Framing Media Terkait Polemik Pengesahan Qanun Bendera dan Lambang Aceh

Framing is the way in which the reality constructed by media. This research aimed to investigative and analyze the framing and the siding of the polemic about the legalization of the Flag Qanun and Logogram of Aceh. The research used the qualitative method with the framing analysis approach the text of the online news website were analyzed using Gamson and Modigliani model, which refers to a frame consisting of two supporting elements, namely the framing devices and the reasoning devices. The research objects were two online news websites; Kompas.com and Antaranews.com. The total sample frames comprised 56 pieces of news from the two online news website in three mounthstime from March through May 2013. The research results revealed that the two websites considered the polemic about the Flag Qanun and Logogram of Aceh important because there was a news value in it. The framing substance used by two online news websites was the same, i.e. the Flag Qanun and Logogram of Aceh was inconstitutional and therefore had to be revised. Such a framing had an implication that the media took side with the groups who were against the Flag Qanun and Logogram of Aceh

Prevalence of F. Gigantica and Pathological Changes in Liver of Simeulue Buffalo

The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of fasciolosis of Simeulue's buffalo using macroscopic approach by observing pathological changes in the liver. The sample were obtained from slaughterhouse in Sinabang. A number of 60 livers were obtained on July to September 2015 based on post mortem examination. From this sample, a total of 57 livers were found positive indication of infested by F. gigantica (95%). The length and width of F. gigantica was 25 mm and 7 mm. The body was flat as a leaf, blunt on posterior, gray, brown, transparant and do not have a real shoulder shapes. The liver which were not infested with F. gigantica showed sharp edges and a very high degree of elasticity. On the other hand, in the infested liver was found F. gigantica in the bile duct and showed a color of pale, the dark brown exudate as well as objects looks like gravel. The buffaloes sample were supplied to the abattoir from the paddy fields or oil palm plantations area. In comparison, the buffaloes raised in both areas were not different on the pathological changes of liver. In conclusion, this study showed that simeulue's buffalo is very prevalence to F. gigantica

Detection of Babesia bovis carrier cattle by using polymerase chain reaction amplification of parasite DNA

Carrier cattle infected with Babesia bovis are difficult to detect because of the low numbers of parasites that occur in peripheral blood. However, diagnosis of low-level infections with the parasite is important for evaluating the efficacies of vaccines and in transmission and epidemiological studies. We used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify a portion of the apocytochrome b gene from the parasite and tested the ability of this method to detect carrier cattle. The target sequence is associated with a 7.4-kb DNA element in undigested B. bovis genomic DNA (as shown previously), and the amplified product was detected by Southern and dot blot hybridization. The assay was specific for B. bovis, since no amplification was detected with Babesia bigemina, Trypanosoma brucei, Anaplasma marginale, or leukocyte DNA. The target sequence was amplified in DNA from B. bovis Mexico, Texas, and Australia S and L strains, demonstrating the applicability of the method to strains from different geographic regions. The sensitivity of the method ranged from 1 to 10 infected erythrocytes extracted from 0.5 ml of blood. This sensitivity was about 1,000 times greater than that from the use of unamplified parasite DNA. By the PCR method, six B. bovis carrier cattle were detected 86% of the time (range, 66 to 100%) when they were tested 11 times, while with microscopic examination of thick blood smears, the same carrier cattle were detected only 36% of the time (range, 17 to 66%). The method provides a useful diagnostic tool for detecting B. bovis carrier cattle, and the sensitivity is significantly improved over that of current methods. The results also suggest that characteristics of the apocytchrome b gene may make this a valuable target DNA for PCR-based detection of other hemoparasites

Media dan Pandemi: Frame Tentang Pandemi COVID-19 dalam Media Online di Indonesia (Studi pada Portal Berita Kompas.com dan Detik.com)

This study aims to analyze the frame used by the media in the Covid-19 coverage in Indonesia on the Kompas.com and detik.com news portals during March 2020. The method used is framing analysis with three indicators, namely, frame type, news source, and news tone. The results showed that in the Covid-19 coverage in Indonesia the media used two dominant frames, namely, (1) the public health frame to show the aspects of victims, risks, and threats of Covid-19 and (2) the policy frame to frame the government's strategy in handling Covid-19. In the reporting of Covid-19, the Central Government such as the Ministry of Health, the Government Spokesperson on the Task Force for the Acceleration of Handling Covid-19, and the President of the Republic of Indonesia. As for the news tone, the two media studied showed that the narrative of fear and worry is the dominant tone. While the recommended tone and instructions as well as the tone of hope and solution are not displayed by too much media. This research recommends that the media and journalists use narratives that build expectations and provide solutions for the public because the Covid-19 disaster increased public uncertainty. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis frame yang digunakan media dalam pemberitaan Covid-19 di Indonesia pada portal berita kompas.com dan detik.com selama bulan Maret 2020. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis framing dengan tiga indikator, yaitu, jenis frame, narasumber berita, dan tone berita. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam pemberitaan Covid-19 di Indonesia media menggunakan dua bingkai dominan, yaitu, (1) frame kesehatan publik untuk menunjukkan aspek korban, risiko, dan ancaman Covid-19 dan (2) frame kebijakan untuk membingkai strategi pemerintah dalam penanganan Covid-19. Narasumber pemberitaan Covid-19 adalah Pemerintah Pusat seperti Kementerian Kesehatan, Juru Bicara Pemerintah pada Gugus Tugas Percepatan Penanganan Covid-19, dan Presiden. Untuk tone berita, dua media yang diteliti menunjukkan narasi ketakutan dan kekhawatiran merupakan tone dominan, sedangkan tone anjuran dan instruksi serta tone harapan dan solusi tidak terlalu banyak ditampilkan media. Riset ini merekomendasikan agar media dan jurnalis menggunakan narasi yang membangun harapan dan memberikan solusi bagi publik karena bencana Covid-19 meningkatkan ketidakpastian khalayak

Economic Loss From Nematodiasis in Local Goat Farmings Around the Region of Animal Primary Health Care of Batee Roo, Aceh Jaya Regency

This study aims to dicover the economic loss caused by nematodiasis in local goat farmings around the animal primary health care (Puskeswan) in Batee Roo, Aceh Jaya. In this study, as many as 84 goats positive of nematodiasis were used as samples for cross-sectional approach. Nematodiasis goats were confirmed from clinical symptoms and fecal examination using centrifugation method. Economic loss was determined by measuring body weight of all the goats. The results showed that the goats in the local farms had more than 70% prevalence rate of nematodiasis, which caused economic loss around Rp. 34.300,-/male goat, and Rp.9.310,-/ female goat. Based on the goats population in Batee Roo in 2014, total economic loss from nematodiasis for male goats reached Rp. 19.012.000,- per year, and for female it was Rp. 9.012.000,- per year. From this data, it can be concluded that the economic loss from nematodiasis in male and female goats around Puskeswan Batee Roo, Aceh Jaya per year could reach Rp. 20.000.000
