer, Kebun Binatang Ragunan, Jakarta. Sampel urin diambil setiap hari dan dilengkapi dengan pengamatan genitalia. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa gugus fungsi penanda yang merepresentasikan E1C dan PdG pada lutung jawa sama dengan yang teridentifikasi pada tikus namun dengan bilangan gelombang berbeda. Hormon metabolit E1C direpresentasikan melalui gugus fungsi alkil, aromatik, dan hidroksil pada bilangan gelombang 596 cm-1, 698 cm-1, 3599 cm-1, dan PdG direpresentasikan melalui gugus fungsi alkil dan aldehid pada bilangan gelombang 1450 dan 1699 cm-1. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa gugus fungsi penanda yang teridentifikasi oleh fourier transform infrared (FTIR) dapat berlaku secara universal, namun bilangan gelombang yang merepresentasikannya bersifat spesifik spesies.

The aims of this research were to determine diurnal patterns of testosterone and cortisol metabolites to predict the testis functional status. In this study, fecal testosterone and cortisol were quantified in 77 samples from three male Hylobates moloch during a course of three months period. These data showed that the highest concentration of fecal testosterone occured at 18.00-06.00 (23.61 ng/g dried feces), then declined gradually. The lowest concentration was in the evening (5.54 ng/g dried feces). Our tests showed that there was a decrease in the mean testosterone concentration from 06.00-10.00 to 10.00-14.00 to 14.00-18.00. For cortisol, the highest concentration occured at 06.00-10.00 (597.84 ng/g dried feces), then decline gradually in the evening (225.73 ng/g dried feces).
